The Ultimate Son-in-law

Chapter 6: Going to the Hospital

Alex felt a weight lifted off his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Your skills are truly amazing. Thank you," Emma grabbed Alex's hand, feelinggenuinely grateful from the bottom of her heart.

This sudden turn left Iris and the others dumbfounded, rubbing their eyes indisbelief.

"You must be a doctor with such incredible medical skills. l wonder if you can treatother illnesses?" Emma suddenly thought of her bedridden father.

"Wel..l can go check up. There shouldn't be a problem," Alex replied.

"My father is sick and currently in hospital. lf you can cure his illness which haslasted for years, there won’t be a limit on your reward," Emma released Alex's handand prepared to take him to the hospital.

Alex glanced at Sophia, "What about today's matter....

"Forget about what happened today. l won't bother with it anymore," Emma saidfeeling jubilant. "Oh, by the way, why did those strange pimples appear on myface?"

Alex explained, "The moisturizer you used is fine. The problem lies with the peculiarcondition of your facial skin, combined with your recent mental and physicalexhaustion.That's why it happened."

Emma nodded as if she understood. She had indeed been exhausted lately due toher father's condition.

"So, does that mean l can no longer use this brand of moisturizer?" Emma asked

"Yes," Alex nodded.

"Okay, then come with me now. lf you can cure my father's illness, l will give you thirty million dollars!"

Thirty million? The onlookers gasped in astonishment. This woman was trulywealthy. Thirty million was not a small sum.

Iris was also surprised. The annual revenue of Sophia's cosmetics company wasonly around ten million. After deducting all the costs, a net profit of five to sixmillion was already quite good.

Alex pondered for a moment and nodded, "Let's go.

"Alex, hold on. You can't go!" Sophia suddenly stood in Alex's way, blocking his path"You have no idea how to treat illnesses. lf something goes wrong, you could landyourself in jail!"

Sophia was genuinely worried. Although she didn't have much affection for Alex. they were still legally bound as family. lf something happened to Alex, she couldn'tescape the consequences either.

Furthermore, the woman's brother happened to be the wealthiest man in the city. lf Alex made any missteps, it could spell disaster. Legal battles might ensue, putting theentire Taylor family at risk.

Alex thought Sophia was concerned about him and smiled, "Don't worry, i'm justgoing to take a look. lf l find that l can't help him, l will stay out of it"

"Alex, do you even know yourself? Don't think that you can do anything just becauseyou can treat a few pimples. lf something goes wrong, don't expect us to clean upthe mess for you!" Iris sternly warned.

Alex bypassed Sophia and said to Emma, "Let's go.

"Alex, if you have the guts to go, then don't ever come back!"

Watching the two walk further away, Sophia was still worried. She said to Iris,"Mom, you should go home first. l'll go to the hospital."

After all, Alex had helped her today, and she didn't want him to do somethingreckless.

"Mom, should we go too?" Sophia asked her mother.

"Yes, why not? l want to see how capable my son-in-law really is."

Alex's transformation today had completely caught Iris off guard.

"I'll drive," Carl volunteered.

"You drive? The car key is with Alex.'

"Then let's take a taxi!"

Carl was eager. He believed that Alex had only been lucky to cure the pimples.Now, Alex dared to treat the father of the richest man in Hereward City. lt was definitelyfinding trouble for himself, He didn't want to miss this spectacle.

The car sped quickly on the road, with Alex driving, Sophia sitting in the passengerseat, and Emma in the back seat.

"Alex, l advise you not to do anything crazy. lt's not too late to regret now," Sophiareminded him again.

Alex replied with the same words, "Trust me.

Sophia turned her head and looked at Alex's profile. Suddenly, she realized that thisman behind the wheel had become a stranger to her.

After four years of being together, was this still the man who used to listen to herevery word?

Perhaps she had never truly understood him.

Emma's phone rang.

"What?! My father has been transferred to the lCU? Wasn't he fine yesterday?" Emma sounded anxious. "Brother I'm on my way."

Hanging up the phone, Emma said to Alex, "My father is in trouble again. Can youplease drive faster?"

Alex pressed down on the accelerator.

Arriving at the hospital, Emma rushed to the lCU directly.

Alex wanted to follow, but Emma stopped him. "'m sorry, l asked you to help myfather, but now he's in critical condition and may undergo surgery soon, so....

Emma looked apologetic.

"Don't worry, l haven't examined your father's condition yet. lf you allow me to takea look, l might be able to provide some treatment," Alex explained.

Alex's intention to save the patient was fueled by his own ambitions

Deep within him, a mysterious energy surged, granting him knowledge of almost all magic. lf he could demonstrate his extraordinary abilities, he wouldn't have to live in the shadow of the Taylor family any longer. He saw this asan opportunity to step out and make a name for himself breaking free from the constraints of his wealthy and powerful in-laws.

Especially since it involved the wealthiest man in Hereward City. Alex didn't want to missthis opportunity.

Seeing Alex's sincere expression, Emma hesitated for a moment. Considering that hehad come to the hospital at her invitation, it seemed unreasonable not to let himcheck her father. She nodded in agreement.

Just as Emma and Alex entered the lCU, Iris and the others also arrived. However.

they were not allowed to enter.

Under the doctor's instructions, Emma and Alex changed into sterile garments in theanteroom and then entered the ward.

In the hospital room, an elderly man with white hair lay on a bed. Various tubes wereconnected to his body, and he wore an oxygen mask on his nose and mouth.Standing beside the bed was a slightly chubby middle-aged man. Upon seeing hisanxious face, Alex immediately recognized him as Albert Walker, Hereward City's billionairefrequently seen on TV.

Next to Albert stood a doctor.

Albert turned to Emma, "Dad is... who is this with you?

"Brother, this young man is a doctor. He cured the pimples on my face. l broughthim here to check up on Dad," Emma explained.

Albert's scrutinizing gaze settled on Alex as he carefully examined him. His expressionwas one of skepticism, and he asked, "Young man, which hospital are you affiliated with?"
