Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 421

Coolest Girl in Town, Chapter 421

Alexander was visibly upset after seeing Elise coming to her friend’s defense, but he knew Elise was only friends with this Max character. His real enemy was the one in the coffin, the one who was a hair’s breadth away from death.

After Elise got control of the situation, she looked at Alexander and told Claude, “He’s in the room. We have to be quick.”

“I understand.” Claude nodded and went into the room where the coffin was kept.

Elise followed him.

Alexander hated seeing Elise looking so worried for another man, but he still went inside after thinking about it for a second. Jackson had always been interested in Alexander’s shenanigans. It was the first time Alexander was being so open, so he went inside as well.

Claude performed a simple checkup on Joseph, then his brows knitted into a frown.

“How is it?” Elise asked.

“Not good,” he answered. “The resources here are limited. I have to perform a detailed checkup on him and arrange a surgery at once.”

“Can he wake up after that?” she asked again.

“No guarantees.” Claude wasn’t too sure about it himself either. “But I will try my best. If you want him to wake up immediately, I do have a way to do it, though it won’t last long.”

“Do it,” she said solemnly. Since it wasn’t certain that Joseph would wake after the surgery, she would try and extract some useful information from Joseph before that.

“Joseph!” Elise held his hand, which felt cold, in hopes to wake him up, but he had lost consciousness. She looked up at Claude solemnly. “What happened?” she asked, her voice tinged with frustration.

Alexander noticed that, of course, and his eyes glinted coldly.

“Things,” Claude answered apologetically. “It’s the med’s effect. It causes a rally, and it works like steroids for athletes. It can stimulate the human brain for a short while, but I can’t control the length of time. It’s a miracle he could last until he finished telling you a clue, not to mention how clear and succinct he was.”

Despite how ‘useless’ the medicine seemed, Jackson went on full alert. Not more than five doctors have that kind of skill in this world. “Mr. Mumm, may I know who’s your mentor?” he probed.

“Self taught,” Claude replied. “Just some tricks I picked up along the way. I can teach you if you want, Mr. Gleeman.”
