âUhm, doctor, are you sure that heâs not treating the patient?â a middle-aged man
asked.
He was the father of one of the victims. His daughter was the last one to receive Alexâs
treatment.
Hence the deadly Chi within her was yet to be removed. Everyone elseâs
bodies had been cleared of the Chi except for her.
Clarence looked determined. âIâm sure of it, I swear on my life!â
The man already had doubts about Alex.
âHow could such a young man be so skilled?â
He turned to Alex and said, âMy daughter doesnât need your help. I could already tell
that this was no treatment. Youâre obviously just trying to molest her. Youâre disgusting.â
Alexâs gaze turned cold. âAre you sure?
If your daughter doesnât receive treatment now,
her life would be at risk.â
The man was stern. âIâm very sure. Donât you dare curse my daughter. She doesnât
need a liar like you to save her.â
Alex shrugged, nodded, and left immediately.
Since he was just here to help Cheryl out, providing treatment was just out of pure
kindness.
He was no savior, and so when someone chose death, he wouldnât be
bothered to beg them to let him save them.
Wallace looked at the man, then towards Clarence. Letting out a scoff, he left the ward
as well.
Alex decided to look for Cheryl. He still remembered that he was about to have his first
intimate date at Landison Hotel. Ashe looked at his watch, he realized it was time to
leave.
Just then, Cheryl had just exited the pharmacy too, holding a bag with a few ice cream
cones.
âYouâre back! The medicine is getting made now. Itâll be done in an hour,â Cheryl said as
she took out an ice cream cone. âI passed by a convenience store and bought these
along the way. You can have one. Pick a flavor!â
âUhm⦠Thatâs alright. The patients are pretty much fine now. As for the medicine, have
them take it once a day for a week straight.â
Cheryl smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
Cheryl and her colleagues had been busy figuring out a way to save these victims, yet
none of their methods worked. And yet, Alex was able to save them so effortlessly in
just a few hours.
âWhy should such an amazing man be married to Dorothy? She wouldnât even let him
sleep with her. Why should they stay together?
Theyâd be better off divorced.â
With this thought, Cheryl unwrapped one of the ice cream cones and handed it to him.
âJust have one, I already bought it anyway!â
Alex shook his head. âNah, I have to go.â
âYouâre not going to wait till the medication is done?â
âNo, I still have something to do.â
Cheryl could feel her heart sink. âThen, just think of it as accompanying me. Itâs kind of
sad eating alone, you know?â
Alex let out a chuckle and nodded in surrender. âAlright, alright.â
He grabbed the ice cream cone and took a few bites. However, his mind was distracted,
imagining scenarios of what would happen in the hotel. He was so out of it that he
ended up getting some ice cream on his cheeks.
âHey you, youâve got ice cream on your face. Youâre such a child,â Cheryl laughed at
him.
âReally? Where?â Alex was stunned.
âThere. Come on, lean forward a little. Iâll wipe it off for you.â
Alex didnât think much and leaned towards Cheryl.
Cheryl took a piece of tissue. However, having his face so near to hers made her heart
pound like crazy. Her mind was slightly hazy. She couldnât think straight and kissed him.
She kissed the ice cream off his cheek.
Alex froze in his tracks.
Just then, he could see someone standing at the door at the corner of his eye. It was his
wife, Dorothy Assex. With this, the color drained from his face, and he froze just like an
iceberg.
