"Lyse is like Dr. House. She gets excited at the sight of corpses," Axel couldn''t help but tease his sister.
"Did that guy drop dead just like that? By hitting his head against the divider?" Xavier grappled with the
lingering fear when he recalled the horrifying expression on that man.
Alyssa, having spent a mere few minutes with the corpse, suspected there was more to the man''s
death. She analyzed, "That might not be the case. Before he fainted, he exhibited symptoms of a
seizure.
"Besides, the muscles across his body contracted rhythmically while he lost consciousness. Epilepsy is
a usible cause of death, but we''ll need to wait for the post-mortem report."
"Epilepsy? People might think he overdosed." Axel pushed his tongue against his cheek, still indulging
in the scene out of a horror movie just now. "I had experience dealing with some drug addicts when I
was abroad. They looked exactly like the man just now when they were high or experienced withdrawal
symptoms—zombie-like."
Alyssa panted gently in Jasper''s embrace. Jasper lowered his gaze and wiped off the sweat on the tip
of her nose. He remarked, "Lyse, the man was from The Ivory Gang."
"The Ivory Gang?" Astonished, she gasped, "How did you know about it?" The Ivory Gang was run by
Colene''s family.
"I noticed the gang logo of The Ivory Gang on his shirt just now," Jasper revealed.
Axel snorted. "Oh, so he was one of the gang members, eh? An overdose sounds possible. Serves him
right."
"That''s impossible. Colene told me that doing drugs is banned in the gang. If any of their members are
found to be on drugs, they will be punished hard-handedly," Alyssa refuted Axel''s spection firmly.
"But that was the past. Marc Waters is now a dying man; he can no longer keep everyone in check. I
bet he can''t do much if one of his members wanted to break the rules behind his back." Squinting, Axel
let out a contemptuous chuckle.
"Axel, stop it. You''re talking about Colene''s dad. Show him some respect even if you disagree with his
actions."
"Not only is Marc Waters a gang leader, but his daughter willingly became the youngest wife of a
tycoon. Sorry, I might be too conservative, but I can''t show them any respect at all." Axel nced out of
the window, his tight jaw reflected on the ss.
It was evident to Jasper that Axel struggled to get over Winston''s subsequent marriages. Every time
the topic was breached, Axel would react with mockery and sarcasm.
"Colene is nice to Winston and me," Alyssa lowered her gaze and said in a feeble, glum voice, "She''s
had her uterus removed anyway, so she can''t have a child with Winston."
The mind-shattering revtion made Jasper''s eyes pop out. Even Xavier, shocked by the grave family
secret, stole asional nces through the rearview mirror.
"Hah. I guess my little sister is Mother Teresa, but unlike you, Ick empathy. I''m heartless. I can never
approve of a woman whopetes against my mom over a man.
"To me, she''s no different than Mandy Lovce and L Nelson." With that, Axel folded his arms on
his chest and shut his eyes, a sign to end the conversation.
Alyssa and Jasper exchanged nces before letting out helpless and bitter sighs.
Upon arriving at a private hospital with top-notch facilities, Alyssa went through the health checkups in
no time, as no queuing was needed. After the blood test, she rested in a room while hooked to an IV
drip.

After Alyssa drifted to sleep, Jasper sneaked out of the room, dodging Axel and Xavier''s notice. He
quietly arrived at the first floor and booked a consultation with a men''s health specialist.
