Chapter 216


    “S-So what can we do?” Leanna asked, puzzled.


    Matthew replied, “The only way is to let Gemma regenerate another heart. While the heart grows, it will


    squeeze into the living space of the mother worm. In order to survive, the oppressed mother worm will


    consume the toxins to feed herself.


    By the time the heart has taken its form, the toxins would have been consumed by the mother worm,


    and that’s when the mother worm can be removed. With that, Gemma will have a new heart and will be


    able to live like a regr person!”


    Dumbstruck, Leanna stammered, “C-Can this be done? Can a person grow a heart again?”


    Matthew shook his head. “Of course you can’t grow another heart, but you can nt one.”


    “nt one? What are you nting?”


    “A heart!” he eximed. “It’s the same as nting the fields—sowing, germinating and then it grows


    fruits.”


    This got her more confused than ever. “W-What do you mean by that?”


    Chuckling, he exined, “It means nting a developing heart into her body, and the process while the


    heart grows gradually is called nting the heart.”


    Still bewildered, she pressed on, “I-Isn’t this a heart transnt?”


    “It’s not the same,” he said while shaking his head again. “A heart transnt involves a fully formed


    heart, but to nt one, you need an undeveloped heart.”


    The look on her face changed suddenly. “S-So does it have to be a heart from a child?”


    Matthewughed and continued, “What are you thinking about? There are some evil doctors who


    would use this method, but such a harmful technique is detrimental to one’s merits. What I mean is,


    cultivating a heart from a maternal body.”


    Only then could Leanna breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that. She really couldn’t bring herself to


    do it if the heart of another child was needed, as her conscience wouldn’t allow her to proceed with this


    method.


    “So how does the maternal body cultivate a heart?” she asked.


    “This is the mostplicated part!” Matthew sighed. “First, you must find someone who is willing to


    cultivate the heart, and she must have a matching blood type with her.”


    “I-I’ll think of a way,” Leanna said immediately.


    He cast her a nce and went on, “You can do all that by spending some money. The truly difficult part


    in cultivating a heart in a maternal body is to get hold of a type of herb called the Clemantis Grass,


    which is rare and hard to find.”


    In her anxiety, Leanna grabbed him and asked, “Mr. Larson, what’s the Clemantis Grass? W-Where


    can I find it?”


    With a nod, Matthew assured her, “I’ll keep a lookout for this herb for you. In the meantime, I’ll give you


    some prescriptions for Gemma’s mother to help ease her suffering temporarily.”


    Overjoyed, she eximed, “Really? T-Thank you so much, Mr. Larson!”


    “President Sandel, I’ll definitely do what I promised you before, but c-can you please first release your


    grip?” he asked, slightly irritated.


    It was then did Leanna realize that she had unknowingly gripped his hand from all her excitement, and


    her face blushed from the warmth she was feeling from his hand.


    At the same time, she also felt an unusual emotion passing through her chest. She was once the most


    beautiful woman in Eastcliff with countless men chasing after her, like bees on flowers, looking at her


    as if they wanted to strip her naked.


    After all these years, Matthew was the only man who looked at her with clear eyes full of sincerity and


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    without anything unusual, so she couldn’t help but scrutinize the man in front of her now.


    This good-looking man who looked a little ordinary had an inexplicable charm about him. For many


    years, Leanna’s heart, which had been still like the waters, suddenly skipped a little at this moment.
