Nicole talked to some guy called X and hung up after a minute.

Ding!

Her phone chimed and giving it a look, she turned to Alex and said, "there's an Operating Room ready for you in the City Hospital along with a team of highly trained staff. You can start anytime."

Alex nodded. "Let's get moving then."

The City Hospital was a public hospital run by the city administration. It was present in all cities of the country and anyone could avail its facilities for a much cheaper price than the rest of the privately owned ones.

Getting to the hospital, Alex sent Nicole to get dressed and be prepared for her surgery while he went to the OR to set things up.

Alex had a small chat with the staff and told them what things were needed.

Nobody advised him anything and just followed his orders, even though they were kind of skeptical about the workings of a young doctor like Alex.

In any case, whatever happened to the patient, they weren't responsible anyway, so all was good.

The OR was well sterilized and the equipments were all set up.

Alex went to check up on Nicole in her room and saw she was wearing a loose hospital gown.

Alex had to ask her to take her gown down to see her breasts and with markers, he marked the place where the surgery had to be done.

Nicole was then made to lie on a stretcher and taken into the OR.

After getting a shot of anaesthesia, she was fast asleep and the operation started.

There wasn't much that was needed to be done in reality. It was just a tumour removal.

However, this small thing required great precision and care, otherwise just a little cut at it would make the tumour explode and spread into the bloodstream, causing the cancer to traverse through the whole body.

Alex made a cut at Nicole's breast with proper precision.

His Gene Cultivation had made his hands extremely steady.

The staff was surprised to see such steady hands and such precision. Not to mention, Alex was so young!

They continued to stare with amusement and in the next half an hour, Alex successfully removed the tumour and stitched the area back in place.

His stitching was so well done that it surprised the staff again. With the way Alex did the stitching, there won't be a big scar on Nicole's chest and just a small one.

Once the surgery was done and the tumour was taken out, Alex sighed in relief.

Nicole's life was totally out of danger now and he could go home.

Alex wanted to go home but he waited until Nicole woke up.

She was given anaesthesia for three hours and there was still quite some time left.

Alex went ahead and took a nap till she woke up.

A while later.

Nicole woke up and the first thing she saw was Alex looking at her.



"You're back in full health," were the first words from Alex after the surgery.

"Am I?" Nicole looked around and said. She looked down at her breasts and saw stitches present there.

Alex nodded. He walked close to her and gave her a phone to watch the operation that was done on her.

Nicole watched it and was surprised to see Alex work so skillfully. She couldn't believe herself that a person so young could perform such astonishing feats.

She put the phone down and looking at him, said, "I'm really amazed."

Alex nodded and didn't comment on it.

Nicole then said, "also, you mentioned that I am in full health, right?"

"Yes, you are."

"Then why am I on this bed?"

"Formality." Alex answered flatly.

Nicole sighed and looking down at her stitches, asked, "then, can I go home?"

"Yes. You can do pretty much everything now, just be mindful of the stitches lest they open up due to intense physical activities." Alex warned.

Nicole was happy to hear this and she got up from the bed. She told Alex that she'll be going home.

Alex agreed with it and after getting dressed, Nicole went out of the hospital and for the first time in a while, took the wheel and started driving.

She was happy with whatever happened and with a smile, said to Alex, "I'll call you later to take these stitches off."

Alex slumped back on the seat and said, "Sure. If I am free, I'll come. If I am not, just ask someone else."

Nicole shook her head. "You have to be the one to take it away or else I am keeping it this way."

Alex sighed and didn't argue with her. He just nodded his head in approval and tried to catch some sleep.

While the two were on their way home, sitting on a bench in a park far away, Nix, wearing black sunglasses and with a laptop on her lap, said in her earpiece,

"Join through the seventh entry, there's going to be a black Mercedes-Benz Amg. Kill with whatever means necessary."I think you should take a look at

On her laptop, she could see a map of the city and Alex's car driving on the road.

Her face had a neutral expression, but internally she was thinking, 'sigh… I hope this is my last attempt and husband accepts me. I'd rather team up with husband and go against my sisters than do the reverse thing.'

Despite not liking this, it was her husband's choice and she respected it and did her job.

Meanwhile, on Alex's side…

Screeeeech!

Alex was jolted awake by Nicole suddenly slamming the brakes hard and making the car drift.

"What…" Alex stopped with his question as he looked at the front. There were six armoured vehicles coming towards their car as he looked.

Nicole knitted her brows and shifting the gear to reverse and hitting the accelerator, she drifted the car around without caring for breaking the rules of the highway.

"I didn't expect company." She said with her brows knitted and drove off.

"Should I—"

"No. You've done enough already, let me take it from here." Nicole said, interrupting Alex.

She had no idea what Alex would do, but she wasn't going to take any more favors from him.

It was her time to give things back.

"Call X." Nicole said and on her car's dashboard, the call got connected to the person called X.

"Yes, Ma'am?"

"X, I've got company. Four armoured vehicles, highway number 5."

"Understood, Ma'am. Sending help in 3… 2…"

A mile away from Alex's car, three police officers were standing against their police car and eating donuts and having coffee.

It was a peaceful time until their receiver made a static noise and they heard:

"Officers closest to west bank highway 5 immediately head on the highway. I repeat officers…"

"What the—"

"There are four armoured vehicles, do everything you can to stop them."

"Shit, let's go." The officers shoved the donuts in their mouths, threw their coffee, and immediately drove off.

Within thirty seconds, Alex heard police sirens all around him followed by a chopper's noise.

He was really amused by this and thought to himself, 'just a day ago, these guys were attacking me, now, they're the ones defending me. How the tables have turned…'

Alex flashed a small smile and didn't comment on it.

He put on his seatbelt and held on for support. "Be careful and don't let your stitches open up."

"Yes, I am trying." Nicole answered hurriedly while distancing herself from the cars behind.

The police cars appeared on the highway one by one and they threw a bunch of stingers, hoping to deflate the tires.

It didn't work and the armoured vehicles were unscathed.

The sunroof of the armoured vehicle opened up and a man holding a rocket launcher appeared.

BOOM!

A police vehicle exploded as it got hit by the rocket launcher.

Nicole, watching it on the rear view mirror, clicked her tongue and said, "fucking shits."

BOOM!

Another rocket was sent towards the chopper but the pilot skillfully glided the chopper to the side and didn't get any damage.

The police officers started shooting the man with a rocket launcher and although it was unsuccessful, under the torrent of bullets, the man went down in the car and hid himself.

"X, deploy the army." Nicole didn't want the situation to escalate any further.

In major cities of the country, the army laid undercover in case of any emergencies.

The army wasn't present in one area, but was in small pockets strategically spread according to the city size and area.

There was an air base near Austin since it was the capital of Texas and the Air Force was alerted by Nicole.

"…Air support arriving at T-10… 9…"

Far away from Nicole…

'They're getting air support and the army trucks?' Nix thought to herself. 'Nothing to worry…'

She flashed a small smile and typing in a few things on her computer, hit the enter button finally and flashed an evil smile.

'Let's see how you're gonna compete with this.'
