Previously, there had been no plans for a return, but now that her grandson’s illness could be cured, he would have to go back. The Lancaster family couldn’t be without its leader.
“What do you think, Ana?” Harrison hadn’t been keen on the idea and had already declined his grandmother’s suggestion, but seeing Anastasia’s interest, he asked for her opinion.
Anastasia knew Harrison would have to return eventually. She thought for a moment. “How about after the new year? If we go back now, it might delay your treatment…”
“Is the treatment starting?” Elder Mrs. Lancaster asked, her voice filled with excitement.
Harrison’s expression shifted as well, his gaze fixed on the girl beside him, his heart stirring.
Anastasia smiled. “Yes. The final, crucial herb has been successfully cultivated, so we can begin.”
Although she hadn’t been to the botanical research institute recently, she had been keeping a close eye on their progress. She knew the moment the mutated Uling herb was successfully grown.
The news had come in just ten minutes ago, and she was planning to head to the institute to see it for herself.
“Then we’re not going back! We’ll return after the treatment is finished!” Elder Mrs. Lancaster declared decisively.
Stella pouted, casting a distrustful glance at Anastasia.
Could this woman really cure Uncle Harrison? She found it hard to believe.
She was only two or three years older than Stella herself. It just didn’t make sense that someone of a similar age could be a genius while she was… well, not as smart.
“You’re going to the institute?” Harrison asked.
Anastasia nodded. This was the medicine that could save Harrison’s life. She couldn’t wait to see it.
Harrison’s brow furrowed.
“…Alright.”
Observing their interaction, Elder Mrs. Lancaster beamed, her heart full of warmth.
With no other choice, Anastasia contacted the institute and asked them to send over the data on the mutated Uling herb.
Meanwhile, at the institute.
Upon receiving Anastasia’s request, the director, Dennis, sneered and called a meeting with the researchers.
Hearing Anastasia’s demand, one of them immediately scoffed, “What does she mean, she can just take what we’ve worked so hard to create? Who does she think she is?”
“The mutated Uling herb is the result of your tireless efforts, Director. She can’t just demand it!”
