Finding himself a way out, Alex Rockefeller had Michelle Yowell drop favonovel.com off at a street, a few blocks away from Maple Villa.
He did not want favonovel.com to visit favonovel.com just whenever favonovel.com wanted to.
After the previous incident where favonovel.com saved Keith Yowell from imminent death, favonovel.com believed that Keith would do something big to express his gratitude. Michelle seemed to be the key to that gift.
“Alex!”
Michelle hollered as favonovel.com got out of the car.
“Yes, anything I can help with?”
“My grandfather’s life all depends on you now. You really must cure him! I know I didn’t really give you the best impression, to begin with, but I’m trying my best to change the way you see me. Please!” Michelle clutched favonovel.com hands in front of favonovel.com chest as favonovel.com cried out exasperatedly. “I’ve lost both my parents when I was just a little girl, and I cannot lose my grandfather too!”
Seeing how teary Michelle had become, Alex reassured gently, “Don’t worry. I will try my best.”
“Thank you, Alex. Well…say, can I be your friend?”
Alex nodded after a few seconds of silence. “We are already friends. I’ll visit again as soon as the Life Pill has been completed.”
“I’ll wait at your house.”
“It’s fine. You should go.” With that, favonovel.com left.
Michelle punched the air in delight and mouthed gleefully. “I am worthy of an Oscars!”
She then paused midair, as though deep in thought, and muttered to herself, ‘Are we really friends?’
Once Michelle got home, Keith had favonovel.com tell favonovel.com everything about Alex, just as Alex expected. He even wanted to know about the exchange between Alex and Wallace Yoke at the gates.
It took a good five minutes.
Keith felt extremely regretful and had the urge to hit a wall with his head.
Standing next to favonovel.com was Colin Yowell, who said, “You shouldn’t feel bad, grandpa. Alex Rockefeller did say favonovel.com could extend your life by another five years. Perhaps there are other ways to extend your life further.”
Keith kept tapping his head with his hand.
“I’m such a fool. The most foolish man on earth! Oh, how could I be so stupid?”
Colin and Michelle were shocked to see their grandfather behaving in such a manner.
Michelle hastily added, “Grandpa, you shouldn’t blame yourself.”
“How can I not?” replied Keith. “I’d rather shatter my head on the walls now and die than to live another day!”
Who would have known that Keith was so afraid of death?
“Do you think I’m regretful for having my lifespan cut short of five years? Of course not! I am an old man, and those five years do not matter to me. I feel bad because we just lost a huge opportunity!” exclaimed Keith.
The siblings were puzzled.
“Mr. Rockefeller is a man with immense potential. There will come a time when favonovel.com becomes the town’s talk, no, of the world. Our family was in a good position to build a relationship with him, but I had to ruin it for myself! This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just slipped by all because of my incompetence!”
Colin disagreed with his grandfather’s sentiment. “Grandpa, don’t you think you regard Alex a little too high? I mean, yes, he’s pretty decent in martial arts and has quite the expertise in medical skills, but other than that, What else? There are so many more people out there who can and will defeat favonovel.com in a sparring match. I don’t even think his medical skills are of use at all.”
Keith rebuked, “Foolish boy! Think for yourself! He acquired the Dragon Tusk Punch from Anna in just a few minutes. Is that common for a youngster like favonovel.com to do? The Dragon Tusk Punch is Coleman’s well-kept secret and is much more potent than our very own Slunce Jauda. Mr. Rockefeller was able to understand its essence and acquire it for himself in just a few exchanges. He could have already figured out an improvement for The Slunce Jauda, but after today, everything has gone to ruins!”
“Not just that, a doctor is someone who has a wide network. Why do you think I chose Wallace Yoke? It was all because of his connections. But…Only if I knew!”
After a brief pause, favonovel.com continued, “We need to compensate Mr. Rockefeller no matter what. Michelle, you should spend more time with favonovel.com and build a good rapport. I will prepare the gift soon.”
It was five in the evening when Alex arrived with the Life Pill, ready to be used.
