The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 240

As Alex and Josephine crossed the threshold of the Kane estate, he spotted a semi-circle of white coats aristocracy clustered like ravens in the marbled fover.

"You're finally here, young man! Come in, quickly!" Lidia cried, her smile nearly swallowing her face

Without another word, Alex stepped to Bella's bedside and took her pulse.

She slept soundly, her color already improving under the miracle pill's haze.

He drew his first needle, but a thunderous shout cracked across the hall.

"Stop!"

"Hands off that girl!" the voice boomed.

"Dr. Joane?" someone gasped, and the room exploded with chatter.

The assembled physicians practically melted into gushing fanboys, their excitement punching through the mansion roof.
