Anna Coleman stood next to Wallace Yoke. She looked at him with a cold gaze, as if she was born
better off than everyone else.
Alex Rockefeller could not help but laugh in his heart. No wonder Michelle Yowell did not like her.
If Colin Yowell decided to marry her, it would only serve as the beginning of headaches and troubles at
home.
His gaze shifted from Anna to Wallace. âHow may I help you, sir?â
Wallace was slightly eager as he said, âMr. Rockefeller, I have some knowledge in medicine and
treating people but I have never seen anything like what you did just now. Would you be so kind to
explain the workings behind your treatment?â
He was extremely polite and talked to Alex in a slight bow.
The medical community would be shocked to find out that the Imperial Doctor spoke to an unknown
person with such respect and admiration.
âThe inner workings?â Michelle snickered. âWhy should he tell you? What if you are trying to steal the
knowledge for your own use?â
Wallace was embarrassed and he looked a little uncomfortable by Michelleâs retort.
Since he seemed to be genuinely regretful and had the inclination to learn, Alex sighed and said, âMy
skills are fundamentally distinct from yours, I donât think you would understand even if I told you.â
Wallace looked beaten as he smiled bitterly. âI see. Sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Rockefeller. Goodbye.â
Seeing Wallaceâs wistful state, Alex could not help but feel sorry.
At the end of the day, they were just trying to save a patientâs life. Why should he give the Imperial
Doctor a hard time over an insignificant matter. âHold up, Doctor Yoke!â
âYes?â Wallace stopped in his tracks.
Alex continued, âYour expertise is not to be doubted, that is for sure. As for what happened, it is not
your fault as well. My skills are quite distinct from what you practice and the Seven Needles of Life
Extension I used comes from Zharvakko, the witch doctorâs Ten Acupuncture Techniques. I donât mind
sharing but itâs not for the ordinary to fathom.â
âZharvakko! I did not expect his teachings to survive!â Wallace was shocked.
âYou know him, Doctor Yoke?â
âI heard from my mentor when I was younger. By chance, he got hold of Zharvakkoâs scriptures but
could not crack its secret even after spending decades studying.â Wallace kept shaking his head as he
spoke. âI suppose you are on your way to prepare Mr. Yowellâs medicine. Well then, I wonât disturb you
any longer. Thank you, sir!â
Anna was shocked to see Wallace, one of the most reputable doctors known to men, bow to Alex.
Alex nodded and left for Maple Villa with Michelle on the wheels.
***
Over at Assex Villa, Dorothy Assex wanted to know from her sister, Beatrice, whether Alex spent the
night with Cheryl Coney.
Her logical mind believed Alexâs explanation to be true. She knew his character and recognized that he
would not cheat.
Yet, every time she thought of the woman, she could not help but feel angry.
âOh, Dorothy, you came back early today.â
