Chloeâs parents were thoroughly satisfied.
Nicholas introduced himself as the second generation of the demolition development in California. He
owns several mansions back home that cost a fortune. And as if that wasnât enough, he also received
performance shares that probably cost millions or even billions in the future.
The chances of finding a son-in-law like this was one in a million. What more could her parents ask for?
Chad heard all this as he knelt next to them. His heart prickled with embarrassment when he
remembered how he had shown off a necklace worth thirty-eight thousand and how he boasted about
having a child for twenty thousand. Oh, how he wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Alex and Douglas finally came back.
Douglas immediately dragged Chad up and left, while Alex stayed behind to celebrate Chloeâs birthday
with her family.
Alex had arrived in a rush so he hadnât prepared any special presents. But after a bit of thought, he
took out a blood energy pill, and smiled. âI didnât really prepare much, so here, have this as your
birthday present!â
***
This was Nicholasâs time to shine.
Alex felt that if he stayed, heâd be trying to usurp the attention so after eating a slice of the cake, he left
with a smile.
Nicholas had been his classmate and friend for many years, so Alex was happy to see that he is now a
part of the Zea family with a successful life. Before he left, he congratulated Nicholas. âChloe is a nice
girl. Cherish her. And when you marry, Iâll give you a great gift.â
After leaving, Alex climbed into Douglasâs car but noticed that Chad was nowhere to be seen. It
appears that Douglas had already told him to scram.
âMr. Rockefeller, are we going to see my daughter now?â Douglas asked him cautiously.
âLetâs go!â
Susan had been at the Michigan State Hospital recently as her health continued to degrade with each
passing day. For almost twenty hours a day, she remained passed out and unresponsive. When she
finally awoke, she remained in a daze with her consciousness blinking in and out.
As Douglas drove on, he explained his daughterâs situation to Alex.
However, he received a call from the hospital before he arrived.
The call said that Susanâs condition was getting worse and her heart was rapidly failing, potentially
stopping at any moment. They urged him to hurry to the hospital immediately.
Hearing this, Douglasâs heart raced with panic and anxiety. He stepped on the gas.
As he sped, he had a few near misses and ran the red light twice, he may not be able to keep his
license after this.
At six thirty in the evening, he finally made it to the emergency room and found two doctors desperately
trying to revive Susan who was already in critical condition.
Alex noticed that she was quite a beautiful woman close to thirty years old.
However, with her face pale white, she was barely breathing. Based on the figures on the monitor,
Susan was already at deathâs door. A young female doctor was giving her CPR furiously, but the
situation seemed futile.
âIâll be taking over now!â Alex spoke up and placed his hands over the doctorâs to stop her.
Looking at Susanâs condition, CPR wouldnât help since her failing condition was due to the effect of the
negative energy inside her.
âWhat?â The doctor snapped back as she looked at him, her fury clear on her face, âWho do you think
you are? Move aside, donât get in my way of saving someone.â
Alex shook his head. âYou canât save her this way.â
The doctor stared at him in confusion, then she lashed out in anger. âGet out of there, who do you think
you are? Do you really think you can bear the responsibility of preventing me from saving a patient?â
Alex nodded lightly. âI can take responsibility!â
Seeing the doctorâs expression as if she wanted to tear him apart, Alex could only beckon to Douglas,
âHey, clear everyone out!â
