Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 SelfHealing 

After Jessica bought all the items specified by Alex, he showed her how to prepare the medication

The formula was a remedy for internal injuries that he read in the Nine Heaven Scrolls, and its efficacy 

was excellent

He drank a bowl of the medication once it was ready, then signaled for Jessica to leave

However, she insisted that she stayed back to look after him, and he gave in to her

Later on, Alex took off his shirt and prepared to perform acupuncture treatment on himself

Seeing how solid Alex’s muscles were, Jessica blushed as her heart started beating wildly

Light the alcohol lamp,” said Alex

Huh? Sorry, what did you say?Jessica fumbled to regain her senses after drooling over Alex

Alex quickly raised his head to catch a glimpse of Jessica, and he was amused to see how much she was blushing

Does she think I’m trying to make advances on her

Relax, I’m not into younger girls,” he said while laughing

That very instant, Jessica felt embarrassed and angry at the same time

Hmph, is he implying that I have small boobs

Idiot! I’m at least a B cup. Do I look that flatchested

Hmph! Even if you were into younger girls, I wouldn’t go after a married man like you!Jessica huffed

Alright, alright. Just light the alcohol lamp now,Alex said

Although Jessica was still feeling rather annoyed, she quickly lit the lamp and put it on the coffee table

Alex used the lamp to sterilize a silver needle, then he started performing acupuncture on himself according to the methodology found in the Nine Heaven Scrolls

However, this was the first time in his life performing acupuncture. Even though he had learned the art of acupuncture in theory, performing it physically was a lot more challenging

He missed his pressure points several times and ended up piercing other parts of his flesh, resulting in agonizing pain

Jessica, who was standing next to him, looked apathetic on the surface, but she actually felt a great deal of -distress inside

After more than an hour, Alex finally completed his acupuncture treatment

It was already nighttime by then, so Jessica asked the hotel staff to serve them dinner through room 

service

Later on, Alex continued with more breathing exercises to regulate his internal energy

After a series of exercises, he opened his eyes, only to find Jessica gazing at him doeeyed with her cheeks propped against her hands

Alex checked the time and was stunned to find that it was already eleven o’clock at night. Why are you still here? Don’t tell me you’re going to stay the night with me?he said to her

Jessica was very much angered by his remarks. I kindly stayed back to take care of him, and this is how he responds? How rude and ungrateful

In your dreams! I would never go after a married man like you!she yelled, then she grabbed her handbag and left

The door slammed shut with a loud bang as though it were reflecting her annoyance and displeasure

The corners of Alex’s lips curled up into a faint smile, then he got off his bed

After recuperating for five to six hours, his internal injury was halfhealed

The medical knowledge found in the Nine Heaven Scrolls indeed worked wonders

If he had gone to the hospital with such severe injuries, he would have to be hospitalized for at least ten days

But with the scrollshelp, he would be able to achieve full recovery in two to three days

A while later, he took a warm shower, then he finally switched on his phone again

He found that there were several missed calls. One was from Heather, and the rest were from Flynn

Without any hesitation, he called Flynn back

As soon as the call connected, Flynn said, I’ve caught the person you mentioned earlier, but he’s incredibly strong and he has injured over twenty of my brothers. If I hadn’t brought along that tool of mine, I wouldn’t have been able to catch him.” 

Chapter 50 Where Is He 

Send me a picture of him,Alex said before hanging up

He was pretty sure that Flynn was in control of the situation

Now that Flynn had regained control of Nebula City’s underworld, he had lackeys in every corner of the city

Freddie wouldn’t be able to escape once Flynn took action

This was part of the reason why Alex didn’t continue hunting Freddie down after he got injured

Very soon, Flynn sent Alex a few pictures through a messaging app

It was indeed Freddie Moore

Alex replied with a voice message: That’s him alright. Make sure he doesn’t escape and don’t underestimate him. He’s a martial arts expert after all
