I Am the Ruler of All

Kingsley laughed and patted her shoulder. "Let's go, heroine. It's getting late. I'll take you home." Before he left, he told Leoric,
"Take Mr. Johnson straight to Hill Crest's cardiology department tomorrow and see Dr. Alice Kramer. She'll assign a VIP ward for
him."
"Yes, sir." Leoric nodded. "I'll take Yvonne and Mr. Johnson to Hill Crest safely."
"Just Mr. Johnson is enough." Kingsley shook his head. "She's in her senior year, and the college entrance exam is fast
approaching. She shouldn't be distracted."
Yvonne puckered her lips. "But..."
"No buts!" Kingsley said sternly. "You'll go back to school tomorrow. Leroy and I will handle your family matters. Don't worry
about it."
Leoric agreed as well. "Yes, young lady. I'll take care of Mr. Johnson as well. Just focus on your studies."
"Fine..." Yvonne knew they were doing it for her own good, so she nodded.
Kingsley sent her home and transferred 1,500 to her bank account. He told her to focus on her studies and stay safe before he
drove back to Reene's place. It was a cold, emotionless villa at this point, and Kingsley thought back to the days where Reene
and Serena were around. The days were cheerful, and everyone fooled around. It was a peaceful period, but now Reene was
hurt, and Serena could be in danger. It was a sleepless night for Kingsley.
He woke up early the next morning and drove to the hospital.
Alice was in Reene's ward, and they were chatting. After the ladies grew up and left the orphanage, they started their own
careers. Aside from Christmas, where they would go back and see Joseph, the ladies seldom had time to gather.
It had been a while since Reene saw Alice. They were holding each other's hands and talking about their childhood days up until
their current lives. It was as if they had infinite things to talk about.

"Reene! Alice!" Kingsley came in, smiling at them. "What are you ladies talking about? You two seem happy."
"Reene said you used to flunk school, so you always copied Courtney's homework." ALice smiled. "She said Yulia was even
taller than you were back when you were twelve, but now you've grown into a really tall guy."
Kingsley scratched his head, chuckling. "Courtney's a genius, so of course I would copy her homework. And Yulia's a model! Her
legs alone are already four feet long. Of course she was taller than I was." He came up to Reene and asked, "How are you
feeling, Reene? Does it hurt anywhere?"
Kingsley knew that Reene was alright, but he just wanted to be assured. The moment Reene was hurt, he had sealed all her
meridians and stopped the bullet from piercing into her body further. Even though it had gotten under her skin, literally speaking,
her organs were fine. Taking the bullet out was akin to an appendectomy.
Reene nodded at him, smiling. "I'm fine, though the wound does throb a little."
"Yeah. Her whole healing process is just weird." Alice looked curious. "The bullet pierced her chest. Reene's recovery would still
have taken ages even if she did survive the attack. The attending physician who operated on her said that this a miracle. Do you
know what happened?"
"Um..." Kingsley paused for a moment, and he lied, "I have no idea. Maybe Reene's regenerative abilities are super strong?"
He wanted to tell Alice that Reene healed so quickly because he forced the bullet to move away from the meridians and organs,
and he also sealed her meridians in time. But nobody's gonna believe that. This is ancient healing, and there's no living person
who knows about this except me. Qustia's own ancient healing differs from this. Alan would probably think I'm crazy too if I told
him about it. I'd better pretend that I know nothing, or Alice is going to get suspicious.
"Is that so?" Alice was still doubtful. "Still, this is weird." She squinted at Reene. "Reene, your regenerative abilities are off the
charts. Can I have a cut of your skin for research purposes?"
