บททั้งหมดของ The Pinnacle of Life: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Alex thought, ‘If you knew that I was the boss of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, you wouldn’t have said that.’ However, now wasn’t the time to reveal that yet. Dorothy added, “I hope you take some time to think about what you even want to do in the future. You’re a full grown man and yet you’re doing nothing with your life! I know what you’re going to say, that you need to take care of your mom. But you can always hire a caretaker, can’t you? Just get a job, or you can work in my company.”Alex was put in a difficult spot, as he didn’t want to leave his mother to caretakers.However, under Dorothy’s glare, he nodded. “Okay, I’ll think about it.”The next morning, Alex gave a ride to Dorothy to the airport in her car.She met up with a few colleagues there as they were going to attend an exhibition in Block City.Alex then drove back home.On the way home, he received a call. It was from Cheryl. “Alex, you need to come to the hospital now. It’s about your mother.”Alex gasped,

Holy sh*t!Alex explored his mind—it literally felt like a book, the pages flipping on its own as the vast amount of information rearranged and presented themselves: Traditional medicine, witch doctors, voodoo, charms, even medicinal martial arts. Everything came to him just a blink of an eye, engulfing his thoughts.Alex’s body relaxed as he felt the warm energy course through his body.“Alex, Alex?” Cheryl’s voice rang in Alex’s ears, snapping him back into reality.He blinked. “Huh? Dr. Coney, where am I? Where’s Mom?” Cheryl replied, “Alex, you just fainted…” Just then, a nurse rushed over. “Dr. Coney, the patient Brittany Rockefeller has stopped breathing…”The lot rushed towards Brittany’s ward.Alex saw his mother lying still in the bed, her face as pale as a sheet and the ECG in a straight line. A doctor approached them, shaking her head.“Mom! Oh Mom...” Alex cried loudly as he rushed to Brittany’s bedside.However, a bundle of information flashed through his mind:

Ten years later, Rockefeller Group had a capital of 300 billion, becoming a famous business in California.It was a fact that the Rockefellers’s achievements were because of William and Brittany’s hard work. However...The Rockefellers ended up kicking the both of them out of the family and John took over their business. Spark even wanted to have Alex’s wife.If this were really John’s scheme, it would be terrifying.Alex clenched his fists tightly. “Don’t worry, Mom. If Dad really died in vain because of Uncle’s scheme, I’ll make sure he pays for it with the worst punishments possible.”Alex decided to stay for the night in the hospital to accompany his mom instead of going back to the Assex’s residence. He knew that if he had gone home, he would end up in a terrible fate.Brittany had just woken up from her coma so her body was still fairly weak. She fell asleep in just a few moments.Alex, on the other hand, couldn’t calm down at all.The ring that his father had left him wa

“Mom!” Alex came to the hospital and visited his mom again. She was awake at the time. His anger towards the Assexes dissolved as soon as he saw her.Examining Brittany with his knowledge of the Ultimate Book of Medicine, he noticed that she was doing a lot better than the day before. Relieved, Alex smiled widely and said, “I bought this porridge from a stall nearby. The doctor said that you could only eat soft foods as of now. I’ll feed you, alright?”Brittany stared at him lovingly, “Alex, I heard that you came to take care of me every day, you’re even more professional than the nurses now. I’m sorry that I’ve been such a burden on you.”Alex could feel his chest tightening. His mother was the absolute sweetest. His mother-in-law, Claire, however, only treated him as a slave.He fed the porridge slowly to Brittany, then gave all four of her limbs a massage.Brittany had been in a coma for more than six months, so her muscles had been slowly wasting away.However, Alex’s massagi

“Huh, what happened?”“A little girl! Her face is pale and bluish! She’s not breathing!”“This is terrifying… would Dr. Coney be able to save her?”The crowd started discussing among themselves, hoping for the best.Just then, a middle-aged man carried a five-year-old-girl into the room. He was crying hysterically, with panic written all over his face. With a loud thud, he knelt down.Cheryl immediately got into action. She briefly checked the little girl’s vitals.As she checked, her expression darkened. The little girl wasn’t breathing and had no pulse.Cheryl immediately started doing CPR, asking the middle-aged man as to what had happened.The man cried, “I don’t know, I… I was just paying at the counter. Then, my little girl just fainted behind me. She just fell unconscious.”James approached the little girl as well, he said, “Examine her throat.”Cheryl did as she was told, yet she didn’t find anything blocking the airway.James smacked the little girl’s back a few tim
