After such a thought, she felt slightly embarrassed. Alex was a married man after all.
Alex chuckled. âOh donât joke with me, Mr. Yoke. Iâm married.â
Wallace replied, âSo what if youâre married?
You can always get a divorce, right? And if
you canât, you can change your nationality to become Arabian. I have connections to
help with thatâ
Both Alex and Cheryl fell silent. âThis old man is such a jester.â
Within just a few moments, they arrived at the patientsâ ward.
Since all of these patients were filed as special cases, they were all placed together in
one ward.
This was more convenient for the medics responsible for their checkups.
The first patient that they saw was a petite young girl. Next to her was her mother. Her
motherâs eyes were red, she seemed to be on the edge of a mental breakdown.
Who
wouldnât treasure their children? Having her daughter fall victim to such disaster, she felt
as if the world was collapsing in front of her eyes.
âHer name is Rose Carson, a student from TBU of California.
Sheâs the study
commissar of her class, the earliest patient to be sent to our hospital. Her condition is
worse than the othersâ¦â Cheryl introduced under her breath.
Upon hearing Cherylâs explanation, the mother started crying uncontrollably.
âDoctor, my daughter, how is she? Would she end up like the first two girlsâ¦â
Before she could finish her sentence, Roseâs body started trembling.
Her eyes were
rolled back, and she started frothing at the mouth.
âAhh! Doctor! Doctor! Help, please help her!â
Cheryl immediately checked on the patientâs condition. Just then, the line on the monitor
beeped into a straight line.
Everything happened so fast.
Wallace couldnât do anything to help the patient as well.
Alex, on the other hand, furrowed his eyebrows. He saw the girlâs soul leaving her body,
it was very weak.
He immediately took action.
With just one hand, he grabbed onto the girlâs soul and tried forcing it back into her
body.
âSoul shift!â
Just then, Alex could tell that the girlâs Yin was completely drained out, her body was on
the verge of collapsing. Hence, why her soul came out of her body as her body could no
longer hold it in.
He bit down on his finger and placed a drop of blood in between the girlâs eyebrows.
The girlâs mother couldnât believe what she was witnessing.
âThis⦠What on earth is this?!â
âWho are you? Why are you rubbing your blood on my daughterâs forehead? Isnât that
dirty?â The mother yelled as she motioned to wipe the blood off.
Wallace immediately stopped her.
âDonât wipe it off, this is to save your daughter.â
He turned to Alex with a shocked expression. âSir, is this the mythical Blood Lock in the
Witch Doctor Series?â
Alex raised his eyebrows at Wallace, âThatâs unexpected, you know the Blood Lock too.
Looks like youâve done your research!â
Wallace was overjoyed, as if he found treasure.
Cheryl, on the other hand, was puzzled. âWhatâs a Blood Lock?â
Alexâs hands hadnât stopped moving the entire time. He pressed his palm onto the girlâs
chest, using his electrifying Chi straight to her heart and yelled. âRise!â
There were quite a number of people in the ward as well.
They had been staring at Alex
intently, empathizing with the girl.
They were either victims themselves or the family of said victims. Up till now, they had
witnessed two deaths and just couldnât face yet another one.
âDid another person die?â
âOh god, what would her mother do now? Which bastard did such a horrible thing to
them? I really wish I could skin them alive and drain them of blood!â
Someone couldnât bear it and started crying out loud.
Suddenly, Roseâs heart monitor started beeping. What was originally a straight line,
regained activity.
