Leanne Grave did not seem to be lying when she answered Alex Rockefellerâs question.
âCan you remove it, Mr. Rockefeller?â she anxiously asked.
It was very frightening for anyone when they found out that they had parasites in their body.
Alex thought for a while and replied, âYes, but not today. I need to prepare a few things before I can
remove them. That being said, do not, I repeat, do not let anyone else know about this, okay? I do not
know who planted the parasite, but if it is someone close, you will be in danger.â
The couple looked at him in shock.
To which Alex quickly comforted, âDonât worry. From the looks of the parasite, Iâd say that it has been in
your belly for two years. It doesnât really make a difference if we were to remove it a few days later.â
His thoughts quickly flashed to a girl who was in Michelle Yowellâs camp, Priscilla Paytas.
She possessed the Kyuhelios Pulse, and her blood was the bane of parasites. He needed her blood,
which could then be used to make the antidote.
âThank you so much, Mr. Rockefeller, we owe you so much!â A dismayed Leanne cried out in relief, as
she then hastily took out a gift prepared earlier.
It was a Patek Phillipe watch. Alex had seen the exact model before and knew it was priced at over two
million dollars or equivalent to a BMW M8.
He declined profusely but to no avail. After all, two million dollars did not mean anything to him now.
Leanne put it onto her wrist and smiled. âYou look amazing with the watch on! I dare say even more so
than my husband!â
âWait, are you leaving me, darling?â Jack chuckled.
âWhy, that is what I intend to do! â Leanne teased back with a cheeky smirk.
Suddenly, Alexâs phone rang and it was from Cheryl Coney.
He was immediately reminded of their previous call, the reason that the cold war between him and
Dorothy Assex existed. He sighed and picked up.
âAre you free now, Alex?â Cheryl cut straight to the point.
âI am, whatâs up?â he replied.
âHave you seen the news today? We have several young female patients with very unusual conditions.
I was in discussion with a few other experts, but we could not come up with a sound conclusion. Could
you come over to have a look?â
Alex was surprised. âWhat about your grandfather? Canât he help?â
âNo, he is out of state visiting friends as we speak.â
âI see. Well, Iâll be there soon.â
After hanging up, Alex bid his goodbyes to Jack and Leanne before heading for Premier Hospital.
On his way there, he quickly caught up on the news of those young female victims. Not long after, his
phone rang.
It was his wife, Dorothy, calling.
âThat was quick, am I out of the woods now?â, he thought as he picked up the call.
âDorothy, are you still angry? I did not lie to you.â
âI am so sorry I wronged you, my darling. Can you forgive me? Well⦠As an apology, I booked a
presidential suite at the Landison Hotel tonight. Why donât we spend the night there?â
The car screeched to a stop as Alex slammed his foot on the brake.
