Chapter 1335


    Since Dominic had said so, Austin hoped that he would be able to rx.


    He had not had a good night''s sleep in a long time. On top of the time he was imprisoned, he had not


    slept peacefully for a long time, even after returning, because of the physical torture he would


    experience.


    The four hours of sleep he had just had were the best he had ever had. When he woke up, he felt


    much more refreshed.


    “Okay, I trust you!" Austin nodded.


    With that, the old man got up to check his pulse and pondered for a while before he turned around and


    left without saying a word.


    Dominic washed and disinfected his hands downstairs before going to the backyard.


    It was already dark, but the backyard was brightly lit, reflecting a sizeable herb garden, which looked


    beautiful and serene.


    He walked over to the flower section and saw his apprentice squatting down among the herbs. Her


    stomach made it inconvenient for her to squat down. Instead, she was bent over slightly as she


    stretched out her hands to pick the needed herbs.


    "Is there anything missing?" Dominic asked, not afraid of scaring her.


    She had very sharp ears. She would have heard his footsteps long before he got close.


    Sure enough, Lily was not surprised : "I think we have almost everything. Even if something is missing,


    I don''t think you''ll be able to find a recement so quickly."”


    "That''s not true! Tell me what''s missing. I''m not trying to boast, but there isn''t a herb that I can''t find!"


    How can he allow himself to be embarrassed in front of his apprentice? On top of that, this ce was


    not an herb garden for no reason. He had all sorts of herbs here. Any herbs he did not have would


    mean it was a world treasure.


    After picking a few more, Lily straightened up and looked at him." Spices!"


    "Spices..." Dominic, who was full of confidence a second ago, now froze instantly. "Spices? Why are


    you talking about spices here? You know I don''t dabble in those things. Why do you need spices? Are


    you starting your old business again?"


    Lily shook her head. "No. I have other uses.


    After bending over for so long, she straightened up and patted her waist lightly before saying to the old


    man, "How is your precious grandnephew?"


    "He’s not my precious grandnephew!" The old man had a look of disdain on his face. He did not realize


    that he had admitted himself to this rtionship unknowingly. "He looks stable. I took his pulse before


    we don''t tend to it properly, he will rpse."


    "So, we''ve not cured the root of the problem." Lily was not surprised. "However, judging from what


    happened, this method seems feasible."


    “Of course. Ancestral methods like these..." The old man looked proud. After all, it was he who


    proposed for her to do this in the first ce.


    Halfway through his sentence, something came to his mind. "You said earlier that the silver needle


    controls people''s minds..."


    "I haven''t figured that out yet, but it''s not as simple as relying on the needles. I think we''d still need


    some medication. I''ve done aboratory analysis on that silver needle but have yet to draw a


    conclusion."


    Shifting her body, Lily continued, "I may not drop by as often in the next few days. I will leave your

    grandnephew to you. Also..."


    After a pause, she looked deeply at the old man and said, "Take care of yourself."


    Although this statement from Lily wasn''t particrly unusual, Dominic found it to be very moving. He


    wanted tough, but his eyes began tearing up.


    He sniffed hard and said, "When did you learn to be so empathetic? I''m not used to it!"
