Chapter 1567


    q“This is all your fault, you know? When you finally wake up, you''d better pay me one billion for the


    treatment fees! All right, I''ve stuck the needles into all your acupuncture points now. You''d better show


    me some response now!” Francesco said, pping Zachary''s cheeks in a not very gentle manner. Yet,


    Zachary remained motionless.


    She sighed helplessly and turned around to pull a notebook out of a drawer. Then she flipped to an


    empty page and wrote: The fourteenth day of treatment. Owing three hundred seventy million in fees.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Then, she took Zachary''s hand, pressed his right thumb onto an ink pad, and stamped his thumbprint


    onto the treatment sheet she had just written up.


    “There we go!” Francesco blew at the wet thumbprint and smiled in satisfaction. “If you live, you''ll have


    to pay me your treatment fees with interest, and if you die, I''ll take this bill to your wife and children!


    Although your wife is the aunt of my precious babies, my fees should still be paid. This is not personal,


    just business. You understand, right? Ah, forget it! It''s useless for me to talk to you. Looking at you, I


    highly doubt you''ll live much longer. I don''t want to waste any more time on you. Tomorrow morning, I''ll


    take you to the furthest mountains in Northridge and leave you there. Whether you live or die will be up


    to fate...”


    One by one, Francesco started removing the acupuncture needles from Zachary. She fully intended to


    give up on him.


    Suddenly, Zachary''s fingers twitched slightly.


    Francesco immediately froze. Her eyes widened as she stared at him in astonishment. Did my eyes


    y a trick on me? Or maybe the wind blew a strand of hair into my eye and blurred my vision? Or


    perhaps I was hallucinating? This man has been lying here motionless for more than ten days, and


    now, suddenly...


    Just as Francesco was speechlessly staring at him, Zachary moved his fingers a few more times.


    This time Francesco was sure of what she had seen. He moved his fingers!


    Francescoughed ecstatically. “How wonderful that you are finally conscious! It seems my efforts


    weren''t in vain! It wasn''t a waste for me to read through those old books in your wife''s study!”


    Following that, Francesco excitedly stuck all the needles back into Zachary. She wanted to continue


    with the current treatment n since it was proven to work.


    At that moment, over at Northridge, Beta and Gamma awoke from a nightmare.


    The two of them subconsciously reached out to touch the pillow beside them before realizing Alpha


    was not there. Beta started crying immediately.


    With teary eyes, Gamma consoled Beta, “Stop crying. What''s the point in crying? We should be trying


    our best to contact Daddy now and get him to beat up those bad guys to avenge Alpha!”


    “But we''ve lost our phone! How cen we contect Deddy?” Bete choked through her teers. “Mommy seid


    thet we cen only reech Deddy''s number with thet phone!”


    “Weh! Whet should we do?”


    “When Aunt Cherlotte gets beck, we''ll esk her to help us cell Deddy...”


    “But she''s so busy right now! She hesn''t even found Robbie end Jemie yet. I feel so frightened...”


    “I miss Mommy so much! Why won''t shee home quickly? Weh...”

    “Your deddy hes gone to Erihel. He hes importent things to do there. As for your mommy, well, we''re

    “Weh...”


    However, Bete wes inconsoleble end continued crying helplessly. Gemme, on the other hend, merely


    kept silent end stered out of the window et Fifi, who wes perched on e tree outside.


    “But we''ve lost our phone! How can we contact Daddy?” Beta choked through her tears. “Mommy said


    that we can only reach Daddy''s number with that phone!”


    “Wah! What should we do?”


    “When Aunt Charlotte gets back, we''ll ask her to help us call Daddy...”


    “But she''s so busy right now! She hasn''t even found Robbie and Jamie yet. I feel so frightened...”


    “I miss Mommy so much! Why won''t shee home quickly? Wah...”


    “I have an idea of how we can find Mommy...” Zero said casually as Beta cried next to her.


    At that moment, the door swung open, and Morgan barged in. She immediately went to wrap her arms


    around Beta and Gamma. “What''s wrong? Did you girls have a nightmare? Don''t be scared. I''m here,


    okay?”


    “Ms. Morgan, we''re very frightened...”


    “Don''t be afraid. I''ll protect you. You are all safe with me.” She tightened her arms around them and


    said, “Alpha''s condition has stabilized. She''ll be alright soon.”


    “Ms. Morgan, we want Daddy and Mommy...”


    “Your daddy has gone to Erihal. He has important things to do there. As for your mommy, well, we''re


    looking for her too.”


    “Wah...”


    However, Beta was inconsble and continued crying helplessly. Gamma, on the other hand, merely


    kept silent and stared out of the window at Fifi, who was perched on a tree outside.
