Everyone on the call turned towards Sanda with a questioning look on their face not knowing what she was talking about.
Meanwhile, Alex here also was quite anxious, FL leads might be even more unpredictable than a protagonist, He was afraid that Sandra's will to get him for all herself might trigger her halo effect and took the solution out of nowhere.
After all, he can't use logic to judge this species as they too are loved by a world lot, And on top of that in this women-centric world FL might even have more power than they usually do, So his worry was quite valid here.
"Call? Call who? And what for?"
It was Liza who sitting beside her spoke in a suspicious voice like she had an idea of what Sandra wanted to do but needed to confirm it, As it's been not fair if she gave judgement without knowing things.
"I can't say who I am going to call but It was regarding Alex's condition. That person might have a solution for the issue regarding the backlash of dual cultivation physique. There might even be a chance that it will cure his libido and constant urge to get with women."
Sandra without flinching a bit answered Liza, From the moment she heard that Alex had a dual cultivation physique, She started thinking of countermeasures for it.
She did not need to hear the explanation of it as she knew very well what that is and what that thing cost to a person, All she was focused on to "fix" the issue.
First the obvious one was just to take away that physique from Alex but on second guess thinking how painful and even harmful leaving lasting consequences behind not to mention it can also be life threatening to do it, so she rejected it.
The second idea she came up with was to find physiques that are counter to his, Which will nullify each other but again the threat of one being overpowered creates imbalance and destroys his body with a blast, So she had to reject it.
The third one was to find some counter medicine or blockers but that will still harm him as a by-product, So this idea was also rejected by her.
She was running out of ideas but she also did not want to accept the fact that she had to share Alex with any other women at all. She can ignore his past as it's given a reasonable reason for it.
But she can't watch him in someone else's arms or say someone in his arms, Sandra thought that as she with jealousy and anger looked at Xiao Bai sleeping on Alex's lap without any worry or shame.
She could not bear it, She knew she could not blame Alex for it as he already told her everything about him and they had yet to have any proper relationship but she can put all the blame on women who like bees always surround him.
Sandra didn't want any more women around him to grow, She had yet to know about Alia and how to deal with her, She didn't want any trouble popping up, While she was trying to make Alex all for herself.
So she decided to call that person. She knew even if others could not find the solution to it, That person would definitely have it. That's why she wanted to make a call to deal with this issue as soon as possible.
"Are you stupid or do you want to harm Alex? I can forgive your ignorance but if you want to harm him that would not be forgiven by me, So choose your words wisely."
Liza snapped at Sandra confirming it was like she thought, She knew the severity of the situation. If this news got out then even if Belladonna, A living nightmare interferes she can't guarantee she could keep Alex safe.
That's how important dual cultivation physiques that too in man have it for those hidden forces, After all in the modern era there was no man born with it until now.
So there definitely will be commotion about it, Now only that but also Alex's physique grade is not low, Though she could not tell which grade it should be but given that how much power it has it is now low graded at all.
So for Alex's safety, it's best not to let this thing out of this car. Actually an ideal solution will be to just cut grass and roots here, To make sure this thing will not leak out but she knew Alex will not allow it.
That's why these people are still alive, But Liza is still concerned about Sandra as she did not like her for some reason as if she encountered her natural enemy, So she was on guard against her.
As for Grace, she did not care about it because she got to know her, And can tell she will literally do anything for him, Normally she should have been called Simd. It's come to Alex. It seems all logical.
"Are you threatening me? Because trust me you don't want to be on my bad side."
Sandra, hearing the "question" of Liza, also snapped at her and answered back with the same energy.
She hates it when someone thinks so highly of themselves and looks down on her. She is disgusted by people like them, So she makes sure to teach them a lesson.
It's just that she can't be as willful to this doctor lady as she can with anyone, Plus Sandra does agree with Liza that this information should not go outside this car as it's just going to bring lots of trouble, especially with women for Alex.
So she did not want to do too much as at the end of the day they both wanted the same thing the safety of Alex. It's just the way Liza said she did not like it as in her eyes Liza should not have much strength to back up her claim, It's just felt like boosting of Liza for her.
Also, Liza said this in front of Alex, She can't appear weak in front of him, She did not want to lose respect in his eyes for her.
"Ohh, Quite a big word of those but are you able to back those up as a simple clerk? Don't try to swallow something bigger than your mouth."
Liza too understood what was happening here, Both did not want to look weak in front of Alex, Though Liza failed to realise that the Lolita dress she was wearing can make her cute not fierce.
But that's just even more point for her in Alex's mind, As he lovingly looked at her, He didn't know that this unicorn can be this useful, He here was a running gears in his mind trying to think of the ways to prevent Sandra from making a call but Liza successfully do it for him.
Not only that he did not even risk being caught in a lie by FL, So it's not an understatement to say that like her, If she always is this good then he will definitely reward her with something good.
"You-!! That's it, I am making a call-."
"Shut up both of you, It's not all about you, Also Sandra it's best not to call anyone until I consult this with my mother, There are also questions in my mind about why did you know about this stuff but that will be asked later as we reached to hospital, Now get out out the car."
Seeing that if he did not interfere they might go on and on for hours, Alex had to interfere. He said to them in a stern voice as he reminded them that the car has been stopped in the parking lot of the hospital for a few minutes now.
"Alex the"
"Get out of the car, We will discuss it later."
Sandra was taken aback and then realised she was saying stuff that she as a normal clerk should have no way of knowing at all, She panicked and wanted to explain it to him fearing he would misunderstand her.
But Alex did not give her a chance as he with the void of any emotions said to her while not giving any indications of his current mood, Which was enough to calm down Sandra in fear and she decided to keep her mouth shut.
"Hum, You are lucky he stopped me. Let's go I also wanted to check on Ms. Smith's condition."
Liza gloated on Sandra convinced that she had won the argument, Sandra did not reply to her fearing it would anger Alex, So Liza felt she admitted defeat, Which put her in a good mood as she was too ready to get out of the car.
"You wait, Grace and Sandra, You two please step out of the car for a second, I want to talk with my doctor in private."
Alex, seeing Liza wanting to leave the car, stopped her as he asked two women to give them a space.
"Okay, We wait near the elevator."
Grace was the one who spoke while Sandra didn't have the courage to even meet with his eye, So Grace thought it was reasonable he should have some questions that he might feel odd asking in front of them, So he asked for a private space.
So after getting out of the car and closing the door she and Sandra walked towards the elevator while worrying about her mother and Alex.
"What do you want to ask me? I am happy to hel- Mummahh!!!!"
Liza waited for two of them to go away even though the windows of this car were tinted and is semi-soundproof, But just for his privacy she only decided to ask him when they were not in sight.
But as she was talking her eyes shot open as her lips got sealed making her unable to talk.
"Mumm!~ Ahhh~"
Slightly suppressed moans were reverting in the car, As Liza trying to figure out what was happening right now.
She was talking to Alex worried that he would be scared as who is not afraid of death? Even though he will be safe as long as he is having sex but it is still borrowed time.
As a doctor, she knew how to initially deal with it till she could send them to professionals to get proper help to accept and deal with it, So she was ready to have some proper talk with him.
She now also feels guilty that she had blamed him for sleeping around and ignoring her. Poor him could not control himself and for fear of Belladonna hurting her, He did not decide to get close to her.
After all, Belladonna will not care about little flies around him but if someone with the same family standing decided to compete with her for him then she will not sit ideally as it's like slapping her in the face.
So in her eyes, Alex decided to ignore her in good faith, And yet she blamed him and lashed out, Which guilt eating her inside out. That's why she was ready to bear whatever he wanted to say to her.
Even if he is ready to blame her, call her a liar and such for giving him this diagnosis, She was ready for his outbursts as it was his habit she knows, Which she hates and loves the most.
Because he only shows outbursts in front of the people who are close to him, He used to do it when he was little and now she was ready to handle it with determination to make him accept it.
And yet even after all those thoughts, She was not prepared for what was happening right now, Her brain froze, not being able to process what event was unfolding in front of her eyes.
This time the only most prominent thing was the pleasure, The immense pleasure running throughout her whole being and soul. This overwhelming did not help it as it made her brain even more confused.
She is like a pretty doll just letting things happen without any intention of trying to resist it. This feeling is alien to her but she likes it. The warm wet sensation on her lips was flaming an unknown fire in her heart.
Though her brain was frozen, But that didn't stop her instincts as soon her body started to react and become proactive. She unconsciously wrapped her white slender hand around the man in front of her as she pulled him even closer to her.
Her body also moved forward making her two bioweapons stick to his body as her mouth which was being violated by soft slender lips and one naughty dexterous tongue were dominating her.
She did not like this one-sided battle, So she decided to counter it with her own tiny pink one but to utter disbelief she was not able to do anything as that naughty tongue of his started bullying her small one.
It started to warp and coil around hers as if it was trying to knot them together but this entanglement even though still being dominated was loved by her as each interaction of theirs sent a current of pleasure like a wave throughout her body.
She did not know what was happening, Why or even how this was happening but she at this point did not care. Rather she was in no condition to care, Right now she just wanted to drown herself in this vast sea of pleasure in front of her.
Her body felt like it was set on fire, While her nether region was trying to extinguish this burning by trying to use waterworks but it just only made her itchy down there, It did not help with this fire.
But she rather likes to get burned in this fire of ecstasy than to stay in the cold world without experiencing this extent of pleasure.
"*Huff* *Huff*"
But as she was reaching, Just as she was about to try and extinguish this wildfire with the tsunami of hers, That naughty tongue stopped being naughty as it reacted back.
The sudden loss of that wet warm slippery thing nearly broke her heart but then even the soft petal-like lips lost their bondage as they got free from the "trap" of those two warm soft things.
Liza was breathing quickly, Her whole body was flushed in an intoxicating hue of red like am fine wine, The lolita dress of hers showing off the fortune of her body as it was proudly there to be appreciated by him.
Right now this loli with a look of resentment, unwilling and wanting to look at him, Seeing this sight can make anyone guilty of whatever they do to make her look like this, Alex is also one of those people.
"This is your reward for being a good girl, If you keep this up, You might be even rewarded further than this."
Alex's body was bending towards Liza because of his seating position. After he broke their kiss he did not immediately go back as he ran his index finger on her well-carved face admiring the work of art.
Have to say, Even though she is supposed to be Loli and is just there in the plot to appease a few people, she has been paid quite an attention by that dumbass author.
Her golden blond hair looks like a thread of gold put on her head, Then there was her milky white elastic skin that was without any blemishes, Her wide smooth forehead, Which was added to her intelligent beauty module.
Just below that to show off her charm was a twin crescent shaped eyebrow, Her lotus-like eyelid which covered her full moon-like beautiful eyes, her tall slender nose bridge, Her rosy cheeks and then there were those two candy like sweet lips.
Which he was souring a few seconds ago, And he was not exaggerating as those lips were really sweet. He doesn't know the reason. Maybe she had eaten something sweet as she has a sweet tooth or it might be her inherent special trait of being a heroine.
Either the case she tasted so sweet that he was on the verge of forgetting there is that pickle jar Sandra waiting for them to turn this loli finally into a woman in her 40s.
But he had to stop as it's not good for anyone to make FL jealous, It's like a dual-edged sword. Very useful against any other heroine he might be going to have a problem with because of their unique halo.
But if he did not handle it carefully, Her plus point, Her FL is the one which will create the biggest trouble for him, So he had to stop. It's okay to give these "rewards" to her slowly as there is also the threat of Belladonna.
It would be great if this motivated her to be like this for a while. If that's the case then it will be great and he will give her deserved rewards with an open heart.
"That…Th-Thank you?"
Liza's brain finally came online, She has yet to let this thing sink in but she was rather confused about what she did to deserve this reward, She has no idea what she did to make him this happy.
If she knows then doesn't that mean she can receive rewards like this more often, even great it might even go to the next level, So she badly wanted to know about it.
It's just she could not outright ask that to him, Which will make him know whatever she did that made him happy was she done by accident and not trying to be a good girl in his mouth, Which she definitely did not want to happen at all.
"Tonight you will get my promised treat at my dormitory, And if I am in a good mood might even more, If you know what I mean hehe, Let's go don't let them wait too long."
Alex finally pulled back after admiring her beauty for a while as he said it to her, Yes there is indeed an ulterior motive behind this action but which action of his did not have an ulterior motive? But he this time is also going to make sure she too is happy for a while.
She helped him today quite a lot, She single-handedly kept FL at bay, Which is a feat even he is going to have a hard time recreating. So she deserved to be rewarded for her accomplishments.
After he said that he did not wait for her answer, He opened the door and walked out of the then headed straight towards the elevator with sleeping Xiao Bai in his arms.
"Come on Alex, the elevator is here."
Seeing Alex come out of the car and to them, Grace did not ask anything about his conversation with Liza, She just pressed the button and opened the elevator door for them to go to the 3rd floor.
"Sorry, We will not take the elevator, We will take the stairs as they are good for my heart."
Alex did not even spare a glance at the elevator as he quickly walked past it to the stairs. He did not forget about the "thing" he saw in it yesterday, So it will be some time till he is ready to take the elevator.
"Hey wait for me *Huff* Don't go without me."
Grace was confused about Alex's reaction as he hates stairs but before she could ask Liza to get out of the car and come running to them thinking they were going without her.
"We are not taking the elevator, Alex said it's good for the heart to take the stairs."
Grace looked at huffing Liza who was glad she made it in time and was about to enter the elevator.
"Well..Yeah, it's good for the heart to take a stairs for the heart but can't we take the elevator, Alex? Today I have a little problem walking those stairs."
Liza agreed to have Alex take the stairs but after what she had experienced in the car, Her legs are a little wobbly which is not suited for walking on the stairs.
"sorry now because- "
*Bang*
Alex understands what Liza wanted to talk about but he was not able to go into that elevator at all, As he was about to explain it a loud bang was heard from the elevator, Which grabbed Alex's attention.
Alex in fear looked towards the elevator already ready to bolt the second he felt sometimes fishy even though S-Rank was lying in his arms.
He really did not like this feeling of the unknown, He was sure whatever that thing is-
[Ding! Ghost, That is Ghost host.]
Anyways Alex ignored the system like always as he was sure whatever that thing is after him, He had no idea if it is hostile to him or not, So he did not want to deal with it.
He has an SS-rank fire skill which is the weakness of this dweller in the dark but that does not guarantee his safety. That "thing" might be immune to fire, He can't take chances.
"What was that sound? Is everything alright here?"
Liza poked her in the elevator trying to see a d figure out what made that loud sound without any fear, As she is a woman of science even though she knew the supernatural exist in this world. She had yet to encounter it.
So her first thought was that something had fallen in it or some gears might have problems. If that is the case he wanted to see and report it to the management to avoid any accidents.
So she carefully searched the elevator trying to figure out if everything was alright. She even contemplated making a call to management and reporting it just to make sure.
"Didn't elevators often make sounds like this? The one in my apartment complex also made sounds like this one."
Grace was confused seeing her reaction to Liza, For her it's common for elevators to make some noises as the one in her building makes those sounds and she is used to it.
That's why it was weird to her that why Liza was paying this much attention to it as it's not that big of a deal in her eyes, She rather than wasting time here wanting to go to her mother to check on her.
"No they don't, What kinda elevators do you have in your building?"
Liza turned back to look at Grace in confusion and asked, She had never in her life gone into those old elevators, So she didn't know that those exist that's why she was genuinely curious about it.
"Well, It's quite old."
Grace was embarrassed to answer her, Though she never cared about her being born into a poor family but in front of Alex, who definitely has a strong background she subconsciously feels inferior.
Which is why she rather not say it, She should work hard and earn enough to be worthy of him.
"No, what I mean-"
"Enough about the elevator, Xiao bai looks light but she is quite heavy- Ouch What I mean is that it's hard for me to hold this cute girl for much time, So come quickly we should get going.
If you want Liza, You can hop on my back, Anyway it's easy to manage your weight as it is quite concentrated in one or rather two places."
Alex did not want to stay here any longer as his instincts were warning him of the approaching danger, Though he was not sure if that thing is dangerous or not but because he did not know, He will look at it as if it is dangerous.
So he quickly called those women who were arguing for no reason and was ready to leave. It's just as he was saying he did not think of his words and misspoke.
As he did that, Little cat cum tigress did not like it as she showed her dissatisfaction by biting his shoulder lightly. Yes of course she was not really asleep, It was an act as she was just greedy for the warmth of his body.
Alex knows that from the beginning but he let her be, Then he puts his attention to Liza. She said before that it will be hard for her to walk on the stairs, Which is not totally because of her wobbly legs.
He guesses that she is embarrassed because of her wet panties. She was afraid of others finding it out. That's why he purpose her to hop on his back as he knew she would not be going to do it.
Not only because she will not allow being carried by him as a woman but also because doing that will expose her soaked panties. If she outright denies then he will prove his hypothesis.
"N-no no, that's okay. I am feeling quite good now, Let's go I need to check on Ms. Smith."
Liza's face quickly changed upon hearing his words as she rumbled through words and answered him as quickly as possible to deny his offer, Then she quickly walked towards Alex and walked past him in a hurry as if she really was quite concerned about Gloria.
Alex shook his head confirming he was right, But did not say anything to tease her, This ammunition will be used on for later, So he looked at the duo near the elevator and gestured them to follow him as he too started to move towards the 3rd floor.
"*Sigh* Don't be afraid. If you are just honest with him, He might let it go. If he is still angry, Just do what he likes that's usually calm his anger down."
Grace looked at silent Sandra standing beside her, bowing her head down not daring to look at Alex, she felt pity for her and suggested the solution but as Grace did that she was shocked herself.
She questioned herself of why she was giving advice to this woman who might have an ulterior motive behind approaching Alex. She was supposed to put as much distance between them as possible so as not to give this woman any information that might hurt him.
But here she was giadviseder even though it might potentially hurt Alex, This made her angry with herself. She decided to walk away from her as it was not good to be close to her.
"Thank you, Any idea why he likes it?"
Sandra quickly lifted her head and looked at Grace with hope in her eyes. She was fearing that Alex should have misunderstood her, Which she understands as she does look suspicious in his eyes as she knows too much.
She was thinking about how to convince him and prove her innocence without revealing much as it will not be good for him to know too much, So when Grace said there is a way, She was desperate to grab that hope and any cost.
She even thought this Grace was not that bad. She might even let her stay close to Alex, not too close but did not need to push her out of his life.
"Do you have a mother?"
Grace surprised herself as she, who was ready to stay away from Sandra, stopped and asked her a question. She did not know why she did that but she just felt quite pity for her and then there was an urge to help that forced her to do it.
She was not sure how she wasn't able to control her emotions, she is not a slave to her emotions expectation being when it comes to Alex, It was really strange but she still just couldn't look away from Sandra's face and not help her.
So she asked the most important question, Which will decide the difficulty of her appeasing Alex. After all, she experienced it first-hand. She now just prays Sandra should have no mother.
Which on the paper sounds worse, Well even in actuality it is worse but she just can't help it, This woman is too dangerous as she now finds out, That cute simple face of hers can't be taken lightly.
She did not have any problem accepting new members in this harem but given that new members are not a threat, Which Sandra obviously is, There is a strong feeling in her heart that she did not like other women around Alex.
Though there was no solid proof but it was a strong gut feeling of hers and the way she was somehow able to make her this way, Grace was afraid that if she could convince Alex then he would not be with her anymore.
So for once, she wanted something selfish, She just hopes as this being her first selfish wish will be fulfilled.
"Mother? I have it but we don't have a good relationship with each other. Why did you ask?"
Sandra was not sure what turmoil caused in Grace's heart, She was just taken aback by her question but still, because of hope, She looked at her and answered.
If there is anything she can do to get his forgiveness or just understanding, She is ready to do it.
"Ohh, I suggest you improve your relationship with her. Then come to me to get your answer. For now, I have to go and see my mother."
Grace was disappointed at first hearing her answer but as she heard later she was quite glad. It's bad to be happy about someone else's misery but this was a rare instance where it's okay for her.
So Grace with a smug smile walked towards the stairs as she was also concerned about her mother.
Sandra left her confused but seeing Grace walking away, She decided to do what she said and try to fix her relationship with her mother. After that, she too followed behind her.
"Nooooo!~"
When everyone left there was a loud howl like a wild beast roaring in agony but no one was present there to hear it.
*Shiver*
Alex was walking on the stairs and suddenly shivered out of nowhere. His body felt cold and he broke out in cold sweat. He slowly makes sure others do not find out about his abnormality turned towards the elevator direction.
'What was that?'
He could not help but say that to himself, This feeling came out of nowhere making him feel cold all over his body, This is a strange phenomenon and definitely a supernatural one.
Before he could ignore it as body sometimes does that shit but he is not normal nor people around him are, So he was sure there was something amiss going on.
The first suspect of his is definitely two plagues walking in this city, A rare specimen named Protagonist but thinking how he handles both of them they should not be in a condition to do anything.
So another one will definitely will his dear financé Belladonna, She might be pulling strings in the dark as this is all just game to her, There is a high chance she was doing this to spice up things.
But Alex did not; it might be the case as though it seems logical for her to do this. She is the kind of person who would rather like to do it personally and watch as her prayer struggles in the net she weaved than to be standing far and shooting her shots.
That's why he was so nervous about that "thing" dwelling in the elevator, He was sure that thing was targeting him. There was no proof of it but his instincts were yelling at if that was the case.
"You okay?"
A soft sleepish voice came from his arms making him halt his thoughts. He looked at his little cat still pretending to be asleep even though she asked him a question.
He shook his head and ignored it as if he fell for her "trick", she might have had a sense of his worry and nervousness, So she became alert and asked him, which is quite big of a deal considering how much she loves to stay in his arms.
She risked all that fearing he might be in trouble, Which is a way more maturity one expects from 1 day old, So he just patted her head with his hand close to her head.
"I am okay, It's just futile worry."
Alex said as he sped up his pace, Well it was time to meet that Milf he was eager to meet for quite some time. After all, Gloria was supposed to be his first milf but then came Helen and then Isabella out of nowhere and he did not pay much attention to her.
And now that he has a chance he wanted to establish and finalise the connection with her, Gloria is also not a simple woman like every other heroine, She has her own secrets, Few of them not even revealed in the plot till the end.
It was either because the author wanted to keep that sense of mystery around her for the sequel or he just forgot about it. He believes it's the latter as that stupid author not only did not create a sequel but most of the time forgot even her name.
So Alex is really curious to see women ignored and forgotten by authors just like Helen.
"Alex!! Are you sure you want to go there? Isn't there is that crazy- Mumm!!"
"You mean beautiful mature hot women, Grace?"
As Alex was about to enter through the door of the 3rd-floor entrance, Grace came running towards him but surprisingly she was not huffing at all as if that run on stairs was nothing to her.
After she came close to him, she grabbed his hand off his which was about to open the door and asked in a very concerned voice, She was worried for him and their future.
Before when they were here, Alex was nearly abducted and forcefully married by that old crazy woman on this floor VIP ward. She was afraid it might happen again.
Last time they were able to run off because they became lucky and that women did not pay much attention to them, but that is not always the case. What if she succeeds this time? Didn't that mean she had to give up on Alex?
She would rather die than to accept that reality, So she wanted him to stop here and not enter the ward being completely ignorant about the fact that the moment he stepped into the hospital "that" woman put them in her surveillance.
She did not know that but Alex did, So when she was about to call the one of the 7 most powerful women in the country crazy, He knew how thin ice she was walking on.
He quickly reacted and blocked her mouth with his other hand to prevent her from saying something she couldn't take back, As for Xiao Bai in his arms he was holding?
Well, She was still there like a koala attached to his body without any support from him, She just hung herself to his neck while her body was sticking as close to him as possible.
"Grace, I expected stupid like this from someone like her not you, You've seen how powerful she is right?"
Alex after saving a day, Got close to Grace and whispered to her. She while speaking did not forget to look at Liza who through a struggle of hiding her panties came behind them.
At first, she ran ahead thinking if she reached there first no one would get a chance to come behind her and see her embarrassing condition but she quickly found out she was not as agile as she thought and others quickly caught up to her.
So she had to stop and let others pass her and come behind them, though Sandra was still slow so she was not the last person to come here.
"Hey, what do you mean by that? I have 4 PhD and you know that, I come nowhere to the word stupid."
As soon as Liza reached the 3rd floor, She heard Alex's word emphasising "her" in his words looking at her, So she was clearly offended.
She is a smart woman who had 4 PhDs, On average having 2 is quite a rare and exceptional feat and yet knowing all that Alex still called stupid forced her to complain about it.
"I know you have a high IQ but your EQ is questionable, I even suspect you might trade it for your IQ."
Alex did not back down, Yes so what if she has 4 PhDs? She is still the stupidest one in this group EQ wise and in the real world, EQ matters not IQ.
Enough EQ gives you the power to control over other people and with enough of it can control the world, While with enough IQ one can do the same but if there is not enough, one will be nothing but an annoyance to the average person.
"Hey, I- "
"And because of it I trust and like you unicorn, Now let's go we have to see what's wrong with Aunty."
Liza wanted to argue but as she heard Alex's words, All that argument was gone rather she was glad she was stupid in his eyes. This is the scary thing about obsession, Other person has too much power over it to influence one's emotions.
"I understand Alex, I am sorry."
Grace ignores Liza and the comment of Alex for her. She focused on the key fact and understood what big mistake she was about to make. She did not know how powerful Helen is but she knew that she was quite strong.
As she with her own eyes saw the condition of that lunatic pervert man that was bothering her before, Plus she also saw that Alex was being wary of her before, So that woman was definitely not wise to offend.
She knows this before Alex reminds her it's just the fact that women try to take Alex away from her that made her hate Helen too much, So much that the fear and caution she should normally have was ignored by her.
She just did not want that woman anywhere near Alex, Yes she knew she couldn't do this, Not only Madam Miller has a strong background but also not it appears she has quite the strength of herself.
It's just when does the heart listen to logic? All she knows is that women are trying to take Alex away from her, So resists her without thinking about the consequences.
But now that Alex reminded her, She understands that her irrational action will not only be going to affect her but also him, Which helped her realise her mistake and she apologises.
"It's nothing, Just make sure not to repeat it, Now for sure let's go, Aunty, After all, there is still an unfinished deal of yours Grace."
Alex looked at Grace with a teasing smile as he said it, Liza was standing there not understanding what kinda deal he was talking about but her face of Grace turned red in embarrassment, She could only nod to give him confirmation of it.
"Code Blue in ward 3-B ICU, Call the doctor fast."
Alex wanted to tease her more but then these words fell on his ears making him quickly dash towards ward 3-B ICU, A new separate ward of Gloria.
Others too did not waste a second and just quickly ran towards the ward after him.
"How did this happen?"
Alex was rushing towards the ICU ward as he was thinking to himself. He was very confused and taken aback by the words he heard. In his mind, it was impossible to happen.
After all, How can Gloria have a code blue? Code blue is only used for the patient when they need urgent medical attention or they either have cardiac arrest aka heart attack or it's completely stopped.
This is very strange as in common words heart-stopping means the death of an individual, Which is why he could not understand how someone like Gloria who has a heroine status.
He could have accepted if there were protagonists present near her as it's more than likely it would happen because of the triggering of the protagonist's halo but knew it was impossible.
He himself took care of Jake personally, So he knew there was no way he could recover this quickly at all. Even his survival from the backlash of that artifact is nothing less of a miracle.
So only one protagonist was remaining, Nathan but even he should be in no condition to move, After he too had to deal with S-rank and on top of that he should have used the forbidden technique because of course, he will.
The protagonist is never able to take that level of disrespect even if in front of them is the current world's strongest-ranked powerhouse, They are likely to jump head-first into trouble.
'System, How much RP do I need to give to get one holy blessing use?'
As he got closer to the ward, He asked the system in his mind, He thought has the best doctor one can ask for, There are also two top-ranked doctors in this hospital including him.
But he still did not want to take any chance, It's more than likely world will try to fix the messed up worldline after failing to solve it using Jake as a bait.
"Give me a report on what medicines she was given and their doses, Also do this test as soon as possible, Also put her under observation for a while."
As Alex entered the ICU ward, Those words fell on his ears, He quickly looked at Gloria and using his peak mortal-level skills, He was able to conclude that she is out of trouble.
Right now she is quite stable. Rather she was quite healthy from his first look inspection, Just like she was before in the morning he saw through the glass window.
[Ding! Host it's not recommended to do this as it will be too costly and not worth it, As it will need 90% of your current RP.
It's suggested that you wait for a few hours till midnight to rest at the counter.]
System voice rang in his mind and answered to him and gave its own suggestion.
'Okay then but just to be sure, Be prepared to buy life saving medicine on the moment's notice.'
Alex did not argue with the system as he understood that the big thing is saving someone's life and improving them to their peak condition, So it's reasonable for the price to be that high.
So he agreed to the system suggestion but still asked to prepare the life saving medicine from the system, Which though might not be able to cure Gloria but give him enough time to wait till midnight.
After that he just cure her without any worry at all, it's just the worry still lingering in his heart even after there was a solution, So he still fasted his speed.
"By the way, who is her attending doctor? Call and inform them about the situation, Ask them if they can come right now and take a look at her, I also need to consult with them."
Xin Yan was wearing her white doctor's coat and examining the reports of Gloria as she said to the nurse standing next to her, completely ignorant about the new presence in the ward.
All her attention was on her patient and the report in her hand, She rubbed the back tip of her pen in annoyance trying to figure out the cause of this sudden episode of this patient.
She was working in the ER like always. It's just that she decided to take a break and come upstairs to get her favourite milk tea, Because for some reason the downstairs canteen did not sell those.
When she was on the third floor ready to go to the canteen and get her tea she heard the call about the code blue, So even though it was not her duty but because she was close to the ward, She came and quickly ready operated on her.
After checking it turns out this patient did not have a cardiac arrest, But the heart was completely stopped for no reason, And then before she could do CPR and if that did not work then try the defibrillator to restart it, It started beating again as if nothing had happened.
It was Xin Yan's first time to encounter something like this. She performed a few basic quick checks on her but found the strange thing that there is nothing wrong with her at all. She was quite healthy, and So do her heart.
She suspected a liver problem or might even be a strange blood disease, So she asked to do the tests to make sure. She also thought about a kidney problem as there was an emergency operation of a tumour she heard of.
But to do that she needs to consult the appointment doctor of this patient but as it turns out they are not in the hospital right now, So that had to be put on hold.
"Hey, are you listening? I asked you to do this test as quickly as possible, "Do not stand there like a statue."
Xin Yan finally looked up from the reports when she did not receive any reply from the nurse standing near her, So in a little irritation she asked out loud to her.
Normally there are male nurses, But now seeing they are being harassed Hospital changed to female for the women's ward, IShe normally should have no problem with this change.
But it's just that they are all new recruits without any experience in this field, So she babysits this person, Which gets annoying a lot and quite quickly.
"Are you listening? Answer me, What are you staring at!!!"
Even when asking about why she did not get an answer Xin Yan helplessly had to turn around and look at the new nurse beside her, She now asked in a stern voice as she did not have this attitude when handling the patients.
One should always be prepared to do things quickly and pay utmost attention when doctors are talking to them as if they didn't they might make a mistake that puts someone in between life and death trouble.
She was ready to be stern and hard as possible on this new nurse to teach her the basic ethics of this job but when she saw she was staring at the entrance without blinking it took her aback.
So in curiosity, she turned and looked towards the entrance and then froze in place. There was a blast in her mind that stopped all other useless functions like logical thinking and just kept looking at that fallen fairy standing in front of her.
"How was she?"
Alex looked into the two pairs of eyes staring at him and softly, like a rubbing smooth silky fur of the cat, asked them without hurry or worry in his voice.
He checks Gloria standing this far away thanks to his eyes of truth, So he was relaxed finding out there was nothing life-threatening condition about her, Which means he can wait for a few hours before eradicating that unknown problem once and for all.
"How is mom? Is everything okay?"
Xin Yan did not answer Alex, She just stared at Alex without blinking as if she did not hear anything Alex asked her.
Grace also comes into panic mode and hurriedly asks the lady in a white coat like boats do to the lighthouse on the dark new moon's night.
Then without waiting for the answer of Xin Yan's answer, She came to Gloria but did not dare to go near or touch her fearing she might do something that would harm her.
"You guys, why are you running off without me? I am the doctor you need here."
Liza too came after Grace and yelled at them in annoyance but that did not stop her from going to Gloria and quickly started inspecting her checking her condition, After she found there was nothing wrong with her, She did not stop her search but also started to look for the reasons.
"Well she looks fine, There is also nothing wrong with her liver nor does she have any blood disease, It might be her body just acting out? I need to test more to find the cause of it."
Liza didn't need to see reports to tell what was wrong with Gloria, She at first glance found out that her heart stopped beating but the reason for it was still unknown, Which was bothering even her.
"Argghh!!"
She wanted to go and ask Xin Yan about her findings but stopped and looked in shock and disbelief towards Gloria as she groaned and started moving her body little by little.
