Chloe walked around the living room, getting steadier with every loop. Elio released her arm and nodded for Yarely to do the same. Then, Chloe was walking all by herself. Her first few steps were wobbly, but she quickly got the hang of it."Daddy, Mommy... I can walk!" Chloe exclaimed, her arms swinging with joy.The whole family cheered and showered her with praise. "Amazing, Chloe, you're walking so well!""Good job, you're the best!"Cidro was overwhelmed with emotion, his heart free of any regrets. He approached Elio, gratitude shining in his eyes. "Elio, I can't thank you enough. You've given Chloe a new lease on life and changed her future."Using Elio's first name instead of a formal title made their bond feel closer.Elio felt proud to be acknowledged by such an important person in the city. He smiled and humbly said, "No need to thank me. Helping patients is just part of being a doctor.""Very well said," Dr. Carter exclaimed with admiration.The respected elder, a ren
Who would have thought that this would become a big deal in the world of traditional medicine? At seventy years old, Dr. Carter had taken Elio as his master. His bravery was impressive, and everyone respected his decision.Old Master Abbott quickly set up a family feast to thank Elio for healing Chloe's sickness and celebrate Dr. Carter's finding such a great teacher. He hoped Dr. Carter would learn even more amazing healing skills.Dr. Carter was very respectful towards his young master. Elio saw that and thought his new student was pretty good. He cared a lot about a person's character and natural talent and planned to test his top student without him knowing.At the dinner, Old Master Abbott, his son Yale, and his son-in-law Cidro raised their glasses to Elio. They promised that if he ever needed anything, they would be there to help.Once everyone had eaten their fill, Elio said goodbye and left with Dr. Carter. Yale drove them back to Evamor Tower in a fancy Mercedes-Benz and
"I like your thinking! How about this: I'll start a clinic in Cloudsea, and you can be in charge. This way, we can help even more people. I'll give you advice when I have time. What do you think?" Elio suggested.Tommy's face lit up with happiness. "That's amazing! I'll take care of all the paperwork. And if you need money, I have some savings I can use to help out."Elio chuckled, "Don't worry about money. Just get the paperwork done. And don't talk about being too old. With me around, you'll stay healthy and live to be at least a hundred!"Tommy was thrilled. At his age, all he wanted was to get better at medicine and use his skills to do good. His biggest wish was to stay healthy and live a long life. With his master's promise, he was sure he would reach a hundred years!Overwhelmed with joy, the old man bowed deeply again, "Thank you so much, Master."When Sunny saw Tommy bowing so deeply, she was totally surprised. It was so impressive and unusual that the big name in traditi
The private room was bright, and Elio felt his head spin at the sight. He was married, sure, but he had never been in a situation like this before!"Remember, a doctor's got to care like a parent. Keep it together; no silly thoughts!" Elio told himself, trying to focus. He wasn't his usual calm self and said with a shaky voice, "Go ahead and lie down; I'm going to start the healing now."Yarely's face turned even redder, and with a soft "Okay," she lay down. She whispered, "Don't be shy. I'm just a patient, and you're the doctor. Just stay calm. You're in charge of what happens next.""I got it." Elio nodded seriously. He opened his instruments case on the coffee table, picked out the silver instruments, and carefully put them near Yarely's heart.In the blink of an eye, the healing was done. The seven silver instruments quivered ever so slightly, tickling Yarely. She wanted to scratch but managed to hold back.Elio knew better than to stare at things he should not, so he quickly
However, Elio was not like that. He shook his head as if saying no to the whole world. "I should go. You're not my wife, and I need to get back."He rushed downstairs. Yarely followed with a playful smile, wondering if he was really not interested or just playing hard to get.To see what Elio was really like, Yarely pretended to trip. "Oh!" she exclaimed, leaning into him and grabbing hold. "I almost fell. Lucky you were here to catch me."Elio's heart raced as Yarely's graceful figure pressed against him. Like a teenager, he was bursting with energy—this was too much. He almost wrapped his arms around her, but at the last second, he gently pushed her away and whispered, "Please stop teasing me. My heart can't handle it."Elio knew Yarely was just playing games.Yarely let out a quiet sigh. Elio was such a stand-up guy, able to resist temptation. He was young, good-looking, and rich, but Evelyn did not seem to appreciate him. Yarely wondered if Evelyn would regret it if another gi
The man looked at Elio with scorn. "I'm Thiago. You probably haven't heard of me, you nobody."Elio's face tensed up. He thought of the scary people from the stories and asked, "Are you Thiago, one of the Twelve Evil Spirits?"Thiago was caught off guard and huffed, "Not bad, kid. You know who I am. Looks like you're part of the martial world too."The world of warriors had always been around for thousands of years. It never went away; it just went underground!There were many fierce characters in the world of warriors, like the dreaded Twelve Evil Spirits. They would do anything for money, committing terrible acts. Nobody knew their real names, but everyone knew their scary nicknames.Elio's eyebrows knitted together. He knew how tough his enemy was. In a serious voice, he asked, "You must be working for someone. Who's the one in charge?""The boss said to pay 1.5 million dollars for your arm. After I cut it off, I'd tell you who you've upset. However, this job is a piece of cak
Thiago wore the cloak to look cool and powerful, and that turned out to be a mistake. Elio saw the opening and spun around to deliver a powerful back kick, his special Tiger Tail Whip move.The kick hit Thiago hard in the stomach, and he yelled, "Owww!""Boom!"Then Elio hit Thiago in the face with another Tiger Claw strike, making him see stars and forcing him to stumble back.Elio spun to the side and, with a flick of his right foot, sent a curved knife flying up from the ground. He caught it and swung it at the enemy."Owww" Thiago let out a terrible scream as its right arm was chopped off and dropped to the ground, blood spraying everywhere.Thiago was in so much pain that he almost passed out. He did not dare stick around and ran off as fast as he could, disappearing into the night like a stray dog.Yarely watched the whole fight with a pounding heart. Luckily, Elio was an amazing fighter. He turned the tables on Thiago and cut off its arm. She let out a big sigh of relie
Now, Elio found himself at the Orchid Harmony Club, in a private room and alone with Yarely. The awkwardness of being alone with a woman weighed on him.Noticing Elio's blush, Yarely teased him, "Come on, why so bashful? It's not like it's your first time alone with a woman. You've been married for three years!""This is different," Elio said with a sigh. Evelyn was his wife, after all."Just think of me as your sister, and you won't have any weird thoughts," Yarely suggested as she lounged on the couch, giving him a playful look. "What are you waiting for? Come on, it's bedtime."Elio gasped, his cheeks turning pink. ‘This is all happening so fast. Sister Rong doesn't seem like someone who would... Why is she doing this? I can't do anything that would hurt Evelyn.’Yarely laughed softly. "Silly, what's on your mind? Always thinking about silly things. Let's not be silly, okay? The couch is big enough; you stay on your side, and I'll stay on mine, and we won't bother each other."
