- Mystic Healer

"Miss, the River City Lord and River City's business circle want to invite you to dinner," Mabel Sean's secretary suddenly announced.

Mabel Sean resumed her typical cold demeanor.

"Reject them all, take Mason Raymond to the hospital first," she commanded icily.

The secretary smiled awkwardly. "Miss, you...aren't really going to marry such a loser, are you?"

A flash of frost passed through Mabel Sean's eyes at these words.

"Do I need your approval for my decisions?" she replied coldly.

The secretary's expression changed instantly. He hurriedly slapped himself. "Miss, I... overstepped my bounds."

After he spoke, Mabel Sean covered her mouth with her delicate hand and began coughing violently.

"Miss, it's time for your medicine..." The secretary quickly reminded her.

"Start the car," Mabel Sean ordered expressionlessly, ignoring his concerns.

The vehicle sped toward the hospital.

Meanwhile, I drifted in unconsciousness, lost in what seemed like a dream.

I floated in an endless pitch-black void.

Within this darkness stood a man, staring at me with cold eyes.

He had an imposing figure and carried himself with sovereign authority, like a god descended to earth! His presence commanded absolute reverence!

"Where...where is this? And who are you?" I asked, feeling panicked.

The man turned, fixing me with his icy gaze.

"I never thought my son would be such a loser," he stated coldly.

Son?

His words pierced my heart like a dagger!

Since childhood, I'd never seen my parents!

Family affection was something I desperately longed for but could never grasp!

Though I'd never seen this man before, I felt an inexplicable connection to him!

"Are you...my father? Dad, I've missed you so much..." I anxiously reached out, trying to touch him.

But my hand passed straight through his form.

"At thirty, a man should have accomplished something. My inheritance is now yours," the man said without emotion.

"If you remain a failure, the Sean family will support you for life, and I'll never see you."

"If you have ambition, nothing in this world can stop you!"

"I look forward to meeting you."

As he finished speaking, the scene before me began to dissolve.

I screamed like a madman: "Dad, don't go, Dad!!"

But no matter how I shouted, I couldn't prevent the scene from vanishing.

I collapsed to my knees, tears filling my eyes, overcome by unbearable pain.

I had always dreamed of meeting my birth parents, wanting to share my troubles like others could.

But nothing I did stopped the scene from crumbling away.

Suddenly, mysterious knowledge flooded into my mind!

Sacred medical arts, cultivation methods, ancient and modern arcane techniques...

In my dantian, a hint of green energy slowly circulated.

Before I could react, everything went black.

When I regained consciousness, I was lying on an enormous double bed.

Before me stood a girl with flowing long hair and slender legs.

"You're awake?" Mabel Sean examined me carefully, as if trying to see through me.

I hurriedly sat up and nervously asked, "Who... who are you?"

Mabel didn't rush to reveal her identity. "My name is Mabel. I found you collapsed on the street and saved you."

"But what's strange is... the doctor says there's nothing wrong with you." Mabel blinked curiously, studying me.

I frowned slightly, murmuring, "Could it be that wasn't just a dream?"

With this thought, I quickly closed my eyes.

Indeed! The memories remained! They seemed to be merging with my own!

And the energy in my dantian showed no signs of disappearing!

"It's really... true!" Hope ignited in my heart after such desperation! Medical scriptures, cultivation techniques... all these could help me completely transform my situation!

"I saved you, and you're not even going to say thank you? How rude." Mabel Sean rolled her eyes.

Only then did I snap back to reality. I quickly stood and bowed to her, saying awkwardly, "Mis...Miss Mabel, thank you for saving me..."

Seeing my embarrassment, Mabel couldn't help but laugh.

For some reason, she seemed to find my awkwardness endearing.

"Alright, I was just teasing you," Mabel waved dismissively.

After speaking, she covered her mouth and started coughing violently.

At that moment, a man dressed like a doctor entered the room.

"Miss, it's time for your medicine," he announced, carrying a medical box.

Mabel nodded.

Warm water was already prepared on the table, and the doctor arranged numerous medications.

I watched Mabel, and countless medical texts suddenly appeared in my mind.

This excited me tremendously.

After hesitating briefly, I approached and asked, "Miss Mabel, are you unwell?"

Mabel glanced at me and replied casually, "Yeah, I have asthma. Since childhood."

Asthma!

Instantly, a treatment method materialized in my thoughts!

However, years of diminished self-confidence made me hesitant to speak up.

I simply stood there, watching Mabel consume all the medicine on the table.

But after taking the medication, her symptoms showed no improvement.

I took a deep breath, mustering courage to step forward. "Miss Mabel, would you let me try? Perhaps I can cure your condition."

Hearing this, surprise flashed through Mabel's beautiful eyes.

She laughed. "Asthma is incurable. You should know that, right?"

I quickly explained, "I don't know how to explain it, but... I'd like to try. Maybe it'll work..."

Mabel's brow furrowed slightly.

Even the doctor scoffed, "Kid, you're not even a physician. What makes you think you can cure her?"

My face turned completely red with embarrassment.

"I've seen many like you. You just think our miss is pretty and want to take advantage," the doctor continued.

"If I'm not mistaken, your treatment requires skin-to-skin contact, right?"

I opened my mouth, forcing myself to admit, "It does need..."

"Hahaha, Miss, see? This kid is nothing but a despicable wimp," the doctor sneered.

Mabel's expression grew colder.

She fixed me with a hard stare. "Do you know the consequences of trying to take advantage of me?"

I hurriedly defended myself, "No... that's not it. I really don't want to take advantage. I can actually cure your disease!"

"What nonsense," the doctor snorted.

"Although asthma isn't serious, it's a chronic problem that's difficult to cure! Miss, I suggest cutting off this kid's hand and throwing him out!" he said coldly.

Mabel remained silent.

She examined me thoroughly, contemplating something.

"I can give you a chance," she finally declared.

"But if there's no effect, you'll face dire consequences." Mabel blinked meaningfully.

I could tell Mabel wasn't someone to trifle with, but at that moment, I felt completely confident.

I was eager to test whether the medical knowledge in my mind was genuine.

"Alright!" I nodded vigorously.

"Miss, you really believe him? He's obviously..."

"Shut up!" The doctor wanted to continue, but Mabel's sharp rebuke silenced him.

He immediately fell quiet, reluctantly stepping aside.

"How should I cooperate, Dr. Mason?" Mabel asked playfully.

My face flushed red, and I whispered, "I... I need to place my hand on your chest..."

After saying this, my face burned all the way to my neck.

I lowered my head, unable to ignore the snowy white expanse of Mabel's chest—truly a beautiful sight.

- Divine Touch

"Kid, you really have some nerve!" The doctor exploded with fury!

In their hearts, Mabel Sean was an untouchable goddess, a heavenly beauty! How could they tolerate someone like me dishonoring her?

Even Mabel's bodyguards stepped forward in unison, ready to pounce!

Mabel looked at me with an icy expression on her face.

After a moment of silence, Mabel finally agreed.

Mabel lay on the bed, her white chest exposed before me.

I felt my cheeks burning red as I approached her.

"Miss Mabel, I... pardon me," I whispered.

Gathering my courage, I reached out my hand and slowly placed it on Mabel's body.

Mabel was simply breathtaking! Compared to her, Lyla Lucas couldn't even compare!

And her figure was truly extraordinary, making it nearly impossible for anyone to maintain their composure in her presence.

The doctor and bodyguards nearby were practically bulging their eyes out.

If it weren't for Mabel's forbearance, they probably would have torn me into pieces!

I suppressed my wild thoughts and focused on stabilizing my mind.

Following the method in the medical scriptures, I channeled the qi in my dantian like a swimming dragon and put it to use.

A warm current flowed from my palm and slowly entered Mabel's body.

Mabel only felt warmth, her entire body slightly heated, as if she was submerged in a hot spring.

Time ticked by, and sweat began to roll down my forehead.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed.

This made Mabel somewhat angry.

There had to be a limit to taking advantage! Wasn't it enough?

Moreover, besides the warmth in her body, Mabel hardly noticed any improvement!

On the contrary, she felt breathless and stifled in her chest, unable to help but cough!

"It seems that grandpa really overestimated him," Mabel secretly thought to herself.

At this moment, I finally took my hand away from Mabel's body.

Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I whispered, "Miss Mabel, I've just finished your treatment. You should recover in about ten minutes."

Mabel sat up on the bed and couldn't help but sneer, "Ten minutes to recover? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

After saying this, Mabel coughed violently again, her face turning somewhat pale.

I stood there, looking uneasy and not knowing where to put my hands.

"Miss, let us chop him up!" The burly bodyguards shouted.

However, Mabel waved her hand and glanced at the clock on the wall, saying, "I'll give him ten minutes."

I was also unsure deep down.

This fantastic encounter made it hard for me to distinguish between reality and a dream.

The bodyguards came forward and surrounded me, as if fearing that I would run away.

In the blink of an eye, nine minutes had passed.

Mabel looked at the clock and coldly said, "It seems you really are lying to me. How was it? Did you enjoy touching me?"

I couldn't help but give a bitter smile, knowing that there was no point in explaining myself at this point, so I simply said nothing.

The bodyguards stepped forward, seemingly ready to take action.

There was no panic on my face.

I had completely lost hope in the world. Death, perhaps, would be a relief.

"Forget it." At this point, Mabel waved her hand.

"For some reason, I'll spare your life, but don't let me see you again," Mabel said coldly.

I didn't say much; I stood up and bowed to Mabel.

"Miss Mabel, I'm sorry for bothering you," I said. After that, I turned around and prepared to leave.

"Miss, are we really letting him go?" After I left, the bodyguards said with dissatisfaction.

Mabel glanced at them without saying a word.

"Consider it a favor to his father," Mabel sighed with some regret, but there was still a hint of disappointment on her face.

Because before she came to River City, her grandpa had praised Mason Raymond to the skies, which filled Mabel's heart with expectations.

"Grandpa, it seems you really misjudged him," Mabel sighed softly.

At this moment, Mabel suddenly felt a wave of warmth!

Then, she coughed once – a mouthful of black filth spat out from her mouth!

"Miss, are you alright?"

"What the hell did that guy do! I'm going to catch him right now!"

"I want to skin him alive!"

Mabel, however, quickly waved her hand.

She felt her chest, surprised to find that the suffocating sensation that had lingered for years was gone! The itchiness in her throat had also completely disappeared!

"It really worked?" A touch of surprise appeared on Mabel's cold and beautiful face.

"Quick, go and bring him back!" Mabel hurriedly ordered.

- Unexpected Ally

Although the bodyguards didn't understand the situation, they didn't dare to go against Mabel Sean's wishes and quickly chased after me.

I wandered aimlessly along the street, feeling completely desperate. Where should I go? Home? That definitely wasn't an option. Would I end up living on the streets?

"Dad, I've let you down," I thought of the man in my dream.

Just then, a Bentley drove up swiftly, blocking my way!

Four or five bodyguards jumped out of the car.

"Don't go!" The bodyguards blocked my path.

"Miss Sean wants you to go back with us," they said expressionlessly.

I thought Mabel wouldn't let me off the hook, so I said with a bitter smile, "I'll take responsibility for what I've done. I'll go back with you."

So, I got into the car with them.

There was silence throughout the ride.

Soon, a burly bodyguard gripped my arm and brought me before Mabel.

"Miss Sean, I've caught him for you!" The bodyguard pushed me in front of Mabel.

Mabel frowned slightly.

She slowly stood up and walked to the bodyguard.

"Who told you to treat him like this?" Mabel asked coldly.

The bodyguard was taken aback, stammering, "I...I..."

"Apologize to Mr. Raymond," Mabel said coldly.

"Miss Sean, I..."

"I told you to apologize!" Mabel interrupted the bodyguard's words with a sharp rebuke!

The bodyguard's face turned red.

Apologizing to someone like me clearly went against his will.

But no one dared to disobey Mabel's orders, so he reluctantly bowed down.

"So...sorry, Mr. Raymond," the bodyguard bent down, not even daring to raise his head.

I quickly replied, "Miss Sean, it's fine. It's not his fault. Please, let him stand up..."

Mabel finally nodded and coldly said, "You all can leave now."

Everyone left the room one after another.

Mabel opened a bottle of red wine, poured a glass for me, and then smiled, "I never expected that you'd be a skillful doctor."

I was surprised and asked happily, "Miss Sean, does that mean... your illness is cured?"

"Or what?" Now it was Mabel's turn to be surprised.

"That's great, that's great!" My heart was reignited in an instant!

It seemed that everything was real!

"But I'm curious, with your medical skills, how did you end up like this?" Mabel asked with interest.

I sighed softly upon hearing her words.

"Miss Sean, I don't know how to explain it to you..." I said with a bitter smile.

I couldn't say that I had a dream and suddenly acquired medical skills, right? People would think I'm a fool if I said that.

However, Mabel thought I was just being modest and low-key, which instead increased her liking for me.

"Skillful but unprincipled?" Mabel joked.

I gave an awkward laugh but didn't speak.

"Tell me, how do you want me to repay you? Money? Or something else?" Mabel asked playfully, as if hinting at something.

But I quickly waved my hands, "Miss Sean, I don't need anything. You saved me; I should be the one repaying you."

"Really? You don't want anything?" Mabel smiled.

"No matter what it is, I can agree to it, you know," Mabel's eyes were filled with anticipation.

I still shook my head, "I really don't need anything. Thank you for your kindness."

Hearing my answer, a glimmer of surprise flashed in Mabel's eyes.

Just then, my phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller ID, my face didn't look too good.

It was a phone call from Lyla Lucas.

I answered the phone and walked aside.

Once the call connected, Lyla's harsh voice came through, "Are you dead yet? If you're not dead, hurry up and get back here!"

Such coldness angered me.

I gritted my teeth and said, "After what you've done, why should I go back?"

Lyla on the other end burst into laughter.

"Mason Raymond, don't tell me you thought I wanted you to come back? I'm telling you to come back to sign our divorce papers!" Lyla sneered.

"You better not cling to me, or Harvey Brown will kill you!" Lyla snorted.

My fists clenched unconsciously.

I gritted my teeth and said, "Lyla, you're an animal! Don't worry, I won't bother you! But I'm telling you, you'll definitely regret this!"

"Heh, the thing I regret the most is marrying a loser like you," Lyla sneered.

Then, she hung up the phone.

My expression was complicated.

It was impossible not to have feelings after three years.

But more than that, it was humiliation and anger.

"What's wrong?" Mabel asked with a smile as she took a sip of red wine.

I shook my head and said, "Miss Sean, I... I need to go home. There's something I have to deal with..."

Mabel blinked and asked, "Divorce?"

I was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

"I guessed," Mabel casually replied.

"I'll go with you," Mabel stood up and offered.

"No...no need," I waved my hands hastily.

Mabel persistently replied, "I'll go with you. Don't make a fuss."

With no other choice, I followed Mabel out of the house.

As soon as we stepped out, Mabel's secretary approached her.

He whispered into Mabel's ear, "Miss Sean, the Chuzzle Province governor and the commander of the Chuzzle Battle Zone have arrived and invited you to a dinner..."

Hearing this, Mabel couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

She rubbed her pale forehead and muttered, "What a bother... tell them to wait a bit. I'll be there later."

"Yes, Miss," the secretary nodded in response.

Afterward, Mabel drove up to me.

"Get in," Mabel beckoned with her hand.

I couldn't refuse and got into the car.

Soon, I arrived at the Lucas family's entrance.

"Miss Sean, I'm home. Thank you for bringing me here," I got out of the car and said politely.

To my surprise, Mabel also got out of the car.

She flicked her hair back and smiled generously, "I'll come in with you."

"Huh?" I was taken aback.

Mabel smiled, "I want to see what your family is like."
