Since Dominic had said so, Austin hoped that he would be able to relax.
He had not had a good night's sleep in a long time. On top of the time he was imprisoned, he had not
slept peacefully for a long time, even after returning, because of the physical torture he would
experience.
The four hours of sleep he had just had were the best he had ever had. When he woke up, he felt
much more refreshed.
“Okay, I trust you!" Austin nodded.
With that, the old man got up to check his pulse and pondered for a while before he turned around and
left without saying a word.
Dominic washed and disinfected his hands downstairs before going to the backyard.
It was already dark, but the backyard was brightly lit, reflecting a sizeable herb garden, which looked
beautiful and serene.
novelbinHe walked over to the flower section and saw his apprentice squatting down among the herbs. Her
stomach made it inconvenient for her to squat down. Instead, she was bent over slightly as she
stretched out her hands to pick the needed herbs.
"Is there anything missing?" Dominic asked, not afraid of scaring her.
She had very sharp ears. She would have heard his footsteps long before he got close.Sure enough, Lily was not surprised : "I think we have almost everything. Even if something is missing,
I don't think you'll be able to find a replacement so quickly."”
"That's not true! Tell me what's missing. I'm not trying to boast, but there isn't a herb that I can't find!"
How can he allow himself to be embarrassed in front of his apprentice? On top of that, this place was
not an herb garden for no reason. He had all sorts of herbs here. Any herbs he did not have would
mean it was a world treasure.
After picking a few more, Lily straightened up and looked at him." Spices!"
"Spices..." Dominic, who was full of confidence a second ago, now froze instantly. "Spices? Why are
you talking about spices here? You know I don't dabble in those things. Why do you need spices? Are
you starting your old business again?"
Lily shook her head. "No. I have other uses.
After bending over for so long, she straightened up and patted her waist lightly before saying to the old
man, "How is your precious grandnephew?"
"He’s not my precious grandnephew!" The old man had a look of disdain on his face. He did not realize
that he had admitted himself to this relationship unknowingly. "He looks stable. I took his pulse before
coming here, and it sounded fairly stable. However, it's just how it seems for now. He is still inflamed. If
we don't tend to it properly, he will relapse."
"So, we've not cured the root of the problem." Lily was not surprised. "However, judging from what
happened, this method seems feasible."
“Of course. Ancestral methods like these..." The old man looked proud. After all, it was he who
proposed for her to do this in the first place.Halfway through his sentence, something came to his mind. "You said earlier that the silver needle
controls people's minds..."
"I haven't figured that out yet, but it's not as simple as relying on the needles. I think we'd still need
some medication. I've done a laboratory analysis on that silver needle but have yet to draw a
conclusion."
Shifting her body, Lily continued, "I may not drop by as often in the next few days. I will leave your
grandnephew to you. Also..."
After a pause, she looked deeply at the old man and said, "Take care of yourself."
Although this statement from Lily wasn't particularly unusual, Dominic found it to be very moving. He
wanted to laugh, but his eyes began tearing up.
He sniffed hard and said, "When did you learn to be so empathetic? I'm not used to it!"
