The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 541

Lady Dorothy Assex shook her head. She had a little headache. This feeling was like pulling two all-nighters and drinking three cups of heavily caffeinated coffee. Although she was now very energized, it was too much for her head, and she couldn’t quite take it. After that, memories of what happened before she passed out started to appear in her mind. Lady Dorothy recalled that she had thrown blood and passed out after that. Where was this place? After a while, she recognized that she was at Villa 8! “Honey, what happened to me? ” Lady Dorothy asked. She reached out to Alex Rockefeller, wanting to be hugged by him. Regardless of whether her body was weak or trying to show she was in charge in front of Cheryl Coney, Alex still fulfilled her wish. He walked over and hugged her. “Don’t be afraid. You were inflicted by a kind of poison from Canyonland. Fortunately, Cheryl saved you in time. You are all fine now,” Alex said softly. “We?” Lady Dorothy finally saw that her mother, Madame Claire Assex, and her little sister, Lady Beatrice Assex, were next to her. She could see bloodstains on their clothes too. At that moment, neither of them was conscious. They were lying down halfway on the couch without moving at all. However, on their bare bellies, something black, almost looking like worms, began crawling out of their belly buttons. Lady Beatrice’s case seemed better. The parasitic worms were still very small, and they were barely visible. Most of them were close to getting out. Madame Claire’s case, however, was different. Granny Blackwood had added a little more stuff for her. One parasitic worm could be clearly seen crawling out of her belly. It appeared to be a short earthworm-like creature, probing around with its head, and it was extremely disgusting. Looking at it would send chills down one’s spine. “Ahh!!!” Lady Dorothy shrieked in surprise. At this moment, Alex quickly grabbed a glass container and captured the worm with it. Only then did Madame Claire wake up, startled and frightened. Madame Claire looked down and noticed that her shirt was open. What did that b*stard, Alex, do? She immediately became angry and exerted her most tremendous force, slapping Alex across his face. “B*stard, I’m your mother-in-law. What are you doing to me? You immoral b*stard!” she yelled. Fully focused on catching the parasitic worm, Alex didn’t expect Madame Claire to overreact so suddenly. Most importantly, he didn’t dare move his hand, worried that the worm might fall and drill its way into her body again. If that happened , it would become a lot more difficult to retrieve it since it had already been frightened. Hence, Alex didn’t try to dodge the slap. Madame Claire had slapped him hard across the face. Of course, Madame Claire was very weak right now. Even if she used all her might, her slap felt no different from scratching an itch. “Mom, stop moving around. Alex is catching the worms for you!” Lady Dorothy felt speechless. “What worms? Clearly, he’s sexually harassing me…” After saying this, Madame Claire realized Alex was holding a container. Inside, a disgusting worm flipped and flopped around. “What… What is this? Ahh… What’s this on my stomach? Alex, what did you do to my stomach?” Madame Claire started screaming while flailing her arms, trying to hit the creatures on her stomach. “Don’t move.” Alex felt like he was out of words. He held Madame Claire down. Despite her yelling and screaming due to her fear of Alex forcing himself upon her, Alex proceeded to eliminate the tiny parasitic worms that crawled out from her body. These were all larvae born within a day, hatched from eggs laid by the earthworm-like parasitic worm that had appeared earlier.
