Chapter 264



.

The call was quickly answered, and a clear female voice greeted him respectfully. “Master, is something wrong?”

Silvester’s son knew that his father had a direct disciple, who was a woman, but he had never seen her. However, the two had spoken on the phone many times before.

He coughed. “Sister, it’s me.”

“Oh… Is something wrong?”

Silvester’s son said, “I have someone here who wants to buy Zabe’s Soothing Pills at a high price. Do you have time to help me refine one?”

The other party’s voice was lazy. “The master wants to sell it?”

Silvester’s son nodded. “Yes, the other party has offered two million dollars.”

Nora was speechless.

Among the herbs needed to refine the Soothing Pill, only the 500-year-old ginseng was valuable. The rest added up to about ten thousand dollars at most. That ginseng alone could be bought at auction for a million.

Who was this retard spending two million dollars to buy a medicine?

He had completely forgotten that Silvester had only refined one pill in the past. If this thing spread, wouldn’t the one pill be worth millions?

He yawned. “I just finished a batch. I’ll give you one.”

Silvester’s son immediately said, “I’ll split the money with you.”

“No need.” Nora originally didn’t want to say anything, but suddenly remembered that she had used Harmonia Pharmacy’s 500-year-old ginseng. She simply said, “Give me 500-year ginseng!”

Indeed, such an ancient ginseng was needed to refine the Soothing Pill.

Her father had only managed to refine one pill.

If he gave him only one, what would happen if he failed?

Therefore, he immediately said, “Okay, I’ll give you two!”

“Okay.”

Nora said, “I’ll have someone send it to you later.”

“No problem.”

At that point, Nora was back with the Andersons. After receiving the call, she called Sheril and pointed her in the direction of Doctor Zabe in addition to the reward for the pills.

When Sheril’s teacher found out, Sheril offered to deliver the medicine without hesitation.

Before leaving, he kept muttering, “I wonder how much a pill can be sold for. Our 500-year-old ginseng was really precious…”

Sheril smiled, “You’ll know when you get there.”

An hour later.

A pill wrapped in foil and placed in an exquisite iron box was shipped to Silvester’s house.

The old master was elderly and strictly in the Andersons’ pharmaceutical factory, so not many people knew him.

Yvonne took one look at him and mistook him for Doctor Zabe’s direct disciple.

Silvester’s son took the pills and handed the old master a box. “This is the agreed fee.”

The old master took it and turned to leave.

After leaving Silvester’s house, the old master opened the box. “What good medicine. I wonder what the cost is…”

Just as he was thinking, he saw two 500-year-old ginseng lying quietly in the box. One of them looked even better than the one Nora had used.

The old master was speechless.

His hands trembled as he carefully embraced the box. At the same time, he murmured in his heart, “Oh my God, this time it was really something big! I’ve taken a treasure.”

At the hospital.

After buying the medicine, Yvonne returned to the Smith’s house.

During dinner, Ian was still hospitalized and did not return home. However, the monthly family dinner continued as usual. Fifteen to sixteen people gathered at a round table.

Quentin was a secret figure in the Smiths. Very few people in the family knew him, so he had never participated in these family gatherings.

Joel hugged Mia and patiently fed her.

Seeing this, Yvonne smiled, “Joel, Mia is too thin. She should eat more.”

Mia’s arms and legs were thin. She immediately said, “I know how to eat a lot!”.

With that, she kept eating.

Joel stroked her head.

Brandon was very gross when he ate. He sat down next to Mia and kicked her under the table several times, then accidentally knocked over a cup.

Brandon’s father, Warren, couldn’t help but scold him. The family at the table was in harmony.

Suddenly, Warren said, “Why is Mrs. Hunt suddenly throwing such a big banquet?”

The moment he said this, everyone at the table looked at Joel.

Joel calmly said, “I haven’t heard.”

Everyone was relieved.

Warren smiled, “Then let’s go. By the way, Yvonne, have you prepared a gift?”

Yvonne smiled, “Yes, I have.”

Warren nodded. “Yes. I think this banquet might have been arranged for you and Justin to meet again. Wasn’t it to pair the two of you many years ago?”

Yvonne lowered her head with a flushed face. “Warren, we’re eating. Stop talking.”

Warren laughed. “Haha, are you still shy, Yvonne, what’s wrong with that? Even though you’re not a biological daughter, we grew up together and everyone treats you like their real sister. You don’t have to be afraid. Even though the Hunts outnumber the Smiths a bit, it’s also the reason Joel doesn’t compete. Our families are already on equal footing! Besides, Justin has a son. As the Smiths’ only daughter, you are not unworthy of him at all! Don’t feel inferior.”

Yvonne was speechless.

She was really rubbing salt in her wound.

Was it appropriate to say such things in public?

However, she dared not lose her temper. She smiled and nodded. “Yes.”

Warren asked again, “Have you prepared a gift?”

Yvonne smiled, “Yes.”

Warren asked curiously, “What is it? This gift must be presentable! If our families are going to be united by marriage, we must be up to the task.”

Yvonne nodded. “I’ve prepared a Soothing Pill.”

Warren frowned instantly. “Can a simple pill be presented as a gift? Isn’t it common on the streets?”

The others looked at Yvonne.

Seeing herself being watched by so many people, Yvonne took a sip of the soup and smiled, “It’s the Zabe Corporation’s Soothing Pill.”

Warren was stunned at her words. “Oh my goodness, did you really buy the Zabe Corporation’s Soothing Pill? This gift is really enough!”

The others also praised, “Yvonne is really worthy of being raised by Uncle Ian. Her taste is really different! This gift is magnificent! No amount of treasures can compare to these kind intentions.”

Yvonne smiled and did not speak. She looked carefully at Joel, only to see him frown and look at her.

For some reason, her heart skipped a beat. She asked carefully, “Joel, is my gift inappropriate?”

Joel looked away and said calmly, “It’s fine.”

Yvonne sighed in relief, but heard him say, “But it looks like Justin already has a girlfriend.”

Warren was stunned to hear this. “He has a girlfriend, how can he have a girlfriend, hadn’t we agreed to a political marriage?”

Joel smiled… “It can be considered a political marriage.”
