‘Who is that man?’
‘Why is he with Cheryl at this hour?’
‘Is he really her boyfriend?’
Alex didn’t quite believe this. He knew who Cheryl was, and her feelings towards him were indeed genuine. They just couldn’t get past the last stage due to many reasons, but they knew that they just had to wait for the right time.
‘Could something have happened to her?’ Thinking about this, Alex started panicking.
He had seen quite a few articles saying that a man had killed his own wife and used her identity to keep posting online to create an illusion as if they were still alive.
However, Cheryl had received the legacy of the Immortal Doctor and had Guilherme Extraordinaire at her side. Moreover, she had the Galactic Protection Amulet he gave her as well.
This whole while, Alex never noticed the feeling of the amulet shattering. If he did, he would’ve felt as if his heart had dropped.
‘It couldn’t have been Colton’s men, right?’
Alex shook the thought off as soon as it came up.
If it really were Colton’s men, they would have never spoken to him with that attitude.
“Sword of the Universe!”
Alex decided to stop guessing and called out his sword. Hopping on to it, be rushed towards Cheryl’s home. He didn’t enter but hovered in the air, releasing his divine sense instead, scanning the entire house…
He noticed that James was still sleeping whereas Granny Coney had woken up. She had just gotten out of bed and was brushing her teeth…
But there was no sign of Cheryl.
‘Where would she have gone?’
‘Oh right! I could try to sense the amulet!’
Following the phoenix, Alex finally found Cheryl. She was currently wearing a white doctor’s robe, standing in front of a rack of experiment equipment, seemingly busy. Guilherme, the previous Immortal Doctor, was there as well.
‘How is this sleeping?’
‘What the f*ck, who is that man who picked up the call?’
‘He made me panic for nothing. I really thought I had been cheated on!’
Alex stood on the flying sword and waved his hand gently, turning the small, light phoenix into smoke as it vanished in thin air.
He watched her silently from afar. She seemed so focused on work, running experiments even at this hour. It was obvious that she was pulling an all-nighter. Alex even noticed that she seemed skinnier than before, her chin appearing even pointier now. The sight of her broke his heart.
Just then, Guilherme noticed Alex. He lifted his head to see Alex floating in the air outside. Overjoyed, he immediately informed Cheryl.
“What?” Cheryl gasped as she looked towards the direction Guilherme pointed and met eyes with Alex.
