Chapter 272: Original text: Chapter 271 Pulling Herbs to Treat Edwin Blake’s Illness

Ivy River completely missed the earth-shaking changes on Twitter.

She drove straight to the research institute.

"Master, why do you think my Sky Heart Lotus has been wilting lately? This little guy is really embarrassing me."

Lucas Woods couldn’t help but comment as he listened to Ivy River’s complaints, "How long has it been since you last checked on it? Plants have feelings too, you know?"

Ivy River immediately understood, "Master~ I’ve been super busy lately, haven’t I told you? I’ve been so swamped, otherwise, how could I not come see you!"

Her tone was very sincere.

Lucas Woods snorted, shook her arm off, and went straight to water the plants, mumbling:

"People are like plants; they need care. The Sky Heart Lotus has been nurtured for so many years and has propagated numerous offspring. We should appreciate it, look at it more often. We shouldn’t only come when we need it and neglect it otherwise..."

Ivy River rubbed her temples and quickly responded, "Exactly, so people are the same. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t considered your feelings, that’s my fault. Tomorrow! Tomorrow I will bring Fatty and Emmy over."

Lucas Woods glanced at her and didn’t make things difficult for Ivy River.

"I only want Emmy. Someone else can take Fatty away. It’s been so peaceful here without that rascal!"

Ivy River shook her head with a smile, "No way, we must treat everyone equally, even if there are priorities, we should favor the girls."

"But I’m already favoring the girls! Don’t let Fatty come, or he’ll mess up everything again. Remember last time? He wrecked the internet, and I had to spend three thousand bucks to fix it."

The thought of Fatty gave Lucas Woods a headache.

Emmy is so adorable, but why is Fatty so naughty!

Were they really born from the same belly?

Ivy River ignored him, cheerfully taking the pharmacy keys from Lucas Woods.

She walked off with the Sky Heart Lotus.

Lucas Woods quickly followed, "Ivy, be careful with that! I just planted some new Blue Stones in there. Watch it, okay?"

Ivy River marched ahead, "Got it, Master. I’m checking if you’ve got any new plants recently."

"Ivy, you know it’s not easy taking care of these. Even though you successfully planted the Sky Heart Lotus and Cold Reeds, I’ve been taking care of them all these years. Be careful, they’re delicate!"

"I know, I know. They’re your babies; you love them more than you love me. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful."

Ivy River smirked.

This made Lucas Woods uneasy.

"What’s that supposed to mean?"

"I want three Sky Heart Lotus, six Cold Reeds, and one Blue Stone seed when it matures. And that other one, what’s it called? I can’t remember."

Ivy River scratched her head, wandering around the pharmacy.

Lucas Woods glanced at Edwin Blake’s medical records and said coldly, "Rouge, right? That’s essential for Edwin Blake’s treatment. Without it, the treatment period will be extended."

Upon hearing this, Ivy River felt embarrassed and glanced at Lucas Woods.

Lucas Woods, sensing her embarrassment, teased, "What were you thinking when treating him? Now you’re embarrassed?"

"Master! I’m making money here, Edwin Blake pays well. Otherwise, why would I care about his sorry life?"

Ivy River retorted stubbornly.

"Fine, but let me tell you, it’s the off-season for Rouge right now. You know that. How about I give you some of the previously collected and ground ones?"

Ivy River refused outright, "Even if it’s off-season, there should be some. Master, once the medicine is used, it needs to be fresh. I’ll dry and grind it myself."

"There’s no difference, Ivy. Can’t you let my Rouge plant live a bit longer?"

Lucas Woods was distressed!

Both Rouge and Blue Stone are delicate, picky about temperature and water.

Surviving is already a great achievement.

But Ivy not only wanted them, she wanted them fresh!

He pleaded, "Ivy, you know it’s not easy for me to grow these. Can’t you let them live a bit longer? I’m giving you the Sky Heart Lotus, spare these delicate plants."

"No way, once I’m done with this busy period, I’ll come back and help you grow more Rouge. It’s just a herb; it can’t be that difficult for me, right? Master, you have to trust me."

It wasn’t overconfidence on Ivy’s part; she genuinely had the skills.

Nationwide, even globally.

No more than five people could successfully grow the Sky Heart Lotus.

And Ivy was one of them, the first in the country to succeed.

Lucas Woods sighed helplessly, "Disciple, can you at least leave the Blue Stone alone? It just started sprouting. Can you let it mature naturally?"

Ivy River nodded, "Sure, the Blue Stone doesn’t matter. I’ll use the previously ground powder."

"Oh, truly, girls can’t be kept once they’ve grown..."

Lucas Woods sighed long and deep.

Ivy River glanced at him, "Why are you sighing? Didn’t I agree? Don’t act like a child."

Lucas Woods rolled his eyes, speechless.

He couldn’t help but mutter, "I’m your master; you have to understand this. For the past few years, I’ve nurtured these plants with great care. I have a deep bond with them, don’t forget that."

"I haven’t forgotten, Master. Thanks to you, I’ve had herbs to use for my difficult cases. I’d be in trouble without you."

Ivy River said as she picked up a small shovel and headed for the Sky Heart Lotus.

Lucas Woods was very distressed, "Be careful, this Sky Heart Lotus is very delicate. You nurtured it, so you know its value. Be careful, go slowly."

Ivy only felt her ears buzzing.

She was going to be careful, but after hearing enough, she yanked it out in one go.

She pulled the Sky Heart Lotus from the soil and shook off the dirt.

Lucas Woods cried out in pain, "Ivy! I told you to be careful. Move aside, I’ll do it myself."

"Stop dithering, Master. Can’t you be a bit more decisive? You’ve been nagging in my ear, it’s getting annoying."

"Fine, you be careful. I’ll stop talking, okay?"

Ivy River nodded, "Okay, but please don’t talk, or I might end up treating these herbs roughly!"

Lucas Woods gave her a reassuring look.

Ivy River turned and started digging.

This time, she was careful the whole way.

Lucas Woods didn’t say a word to disturb her.

After finishing,

she wiped the sweat off her forehead, just to hear Lucas Woods start cursing:

"You brat, don’t come back next time. The saying ’no one visits unless they want something’ fits you perfectly. I thought you came to see an old man, but it turns out... you came for my herbs. I’m heartbroken!"

Ivy River scratched her ear, "Master, are you done talking?"

Lucas Woods was furious at her attitude!

"Ivy, you only find me when you need me, and ignore me when you don’t. You don’t respect your teacher!"

Hearing this, Ivy River looked at him helplessly, "Master, it’s just a few herbs, it’s not that serious, is it?"

Lucas Woods’s heart tightened, "How is it not serious! This is money we’re talking about!"
