Chapter 003: Not Much Time Left to Live!

In an instant, everyone at the scene was dumbfounded!

Everyone thought that Julia Stewart and Julie Stewart were here to attend the engagement banquet!

But now it seems that this is not the case!

Moreover, looking at the situation now, it seems that Lady Stewart and Miss Stewart are coming for this little mountain boy!

But how is that possible?

On one side is the Stewarts, and on the other is the mountain boy. These two parties are not even remotely related, right?

Lionel Yeager didn't expect that these two beauties would actually follow him here!

"Beauty, are you feeling better now?"

Lionel asked Julie.

Julie smiled gently and said, "Thanks to Mr. Yeager, my body is much better."

Vic Lewis came over and asked doubtfully, "Lady Stewart, do you know this kid?"

Julie nodded and said lightly, "This gentleman is my benefactor and also my friend."

Anna Lewis also came over, laughed dryly, and said, "Lady Stewart, could you be mistaken?

This kid just came from the mountains... "

Without waiting for Julie to speak, Julia frowned.

"So what if he came from the mountains? Does that mean he can't be our friend?"

She noticed earlier that Lionel seemed to not get along with the Lewises, so she naturally wouldn't show a friendly face to the Lewises.

Anna quickly said, "Miss Stewart, I didn't mean that.

I mean, with your and Lady Stewart's status, how can you become friends with such low-level people?"

Julia's face turned cold, "Miss Lewis, it seems that it's none of your business who our Stewart family makes friends with."

Hearing this, Anna opened her mouth but couldn't find any words to retort.

Alma Lewis, however, said displeasedly, "We're just reminding you not to make friends with some messy people. What's your attitude?"

"Hmm?"

Julia slowly turned her head and stared at Alma coldly.

Vic Lewis was suddenly startled and hurriedly shouted at Alma, "Shut up!"

Alma, with a wronged face, said, "Grandfather, I didn't say anything wrong!"

"I told you to shut up!"

Vic Lewis was furious and slapped Alma's face directly.

Alma fell to the ground with a slap, wailing loudly.

Vic Lewis wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "Miss Stewart, the younger generation is ignorant, please forgive us!"

There was no other way. Although the Lewis family was also a wealthy family, they were far inferior to the Stewarts.

If they offended the Stewarts, it would be difficult for the Lewis family to have a foothold in River City.

"Miss Stewart, I've admired you for a long time. I'm Dion Weil from the Weil Family!"

At this time, Dion Weil stepped forward, showing a hearty smile, and extended his hand to Julia Stewart.

Julia Stewart was the dream lover of all the young masters from the wealthy families in River City, and he was no exception.

"Are we close?"

Julia's eyes were cold, and she didn't even intend to shake hands.

Dion Weil awkwardly smiled and retracted his hand, "Miss Stewart, I've always wanted to find an opportunity to get to know you..."

However, Julia ignored Dion Weil, instead, she turned to Lionel with a gentle smile and said, "Mr. Yeager, my aunt and I want to ask you for a favor, would that be alright?"

Seeing Julia's smile, all the men present were dumbfounded. They suddenly felt their hearts beating faster, their breaths quickened, and they were reminded of their first love!

Lionel smiled and nodded, "Of course."

"That's great!"

Julia was very happy, "Mr. Yeager, let's go outside and talk!"

"Okay."

Lionel nodded and was about to leave with Julia Stewart and Julie Stewart.

However, before leaving, Lionel looked at Vic Lewis with a plain face and said, "Vic Lewis, let me remind you of one thing.

Hurry up and prepare a coffin, you don't have long to live."

"Bastard, you... "

Anna was about to curse, but was stopped by Vic Lewis' gaze.

He could see that Julia and Julie were both siding with Lionel, and he naturally didn't want to offend the Stewarts because of Lionel.

However, Vic Lewis's face had already darkened.

Anyone would be angry upon hearing such words.

Of course, he just thought Lionel Yeager was trying to scare him.

After all, he felt that his body was still in good shape, and he could live another ten or eight years without any problems.

What baffled him was how Lionel knew the Stewart family members when he had just come out of the mountains.

As for Dion Weil, his eyes were filled with resentment, completely remembering Lionel Yeager and Julia Stewart.

Leaving the Lewis Family Villa.

Lionel asked, "May I ask you two beauties, what do you want me to help with?"

He had a pretty good impression of these two. They had driven him into the city today and had just helped press down the Lewis family's arrogance. Therefore, he was willing to help.

Furthermore, he had just arrived in River City and didn't know anyone familiar yet. So if he needed to do something later, he could ask them for help.

Julia said, "Mr. Yeager, I want to ask you to save my grandfather."

Lionel replied, "Oh," and laughed, "Well, you've found the right person. There's no disease in this world that I can't cure."

"Mr. Yeager, you don't even know what disease my grandfather has, and you're sure you can cure it?"

Julia frowned slightly, thinking that Lionel was a bit too arrogant.

This guy dared to say such big words when he hadn't even seen the patient.

Was it really wise for her and her aunt to come to him for help?

Lionel grinned at the two women, "Don't worry. As long as the patient has a breath left, I can save them."

Although Julia increasingly felt that Lionel was unreliable, they had no choice but to give it a try now.

Julie said, "Mr. Yeager, let's go to the hospital then."

"Alright."

Lionel nodded, then followed the two women into the car and headed straight to River City Central Hospital.

...

River City Central Hospital.

In an ICU ward.

Joan Holman, the leader of River City's Four Great Divine Doctors, was treating an old man lying on a hospital bed.

At this moment, the anxious expressions on everyone's faces were evident.

Especially Dean Laird Tennat, who was extremely restless.

He had no choice since the man lying in the hospital bed was Sir Stewart, the revered elder of one of River City's top families—the Stewart family.

Sir Haward Stewart used to be a high-ranking official in the province and held a lofty status.

If something tragic were to happen to Sir Stewart, then he, as the dean, would no longer need to continue his duties.

Time slowly ticked away.

Half an hour quickly passed.

Joan Holman let out a sigh of relief and withdrew the silver needles from Sir Stewart's acupoints.

"Doctor Holman, how is Mr. Stewart?" Dean Tenant urgently asked.

Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation as they looked at Joan Holman.

Doctor Holman sighed and shook his head, "If I had mastered the last three needles of the 'Returning Yang Nine Needles', maybe I could have treated Sir Stewart, but unfortunately, I don't have that ability yet..."

"Doctor Holman, please think of other solutions!"

"Doctor Holman, if you can save my father, no matter what you want, our Stewart family will present it to you with both hands!"

Stewart's eldest son, Kenneth, and his second son, Justin, both pleaded anxiously.

Joan Holman's face was bitter, "I admire Sir Stewart's character, and if there was a way, I would naturally treat him. Unfortunately, my medical skills are still lacking.

I hate to break it to everyone, but Sir Stewart may not survive past midnight tonight. So, it's time to prepare for the worst..."

There's no hope!

If even Doctor Holman said so, then no one in River City could cure him!

Kenneth and Justin were utterly devastated!

Dean Tenant and all the attending physicians sighed deeply as well!

But at that moment!

A voice came from outside the door.

"Who says this old man won't live past midnight tonight?"
