Chapter 900: It’s a Little… Embarrassing


    “What? How do you make it bloom earlier?”


    Florence picked up his words with full alert, and her hot gaze shot towards Gideon who was


    standing outside the room.


    “It’s recorded in here. I happen to have read it.”


    Gideon pointed at the book in his hand but he didn’t go into the room immediately. Instead, he


    looked at Theodore questioningly.


    He was very aware that Theodore wanted him out of this ce as soon as possible. He wouldn’t


    want Gideon to even see more than he already did in this ce.


    Gloominess was written over Theodore''s face, but in the end, he still nodded to allow Gideon to go


    into the room.


    Since this matter concerned Ernest’s life, he could only endure and put up with it for a little longer.


    Only then did Gideon walk into the room while carrying the Book of Herbs.


    Faced with Florence’s scorching gaze, Gideon leveled the pages of the book and pointed at it, “It’s


    recorded here. Look, the Yelo on average needs three to five years to grow, and it takes a full ten


    years for it to bear a fruit.”


    As he spoke, he nced at the nts growing near the fountain and shook his head, “These stalks


    are just budding. If you want to see it bloom, you will need to wait for at least two more years.”


    It would take longer than that for it to bear fruits.


    Upon hearing that, Florence’s face turned pale. It felt like the Yelo needed to go through a Big Bang


    to see it bloom, not to mention getting its fruit.


    Ernest didn’t have that much time to wait around.


    She hastily asked, “You said that the timing can be moved forward. How can that happen?”


    “Here.”


    Gideon pointed to the lower part of that page and continued, “ording to what’s written here,


    those who need this flower will develop a kind of hormone due to thew of attraction in between


    the person and the flower. If that person bathed himself in this hot spring of the fountain for three


    days, the Yelo can blossom and bear a fruit in no time.”


    “Are you serious?”


    Florence had her breath taken away when she heard that. This was the first time she heard


    something like this. She was amazed that such mechanisms existed in this world.


    She looked in the direction of the book and sure enough, she saw what was described by Gideon


    written on it in the exact manner.


    The other part of the page introduced the Yelo in great detail. It even listed the diseases it could


    cure and also the prescriptive methods one had to use.


    Even someone who was not in the medical field like her could understand what she read.


    Theodore smiled with satisfaction, “It’s just great. If it only needed three days for the Yelo to


    blossom, then your disease can be cured, Ernest.”


    After that, Florence just needed to give birth to a baby, and Ernest would be set for life.


    Ernest pursed his lips and asked Gideon, “Can I take a look at this book?”


    “Well…” Gideon hesitated for a moment and said with much difficulty, “Of course, you can read it,


    but this book is special. Only I can ess it, and if you want to read it, you can only see so much.”


    As he said that, Gideon politely ced that book on Ernest’s hands.


    What Gideon said was true enough. Only two pages were revealed from this book to Ernest, and


    when he flipped to the other pages, the content only showed typical geography knowledge.


    This security setting was really well designed.


    Even if someone were to steal this book, this book would be useless to him because outsiders


    wouldn’t be able to read its real content.


    As for how Gideon was able to ess this book, it was a secret he held close to him. He wouldn’t


    just reveal his tricks.


    Ernest examined the two pages avable to him carefully and memorized the introduction about the


    Yelo in his mind. Then, he flipped to another page casually before returning the book to Gideon.


    He demanded, “Reveal this page.”


    “Alright.”


    Gideon hastily moved his finger towards the book and touched the page. Upon his touch, the


    contents of that page immediately changed.


    Another precious medicinal herb was being recorded on this page. Everything about it, including its


    original growing location, was recorded there.


    At the same time, the page which recorded everything about the Yelo turned back to the usual


    geography content. No matter how Ernest flipped the page or touched it, the pages remained


    unchanged.


    It was really a high-end way of using microchip to record something in a book.


    That meant that the contents in it must be authentic too.


    After studying the book from beginning to end carefully, Ernest returned the book to Gideon.


    He told him, “You go out first.”


    Although that method was recorded in The Book of Herbs, he still had to let Collin go through it first.


    After all, this was a tricky professional matter.


    Gideon didn’t have any rejection as he returned his excited gaze back to the book, as if this book


    was his greatest treasure. He had no interest in other objects at the moment.


    That way, everyone was satisfied.


    Finally, the lot of them returned to outside and went back following the route they took toe here.


    Florence looked back at the Yelo in the room and found immense joy in her heart. She could finally


    let go of her greatest worries which she had carried with her for a long time.


    Ernest could be saved, and this made her happy more than anything in the world.


    She also knew that Ernest wanted to leave this ce in order to let Collin verify the authenticity of


    that method but also take time to prepare his daily essentials for him to bathe in the hot spring for


    three days.


    Furthermore, he needed to go back to the Turner family first and instructed certain things.


    Stanford and Phoebe were waiting impatiently at the door for them. They were looking forward to


    their return eagerly.


    When the door was pushed open, Phoebe shot up from her chair nervously and her eyes darted


    towards the inside of that door.


    Even Stanford hadbored breathing now.


    Collin who was leaning on the chair nonchntly had a slight change to his expression too. He


    couldn’t help but stare at the door.


    The Book of Herbs was something he had been longing for. He was wondering whether Gideon was


    able to get it out.


    As the door was opened, Ernest held Florence and they emerged, followed by Theodore.


    Gideon and a butler was right behind them.


    Phoebe immediately asked, “Flory, did you find it?”


    Florence nodded, and she couldn’t hide the smile at the corner of her lips.


    “There was a surprise. We found the Yelo in there too!”


    “What? Really?”


    Phoebe was so shocked that her eyes were bulging. This was way beyond her expectation!


    Stanford looked excitedly at Florence to.


    Florence said with confidence, “It’s true. There are a lot growing in there, just around a fountain with


    a hot spring in it.”


    They all had researched about the Yelo, so they naturally knew that this type of nts always grew


    near fountain or hot springs.


    ording to what Florence had said, they must have found the real deal.


    “This is awesome!”


    Phoebe was so ted that she was jumping up and down, and she reached out to hug Stanford


    tightly in a bear hug.

    Stanford wanted to ask Florence about certain things, but before he could start, he was spooked by


    the sudden hug.


    His body stiffened as he felt the sudden tenderness of the woman hugging him. He felt his ears


    began to burn.


    Phoebe was oblivious to him being so awkward as she rubbed her head excitedly against his chest.


    She was mumbling something excitedly too.


    “Great. With the Yelo, Mr. Hawkins’ life can be saved. Flory can finally live happily ever after. This is


    great news. This is great news.”


    Back then, she had some responsibility about that Benjamin incident. Due to circumstances,


    Ernest’s life was put into danger, which made her feel regretful and uneasy.


    Now that Ernest could be cured and saved, she could finally forgive herself and pull herself out of


    those emotions.


    At the same time, she was happy for Florence. Florence was her beloved best friend, and she could


    attain happiness in her life after all the hardships.


    While he felt a small head burrowing into his chest, Stanford felt his body getting more and more


    stiff. A certain part of him felt like it was on fire, and that heat was spreading all over his body


    through his skin.


    His breathing gradually became ragged too.


    He was in a fluster. There were others watching them.
