The first two types were to make someone sink into a deep sleep and make someone excited, respectively, so Alexander guessed that the third kind should have an effect in the middle of the spectrum.That was only his guess, to which Lily shook her head decisively. “No! You won’t be able to guess it. The third kind is poison.”“Poi-” Alexander's eyes grew wider as he tilted his head to look at her, unable to joke about it. “Didn’t you say the experiment was to create something that would save lives, lessen the patient’s pain, and expose the public to the benefits of medicinal herbs?”“That’s what they said, but they also said that poison is a type of medication.”“Nonsense!” Alexander was furious. ‘What’s all that cr*p they’re talking about?’Lily chuckled. “Not entirely. Some medicinal herbs are poisonous, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be used to treat illnesses. If it’s used correctly, it’ll be able to save lives as well. We’re trying to add a medicinal herb with poisonous prop

Alexander did not want Lily to worry too much. After all, pregnant mothers were relatively weaker, and overthinking would not be suitable for her health.However, Lily was too bright. She could figure out many things without needing him to tell her about them.Sighing, he said, “I’ll find out about Mike’s situation while you stop overthinking the matter. Since this is how the project is, we should stop it. I’ll withdraw my investment, and you’ll leave the team. Let’s see how they’re going to move forward after that!”“But…”“No buts!” Alexander placed both his hands on Lily’s shoulders. That was his first time stopping her from doing something in such a severe manner.In the past, he would support her no matter what she wanted to do, but he could not do that this time around.“Although we’re unsure what they’re up to, it’s a given that this is a dangerous project. It might involve more things and parties than you could’ve imagined. I know you’re always interested in finding the a

Upon entering the gate, one could smell the faint scent of plants. All sorts of unique ferns and plants, from the gate to the residence, made it difficult to travel by car. The plants dotted a gravel path, so the maids would need to walk quite a distance whenever they were going out to purchase anything, as there was only a parking space for cars near the main gate.Only a few would visit Dominic here most of the time. Initially, many would come over and seek Dominic’s medical advice, but he refused to meet any of them.After getting rejected several times, they started to understand that Dominic would not meet them. He was an older gentleman with a strange attitude. Besides his students, it was also difficult for his family members to meet him. As time passed, fewer people would visit, leaving the villa’s surroundings quiet. As Dominic loved the quiet atmosphere, he stayed home most days. Hence, this place appeared more deserted by the day. However, two cars were parked in front

Flower fragrances and birds chirping filled the backyard while the sun shone brightly in the sky.An older gentleman was lying on a bamboo rattan chair, rocking it leisurely. He held a purple teacup in his hand, putting his mouth to it and sipping from time to time. He was free at this moment.He wore a white wife beater, while a pair of woven slippers was on his feet, but only on one side. He used the other foot to sandwich the slipper between two of his toes as he shook his leg, with the slipper looking like it could fall any minute.No one would have imagined that this older gentleman, who appeared to be just another older man, was Dominic Fike, the legendary doctor everyone wanted to meet. He squinted his eyes and appeared to enjoy the moment. From time to time, he would open his eyes and look to his right. That appeared to be a casual gaze, but he was always anxious.On his right side was a vast herb field, and all the plants were his “babies.” Besides himself and the profes

“Since you know what it is, why did you want to touch it? You…” Dominic blinked his eyes, suddenly realizing something as he said sternly, “You did it on purpose!”“I didn’t do it on purpose. I was just curious if there were any exceptions, like perhaps it isn't as poisonous now that it has been improved and cultivated differently.”She held her cheek up with one hand and looked out over all the other ferns and plants, straight at the yellow flowers of the wilfordi root.The herb looked average, similar to other plants. The tender, green buds looked like tea leaves, but who could have imagined this was the poisonous wilfordi root?Most people might not be familiar with the wilfordi root. It belonged to the famous plant family—heartbreak grass!According to the myths, a farmer had tasted all sorts of herbs and finally tried the wilfordi root, which brought about his death as it was something that could not be treated.Although it was just a myth, it was a fact that the wilfordi ro

“What? What the hell are they up to?” The older man was appalled and somewhat angry. Being at his age and having gone through so much, he was used to all kinds of trouble. However, after he figured out what the research institute was up to, he was shocked and appalled. “I don't know what they're planning, but it's not improving herbal medicine for the benefit of humanity, as we first presumed they were doing.”She held up the cup of tea and took a sip. It had a mellow taste. The older man knew how to enjoy himself. He had tea leaves of good quality here, and both the herbs and tea leaves were gifts from nature. Thousand s of years ago, the ancestors were wise in using various herbs to treat patients. However, they have dual therapeutic and harmful potential. Poisons and medicines were always used in tandem. Some medicinal herbs have the potential to save lives if used properly, but they also carry the risk of death if misapplied. Lily knew about this and had always been ex

“Yes, I’ve already decided to pull out of the project, and Alex’s company will also divest. However, as the project has gone on for such a long time, I’m afraid they won’t give up and will look for other people,” Lily said thoughtfully.“Then let them get another person as long as it has nothing to do with you!”Waving his hand, the older man had learned to take things easy at his age. In his opinion, one could not save everyone with medicine, and what mattered most was to do their best. He got up and walked toward his beloved herb garden. “There are people who learn herbal medicine to help people, and there are those who want to cause harm. Human beings are much more complex than these herbs.”Lily got up and sat down in his rattan rocking chair. She felt great about being able to stretch. Rocking the chair, she said leisurely, “You’re right. There are all kinds of people. Some don’t like to be high-profile and prefer to stay at home in the middle of nowhere, while some enjoy d

The older man chuckled since he knew his students well. "You've never cared about claims like these. Why did you mention that little brat all of a sudden? Did he do anything to upset you?"He looked intrigued, as if he was eager to hear gossip.“Not really,” Lily answered blandly, then suddenly widened her eyes. “He went to the research institute.”“What?!” Dominic’s jaw dropped, and he could not wrap his head around it. “Why was he there? How could someone, who knows so little, contribute to the research? He better not make a fool of himself!”Lily did not know how to respond to that.“So you guys met? Does he know you’re my…”“No,” Lily answered quickly. Sitting up, she said almost warningly, “You’d better not tell him either!”“Yes, yes, of course!” Dominic nodded, not minding her request.He was somewhat whimsical when it came to taking a student. He would take one if he thought the person was someone he liked and suitable. He also did not care if his students did not becom
