Chapter 146
The aura suddenly changed and it felt like the temperature had dropped to subzero. Lily could feel
the murderous stare in front of her even without raising her head.
After a long silence, udine asked with a trembling voice, "Don''t tell me you''re going to marry this
woman."
"Yes, it''s her."
p!
udine pped her son across his face,pletely frightening Lily. Lily covered her mouth in
shock and didn''t even dare to breathe.
The woman in front of her who might be her mother- in-w was so scary. She was the
embodiment of ''looks could kill''.
"Are you taking revenge on me? Are you trying to avenge Yasmine by marrying such an improper
woman? Marriage is not child''s y. Not any random dirty woman can be my daughter-in-
law!!"
udine''s eyes were wide with anger, and she looked a thousand times more terrible than the evil
mother-inws of legends. Lily couldn''t even react to her hurtful words because she waspletely
shocked by the fierce look.
"My life is in my own hands. You can''t decide who I marry. I came here today as a courtesy to
inform you and not to ask for your permission. Now that I have informed you, we are leaving."
With that, Scott stood up, pulled Lily-who was in a petrified state — close to him, and strode
towards the door.
"Stop!"
udine roared hysterically. "I promise you that I won''t oppress Yasmine anymore. Stay far away
from this woman now!"
"Do you think I''m going to believe you?"
Scott asked sarcastically as he dragged Lily out of the house.
"I''ll count to three. If you don''t stop, I''ll disown you!"
Lily was stunned and she tried to stay, but Scott turned a deaf ear to her protests and continued to
drag her through the door of the apartment.
udine chased after him. "I don''t agree. I definitely will not agree! Without my permission, you
may not marry this woman!" she roared.
Hearing this, Scott suddenly stopped. With indifference, he turned around and asked coldly, "Did
you get my permission when you got divorced?"
That he kept silent didn''t mean that he didn''t care. A child whose mother abandoned him when he
was eight years old had every right to hate her.
Lily could tell that Scott was in a bad mood. After struggling for a long time, she said cautiously,
"You don''t have to quarrel with your mother over me. If your mother doesn''t like me, then you should
marry somebody that she approves of." Scott was silent as he frowned.
"I''m being a little full of myself. You were arguing with your mother over Yasmine, so who the hell
am I..."
"I think you''d better think about the marriage again. Your mother is right. Marriage is not child''s y.
There are many ways to stop her from hurting Yasmine, and you don''t have to pay for it with your
happiness."
Lily talked endlessly. Finally, Scott couldn''t stand it anymore. He stopped the car with a whoosh,
held her face, and leaned over to kiss her without warning.
At that moment, she felt the world spin. But at the same time, it was as if the end of the world was
coming.
Lily''s mind went nk. She looked at the man — whom she had secretly loved for two years—in
front of her in shock. This can''t be a dream because his breath was so warm against her face.
Scott let go of her and panted, saying, "That was the only way to shut you up, so please forgive my
abruptness."
He started the engine again and continued to drive. The kiss was really effective, because she
didn''t say another word for the rest of the way.
She hadn''t expected udine to find her the next day.
They sat in a cafe opposite the school where Lily waited for udine to speak. udine stared at
her for a while and said, "So annoying." Her stubbornness surfaced. Lily raised her head and said,
"If you have nothing else to say, I''ll go back. I''m supposed to be working now."
"Leave my son."
udine didn''t mince her words. Lily snorted sarcastically. "If I disagree, will you throw a check at
me?"
"You wish! I don''t need to waste my money on a person like you."
Lily took a deep breath and told herself not to get angry. She slowly took a 100 dor bill from her
wallet and shouted at the waiter, "Bill, please."
Just as she was about to leave, she heard udine''s warning. "Don''t say that I didn''t warn you. If
you marry my son, I''ll make you suffer for the rest of your life."
"Don''t worry. I''ll keep your son far away from you so that you won''t have to see him again."
udine watched Lily disappear and she almost fainted in anger.
The days without work were boring. Yasmine stayed at home every day and when she thought that
there was no bright future, tears began to flow from her eyes.
That day, she browsed through an online maternity forum and identally saw a post about praying
for children. Suddenly, a superstitious idea shed through her mind: ''Why don''t I go to the Imperial
Mountain to beg for a child?'' Her mother- in-w always said that the Buddha was ever-present at
Mount Emperor and always showed his magic. Although she didn''t believe that, going for a walk
was preferable to the boring life at home.
She was really depressed.
After making up her mind, she set off and didn''t tell her family that she was going to the mountain
alone.
The Imperial Mountain was a gorgeous sight at any time of the day. There were more vivid scenes
at the top of the mountain than at the foot of the mountain. Yasmine saw all kinds of products being
sold including snacks and toys. In the past, she would not have paid attention to these stalls,
because she was an elegant woman. She was unlike those little girls who liked to y.
But now, she was not what she used to be. She was not aplete woman now and wasn''t elegant
anymore. She walked through the crowd and looked even sillier than the little girls. She would stay
for a long time when she saw something she was interested in, but then she wouldn''t buy anything
and would just walk away silently in the end.
She went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and knelt down in front of the statue of the Goddess of
Childbirth. She prayed sincerely, "I''m willing to exchange ten years of my life for a healthy child.
From now on, I will not hope for anything else."
Tears dripped on the floor of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the eyes of the deity statues were
on her. If there were any gods and goddesses in the heaven, then please give her a child. This was
her only and final wish for the rest of her life.
After praying, Yasmine came out of the temple. It was very lively outside. Listening to the voices
around her, her mood finally lifted.
"I''ll cure your sicknesses! I''ve seen all kinds of difficult diseases, and I''ve treated and healed every
single one of them!"
Yasmine heard the shouts and she fixed her attention on an old man who was over 70 years old.
She squatted in front of the old man and looked at the sign in front of him. He imed to treat all
kinds of skin diseases, stomach diseases, heart diseases, liver disease, kidney disease, and
infertility.
"Infertility?" Yasmine was suddenly stunned. She asked nkly, "Can you cure infertility?"
The old man nodded with a smile. "Yes. Do you want me to treat you?"
"How are you going to treat it?"
The old man pointed at a pile of herbs behind him. "Of course. Get treated with traditional
medicine."
She pondered for a few seconds, smiled bitterly, and turned around to leave.
"Hey, girl, don''t you want to be treated?"
"You can''t cure me," Yasmine replied gloomily.
"If you think I''m blowing my own horn, my grandpa was the most popr imperial physician of his
time. There was nothing that he couldn''t cure. Don''t look down on me and my little stall. In fact, I
don''t want to treat people who don''t believe in me. Our medical skills have been passed down from
generation to generation. I am confident that I can cure diseases that technology cannot cure. Of
course, that depends on whether you believe me or not." If it was the past, Yasmine would have left
without looking back. But now, she was curious mainly because of her desperation. There was
nothing to lose by believing. Believing gave her a little hope.
asionally, she would read books about the ancient warriors'' abilities. Furthermore, she felt like
she could trust the old man in front of her.
"Well, would you take a look?"

"Please take a seat, youngdy."
The old man pointed at the stool next to her feet. When Yasmine sat down, he said, "Give me your
right hand."
Yasmine stretched out her right hand and he began to feel her pulse with a serious expression.
"Miss, your uterus is not well developed."
His words stirred up a storm in Yasmine''s heart. She was shocked and asked, "How did you know
that?"
The old man smiled and said, "If I don''t know it, how am I supposed to cure you?"
Her dejected heart started to spring back to life. A doctor who didn''t need advanced technology to
detect the problem with her uterus felt like a god to her.
"Do you think it can be cured?"
"It''s not a big problem."
The old man finished the diagnosis of her pulse and said seriously, "Traditional doctors think that
this ailment often starts with kidney deficiency when it is congenital. Perhaps it is due tock of
nutrition, or long-term illness through blood loss. Perhaps the uterus lost its nutrition and
nourishment. It takes nutrition and blood to develop the uterus. Ideally, the kidney''s essence would
rush into the blood. So, if the kidney''s formation is irregr and it''s congenital, the deficiency of the
blood could cause kidney damage, and theck of a properly-functioning kidney, in turn, affects the
development of your uterus."
Yasmine listened to him and nodded urgently. "If you can cure my disease, I will definitely thank you
with wealth in the future."
"A doctor''s heart is a parents'' heart. Youngdy, your trust in me is the best reward I can ask for. I''ll
get the medicine for you now, and you can take it punctually when you get back."
The old man turned around and took a stic bag. He grabbed the herbs from the ck and dirty
bags, and there was abel on each bag. He took it and said, "I''ll give you a prescriptionter. From
now on, you can go to Asian herbal stores to buy herbs ording to the prescription I gave you.
You can sleep together while you are taking this medication, but you can''t take other medicine,
otherwise there might be side effects."
