Half a minute later, Beatrice Assex ran out to have a look. Only then did she realize that something was
amiss.
She immediately ran downstairs with her feet bare. âMom? Mom⦠Is this really happening? Mom,
wake up. Donât scare me!â
Beatriceâs immediate reaction was to call Alex Rockefeller on the phone. âAlex, Alex, something terrible
has happened. My mother fainted! Can you come over to check on her?â
Right then, Alex had just finished eating. Throughout the entire meal, Brittany Rockefeller hadnât come
downstairs. This put Alex in a very poor mood.
When he heard Beatriceâs plea, he started to frown. âWhat happened to her now?â
âI⦠I donât know either. I just pushed her a little, and she passed out,â Beatrice said.
âWhereâs your sister?â Alex asked.
âI⦠I donât know either,â she said.
After hanging up the phone, Alex gave Dorothy Assex a call. He discovered that her phone had been
turned off again.
âWhat the hell?
âHer phone is always turned off!â
Helplessly, Alex had to drive over in a rush.

By the time Alex arrived at Assex Villa, Beatrice was already waiting anxiously by the door. When she
saw Alex, she immediately pulled him along while they walked inside. âHurry up. My mother is lying
inside there. She didnât move at all. Her face looks very pale too, and her heartbeat seems to have
weakened. Could something bad have happened to her?â
Alex quickly ran over. When he saw Claire, he started frowning.
âThis situation is somewhat dire. The angioma in your motherâs brain had burst,â Alex looked at
Beatrice and said.
âHuh?â As soon as Beatrice heard this, she burst into tears. âItâs all my fault! I pushed her. Alex, do
something to save my mother. Iâll do whatever you ask me to,â she said frantically.
âAlright! Deal!â
At this moment, Claire was indeed in a rather dire situation.
With the burst angioma, she now suffered from intracranial hemorrhage. That led to increased
intracranial pres sure. If it wasnât dealt with quickly, it might lead to a case of permanent vegetative
state. Claire might never be able to wake up.
Alex immediately carried Claire in his arms and ran up to the second floor.
He didnât forget to remind Beatrice about what she ought to do. âDo not disturb me until I call for you!â
âOh, okay!â Beatrice replied.
The room Alex ran into was Claireâs room. After entering, Alex closed the door behind him. He quickly
put Claire on the bed.
Alex also took off his shoes and got onto the bed. He sat in front of Claireâs head. Just as he was about
to use his dragon bone needle to drain the blood out of her brain, he suddenly felt something poking at
him under his buttocks. He reached out to grab it.
âHoly sh*t!â Alex was instantly shocked when he saw a round object.
After that, he looked at Claire, who was in front of him. She still looked pretty for her age, and there
was something attractive about her being matured. Alex licked his dry lips before quickly tossing the
personal item away. However, before this, he sneakily moved it close to his nose to sniff at it. After that,
he frantically threw it away. There was a disgusted expression on his
face.
The Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell!
The first needle!

Half an hour later, Alex walked out of the room.
Beatrice was standing by the door while she waited for news. âHow did it go?â she asked.
âSheâs fine now! That aside, your faceâ¦â Alex said.
Unexpectedly, Beatrice jumped into his arms and cried. âThank you, thank you. If it werenât for you, I
really wouldnât know what to do.â
Surprisingly, Dorothy walked in at this moment.
When she saw the two people hugging each other, her gaze instantly turned cold.
