The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 38


    ire was queuing up outside of the clinic with the other patients. She was at the very end of the line,


    currently talking to the woman next to her…


    “The legendary Dr. Coney is really something. I had to ask quite a few friends to help me get an


    appointment with him which I had to wait for another three months to happen.”


    “Yeah, I had to wait for more than three months too. Well I can’tin, no doctor is better than him!”


    As she conversed, ire felt someone approaching her and turned around. She frowned when she


    realized it was Alex. “Why are you here?”


    Alex greeted her out of habit, “Mum.”


    ire exploded with anger, “What do you mean Mum? Who’s your Mum? Let me tell you something,


    you useless piece of sh*t. My daughter will soon divorce you and we’re cutting clean! Stop trying to


    crawl back to us! Heck, were you stalking me? You probably couldn’t find a ce to stay, right? Are you


    going to beg me to take you back?”


    Alex shook his head and said, “Ma’am, don’t you worry, I have a ce to stay. You’re in my way, so will


    you please excuse me, ma’am?”


    “What did you call me?” ire was triggered.


    Mum and Ma’am sounded slightly simr, but the meaning was one heck of a difference.


    ire was 46 years old at the time. But she had done her best to preserve her beauty and kept up with


    all the fashion trends just to look like she was in her early 30s. Thus, being called ‘Ma’am’ triggered her


    tremendously.


    Frustration welled up in her chest.


    Suddenly, she noticed Chery walking behind Alex. Slightly startled, her expression changed as she


    said out loud, “Oh I see how it is! I was wondering why this trash could agree to get out of my house


    without hesitation! So you’re living with this b*tch now, huh? And you were saying that you had nothing


    to do with her. As if!


    “Look at this woman. She’s such a in Jane, unlike our darling Dorothy. Look at her clothes, they look


    so cheap! Alex, I really have to say, your taste in women is as low as your life. What you have is just


    another b*tch!”

    “Have some respect, please.” Cheryl’s expression was stern.


    “Tsk, you’re the one who ruined my daughter’s family. You’re just a homewrecker, why should I respect


    you?”


    As she spoke, a hard p hit ire’s fair face. It turned out that the one who pped her was the


    woman she was cheerily talking to just a while ago.


    ire was stunned. She held her face with her palm and asked, “Why did you p me?”


    The woman was furious, “Why? You just called the legendary doctor’s granddaughter a b*tch! Dr.


    Coney shouldn’t even give you a check up, you hot-tempered wench! Who are you to yell at them


    anyway? Just look at you, your daughter probably isn’t any better as well. This young man is right to


    get a divorce!”


    The woman had seen Cheryl before, hence she knew her identity. She knew that she had to stand up


    for Cheryl.


    “What? She… she’s the legendary doctor’s granddaughter?” ire’s eyes widened in disbelief.


    Cheryl brought Alex into the clinic, James had just finished checking up on a patient.


    Cheryl smiled, “Grandpa, this is Alex.”


    James looked up and stood with a smile. “I apologize, everyone. I have a guest to attend to so please


    excuse us! Harold, please get everyone’s details while I’m gone. I’ll be back in a bit.”


    A sharp patient immediately said, “Dr. Coney, is this guy your grandson-inw? No worries, doctor.


    Please go ahead! Your grandson-inw is paying you a visit after all, that must be important to you. We


    don’t mind waiting!”


    Someone chimed in, “Yeah, yeah! We don’t minding back another day too.”


    ire stood by the door and looked extremely upset upon hearing those words.


    The legendary doctor, James Coney, was well known in California. His status was much higher than


    the Assexes’s; everyone knew who he was. Even the politicians in California treated him with the


    utmost respect. He was a VIP in the whole country. If Alex were to be his grandson-inw, that


    would elevate his status greatly as well.


    How could she ever ept that?


    Alex, James, and Coney then walked past her and entered another room in the back.


    Alex didn’t even nce in her direction, as if she was merely thin air.


    Alex had no idea as to why James was looking for him. He even noticed that James was a little too


    modest towards him.


    Was he really trying to get him to be his grandson-inw?


    Just then, Cheryl decided to speak up and exin that her grandfather wanted to know if the Thirteen


    Acupunctures of Hell was real. She continued, “Grandpa, Alex has absolutely no knowledge or


    experience in the medical field. He said so himself, that was just something he found online. You don’t


    have to stress about this acupuncture thing this much. This was most likely something fictional;


    something from a novel or TV show!”


    She then turned to Alex. “Alex, just look up the site and show it to Grandpa so we can get this over


    with.”


    In her point of view, Brittany’s miracle wasn’t because of Alex, it was because Brittany had a strong will


    to live and was able to wake herself up.


    James replied, “Cherry, the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell isn’t fictional, it’s absolutely real. Our


    ancestors used to use this acupuncture method, but some of it got lost as it was handed down over


    generations. As of now, I only have nine of the acupuncture points. The other four are missing. This


    mystical acupuncture method would only work best with all points. The effect wouldn’t be as great if it’s


    iplete, let alone four! That’s why I’ve never taught you this.”


    James then turned to Alex. “Young man, I’m just very curious. That’s why I asked to see you today.”


    Alex took a nce at Cheryl and nodded at James. “Yes, I did use the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell.


    It’s the real deal. I’m sorry that I lied to you yesterday, Dr. Coney.”


    Cheryl spoke up, “There’s no way. I mean, where did you even learn that acupuncture method? You


    didn’t even attend medical school! Or did you manually learn traditional medicine? All you did was read


    a few books. What, did it just pop out of nowhere?”


    Alex thought to himself, ‘Well you’re right about that, it did pop out of nowhere.’


    Just then, hurried heavy footsteps could be heard from the outside. Someone shouted, “Dr. Coney, Dr.


    Coney! Help! Please help my daughter!”
