Healing God's Heir: Abandoned Son-in-law

7. Allen Vasudeva

......

......

The old man, oblivious to the underlying tension, nodded appreciatively, "You're doing a great job, young man."

Aarav forced a smile, but deep down, the weight of humiliation and desperation lingered in his eyes.

He shook his head and concentrated on the matter at hand, as he followed the sensations and instructions in his mind, just as he had done with his sister.

A hologram screen appeared in front of him, and the amulet glowed, similar to what had happened with his sister like last time.

[Name: Allen Vasudeva

[Age: 66 (Human)

[Title: Previous Head of Vasu Family

[Health: Suffering From Acute Liver Failure (ALF), Immediate need of treatment.

[Condition: ALF stands for Acute Liver Failure, which means the liver is rapidly losing its ability to function properly. This can be caused by things like hepatitis, reactions to medication, or exposure to toxins. Symptoms like yellowing of the skin (jaundice), confusion, abdominal pain, and a tendency to bleed can occur once the condition has advanced beyond its current state.]

"Um, I'm not sure if you're aware of your condition, but it's quite serious," Aarav said after completing his health check on the elderly man.

"Huh, did you find something concerning in my health, young man?" The elderly man looked surprised when he heard Aarav's words.

He knew about his health issues, but Aarav's tone made it seem like he knew his condition without running any tests.

"Did you know your body is dealing with Acute Liver Failure, or ALF for short? Your health is at a point where you could experience sudden abdominal pain and a tendency to bleed without warning!" Aarav said with a serious tone, causing the elderly man to sit up in surprise and curiosity.

He hadn't expected this young man to accurately diagnose his condition.

"How did you find out?" The elderly man couldn't help but ask; he was genuinely curious.

"Well, how I found out isn't as important as your health. Now, please tell me if you'd like me to treat this condition," Aarav asked, knowing that if he could cure the elderly man, he'd only have nine more to go.

"Huh, are you really certain, young man, that you can treat me?" The old man asked, seeking confirmation as he had some doubts about Aarav's abilities.

"Have you heard of Naturopathy?" Aarav inquired, looking at the old man.

"Yes, I'm familiar with it. It focuses on the body's ability to heal itself through natural remedies, lifestyle changes, and holistic practices. That's right!" The old man nodded and responded.

"That's correct, and my grandfather used to be an expert in that field. I have a treatment method written by him. That's why I offered to help you," Aarav mentioned his grandfather while explaining, even though it was a complete fabrication.

He was confident his grandfather had never dabbled in such things, but he had the knowledge in his mind.

Not only in Naturopathy but in various other treatment methods, along with knowledge about countless types of herbs, minerals, and more.

The old man sat there, his eyes widening with a mix of shock and surprise after hearing Aarav's revelation about his illness.

"How confident are you in your treatment method?" The old man asked, a clear curiosity etched on his face.

Having a positive impression of Aarav, he was willing to give this young man a chance to prove himself.

"A hundred percent confident. If there are any issues with your body later on, I'll take full responsibility for it," Aarav said with unwavering confidence, believing that if he couldn't treat an illness like this, he wouldn't be worthy of being Elandor's Heir.

"Hahaha! Young man, you're really brave and confident. Alright, I'll give you a chance to treat me, but remember, if you can't do what you promise, be ready for the consequences!" The old man laughed, patting Aarav's shoulder, somewhat pleased with his attitude.

The old man's last words added a bit of pressure on Aarav, and a serious expression crossed his face.

Aarav felt like he was standing in front of a towering mountain, a force that had overwhelmed many before him with its sheer presence.

"Thank you for trusting me." Aarav smiled, relieved to see the old man's expression return to normal.

Aarav could sense that this old man was no ordinary person, and now he recalled seeing the name mentioned on the holographic screen.

'Allen Vasudeva, the former head of the Vasu Family. Wait... Don't tell me it's that Vasu Family. Oh, why didn't I notice this before!' Aarav remembered the name and the family the old man belonged to, and suddenly it clicked who this old man is.

He felt a bit of pressure now; his shoulders became heavy, and a bead of sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Fuu... Before we start the treatment, I need you to get a few herbs for me so I can make my full preparation." Aarav exhaled heavily, feeling the tension subside a little. He then wrote down the names of five or so herbs on a piece of paper and handed it to the old man.

Hearing the names, the old man's eyes widened. "These herbs... are you serious? You know what you're dealing with."

Aarav nodded, his voice steady but weighted. "I do. It's crucial for the treatment."

"Hmmm, I can do that. It's not that difficult because these are common herbs, except for one." The old man looked at the paper, read the names of the herbs, identified them, and nodded, indicating he could get them.

"Alright, please have those herbs delivered here in half an hour. Meanwhile, I need to ensure your body is in good condition for the treatment." Aarav mentioned that he needed the herbs soon, gesturing for the old man to lie on the comfy bed.

Apologies for any confusion. Let me make the requested modifications to the previous paragraph:

"Let me make a phone call then!" The old man pulled out his smartphone and dialed a number.

"Hello, dear. Yes... yes... don't worry, I am fine. Could you do me a favor?" The old man's tone softened as he spoke with the person on the other end of the call.

After sharing the herb names, the old man hung up and got on the bed.

"Okay, I'm ready!" He gestured for Aarav to continue with the treatment.

"Alright, at the beginning, you might feel a little discomfort, so please be prepared." Giving a slight warning, Aarav began using a technique from his memories.
