Chapter 488 He Is A Conman
“W-what? What did you say?”
The one who blurted in surprise wasn’t Carmen nor Heather. Instead, it was the doctor.
She stared at Alex in distaste when she heard what he said..
Alex turned to the doctor and repeated himself, “I said I can fix his spine.”

The doctor spat, “Who the hell do you think you are? Do you even know what a spine is? Do you realize how vital the spine is for the human body? Every doctor in the industry, no, in the world has trouble understanding and curing it. Have you considered how the patient’s family would feel when you say irresponsible white lies like that?”
The doctor’s questions shot out like bullets out of a machine gun, endless and fatal.
“That’s my son-in-law, Alex. He’s but a conman, doctor, so please don’t take him seriously,” explained Carmen when she saw the doctor being that angry. Carmen was holding her pain in as she spoke, though.
Heather looked displeased as well. She complained, “Alex, please stop making a scene, okay? I don’t care if you lie to others, but are you really going to lie to your own family as well?”
“You think I’m lying? Okay, fine, then you lot can prepare yourselves to tend to a paralyzed man for the rest of your lives,” said Alex angrily as he scoffed.
At that, Alex took Stanley out of the hospital.
“Daddy, will uncle die?” asked Stanley suddenly when he was in the car.
Lucas was a great uncle to Stanley when the former was in a good mood, and he often bought toys for Stanley.
Lucas would only growl at Stanley when the former was in a bad mood.
Kids like Stanley didn’t really keep track of all the times when others were mean to him, but he always took note to remember it well when others were nice to him.
“No,” answered Alex while shaking his head.
He wouldn’t actually let Lucas turn paralyzed. He wasn’t going to abandon Lucas even after Heather and the others made it clear that they didn’t trust him.
Still, he wouldn’t be tending to the matter personally as well. He would ask Tyrael to step up.
The injury
Lucas’ spine was medically impossible to cure, but it was just a matter of feeding Lucas a Pill of Vitality to Alex.
The Pill of Vitality could revive a person’s Energy Field and prompt their bones to recover, so naturally, it could reconnect the spine as well.
That was how powerful the Pill of Vitality was, and that was also why modern medicine could not decipher the mystical properties of the Pill of Vitality.
Alex planned on finding Tyrael and giving him a Pill of Vitality. After that, Tyrael would, as requested by Alex, give Lucas the pill.

“Lucas got into a car accident, Granny, and I hear he’s in a terrible condition. He might be paralyzed from the neck down,” reported Jacob to Demi as soon as he received the news late that night.
