Chapter 317

Alex pressed harder, desperately fighting to save the little boy whose life hung by the thinnest thread.

Sweat streaked his face as he whispered reassurance. "Stay with me, kid. You're stronger than this."

The bodyguard jabbed a gun directly into Alex's temple. "Doc, I warned you-fix our Madame first, or you're done."

Alex didn't flinch. His voice came cold and fierce.

"Pull the trigger, and your precious madame can find herself another doctor. I'm not leaving this child."

Alex tore open the boy's shirt, revealing a horrific wound.

Blood had slowed but still oozed, darkening the asphalt. The child's breaths came

in shallow gasps.

Alex reached into his pocket, pulling out the miracle pills.

With a steady hand, he gently placed one in the boy's mouth.

"Hold on. You're gonna make it."

The boy's mother watched helplessly, tears flooding her cheeks, her voice shaking with prayer.

"Oh God, please spare my son. Please."

Beside her, the father fell to his knees, pleading with the bodyguard.

"Please, he's our only child. Ten years of prayers brought him to us. Let the doctor save him."

Bystanders crowded closer, anger igniting their voices. "Leave the doctor alone! Can't you see he's saving the kid?"

"Have you no heart? Let him work!"

The bodyguard's eyes darted nervously around, his grip loosening slightly on the gun.

"Move! All of you!" The shrill voice cut through the chaos as Clarissa Montclair emerged from her luxury car, her head slightly injured, fury blazing in her eyes.
