Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 642

Chapter 642 I Can Take Action, Give Me Back My Freedom

“Who are you!? Who are you to stop me!?” The woman was currently fueled by her rage, so she didn’t feel scared despite Elise’s imposing attitude.

“I am Alexander’s wife. We came here to solve this problem.” Elise answered confidently. “If you think that your daughter will be fine after hitting him, then let me remind you this—the truth is that you will only disturb the doctor’s concentration during the operation if you continue to make a fuss!”

Even though the woman hated Alexander to the core, there was nothing more important to her than her daughter’s life. She did not wish to harm her daughter because of her actions. Therefore, she hurriedly stopped her verbal abuse and calmed herself down.

The door to the operating room opened shortly afterward, and Thomas walked out of the room.

“Doctor!” The woman immediately rushed forward and asked anxiously, “How is my daughter?”

Thomas furrowed his eyebrows tightly together. He took off his mask and glanced toward Alexander. “I’m sorry. The patient is a stomach cancer patient. Compounded by her suspected poisoning, her stomach is bleeding heavily. The situation is relatively complicated. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to save her with my abilities.”

“Ah! Kiki…” The woman felt her vision going black, and her body slumped to the ground upon hearing those words.

It was fortunate that Alexander reacted quickly and caught her, preventing her head from hitting the ground and causing neurological damage.

“Don’t just leave out the other half of your words.” Alexander’s expression was cold and slightly reproachful.

“How would I know that the family will be so agitated?” Thomas looked innocent and waved his hand dismissively. “Forget it. You know what I mean. You will need to ask Max E. Mumm for help with this.”

It was not as if he could not perform the surgery himself. It was just that the risks were very high. He had already heard about what had happened to Alexander. If something went wrong with the girl while she was in the operating room, That would forever nail Alexander’s name to the pillar of shame, so he could not afford to take this risk.

Besides, he had always suspected that Max E. Mumm was Claude Strike. He also wanted to study under Max E. Mumm but could never find the opportunity. So, this incident would give him the best of both worlds.

“Understood. Buy as much time as you can. I’ll have somebody bring him here.” Elise solemnly issued these instructions. Then, she took her mobile phone and made a call.

After they made arrangements for the woman who had just fainted, Moses brought Claude to the hospital.

Inside the office, Claude and Elise looked at each other. The former was relaxed while the latter looked solemn.

Elise was just about to speak when Claude interrupted. “I’ll do it.”

“Do you know why I came to you?” Elise narrowed her eyes.

“This is a hospital. Not to mention, you brought me here. What else can it be except rescuing a patient?” Claude crossed his leg over his knee. Then, he acted as though he was still at home as he poured himself a glass of water and drank the entire glass. Only then did he slowly say, “I can take action, but give me back my freedom.”

“Your freedom?” She indifferently asked, “Did you think we kept you in order to restrain your freedom? It was safest for you to stay.”

“Safe or not, I know what I’m doing.” His expression darkened, and he stubbornly continued, “I only have this one condition. Whether you agree or not is up to you.”

“I can let you go, but you need to tell me what you plan to do,” she said.

“To learn how to manufacture poison,” he replied without hesitation.

“I recall you saying that you despise people who produce drugs the most. You claimed that manufacturing drugs would only destroy. But, on the other hand, medical skills can cure diseases and save others.” She had a vague but ominous suspicion in her heart. What kind of accomplishments will a genius doctor achieve if he learns how to manufacture drugs? Who will be able to keep him in check when that happens?

“Did I ever say something like that?” He was blatantly being flippant. “Let’s say I did mention that before. So what? A doctor can save others, but can’t I do the same using poison?”

“Of course, you can,” she said. “As long as it doesn’t hurt or victimize anybody, you are always free.”
