Chapter 293
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 293<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, the Rehmannia glutinosa you mentioned is too expensive. It\u2019s not worth it to trade for these few herbs.\u201d Kathy replied coolly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI still think it\u2019s worth it, Mrs. Joseph. It\u2019s indispensable for treating your grandpa\u2019s health.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo buts. This is our gift to grandpa. This is going to show my sincerity. Do you get that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy could only remain silent.<\/p>\n
Although she knew fully well that Joseph was disgustingly rich, but this price tag of tens of millions of yuan had far exceeded what she could accept as something normal.<\/p>\n
However, when she thought of her grandpa\u2019s health, she supposed that she would probably do the same thing if this magical herb could really improve his health.<\/p>\n
It was just that Joseph was by her side, and he had helped her resolve most of her problems.<\/p>\n
Kathy stood on tiptoes as she levelled her gaze with his.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got it, Joseph. I know why you are being so nice to me\u2026\u201d Kathy looked at him with passionate eyes.<\/p>\n
From time to time, she would begin to feel that this was all part of her imagination.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, the man standing in front of her could only be Joseph.<\/p>\n
They were married for a little more than a year.<\/p>\n
Joseph immediately glued his lips to her, and it was an intense and domineering kiss. He clasped his hands on her waist and their bodies intertwined.<\/p>\n
All his answers could be found in his kiss\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
The next day, John sent the Rehmannia glutinosa from the Joseph\u2019s mansion to them. Joseph and Kathy once again returned to this stall.<\/p>\n
The old man was already wrapping up the herb which was asked for by Kathy. He took the Rehmannia glutinosa in his palms and a trembling excitement was evident in his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t believe that I would be able to lay my eyes on this while I am still alive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUncle, we will take our leave now. Thanks for the herbs.\u201d Kathy bade him farewell politely.<\/p>\n
Kathy didn\u2019t understand the full extent of the powers of this Rehmannia glutinosa. This herb was apparently so rare and treasured that even the boss was in such an awe.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t help asking Joseph, \u201cDo you know what purpose that herb serves? Why was it sold in limited numbers back then?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is used to control the spread of cancer cells but it never got its proper sanction and affirmation from authorities. Therefore it couldn\u2019t be launched to the market publicly. However, the effects of this herb was so shocking that it shook the world at that time. The impact had caused it to become a revered item which was so rare that even one couldn\u2019t buy it with a sky-high price.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy listened to him while feeling astonished. No wonder\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why do you have this herb in your possession?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone gave it to me a few years back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, it means that you have several rare herbs in your possession all along?\u201d Kathy raised her eyebrows.<\/p>\n
Joseph smiled in response, \u201cThere is a herb chamber owned by the Josephs. It is filled with all kinds of rare herbs and medicines. Let me show you that place when we go back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWow! You are really a treasure collector!\u201d Kathy exclaimed.<\/p>\n
\u201cTreasure collector?\u201d Joseph squinted his brows.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I am saying that my husband is amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s smile deepened even further, and Kathy was almost intoxicated by his smile the more she stared at his face.<\/p>\n
His smile was always so irresistible.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday again. Zack\u2019s birthday party was held in the garden of the Booth mansion.<\/p>\n
Jennifer had already set everything in order, and Kathy also came earlier to help.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere is Joseph?\u201d Jennifer asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has a meeting today, so he\u2019ll be late.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are going back very soon. I will be sad if that happens.\u201d Jennifer sighed.<\/p>\n
Although the Hilton family had settled down in City N, she still had to keep Jennifer company during this period of time.<\/p>\n
\u201cMum, I\u2019ll stop by often.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat will be great. I am just worried about dad\u2026\u201d Jennifer\u2019s eyes gradually reddened.<\/p>\n
At the mention of Zack\u2019s name, anybody would fall into a bad mood.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll go visit grandpa.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy immediately consoled him, \u201cGrandpa, of course that\u2019s not it. Joseph is rushing back as we speak. We have prepared a gift for you long time ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
After saying that, Kathy handed the herb container to her grandfather.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, this porcelain container has been passed down since the era of Qing Yong. It is an antique with exceptional quality, and the herb inside it is even more precious. It will help with your health tremendously.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dear granddaughter, I like this porcelain container since it looks really good. However, I don\u2019t think the herb will be able to help me. I know that my time is up. After all, I know my own body the best.\u201d Zack said with emotion.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, as long as there is even a tiny hope, I will never give up on you.\u201d Kathy replied with conviction.<\/p>\n
The butler hurriedly summoned the family doctor since they finally had this herb. They were visibly happy at this fact.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Joseph, this is the precise combination of herbs that I\u2019m looking for. I really couldn\u2019t find them no matter how I sought.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy answered with a smile, \u201cThis is all because of Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I\u2019ll have to thank him for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, this is my gift to you. It is an antique as well, but it is one that was passed down from the Ming dynasty.\u201d Bertie announced while presenting a gift of her own.<\/p>\n
Zack let out a guffaw, \u201cI was not able to bid for this porcelain piece at the auction last time. How were you able to buy it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, I can\u2019t tell you the details for now, but as long as you\u2019re happy now that you can own it, I will be happy too.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course I\u2019m happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The ambience at the ceremony wasn\u2019t too bustling, but all the family members presented their gifts one after another, which put the grandfather in a good mood.<\/p>\n
Kathy still didn\u2019t see any signs of Joseph after so long. Since John had gone to the Marshall Group, she lost all contact with him too.<\/p>\n
Bertie handed her a glass of red wine as she asked Kathy with concern, \u201cWhat is on your mind?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has nothing to do with you.\u201d Kathy bit her lips as she replied faintly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt must have something to do with Joseph, right? I don\u2019t think he values grandpa\u2019s birthday at all.\u201d Bertie said coldly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not true. He\u2019s very concerned with grandpa.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen where is he now? The ceremony is coming to an end, and grandpa has already gone back to his room.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2026\u201d Kathy\u2019s head drooped.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a weird sensation came from somewhere in her body. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-959","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
