The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2199

Frank chuckled. "Preparing medicine. What else?"

Soon, a retailer arrived and passed Frank the herbs he picked.

Frank quickly turned and left, while Sadie hurried after him. "I think I know you even less now, master."

Frank chuckled. "Would I still be necessary if you understood everything I do?"

Sadie smiled in wry amusement—that must be true, as Frank was virtually a divine being whom even Sally York feared. Would a mere mortal like Sadie really understand his ways?

Soon, they returned to the apartment.

However, when the hunchback saw the medicine Frank was holding, she snapped coolly, "Are you kidding me?"

Frank shrugged. "Trying won't kill you, and there's nothing potentially lethal here like arsenic. Don't you agree?"

Seeing that the hunchback remained skeptical, Sadie pressed, "You can trust me even if you don't believe my mentor, right? You know me—don't you think that my complete faith in him is already testament to his character?"

The hunchback thought about it and nodded—Sadie was infamous for being headstrong, and that she would defer entirely to Frank and even become his apprentice was unexpected. The kid must have some potential and had no reason to lie, so she eventually allowed both Frank and Sadie inside.

Frank headed straight to the kitchen, putting everything into a pot with Sadie's help and cooking it over a slow fire.

Sadie frowned. "Are these herbs enough? It really doesn't look like how they do it on TV…"

Frank flicked her on the forehead. "Quit watching pointless shows, though I'll admit that you still need specialized cauldrons for the finest herbs. This one, however, doesn't need that.

"Also, I will give it to you straight—Draconian traditional medicine doesn't need specialized tools at all. Families in older times only had clay pots, so what do you think they had to use?"

Sadie nodded, but only half understood.

"Now we'll just keep it cooking for another half an hour," Frank then told her, "and then it's ready for consumption."
