The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 235

Just then, Dorothy could feel every ounce of energy in her body draining away as her heart ran cold. She was so upset at that moment that tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She had wanted to give herself away to the man. She even wanted to pin him down and go on top of him. She had imagined so many different scenarios in her head. Yet, she didn’t think that the man would lie to her and be with some other woman. Dorothy wanted to hang up and block his contact right there and then. They wouldn’t have to see each other ever again and live their separate lives from then on. Even so, her heart ached so much. She felt like she was suffocating. Tears trickled down her cheeks. “What is he doing?” Dorothy asked without thinking. She felt stupid after asking such a question. ‘What else could he be doing, for a woman to answer his phone at night? It was obvious that they had just done the deed!’ However, Cheryl replied, “He’s doing his duty as a doctor. Do you need anything? If not, I’m hanging up. I’ll tell him to contact you later. I’m busy now.” Dorothy wanted to laugh, despite her tears. “Cheryl Coney, do you think I’m some kind of idiot? I know Alex a million times better than you do. His duty as a doctor? Why don’t you call him a gynecologist then? Can you be any more shameless?” Cheryl’s hands stopped typing and froze mid-air. After a short pause, she said, “Dorothy Assex, if you really want to think that way, I have nothing else to say to you. I’d just like to say that you don’t deserve him.” Cheryl then hung up the phone. Putting the phone aside, she continued to work on her computer. As the prescription was digitized, she rushed to the pharmacy and urged her colleagues to pace up. The victims were weak, and they were losing their energy with every ticking second. If she were to save even just one minute, the victims would have a higher chance of survival. Upon leaving her office, she initially wanted to remind Alex that his wife called. However, her anger was immediately triggered at the thought of Dorothy’s words. ‘How dare she speak of me like that? I’ll just leave her on hold. I won’t tell him for now. Hmph!’ The dean and vice dean of the hospital, along with Clarence, rushed right into the ward. They were curious as to what Alex and Wallace were doing in there, more so toward Alex. They wanted to know if he was really that skilled or just a mere liar. As soon as they entered the ward, they saw Alex, poking a female patient’s body. More importantly, he was poking the heart. It seemed as if he was molesting the patient in others’ eyes. “Stop that!” Clarence yelled. He rushed up to Alex and pushed him away, scolding loudly. “How inhumane are you? Are you the devil? The poor girl, she had already fallen victim to such a terrible fate. Yet here you are, making things worse, molesting them when they’re helpless?! What kind of monster are you? Where’s your sense of humanity?” He intentionally raised his voice to make it as loud as possible. Clarence wanted to let everyone know that Alex was a shameless and perverted liar. He knew that everyone would side with him, and that would shine Alex in a bad light. With Clarence’s words, many in the ward started doubting Alex as well, since his methods were far too unorthodox for any average person to comprehend. He wasn’t acupuncturing nor massaging them, and it did seem as if he was just fooling around. ‘This is clearly molestation!’ However, none of them knew that Alex was actually using the Seven Needles of Exorcism to remove the deadly Chi within them. They would only be saved once this Chi was removed completely. “I don’t have to explain anything to you, move!” Alex said coldly. He viewed Clarence as nothing more but a mere insignificant ant. He didn’t mind crushing him after being bitten twice. Wallace followed suit as well. “Hey brat, are you trying to get fired? He told you to move! What is it that you don’t understand?” A shocked Clarence replied, “Mr. Yoke, have you become an old fool? Can you not tell that he’s molesting them? What kind of medic does this? Can a few pokes save lives? This is literally molestation. We should arrest this disgusting monster!” “Bullsh*t! You have no idea what you’re talking about!” Wallace had no idea what Alex was doing too, but he had seen Alex use such methods on Keith. It looked exactly the same, and they were actually gentle and straightforward.
