Alex thought, ‘If you knew that I was the boss of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, you wouldn’t have said that.’ However, now wasn’t the time to reveal that yet. Dorothy added, “I hope you take some time to think about what you even want to do in the future. You’re a full grown man and yet you’re doing nothing with your life! I know what you’re going to say, that you need to take care of your mom. But you can always hire a caretaker, can’t you? Just get a job, or you can work in my company.”Alex was put in a difficult spot, as he didn’t want to leave his mother to caretakers.However, under Dorothy’s glare, he nodded. “Okay, I’ll think about it.”The next morning, Alex gave a ride to Dorothy to the airport in her car.She met up with a few colleagues there as they were going to attend an exhibition in Block City.Alex then drove back home.On the way home, he received a call.

The slap startled Cheryl. It made her cheek burn up.And the worst part was what Claire had said. Cheryl knew that she was innocent—she was just a doctor, nothing else. Why did she have to endure such treatment?Claire’s loud yelling caught the attention of numerous nurses and families in the hospital.Cheryl was pissed off. “Please mind your words, madam. Please do not spout such nonsense.”Claire was an extremely hot-tempered woman, the type to hold a grudge and get revenge.She swung her hand again, slapping Cheryl across the face. Cheryl couldn’t even dodge it.Claire yelled, “Bullsh*t! Mind my words? Anyone would know that you’re the one who should mind your words! Seducing someone else’s husband like the sl*t that you are, and even hugging in public like this! Why don’t you just admit to being a shameless sl*t? I saw everything! There’s even saliva on your clothes! You guys just aren’t naked yet…”Everyone was looking at them now, gossiping softly.Cheryl was so triggered

Holy sh*t!Alex explored his mind—it literally felt like a book, the pages flipping on its own as the vast amount of information rearranged and presented themselves: Traditional medicine, witch doctors, voodoo, charms, even medicinal martial arts. Everything came to him just a blink of an eye, engulfing his thoughts.Alex’s body relaxed as he felt the warm energy course through his body.“Alex, Alex?” Cheryl’s voice rang in Alex’s ears, snapping him back into reality.He blinked. “Huh? Dr. Coney, where am I? Where’s Mom?” Cheryl replied, “Alex, you just fainted…” Just then, a nurse rushed over. “Dr. Coney, the patient Brittany Rockefeller has stopped breathing…”The lot rushed towards Brittany’s ward.Alex saw his mother lying still in the bed, her face as pale as a sheet and the ECG in a straight line. A doctor approached them, shaking her head.“Mom! Oh Mom...” Alex cried loudly as he rushed to Brittany’s bedside.However, a bundle of information flashed through his mind:

Cheryl stared in disbelief.She approached Brittany’s bedside and noticed her eyelids fluttering, slowly opening up.Cheryl thought that she was hallucinating.After snapping back to reality, she exclaimed excitedly, “Alex, Alex! Your mother woke up! She woke up!”Alex opened his eyes immediately, overjoyed.“Mom! Mom! You woke up!” Alex exclaimed, holding Brittany’s hand. His eyes turned red as he started to tear up.It was real, the book was real.Even his ancestor was real.This was all thanks to his ancestor.Cheryl was extremely excited and she started tearing up as well. She couldn’t believe that Brittany actually woke up. They had announced her death not long ago, yet she just woke up suddenly.This was really a miracle in the medical field!“Could it be that he really was trying to save her?” Cheryl murmured under her breath, staring at Alex with puzzled eyes.Brittany actually woke up and turned to Alex. “Alex, where am I?”Cheryl ran out of the ward to call her c

Spark even wanted to have Alex’s wife.If this were really John’s scheme, it would be terrifying.Alex clenched his fists tightly. “Don’t worry, Mom.

The next morning, Alex found himself waking up at his mother’s bedside.He realized that he had trained the whole night away. So, he felt sticky and uncomfortable.He looked down at himself and what met his eyes shocked him.His body was covered in sticky black oil. It smelt disgusting and strong.He knew that he had used his ancestor’s Chi to train for the Force. This helped him cleanse his entire body. Although he was uncomfortable from the sticky goop, he felt extremely energized despite training for the whole night. His body and mind were both refreshed and his core coursed with Chi.He turned to Brittany, she was still fast asleep. But her condition seemed better now.This made him believe that it was not a dream.He immediately rushed to the bathroom in the ward and took a shower. However, his clothes were dirty as well, and they smelt disgusting.“Well, I guess I have to go back to the Assex’s residence!”After Brittany woke up, Alex talked to her for a brief while and

“Mom!” Alex came to the hospital and visited his mom again. She was awake at the time. His anger towards the Assexes dissolved as soon as he saw her.Examining Brittany with his knowledge of the Ultimate Book of Medicine, he noticed that she was doing a lot better than the day before. Relieved, Alex smiled widely and said, “I bought this porridge from a stall nearby. The doctor said that you could only eat soft foods as of now. I’ll feed you, alright?”Brittany stared at him lovingly, “Alex, I heard that you came to take care of me every day, you’re even more professional than the nurses now. I’m sorry that I’ve been such a burden on you.”Alex could feel his chest tightening. His mother was the absolute sweetest. His mother-in-law, Claire, however, only treated him as a slave.He fed the porridge slowly to Brittany, then gave all four of her limbs a massage.Brittany had been in a coma for more than six months, so her muscles had been slowly wasting away.However, Alex’s massagi

Claire was queuing up outside of the clinic with the other patients. She was at the very end of the line, currently talking to the woman next to her...“The legendary Dr. Coney is really something. I had to ask quite a few friends to help me get an appointment with him which I had to wait for another three months to happen.”“Yeah, I had to wait for more than three months too. Well I can’t complain, no doctor is better than him!”As she conversed, Claire felt someone approaching her and turned around. She frowned when she realized it was Alex. “Why are you here?”Alex greeted her out of habit, “Mum.”Claire exploded with anger, “What do you mean Mum? Who’s your Mum? Let me tell you something, you useless piece of sh*t. My daughter will soon divorce you and we’re cutting clean! Stop trying to crawl back to us! Heck, were you stalking me? You probably couldn’t find a place to stay, right? Are you going to beg me to take you back?”Alex shook his head and said, “Ma’am, don’t you wor

“Huh, what happened?”“A little girl! Her face is pale and bluish! She’s not breathing!”“This is terrifying… would Dr. Coney be able to save her?”The crowd started discussing among themselves, hoping for the best.Just then, a middle-aged man carried a five-year-old-girl into the room. He was crying hysterically, with panic written all over his face. With a loud thud, he knelt down.Cheryl immediately got into action. She briefly checked the little girl’s vitals.As she checked, her expression darkened. The little girl wasn’t breathing and had no pulse.Cheryl immediately started doing CPR, asking the middle-aged man as to what had happened.The man cried, “I don’t know, I… I was just paying at the counter. Then, my little girl just fainted behind me. She just fell unconscious.”James approached the little girl as well, he said, “Examine her throat.”Cheryl did as she was told, yet she didn’t find anything blocking the airway.James smacked the little girl’s back a few tim

“Huh?” Everyone stared at the little girl.Her eyelashes fluttered gently as she slowly opened her eyes.She actually woke up.Cheryl’s eyes widened, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.However, after waking up, the little girl felt extremely uncomfortable. She placed both of her hands on her neck area as if she was suffocating.“There’s something in her throat. It’s still stuck!” James said panickedly.“Let me handle this!” Alex said and pressed his hand against the little girl’s chest. He lightly poked on her chest again, as if he were playing a lute.Cheryl recognized this method. Alex had massaged his mother’s limbs the same.With a loud thud, Alex pressed down hard on the little girl’s chest. An object flew out of her mouth as she spat it out.It was a kumquat.The man suddenly remembered something and exclaimed. “It’s the mountain hawthorn. I bought some for Zoey a while ago. I thought she had finished it earlier. I didn’t think it…”Alex said, “It was stuck to
