The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 576

Even his heartbeat increased. A strong urge surfaced in Alex’s mind and kept pushing him to turn his head around right now to see what she was doing! “I’m done!” Just as Alex was resisting the conflicts in his mind, Hailey spoke just in time to interrupt Alex’s wild imagination. He turned around and saw the pantyhose was crumpled like a ball and rolled all the way down to her calves. She could not pull them down further by herself due to her injuries. Alex had to help and take it off in the end. After taking off the pantyhose, the condition of her legs was now clear for Alex to see. Both ankles had different degrees of swelling. The right foot was in a much serious condition where the soft tissues were badly torn. Fortunately, the bones were intact. Under such circumstances, the treatment was not too difficult. However, Alex’s attention was attracted by her toenail polish with a floral motif for several seconds. “I shall begin your treatment now!” “Sure!” Then, Alex forcefully kept his impulses in check and grabbed her injured feet. He instantly applied his Chi with healing properties to heal her injuries. Hailey could clearly feel a warm surge of energy flowing from Alex’s fingers onto her feet. It felt extremely good. “Ohh…” A moan instinctively escaped her mouth. She looked at Alex awkwardly and said, “Little Brother, why did you come to look for our Charles?” She made sure to use the word “our”. It was done to remind both him and herself that she was a married woman. At this moment, Alex managed to calm himself down and focused on his role as a doctor to relieve the pain of his patient. He replied, “I was wondering if Charles is interested in an upcoming construction project. If he is on board, I don’t have to look for another construction company.” Surprised, Hailey asked, “What project is it? Are you going to build houses?” Such a matter was a piece of cake for Charles. Alex nodded. “Yes, indeed.” “Are you uncomfortable staying at Maple Villa? Are you going to build your house outside?” asked Hailey. “That is not the case. What I want to build is Michigan’s tallest building, the Sky Tower.” “…” Hailey was surprised. She heard Charles mentioning the project of the Sky Tower before. It was a huge venture in Michigan. He wanted to get involved in it. Unfortunately, it seemed the construction companies in Michigan were also eyeing the project. Even if Charles wanted to join the project, it was extremely hard for a foreign construction company like his. It was almost impossible so he gave up instead. “Done!” Alex let go of her tiny feet and clapped his hands. Hailey’s eyes flitted around and she lightly bit her lips. She quickly calmed herself and asked, “It doesn’t hurt anymore, can I walk already?” “You are good to go,” Alex replied. Hailey immediately placed her feet on the floor. After sensing her feet on the ground, she then put on her high heels and walked a few steps before exclaiming in delight, “You are right, they are now completely healed! Your hands are amazing, Little Brother. You should buy insurance that costs a few hundred million dollars for them!” Suddenly, the office’s door was opened. Charles Carter entered briskly. He saw Alex sitting on the couch, who was three meters away from his standing wife. “Insurance of a few hundred million dollars? What are you talking about?” They were both startled. Fortunately, the treatment had ended early. Otherwise, Charles would definitely overthink if he saw his wife’s legs in other men’s hands, even though she was just receiving the treatment for her injuries. Alex secretly lamented the fact that the office’s soundproofing was done impeccably well. He actually did not hear Charles’s footsteps in advance. Never did he realize that it had nothing to do with the room’s soundproofing. It was all on him, who had eyes fixated on Hailey’s legs all the time and forgot to pay attention to his surroundings. He might not hear anything even if the door was left open. “I was just marvelling at how wonderful Alex’s medical skills are, Charles! He could easily beat any specialists in the prestigious hospitals! Remember the vice president of Hong Kong’s Arles Cosmetics? She had seen countless doctors but was healed in the end by our Alex! His healing hands are worthy to be insured for a few hundred million dollars!” “Hahaha, you are right, my wife! Alex’s medical expertise is as good as any of the celebrated physicians in our country.” He turned around to set his suitcase down. Alex suddenly saw the pantyhose that Hailey just removed lying around on the couch. Startled, he quickly grabbed them and shoved them into his pocket. Hailey noticed his maneuver and eyed Charles nervously. Her heart raced wildly as if it were going to jump out of her chest.
