Chapter 12
A few minutes after Alex arrived at Kingston’s mansion, the old butler, already waiting at the entrance, greeted
him.
“Respected Sir Alex, Master Alfred asks for forgiveness as he has not returned home yet. He asked me to guide you in checking Miss Jasmine’s condition.”
“No problem, take me to her,” Alex replied.
The butler led Alex through the luxury long hallways. As they approached Jasmine’s room, a sharp, sterile medical smell filled the air.
An older woman was already pacing back and forth there anxiously.
Upon seeing Alex, she immediately turned and rushed to him.
It was Jasmine Kingston’s mother, Jessica Kingston.
“Doctor, please help my daughter!” Jessica pleaded desperately.
“Calm down. No need to worry.”
Alex saw a young woman lying still on the bed, her breathing shallow and labored.
She appeared to be in her early twenties, her once–beautiful features now overshadowed by a sickly pallor. (3) Her face was ashen, her body trembling uncontrollably, and tears clung to her lashes, silently testifying to her agony.
Alex placed his fingers on her wrist, while Jessica watched anxiously.
Without delay, Alex turned to the butler, “I need these 19 ingredients.”
He listed the names of specific herbs, along with their precise weights.
“Make the room temperature 35 degrees Celsius,” he instructed firmly. 1
“Also, prepare a bathtub. ”
“What’s the bathtub for?” Jessica questioned suspiciously. 1
“Do you want to me to waste time explaining while her condition worsens, or we start treating right now?”
Alex asked solemnly.
Jasmine’s condition was worsen by the second. If she wasn’t treated immediately, she may not survive. (1)
“A–alright, then,” Jessica mumbled.
Her anxiety grew as she realized how paler her daughter was getting as every second passed by.
She turned to the butler. “Be quick!”
The butler quickly moved to action, summoning the servants.
Within two minutes, the bathtub was ready and the 19 ingredients were handed over to Alex.
As he clenched his hand and then opened it again. The originally 19 herbs, minerals, and other ingredients had all turned into powder in his palm.

He poured half the powder of the ingredients into the tub.
“Now, I need a maid to take off her clothes and put her in the bathtub.”
Alex couldn’t do that himself, of course.
“D–doctor, i–is it necessary?”
Jessica looked at Alex with doubt in her eyes.
From the moment she saw Alex, she couldn’t help but think he was too young to be a seasoned doctor.

And now, he was asking her daughter to be undress–wasn’t he taking advantage of her daughter?
She was skeptical.
“Rest assured, your daughter will be submerged in the tub and I won’t see anything.” Alex said simply after sensing Jessica’s concern.”
“How could you not see? The tub is so
… shallow.
“}
However, before she finished, she noticed that the originally clear water had unexpectedly become murky.
It took on a deep blue color with occasional silver flecks, like the night sky.
Holy shit!
Was this poison or medicine?!
Her jaws dropped.
Just then, the door burst open, and a man hurried in, followed by a middle–aged doctor. 1
“Mother, we’re lucky–Professor Jenkin is here!” Jasmine’s brother, Charles, announced. “I finally managed to get him. Now sister is surely saved.”
“Doctor Jenkin, thank God you were willing to come,” Jessica rushed to the doctor’s side. “Please, help my child.” Jenkin was a renowned Divine Doctor and a famous professor from Vancouver. And mostly importantly, he looked ‘seasoned enough.
Jessica really couldn’t believe Alex! And Dr. Jenkins‘ arrival filled her with ecstatic joy. 1
“Don’t worry, I’ve reviewed her diagnosis on the way here. I know what her problem is, and she’ll be healing within just an hour,” Doctor Jenkin said confidently.
“Hey there, you must be the quack who fooled my dad, aren’t you?”
Charles disdainfully sneered at Alex, dismissing him as too young, and wondered why his father had invited such a fraud..
“My sister doesn’t need your treatment. Now get out of Dr Jenkin’s way!”
Then, he respectfully invited Jenkin, “Please, do help my sister.”
With an air of pride, Dr. Jenkin nodded.
“Alright.”

All this while, Jessica didn’t stop her son. It was clear she also favored Dr. Jenkin more.
Alex shook his head and stepped aside.
If it weren’t for Alfred’s sake, he would have left right away
