This multi-million dollar priced luxury car was slowly driving on the road.
"Miss, the River City Lord and River City's business giants want to invite you to dinner," the secretary beside Emily Taylor's said.
As the person in charge of the Taylor Family's business activities in River City this time, Emily is being watched by many forces, and these local family know that if they can work with such a powerful family, it will be especially helpful to their family.
From the moment she'd entered River City, countless of invitation calls had been made to the secretary
Emily Taylor resumed her usual indifference, this well-known businesswoman shook her head and coldly said, "Reject them all, take Ethan Smith to the hospital first."
According to her grandfather's instructions, Ethan is much more important than those hypocritical businessmen.
"Miss, you...you are really going to marry such an ordinary man? Before, no matter how prominent family of young masters, the proud son of heaven, powerful people, to show you love, you all disdain, but now..."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..."
A sharp cough interrupted the secretary.
Emily covered her mouth, a look of pain spreading across her pretty face.
Secretary's face changed drastically, miss's illness had recurred again, she said worriedly, "Miss, you should take today's medicine, your illness..."
"Continue driving!"
...
Ethan Smith felt like he was dreaming while he was in a state of unconsciousness.
The heat of the jade pendant flowed through his body.
In the dream, everything was pitch-black no matter where Ethan looked.
Until a strange and familiar man's figure appeared ahead.
He was a tall and imposing man with a gallant stature and a domineering aura, as if a true god had descended.
Inspiring unparalleled reverence, causing people to have a powerful urge to resist worship him...
"Where...where is here? Who are you?" Ethan Smith said in anxiety, somewhat panicky.
The man turned in Ethan's direction, coldly looking at Ethan Smith.
"I never thought that my son would be such a wimp."
Son?
Hearing this, Ethan Smith's heart felt as if it had been fiercely stabbed by something!
Since he was a child, Ethan Smith had never seen his parents!
As for family affection, it was something he longed for but could never reach!
Although Ethan had never seen the man standing before him, he could feel an indescribable sense of closeness.
"Are you my father?! Dad, I've missed you so much... " Ethan stretched out his hand eagerly, trying to touch his father, but it went right through the man.
"Going through so much pain only makes you stronger, Storms that don't kill the grass only make it grow taller and lusher. For some reason, I can't always be there to protect you, but I'm sure you won't be living your whole life in such mediocrity. My son, remember, Life is a long way, believe in yourself, a man should thrive at age 30, and I will bestow my inheritance legacy to you now!"
The man uttered sternly.
"If you still end up as a failure, the Taylor family will also take care of you for the rest of life according to my requirements. But I'll never see you."
"If you are able to rely on the inheritance, become stronger, make some achievements, and become a true man, at that time, there's nothing that can stop you in this world!"
"Then I will appear and meet you!"
After his monologue, the scenery before Ethan began to crumble.
Upon seeing that, he shouted, "Dad! Don't go, dad!"
Yet, nothing Ethan uttered could stop the scene from disappearing.
He knelt on the ground in despair, tears in his eyes, overwhelmed with pain.
He had always dreamed of meeting his birth parents, wanting to share his grievances like other people.
But no matter what he did, the sight before him continued to crumble into nothingness.
Soon, a collection of vast memories invaded his mind—all of which were unfamiliar to him.
There were sacred medical arts, cultivation methods, ancient & modern arcane techniques and more...
Right then, a turquoise-colored Qi (energy) flowed into his Dantian (the place where life force is located) slowly.
Before Ethan could react, his vision went dark.
When he woke up again, he was lying on a king-size bed.
A beauty with long hair and slender legs could be seen sitting before him.
Her delicate skin looked so tender that it gave off the impression that water would burst out of it if anyone as much as gave her a pinch.
She has a perfect figure like a model, elastic white breasts, a slender waist that can be held with one hand, and her lower body has two long legs without a trace of fat and seductive curves.
Plus, a face with exquisite facial features, a pointed and upright nose, red lips, and endlessly beautiful eyes.
The face of an angel and the figure of a devil appeared on her body at the same time.
"You're finally awake!" Emily scrutinized Ethan.
With that, Ethan Yu quickly got up and stuttered in nervousness, "W-who are you?"
Emily seem didn't want to reveal her identity, so she didn't say her surname, "My name is Emily. I saw you fainted on the sidewalk, so I rescued you on a whim."
"How strange though. The doctor said that there's nothing wrong with you." Emily's eyes twinkled as she peered at the man before her in curiosity.
Of course she didn't know, that magical jade pendant had already healed all the injuries on Ethan's body.
Even bringing countless magical inheritances.
Ethan frowned slightly and muttered, " So it wasn't just a dream?"
Thinking this, Ethan quickly closed his eyes, began to contemplate.
As expected, the memory was still intact, and it seemed to be merging with his! This was amazing!
Even the Qi inside his Dantian did not show any sign of dispersion at all!
"This is all real!" A glimmer of hope lit up in Ethan's heart that was brimming with disappointment up till that moment.
The scared medical scrolls and the cultivation methods were the things that could change his current miserable state.
Even the whole miserable life!
"Hey, I saved you, yet, you don't even express your gratitude? Where are your manners?" Emily pouted cutely and said.
Only then did Ethan come back to his senses. He quickly got up from bed and bowed to Emily, saying somewhat awkwardly, "Miss, thank you for saving me..."
Emily burst into laughter at the sight of Ethan's clumsy manner. For some unknown reason, she somehow found the silly man before her a little cute.
"Alright, alright, I was just joking," Emily waved her hand.
After speaking, Emily covered her mouth again and began to cough violently.
Just then, a man in doctor's scrubs walked in.
"Miss, it's time for your medicine," the doctor suggested while carrying a medical box in his hand.
Emily nodded.
A glass of warm water was placed on the table. Then, the doctor took out a table full of medicine from the box.
Gazing at Emily, countless knowledge from the sacred medical scrolls flashed in Ethan's mind.
He could not help but feel a little excited at what was happening.
Ethan moved forward and asked, "Miss Emily, are you feeling unwell?"
Glancing at Ethan with the corners of her eyes, Emily replied casually, "Yeah. I've had asthma since young."
Asthma!
In Ethan's mind, a treatment method immediately appeared!
But years of inferiority made Ethan hesitate to speak.
Rooted to the spot, he watched as Emily Taylor swallowed all the drugs on the table.
Nevertheless, Emily Taylor's symptoms did not improve even after taking all the pills.
Upon seeing that, Ethan Smith took a deep breath to muster his courage. Then, he took a step forward and uttered, "Miss Emily, could you please let me try to help? I might be able to treat your sickness."
After hearing his words, a hint of astonishment flashed in Emily Taylor's pretty eyes.
A while later, she chuckled, "I have asthma. It is incurable. You should understand that, right?"
Ethan Smith immediately clarified, "I don't know how to explain it to you. But... I still want to give it a go. Maybe this might work..."
This made Emily frown slightly.
The doctor by her side even scoffed and said, "Kid, you're not even a doctor, what makes you think you can cure illnesses? Don't bragging."
At once, Ethan Smith's face turned red up to his ears. He stood awkwardly.
"People like you, I've seen plenty. You're just lusting after Miss Emily, trying to take advantage of her." the doctor continued.
"If I'm not mistaken, does your treatment method involve skin-to-skin contact?"
Ethan Smith's mouth hung agape. Biting the bullet, he answered, "Indeed, it requires..."
"Hahaha. You see, miss. This fellow is nothing but a lecherous scum, sleazy and pathetic," the doctor derided.
Emily Taylor's expression turned gloomy.
Glaring at Ethan Smith, she warned, "Do you know the consequences of taking advantage of me?"
Ethan Smith hurriedly explained, "No, it's not like that. I was not trying to take advantage of you. I can really cure your disease. I mean it."
"Hmph! You are spouting ridiculous words," the doctor denigrated.
"Asthma might not be a serious illness, but it has always been a chronic condition! There's no way to cure it completely! This is common sense! Miss, I suggest that we chop his hand off and throw it out of the window!" the doctor continued.
Emily Taylor remained taciturn and sized Ethan Smith up.
No one knew what she was thinking.
"I am willing to give you a chance," Emily Taylor stated after a while.
"But if it doesn't work, your end will be very miserable," Emily Taylor added with a wink.
The Taylor family is not a place where anyone can act wild.
Despite knowing that Emily Taylor was not someone to be trifled with, Ethan Smith was full of confidence at that time.
Besides, he could not wait to test and see if the knowledge of the scared medical scrolls was legit.
"Okay!" Ethan Smith nodded vigorously.
"Miss, you really believe him? He's obviously just..."
"Shut up!"
The doctor wanted to say more but was silenced by a sharp shout from Emily, he immediately fell silent, and although reluctant, he obediently stepped aside.
"How do you need me to cooperate with you, Doctor Ethan?" Emily said with a hint of amusement.
Having heard that, Ethan's face flushed and murmured, "I..I will have to place my hand on your chest..."
After saying this, Ethan's face was red to the root of his neck.
Lowering his head, Ethan Smith took in Emily Taylor's fair cleavage.
Such an alluring sight to behold.
