Chapter 82 Elysian Yu
Seeing Daniel grab her foot so unexpectedly, Brittany panicked.
“Jerk, what do you think you’re doing?”
“Despite your constant troublemaking, I’m a man and won’t hold it against you. After all, we’re colleagues. You’ve twisted your ankle, and It just so happens I’m a doctor, so I’ll help you out. Consider it a favor for Jessica’s sake, not yours, so no need for thanks.”
With a swift motion, Daniel adjusted her ankle.
“Crack!”
“Ah! You jerk, are you trying to kill me?”
Brittany let out a piercing scream. However, she soon realized that her ankle was no longer in pain. She moved her foot, and it felt as if it had never been injured.
*All good.”
Daniel stood up and then left. Brittany, still reeling from the swift recovery, was ready to unleash her fury on him, but Daniel was already out of earshot.
–
Daniel found himself at The Jade the only jade market in New York, abundant with a variety of stones. Nonetheless, the market was chaotic, and those not well–versed in jade could easily be swindled.
After strolling through the market without spotting anything worthwhile, he was about to leave when he noticed a crowd gathered around a particular spot, piqued by curiosity to see what was happening.
A portly middle–aged man lay on the ground, his skin as black as coal, his body convulsing uncontrollably. It was Chris, the chairman of Prospera Group and the richest man in Florida. Beside him stood a woman in a silk suit, frantic with worry. She was Chris’s only daughter, Isabella Evans, recognized as Florida’s most beautiful woman.
“Dad, what’s wrong? Dad, wake up! I’m scared!”
Despite Isabella’s calls, Chris remained unconscious. She quickly dialed 911, and just as she finished the emergency call, a mysterious old man with a white beard approached.
“Young lady, your father might not survive until the ambulance arrives. I might be the only one who can save him.”
“May I ask who you are?”
“River Yu.”
River Yu? The name rang a bell for Isabella.
After a moment of mental recalibration, she remembered. “You’re Florida’s number one doctor. The Elysian Yu?”
“That’s me.”
Relief washed over Isabella as if she had found a lifebuoy while drowning: “Elysian Yu, please save my
father!”
“No need to panic. My family has been in medicine for generations; I am the eighteenth. I learned the art of healing from a young age to cure and save lives. Encountering your father’s acute illness today, I certainly cannot stand idly by. Rest assured, I can save him.”
River then had some people lift Chris onto a nearby stone table and sat on a stone bench to check his pulso
Daniel immediately realized upon first sight of Chris that he had been cursed. As River checked the man’s pulse, his index finger lightly vibrated, tapping on Chris’s wrist – it was a technique to soothe the curse
within him.
