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
Chapter 1814With the backing of the Martial Art Union, Elton didn't fear Candice and her family. He simply swaggered into Mike's room with the doctor.The room was so quiet that only the sound of the operating instruments could be heard. Mike lay motionless on the bed.Elton went forward, and when he saw his brother's pale face, he sneered and looked away.Deep down, he felt uneasy."Come over and check on him," he instructed the doctor.The doctor complied, examining Mike's body.Elton quietly waited for the results.After a while, the doctor turned around and reported truthfully, "Sir, I'm afraid Mr. Gray won't last for long. He's barely alive thanks to the equipment."Elton was overjoyed. "Really?""Yes."Getting the affirmative answer, Elton almost shouted for joy. He looked at the man on the bed, unable to refrain from smiling."Mike, don't blame me. I just want the Gray family to be stronger."With that, he turned to leave.The room fell quiet once again.Downstai
Chapter 1815Lesley and Yolanda came over to deliver food and happened to overhear their conversation. They exchanged glances and quickly walked in."Uncle Jordan, Molly, I can help," Lesley quickly offered after putting down the food.Yolanda followed closely behind. "I can help too."Molly raised her eyebrows, glanced at Mr. Ballard, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes. "Alright, with your help, it will definitely be smoother."As expected, with the prescription and so many people working together, the entire pharmaceutical process progressed quite smoothly.After several days of hard work, the medicine for preventing the Venomous Insect was successfully developed."So fast?" Sean was somewhat taken aback when he laid eyes on the finished product. He had anticipated that it would take at least a week to develop the medicine.Who would have imagined that it would only take a few days?Molly smiled and replied, "Teamwork makes the dream work."Sean cast a glance at the
Chapter 1816"Mr. Ballard, don't you think about it?"Meeting Molly's meaningful gaze, Mr. Ballard felt helpless and amused."What are you talking about?"He raised his hand and was about to teach Molly a lesson.She smiled and avoided him, "Mr. Ballard, it's a rare chance. You should think about it." Logan and Lesley covered their mouths and sniggered nearby.Although they hadn't spent much time with Yolanda, they could both see her affection for Mr. Ballard.But Mr. Ballard deliberately kept his distance from Yolanda, and they didn't know what he was thinking.However, as the younger generation, they couldn't say anything about the things of the elders.Molly's joke made Yolanda a little embarrassed, but when she saw Mr. Ballard not answer the question directly, a sense of frustration flashed across her eyes.She watched Mr. Ballard quietly and sighed in her heart.She thought, 'It is all right. It is enough that I can stay by his side.'During the few days that Elton s
