âHow is she? Howâs Waltz? Can you save her?â Brittany asked, still panicking.
This snapped Alex back to reality.
He rushed up and placed his hand on her chest, inserting a large amount of the special Chi that he
formed from the Ultimate Book of Medicine. His highest priority was to prevent Waltzâs heart from
failing.
âWhy was she poisoned?
What poison was it?â Alex asked as he continued to prolong Waltzâs life.
Brittany replied, âThree assassins ambushed us just a while ago. One of them scraped Waltzâs
shoulder
with a poisoned dagger.â
Upon listening to this, Alexâs blood boiled, a ball of hellfire kept growing within his chest.
Those assassins will have to pay for what they did, along with the mastermind behind this regardless of
Waltzâs fate.
Holly rushed out to bring the dagger to Alex.
âBrother, this was the poisoned dagger!â
Alex took a look at it and sniffed it.
âThis is a mixture of various snake poisons.â His expression turned as cold as ice.
âThis assassin really is evil!â
If it werenât for Holly, the other three would most definitely end up in the same fate.
It was extremely horrible.
Holly said, âThe guy who I stabbed this with had died.â
Alex suggested. âYou guys should get out of the room. I have to focus on saving Waltz now. If anyone
shows up, do not let them interrupt me.â
He handed his phone to Brittany as well.
Before leaving, they noticed that Waltzâs face was as white as a sheet. She even opened her mouth
and
vomited a mouthful of black blood.
Everyone couldnât help but worry about her.
Upon seeing this, Alex could feel his chest tightening.
He could tell that Waltzâs soul was destabilizing, as
if it was about to leave her body any minute. This indicates that her body was so damaged that it didnât
have the energy to hold onto her soul any longer.
She was two steps from hell.
Alex bit down on his finger and immediately used Blood Lock to secure her soul temporarily.
âLetâs get out, close the door! â
Brittany dragged Maya and Holly out of the room. Before closing the
door shut, she couldnât help but take another glance at Alex and Waltz worriedly.
Her expression turned cold, eyes filled with murderous intent. The Steel Lady was absolutely furious.
She would not ever tolerate such a thing. She would make the mastermind behind this pay for what
they
did, no matter who they were.
âAlex!â Waltz opened her eyes gently, slowly regaining consciousness.
She was extremely weak, it was hard for her to even open her mouth.
âWaltz, donât talk, save your energy.â Alex said.
âNoâ¦â She shook her head gently and let out a few coughs. âI know I wonât be able to make it⦠I⦠Iâm
scared that I wonât⦠Have the chance to say this to you⦠If I donât say it nowâ¦â
Alex was heartbroken. He pressed his lips together tightly in sorrow.
He wasnât sure if he could save her.
He hadnât mastered much from the Ultimate Book of Medicine so he didnât know what to do to cure
heart failure from poisoning.
âAlex, from⦠From the first day we met⦠When you smacked my behind, I⦠Iâve fallen deeply in love
with you. Iâve always tried teasing you, hoping to sleep with you. But⦠I guess I donât have the chance
to
anymoreâ¦â
Alex let out a chuckle upon hearing what she said, yet tears started streaming down his cheeks.
âDonât cry Alex, Iâll⦠Sleep with you in my next life.â She said as she closed her eyes gently.
âNo! No, no, no! Waltz! Donât go! Open your eyes, please! You donât have to wait till your next life! You
can do it this life! Waltz, Waltzâ¦â Alex screamed, his heart was aching badly.
Maya, who was standing at the door, covered her mouth with her hands, tears trickling down her
cheeks.
Brittany, who was leaning against the wall, clenched her fists tightly. She didnât even notice that her
nails had pierced through her palms.
Alex grabbed onto his hair as he watched Waltz fall into a never-ending slumber. Her breathing was
becoming weaker by the second. His face was soon drenched in tears.
âAncestor! What use is your Ultimate Book of Medicine when I canât even save this one person! What
do
I even need you for?â
He slapped his head multiple times, as if this was the only way he could relieve his pain.
Suddenly, something clicked inside his head. He found a way to save her in the Ultimate Book of
Medicine!
