Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1066

Alex's eyes rolled back at hearing Caleb's words. He nearly fainted. His stomach hurt even more now.

Fortunately, Shannon spoke up, "Relax. It's just pseudocyesis. There's no baby in there."

Just as Alex was about to let out a secret sigh of relief, she added, "But I can't say if there's anything else in your stomach."

She proceeded to explain the situation with the drug. The Jensens started worrying for Alex after learning that it was created by a demon.

Alex was the most terrified. He forgot how dismissive he'd been of Shannon and quickly asked, "Since you know so much, Shannon, you must have a way to help me, right?"

Shannon shook her head. "If it were supernatural energy or malevolent energy, I might be able to dispel it. But there's nothing I can do since you've ingested it." She wasn't specialized in medicine, after all.

Alex started panicking at hearing that even Shannon couldn't help. In his panic, he reverted to his old domineering ways. "How could there be nothing you can do? Aren't you supposed to be skilled in mystic arts? Can't you even handle something like this?"

Then, he shot Shannon a suspicious gaze and added, "You're not refusing to help on purpose, are you?"

George's face darkened. He sternly said, "Alex! Shannon said there's nothing you can do, so that's the end of it.

"When are you going to start behaving like a proper adult?"

All Alex knew was to act superior, and he couldn't even speak decently.

Alex felt wronged. How was he not behaving like an adult? He believed that Shannon wasn't showing him the proper respect he deserved.
