Wham!
Madame Claire Assex slapped Alex directly on his face.
At that moment, some ghastly energy remained in his hand. He was still drawing the source out from
Madame Claireâs organs. This was a very important step, and not a single mistake was allowed.
As a result of Madame Claire suddenly slapping him, his efforts very nearly went to waste. Alex forced
himself to bear the slap. Only then did he manage to complete the final step.
Meanwhile, Madame Claire hurriedly pulled down her dress to cover her body. âAlex, you b*stard! How
could you do that to me? I used to be your mother-in-law!â she yelled.
Alex calmly pulled his hands away. After that, he slapped Madame Claire in kind.
Madame Claire flipped around on the bed. Half her face had gone red.
Alex pursed his lips. âI only rescued you because you used to be my mother-in-law. Otherwise, do you
think youâd have regained consciousness?â
Madame Claire held her face.
Memories from when before she passed out came gushing back. Only then did Madame Claire start
recalling how two men showed up in front of her house with a casket. Not only that, but one of them
even attacked her until she threw up blood.
âWhere am I? Where are those two weirdos with the coffin?â Madame Claire asked.
âTheyâre dead,â Alex said.
âHuh?â
âTheyâre not human,â Alex added.
âWhat? If theyâre not human, what are they?â Madame Claire asked.
Alex couldnât be bothered to explain to her. âBeatrice is right outside. Ask her to explain it to you!â
With that, Alex used his observational Chi to examine Madame Claire.
Right then, he suddenly felt that something was amiss.
âEh?â Alex suddenly held her face with his hands.
Madame Claireâs body froze. Her entire face went red. She thought Alex was going to kiss her
forcefully. That would be like being struck by lightning!
âAlex⦠Alex Rockefeller, Iâm already forty-six⦠If you want a woman, you can get back together with
my daughter! I, Iâ¦â Madame Claire trailed off.
âYour mind is sick!â Alex let go of her and said suddenly.
Madame Claire had a quick temper, and she immediately became furious. âYouâre the one with a sick
mind! What do you actually want to do to me? If you really want it, that wonât be a problem. Just give
me ten billion dollars!â
Alex shook his head, speechless. âMadame Claire, canât you at least have a little dignity? Will you eat
dog poop if someone asked you just because they offered you ten billion dollars? Is money that
important to you? Even if you donât care about your reputation, your two daughters still care about
theirs! Forget it. Thereâs no point talking to you about this. Iâm telling you now. Your mind really is sick
Thereâs an angioma in your brain. Itâs blocking your brain nerves. This is also one of the major reasons
why youâre paranoid⦠Ahh, I remember now. Beatrice mentioned that your head had been injured
previouslyâ¦â
After saying that, Alex shouted at the door. âCome in!â
The two ladies outside the door had heard the commotion inside long ago. In fact, they even heard two
loud and clear slaps.
However, Alex had told them to wait outside. Thatâs why the two of them didnât barge in.
Once the two ladies entered, Alex directly pointed at Madame Claireâs head. âThereâs a small angioma
in her brain. I suspect that it developed years ago when her head hit a table corner. Back then, she
suffered from an intracranial hemorrhage, but it wasnât serious. After that, her body automatically
absorbed the blood, but it couldnât heal the blood vessel completely. Thatâs why this angioma was left
behind! Fortunately, this blood vessel isnât the main cerebrovascular vein. Otherwise, she wouldâve
been hospitalized long ago, â Alex said.
Lady Beatrice was shocked. âIs she in danger?â she asked.
âAlthough her life isnât in danger, it could affect the way she thinks. It might also cause paranoia. Look,
itâs just like how she is now,â Alex said.
