Arrogant Healer God Chapter 1 - 1 001 The
“Brat, I've got some urgent business to handle and can't look after you any longer, so head down the mountain and wander about…”
“Don't forget, eighteen years back, I arranged a marriage pact with River City's Lewis Family.
Make sure you visit the Lewis family and uphold that engagement…”
“By the way, over these recent years, your five senior sisters kept inquiring when you'd descend the mountain.
If you've got the chance, drop by to see them—they miss you terribly…”
“Also, a few years ago, I established a massive global organization.
With me gone, it's under your command now…”
“Finally, regarding your personal matter.
If you fail to locate a suitable partner for your innate pure yang body in three years, you're toast…”
On the road leading to River City.
Lionel Yeager reclined in the rear seat of a striking red Maserati President, staring at the landscapes flashing by the window, pondering the instructions Neal Koontz had given before sending him off the mountain.
No one knew what pressing affairs had forced Neal Koontz to depart in such haste.
Two women occupied the vehicle.
A youthful lady handled the driving.
Beside him sat a sophisticated woman.
The young driver boasted shoulder-length flowing hair, a delicate melon seed face, and a custom beige business suit that accentuated her lithe silhouette.
The elegant woman sported her lustrous black tresses pulled into a ponytail, an exquisite oval visage, a snug black cheongsam hugging her body, and voluptuous allure reminiscent of a succulent peach.
These ladies' looks and physiques ranked them as supreme among beauties.
Shortly before, he had rescued them from a band of bandits.
In gratitude, they offered to drive him all the way to River City.
He pondered how his betrothed child bride's attractiveness stacked up against these stunning pair.
Earlier, the driving young lady remarked, “Sir, thanks for saving us back there.
Without you, my aunt and I would've been in real peril.”
Lionel Yeager waved it off, “No big deal; no thanks required.”
“Sir, I'm Julia Stewart.
This is my aunt, Julie Stewart.”
After introducing herself and her aunt, the young woman inquired, “May I have your name?”
“Lionel Yeager,” he answered.
“Mr.
Yeager, heading to River City for employment?”
Julia questioned, then offered, “Should you need work, we can set something up for you.”
“Exactly.
And if lodging's an issue, we'll sort that too,” Julie added.
Judging by Lionel's modest clothing, the women figured he sought opportunities in River City.
“Not job hunting,” Lionel denied with a headshake.
“I'm off to River City to honor my betrothal to Miss Cindy Lewis from the Lewis family.”
“What?!!
Betrothal to the Lewis Family's Miss?!”
Julia went rigid, disbelief flooding her gaze.
Julie eyed him oddly as well.
While not rivaling the Stewart Family's fortune, the Lewis Family held third-tier status in River City among the elite.
It strained credulity that this fellow professed to wed into the Lewis family.
Noticing their skeptical expressions, Lionel challenged, “Don't buy it?”
Julia and Julie stayed silent, clearly skeptical.
Lionel shrugged indifferently, “Up to you whether you believe it.
But it's all factual.”
The pair ceased probing, dismissing Lionel's words as boastful nonsense.
After all, Cindy Lewis was the prized daughter of the Lewis Family.
Lionel, meanwhile, appeared as an ordinary rural lad.
They hailed from utterly different realms, unlikely to cross paths, much less share a marriage vow.
During the journey, Lionel exchanged sporadic banter with the duo.
Over an hour later, they reached River City's downtown.
Yet right then, Julie gripped her chest abruptly, gasping for air, drenched in cold sweat, face ashen from intense agony.
“Auntie, what's happening?”
Julia panicked and yanked the car to the curb.
Julie murmured feebly, “Julia, it's nothing; just my chronic condition flaring up.
I'll see a doctor at the hospital soon…”
Yeager smirked and quipped, “Beauty, keep this up, and you might not make it to the hospital alive.”
“What are you implying?!”
Julia bristled immediately.
Aside from her grandfather, no one treated her as tenderly as Aunt Julie Stewart!
She refused to let harm befall her aunt.
Julie’s brows knitted together faintly, obviously unhappy with Yeager’s statement.
“Your aunt has endured myocarditis for no less than three years.”
Yeager cast a glance at Julie before going on, “Whenever it flares up, her heart twists in agony, breathing becomes labored, potentially causing suffocation.
Today’s attack is at minimum ten times more severe than previous ones, explaining her extreme weakness.
She’s got roughly ten minutes remaining; without intervention, death will follow inevitably.”
“What rubbish are you spouting!”
Julia flared up abruptly, “My aunt merely suffers from asthma…”
Right then, Julie’s mind reeled in utter shock.
She stared at Yeager in disbelief, her voice quivering, “Mr.
Yeager, how did you know about my myocarditis?”
“I picked up some medical techniques from the old man,” Yeager responded.
Julia froze for a second but grasped it swiftly.
She pressed urgently, “Aunt, what’s happening?
Why hide it from me all this time?
You kept insisting it was simple asthma.”
*Cough cough…*
Julie tried to respond, yet violent coughs seized her suddenly.
Her face drained to a ghostly pallor, her frame shuddering fiercely.
“Aunt, what’s happening to you!”
Julia hurriedly steadied the faltering Julie, her worry intensifying.
“Don’t frighten me; I can’t survive without my aunt!”
“Mr.
Yeager, you diagnosed my aunt’s illness so precisely—do you have a cure for her?”
Julia gazed at Yeager, tears brimming in her eyes.
“Save my aunt, and no cost is too high.”
Yeager nodded, stating, “I’ve got urgent matters, so I can merely ease your aunt’s condition temporarily.”
“Thank you, Mr.
Yeager.”
Julia’s turmoil eased somewhat.
In that instant, Yeager extended his right hand toward the mature beauty’s chest region.
“What do you think you’re doing?!”
Julia yelped in alarm at the sight.
She had placed such faith in him, never imagining such indecent behavior!
Yeager wore a resigned look as he explained, “Relax, with the beauty’s heart afflicted, treatment must target that area.”
Julia fixed Yeager with an icy glare, “Dare to exploit my aunt deliberately, and you’ll face unbearable repercussions!”
Yeager simply grinned without further words.
He lifted his right hand, pinched his index finger and thumb, circulated the true qi within his body, and pressed an acupoint beside Julie’s heart!
This was a hidden method from Neal Koontz’s “The Medical Immortal’s Treasure,” known as the Heaven and Earth Acupoint Hand!
The moment Yeager’s finger made contact, a wave of softness hit him, stirring his thoughts wildly!
The insensate Julie shuddered as if shocked by electricity, numbness spreading through her body while her cheeks flushed crimson.
Yeager steadied his focus and pressed the woman’s heart zone once more, retracting his hand promptly.
All at once, the unconscious Julie’s coughing halted, her color normalizing.
Yeager informed Julia, “Little miss, your aunt’s stabilized now.
I must leave; farewell.”
With those words, Yeager flung open the car door and departed.
Julia remained fixated on Julie, oblivious to Yeager slipping away.
At that juncture, Julie’s eyes fluttered open, prompting Julia to ask hastily, “Aunt, how do you feel now?”
