The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 540

“Trying to run? Too late!” In a swift move, Alex Rockefeller appeared in front of Granny Blackwood. This darned old woman wasn’t a martial artist at all. Her movements were limited, unlike Alex. The next moment, Alex tapped Granny Blackwood’s chest and cut off a certain nerve connection in her body. She soon fell to the ground and became unconscious. Alex still couldn’t kill this old woman at that moment because he had yet to cure Madame Claire Assex and Lady Beatrice Assex of their parasitic disease. If he killed Granny Blackwood now, it might trigger the parasitic worms in their bodies. Alex placed the two women on the sofa. The old woman, on the other hand, had all her limbs tied up. In fact, Alex sealed her pressure points before tossing her aside. Just as Alex was about to enter the basement to create medicine for the parasitic disease, he received a call on his phone. When he looked at the screen, he saw that the call was from Cheryl Coney. Alex hesitated for a few seconds. In the end, he still picked up. “What’s the matter, Cheryl?” “Alex, I’m in the hospital. I sawyour wife. She threw up blood and passed out. The emergency unit has tried many methods, but none of those could resuscitate her. Her situation seems a little complicated. Hurry up, come and check on her!” Cheryl said in panicked voice. When Alex heard this, he frowned. D*mn it. He was too careless. Not only were Madame Claire and Lady Beatrice affected, but Granny Blackwood even came after him herself. There was no reason Lady Dorothy would be spared. “Don’t touch her. I’ll be right over. She’s been inflicted with a parasitic disease,” Alex said. After hanging up, Alex immediately left home and headed to First City Hospital. Half an hour later, Alex saw Lady Dorothy. Indeed, she was also inflicted with a parasitic disease. “Is it really a parasitic disease?” Cheryl asked. Alex nodded. “Yes, there’s no mistake about it. I’m taking her with me. She won’t be cured here in the hospital. I’ll find a way when I get back,” he said. Alex picked Lady Dorothy up and wanted to leave. To his surprise, a doctor stepped forward and stopped him. “You can’t leave. What’s wrong with you? The patient is in critical condition. How could you bring her home now? Don’t you want her to receive treatment? What kind of a husband are you?” Alex looked at the doctor. “Can you find out what’s the cause?” “…” The doctor remained silent. “If you can’t even find out what’s the cause, how can I count on you to save her?” Alex asked. The doctor had nothing to say. Alex picked up Lady Dorothy and turned around to leave. Cheryl ran after him. “Alex, do you need my help?” Alex gave it a thought. With three women inflicted by parasitic diseases at the same time, he did indeed need help. “Can you leave the hospital?” “That won’t be a problem,” Cheryl said. Cheryl truly wanted to help him. Apart from that, it was also her first time encountering parasitic diseases. She wanted to find out more about it by tagging along with Alex. “Alright. Come with me,” Alex said. *** After returning to Maple Villa, Alex wasted no time. He entered the basement right away. Last time, when he cured Leanna Graves from her parasitic disease, he used blood from Priscilla Paytas’ Kyuhelios Pulse as a medicinal primer. However, two days ago, Keith Yowell delivered some herbs over that included a stalk of flaming lotus reishi. This was a spiritual herb, and it was also a worldly treasure. Its original attribute was evenstronger than Priscilla Paytas’ blood. That was because Priscilla Paytas’ blood was not yet in its activated form. However, this flaming lotus reishi was the real deal. On top of that, Alex still possessed quite a lot of Priscilla Paytas’ blood. Half an hour later, Alex finished creating the medicine. After feeding the three ladies from the Assex family with the medicine, all parasitic worms inside their bodies started escaping on their own. It was a much easier process than when Alex cured Leanna Graves of her parasitic disease last time. That was because Leanne Graves’ parasitic worms had lived in her body far a very long time. Meanwhile, the parasitic worms had only just entered their bodies this time. Soon, the women from the Assex family regained consciousness. Lady Dorothy was the first to open her eyes. As soon as she did so, she saw Cheryl staring at her. Lady Dorothy immediately sat up with a knee-jerk reaction. “Why is it you? Why are you here?” Lady Dorothy’s facial expression was filled with hostility. Alex’s eyes flashed. “Honey, Dr. Coney saved you,” he quickly said. Cheryl’s beautiful eyes went wide, and she had an odd expression on her face.
