Alex Rockefeller had no idea what was wrong with his mother-in-1aw lately. Every now

Alex asked over the phone.

“It’s Uncle Anderson,” Lady Beatrice Assex said.

Ander Assex actually went and hit Alex’s mother-in-law again.

“I’ll be right there!” Alex said.

Alex told James Coney and Cheryl Coney he had to leave before quickly making his

way over to the Assex family’s place.

Many patients who were still waiting in line to be seen by the miracle doctor blamed

themselves for missing such a good opportunity.

Anderson and the others were long gone.

Madame Claire Assex sat on the ground with her hair all messed up. There were

bruises all over her face and arms. Both sides of Lady Beatrice’s face were swollen up,
