22: Chapter 022: The Mysterious Man!
The car was driving smoothly on the road.
Lionel Yeager sat in the back seat, staring out the window in a daze.
Julia Stewart was watching Lionel, wanting to say something but hesitating.
Lionel turned his head, smiled gently, and said, “Wife, just say what’s on your mind.”
Julia’s face reddened, and she said, “Don’t call me that!
I’m not your wife yet!”
Lionel shrugged and said, “You’re engaged to me, so how are you not my wife?”
“This is engagement, not marriage!”
Feeling her face burning, Julia said, “Anyway, don’t call me wife in the future.
Just call me by my name!”
Lionel nodded with a smile, “Alright, I got it.”
Julia took a deep breath, looked at Lionel with a watery gaze, and said, “Lionel, I didn’t expect you to be good at medical skills and martial arts.
I’m very curious, is there anything you can’t do?”
Lionel laughed and said, “Martial arts, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, geomancy metaphysics, Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Myth Gate Invisible Shield…I know them all.”
Julia rolled her eyes at Lionel.
“I’m really not bragging.”
Lionel spread his hands and laughed, “Julia, in the future, you’ll find out that everything I say is true.”
“Alright, I’ll wait and see!”
Julia nodded her head.
Although she had only spent a few days with this man, she felt that he was like a mystery, a treasure waiting to be discovered.
She looked at Lionel’s side profile with a gentle gaze, secretly thinking, “Lionel, how many more surprises will you bring me in the future?”
Early the next morning.
8 Divine River Garden Villa.
Lionel exhaled a turbid breath and woke up from cultivation.
Feeling his cultivation level, Lionel shook his head.
There was still no progress.
It seemed that he needed to speed up the collection of medicinal materials and refine the Gathering Spirit Pill as soon as possible.
Since Joan Holman and Cyril Clancy wanted to be his apprentices, he might as well take them in and guide them.
In this way, they could also help him collect medicinal materials.
Lionel got out of bed and washed up, then went to the courtyard and practiced a set of boxing.
After finishing the boxing, Lionel went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
When it was ready, Julia, wearing a black professional suit with a chiffon shirt inside, her ample chest accentuated and her hair tied in a ponytail, came downstairs.
Seeing the breakfast on the table, Julia looked surprised, “Did you make all of these?”
Lionel nodded, “Sit down and have breakfast.”
Julia sat down, curious, and asked, “You can even cook?”
Lionel helplessly said, “I lived with my master in the mountains.
I’ve been cooking since I was a child, and I naturally learned.”
Julia nodded, then took a bite of the fried egg, and her eyes suddenly brightened, “The taste is quite good!”
Lionel grinned, “Didn’t I tell you before?
There’s nothing I can’t do!”
“You’re getting cocky just because I praised you a bit.”
Julia rolled her eyes at Lionel, and then said, “By the way, starting today, you’ll follow me to the company.”
Lionel was taken aback, “I don’t know anything about business.
Why should I go to the company with you?”
Julia squinted her beautiful eyes and said, “Didn’t you just say that there’s nothing you can’t do?”
Lionel was speechless.
Julia smiled and said, “From now on, you’ll be my assistant.
You’ll do whatever I ask you to do.
Also, since you’re so skilled, you can be my bodyguard.
If anyone dares to bully me, you’ll beat them up.”
With that, Julia Stewart playfully waved her fist.
Lionel Yeager patted his chest with assurance, “No one will dare to bully you with me around!”
Hearing the man’s assurance, Julia felt a sense of Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!
Just then, the doorbell rang.
“Who could it be this early?”
Julia, puzzled, quickly went to answer the door.
As soon as she opened the door, Julia beamed with joy, “Moris, you’re here!”
Nancy Maddox, seated in a wheelchair, blinked and smiled, “I’m going to need your help for a while.”
Julia said, “No trouble at all, come on in.”
A female assistant dressed in a professional suit pushed the wheelchair inside.
The driver brought in Nancy’s luggage.
Nancy greeted Lionel with a smile.
“Good morning, Miss Maddox!”
Lionel responded with a smile.
After the driver had moved the luggage, he left.
Nancy introduced, “Julia, Mr.
Yeager, this is my assistant, Silvia Warren.
She’ll also be staying here to help me, and I hope it won’t disturb you.”
Julia shook her head and said, “Having more people around actually makes the place livelier.”
Then, she invited, “Moris, Assistant Warren, you guys haven’t had breakfast yet, right?
Nancy was surprised, “Julia, did you make this?”
Julia stuck out her tongue, “You know I can’t make breakfast.
Nancy looked at Lionel with a gentle smile, “Mr.
Yeager, there aren’t many men who can cook nowadays.
However, with your skills, Julia doesn’t need to learn.”
Lionel replied with a smile, “It’s fine.
I’m willing to cook for Julia for a lifetime.”
Julia’s face flushed crimson, and she playfully retorted, “Well, I’m not willing!”
Nancy sighed lightly, “Seeing how happy you two are, I can’t help but feel envious.
I wonder when I’ll find my other half.”
Julia said, “Moris, once your legs are better, there will be countless people chasing after you.”
“Miss Maddox, rest assured, I will definitely cure you and help you stand up again.”
Lionel gave Nancy a reassuring look, then continued, “After breakfast, we’ll start the first round of treatment.”
Nancy nodded her head.
The group proceeded to the living room.
Lionel took out a box of silver needles he had bought at the medical hall earlier and said, “Julia, could you please lift Miss Maddox’s skirt?”
Julia nodded, then lifted Nancy’s skirt, revealing her legs.
Immediately, Lionel knelt down, pinched a silver needle, infused it with True Qi, and accurately pricked one of the acupoints on Nancy’s leg!
As the silver needle accurately pierced the acupoint, it began to tremble gently!
Seeing this, both Nancy and Silvia were filled with shock!
“This is incredible, isn’t it?”
Nancy couldn’t help but exclaim.
Several famous traditional medicine practitioners had treated her before, but she had never seen anyone with such extraordinary acupuncture skills.
