Chapter 1806The car quickly arrived at the mountaintop. As they parked, Molly caught sight of a large structure through the window. It appeared to be a medicinal herb base, with buildings that exuded an antique charm, boasting red walls and green tiles reminiscent of ancient times."They produce and process their own medicinal herbs," Mr. Ballard explained, prompting Molly to notice the numerous workers bustling in and out. The scale of the operation was quite impressive!Still in awe, Molly's curiosity about Mr. Ballard's friend grew even stronger. What kind of exceptional person could own such a vast mountain to plant herbs and process medicinal materials here? She found herself increasingly eager to meet this person."Let's step out of the car," Mr. Ballard said as he unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door, and exited first. Molly and Sean promptly followed suit.They saw Mr. Ballard making his way towards the security booth at the entrance."Hello, I would like to m
Chapter 1807Seeing the meaningful gazes of Sean and Molly, Mr. Ballard felt embarrassed.Mr. Ballard would like to explain but it wasn’t the right time now.He could only pat the woman in his arms. “Yolanda, I’m fine now. Be happy.”Being comforted, Yolanda calmed down, let go of Mr. Ballard, wiped her tears, and smiled in embarrassment.“I’m too excited. Don’t laugh at me.”Mr. Ballard burst into laughter, “I won’t.”He pointed at Molly and Sean and introduced them to Yolanda, “By the way, she’s my student, Molly May. The man beside Molly is her husband, Sean Anderson.”Only then did Yolanda look at Molly and Sean. She examined them up and down and smiled gently, “Now that you’re Mr. Ballard’s student, you can call me Auntie Yolanda.”Hearing that, Molly greeted Yolanda obediently, “Nice to meet you, Auntie Yolanda.”Sean also said, “Nice to meet you, Auntie Yolanda.”Yolanda nodded at them and smiled more brightly. Then she turned around and said to Mr. Ballard, “They’re
Chapter 1808Back at the herb base, the workers smilingly greeted Yolanda.“Good afternoon, Yolanda.” “Good afternoon.”Yolanda nodded her head with a gentle smile in greeting.She led Molly and the others to the entrance of the warehouse. "This is the herb warehouse. There are almost any kind of herbs in it."Yolanda asked someone to open the gate.As the gate was slowly opened, a warehouse filled with herb cabinets appeared in front of everyone.Molly had forgotten how many times she had been shocked since she arrived here."Get in."Yolanda led the way.Molly followed behind and looked around, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief.The rows of herb cabinets were like the shelves in a supermarket. All kinds of herbs were arranged in different categories, and there was even a constant temperature room on one side.It really amazed Molly so much that she couldn't speak for a long time."Over there is a constant temperature room. It's used to preserve some perishable herbs
Chapter 1809After they walked out of the medicine warehouse, it was getting dark outside.“I have asked the cook to prepare dinner. Would you like to have dinner with me?”Yolanda looked at Molly and Sean and then fixed her eyes on Mr. Ballard.Of course, Mr. Ballard had no objection. He chuckled, “We haven’t had a meal together for a long time.”He turned to look at Molly and asked, “Would you?”Molly smiled, “I’d love to.”Yolanda took them to the house where she was living.It was a Western-style building.“Have a seat, please. I will go to the kitchen to have a look.” Yolanda invited them to have a seat in the living room and went to the kitchen.After Molly had a seat, she looked around.An old clock and several oil paintings hung on the wall. The furniture was vintage. Being in here, Molly felt as if she went back to the 1980s.The light fragrance of sandalwood filled the air.“Do you like it?”Sean’s gentle voice sounded beside Molly’s ear. Molly turned around, me
Chapter 1810"Sean and I will walk off the dinner in the courtyard while you two talk."Molly sensibly pulled Sean outside.Mr. Ballard and Yolanda were left alone.Of course, Mr. Ballard knew Molly's thoughts. He smiled resignedly and shook his head at Molly's back.Arriving at the courtyard, Molly inhaled deeply. "The air in the mountains is really good."She turned to look at the man beside her, her beautiful eyes sparkling like stars.Sean's eyes flickered slightly as he lowered his head and pecked her lips."Are you tired?"His low voice was full of concern."No." Molly shook her head. "On the contrary, I feel happy."She saw a lot of rare herbs and took quite a few of them, which was even happier than hitting the jackpot for her."That's good."Sean led her to a nearby bench and sat down, the two cuddling together and looking up at the stars in the sky."I wonder what the three little ones are doing now."Suddenly, Molly missed her kids, even though they had only b
Chapter 1811Guessing what was on Molly's mind, Mr. Ballard smiled and said, "It's all in the past, and we've moved on." "Mr. Ballard, then you..." Molly wanted to say something, but soon she stopped. Mr. Ballard knew what she wanted to ask. He sighed, "At that time, my wife had also passed away. When I heard about Yolanda’s situation, I helped her settle down. But..." He paused and then continued, "We didn’t get back together. We just care about each other." Hearing this, Molly felt pity for Mr. Ballard and Yolanda, but as a youngster, she didn't say anything."Well, you're tired today. You should go to bed early," Mr. Ballard said. Molly nodded, "You too. Good night." Back to her room, after washing, Molly sat on the bed and was still thinking about Mr. Ballard and Yolanda. The more she thought about them, the more she felt it was a pity. "What are you thinking?" Sean came over and asked softly. Molly looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "If you
Chapter 1812The atmosphere became a little awkward.After thinking for a while, Molly approached Yolanda and took her hand. "Yolanda, it would be great if you could come along. I have many questions about herbs that I would like to consult with you."Yolanda turned her head and met Molly's smiling eyes. Realizing that Molly was trying to help her, she quickly replied, "Of course, you can ask me any question you have.""That's wonderful. With you by my side, the development of the medicine will go smoothly."Molly affectionately linked her arm with Yolanda's while her eyes glanced at Mr. Ballard.The latter shook his head with a sigh.He knew Molly too well. Once she had made up her mind, it was impossible to change it.Therefore, he decided to let her do as she pleased."Thank you." Grateful for Mr. Ballard's compromise, Yolanda whispered her thanks into Molly's ear."You're welcome." Molly smiled at her before returning to Sean's side.Sean took the opportunity to hold her
Chapter 1813Knowing Molly and the others were back, Logan rushed home from the hospital.When he arrived, he was shocked to see the herbs laid out on the floor."Did you guys... Go to stock up?" He looked at Molly.Molly let out a laugh. "Yeah, and the herbs are free.""Free?""Yes, Yolanda gave them to me.""Yolanda?"Logan then noticed a woman he had never seen before."Logan, this is Yolanda, Uncle Jordan's friend," Lesley introduced."Hello, Yolanda." Logan greeted dumbfoundedly.At that moment, Mr. Ballard came down the stairs. When he saw Logan, he asked, "How's Mike doing?""Pretty good." Logan frowned. "But I'm not optimistic about the situation in the Gray family. There was a conflict before. I'm afraid... we won't be able to hide it."As soon as he said that, the atmosphere became depressing.Logan went on to say, "In a week, Elton will hold a family meeting to announce to the public about the change of the family head, so I'm worried that they'll make a mo
