The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 316

James Coney’s name was well known in California. So when security heard it and saw
how the other doctors in the room weren’t making any moves, they didn’t take any
further action either.
As for James, he suddenly grabbed Alex’s hand. “Alex, this old man’s life won’t last
long, and I will probably die soon.
Before I go, can I ask you for a promise?”
Alex was startled. “Grandpa, you won’t die.”
James ignored his words, clinging onto him. “You have to promise me, otherwise I won’t
be able to go in peace.”
Alex studied his complexion carefully, and was convinced that he hadn’t made any
mistake. He said helplessly, “Grandpa, you really won’t be dying.
I guarantee it.”
Who would have thought that James would ignore him again and shouted, “I won’t go in
peace, if you don’t promise me! I won’t be able to go in peace!”
Cheryl felt her heart break when she watched the scene in front of her. “Alex, just
promise him!”
Alex was dismayed. “I don’t even know what it is!”
James continued to yell, “Promise me, just promise me first. If you don’t, I won’t be able
to go in peace.”

Alex felt a pounding headache coming. “Fine, fine. I promise you. What is it?”
“As a man, once he gives his word, the promise must be kept. You would be considered
untrustworthy if you go back on your word.”
James suddenly seemed to have recovered
as he looked at Alex with a piercing gaze.
“Grandpa, what in the world is the matter with you?” Even Cheryl was confused by his
actions.
“It’s simple. I want you to be his wife.” James’ face turned sly.
“What?!
Grandpa… Why are you being like this? In such a moment too?!” Cheryl’s face
flushed red, embarrassed.
Alex shook his head. “Grandpa, I can agree to anything else but this. I really can’t do it, I
already have a wife. I will never divorce her.”
His words pierced Cheryl’s heart and made her a little sad.
James persisted.
“Then, how about a mistress?”
Everyone present was shocked. James had a great reputation and Cheryl was beautiful
and voluptuous. Many men would want to be James’ grandson-in-law, but this old man
wanted his granddaughter to be someone’s mistress?!
Had he completely lost his mind?
They didn’ t know that James had been so impressed by Alex’s medical skills to the
point that the latter became akin to a god in his eyes. He wouldn’t have behaved in this
way if Alex had only taught him the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell. When his soul had
left his body, he personally witnessed firsthand Alex grabbing his soul and forcefully
pushing it back into his body at the last moment.
With such medical skills, he could only be described as a miracle doctor.
How could he let go of such a man that was impossible to be found anywhere else?
Moreover, because of her father, Cheryl had always found men repulsive. However,
Alex was the first man she had willingly accepted and even proactively approached.
James may be old, but his eyes could clearly see that letting his granddaughter be his
mistress would make her happier than being the wife of another man.
“Alright, alright!”
Andrew couldn’t stand to it anymore. “We can talk about your family
affairs later. A patient regaining consciousness is normal anyway. It has nothing to do
