“You are wishing for my mother’s death, aren’t you?” Nancy Carter was livid.
“I was just stating the truth.” Alex Rockefeller heeded no attention to Nancy. “Now that I
am here, she will live.”
“Who knows if you are deceiving us?” Nancy retorted.
Meanwhile, Wallace Yoke checked the old lady’s pulse again.
For three full minutes, he remained motionless with a solemn expression on his face.
