Kingsley laughed and patted her shoulder. “Let’s go, heroine. It’s getting late. I’ll take you home.”
Before he left, he told Leoric, “Take Mr. Johnson straight to Hill Crest’s cardiology department tomorrow
and see Dr. Alice Kramer. She’ll assign a VIP ward for him.”
“Yes, sir.” Leoric nodded. “I’ll take Yvonne and Mr. Johnson to Hill Crest safely.”
“Just Mr. Johnson is enough.” Kingsley shook his head. “She’s in her senior year, and the college
entrance exam is fast approaching. She shouldn’t be distracted.”
Yvonne puckered her lips. “But…”
“No buts!” Kingsley said sternly. “You’ll go back to school tomorrow. Leroy and I will handle your family
matters. Don’t worry about it.”
Leoric agreed as well. “Yes, young lady. I’ll take care of Mr. Johnson as well. Just focus on your
studies.”

Kingsley sent her home and transferred 1,500 to her bank account. He told her to focus on her studies
and stay safe before he drove back to Reene’s place. It was a cold, emotionless villa at this point, and
Kingsley thought back to the days where Reene and Serena were around. The days were cheerful, and
everyone fooled around. It was a peaceful period, but now Reene was hurt, and Serena could be in
danger. It was a sleepless night for Kingsley.
He woke up early the next morning and drove to the hospital.
Alice was in Reene’s ward, and they were chatting. After the ladies grew up and left the orphanage,
they started their own careers. Aside from Christmas, where they would go back and see Joseph, the
ladies seldom had time to gather.
It had been a while since Reene saw Alice. They were holding each other’s hands and talking about
their childhood days up until their current lives. It was as if they had infinite things to talk about.
“Reene! Alice!” Kingsley came in, smiling at them. “What are you ladies talking about? You two seem
happy.”
“Reene said you used to flunk school, so you always copied Courtney’s homework.” ALice smiled. “She
said Yulia was even taller than you were back when you were twelve, but now you’ve grown into a
really tall guy.”
Kingsley scratched his head, chuckling. “Courtney’s a genius, so of course I would copy her homework.
And Yulia’s a model! Her legs alone are already four feet long. Of course she was taller than I was.” He
came up to Reene and asked, “How are you feeling, Reene? Does it hurt anywhere?”
Kingsley knew that Reene was alright, but he just wanted to be assured. The moment Reene was hurt,
he had sealed all her meridians and stopped the bullet from piercing into her body further. Even though
it had gotten under her skin, literally speaking, her organs were fine. Taking the bullet out was akin to
an appendectomy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmReene nodded at him, smiling. “I’m fine, though the wound does throb a little.”
“Yeah. Her whole healing process is just weird.” Alice looked curious. “The bullet pierced her chest.
Reene’s recovery would still have taken ages even if she did survive the attack. The attending
physician who operated on her said that this a miracle. Do you know what happened?”
“Um…” Kingsley paused for a moment, and he lied, “I have no idea. Maybe Reene’s regenerative
abilities are super strong?”
He wanted to tell Alice that Reene healed so quickly because he forced the bullet to move away from
the meridians and organs, and he also sealed her meridians in time. But nobody’s gonna believe that.
This is ancient healing, and there’s no living person who knows about this except me. Qustia’s own
ancient healing differs from this. Alan would probably think I’m crazy too if I told him about it. I’d better
pretend that I know nothing, or Alice is going to get suspicious.
“Is that so?” Alice was still doubtful. “Still, this is weird.” She squinted at Reene. “Reene, your
regenerative abilities are off the charts. Can I have a cut of your skin for research purposes?”
