Luca glanced at her eldest son. She did not know why, but as long as her other kids were with him, she felt at ease.
Lanie was like a mini version of Luke. When something happened, he could calmly analyze the situation. He was smart. Even when it came to adult matters, he could explain things with great clarity.
Luca nodded in agreement, and Luke remained silent.
When they arrived at Crawford Manor, Luke went straight into Old Master Crawford’s study.
Luca sat in the living room with the kids. Mr. Griffin served them tea and snacks.
Tommy said, “Lanie, Rainie, let's go read some books.”
“Sure, let's go read,” Lanie agreed, leading his younger siblings upstairs. The grown-ups’ business was not something they needed to worry about. As long as they took care of themselves and did not make the adults worry, that was all that mattered.
Luca watched the kids go upstairs, feeling a bit lost. What should she do now?
Mr. Griffin noticed her boredom and smiled. “Ms. Craw, Old Master Crawford recently took some advice and planted some medicinal herbs in the backyard. Would you be interested in having a look?”
Luca was not particularly interested in growing herbs. However, since she had nothing else to do and considering that it was related to her field of expertise, turning down the offer might seem rude.
Hence, Luca nodded and replied, “Sure, I'll take a look.”
Mr. Griffin led the way.
Luca arrived at the back garden and noticed a greenhouse had been set up. “Did Old Master Crawford have this built specifically for growing medicinal herbs?”
“Yes.” Mr. Griffin nodded. “It's all managed mechanically. There's automated watering, pest control, and fertilizing. Old Master Crawford loves spending time here, and he’s quite fond of these herbs.”
Luca’s curiosity was piqued. Before she saw the greenhouse, she assumed Old Master Crawford was just dabbling and was not too serious about it.
However, after seeing this, she realized she was wrong.
Old Master Crawford had always approached things professionally.
Even if it started as a hobby, he had gone out of his way to have a proper greenhouse built by experts. Seeing this, Luca became genuinely interested in the herbs planted here.
She asked Mr. Griffin, “What kind of herbs are planted here?”
“I’m not too sure, but according to Old Master Crawford, they’re rare and valuable species that require very specific conditions, which is why they’re grown in the greenhouse,” explained Mr. Griffin as he opened the door and invited her inside.
“The seeds were quite expensive, but so far, the cultivation has been going smoothly.”
As Luca stepped into the greenhouse, the fragrance of herbs filled the air.
Previously, she did not have any particular feelings toward the smell of herbs.
However, ever since she started learning about medicine from Shanks, she had grown accustomed to the scent of medicinal herbs and had even come to enjoy their refreshing fragrance.
She felt that the fresh fragrance of these medicinal herbs had a calming, almost uplifting effect on the mind.
Luca started her tour from the entrance, taking in the sight.
Inside the greenhouse, the area was divided into sections, with each section dedicated to a specific type of medicinal herb.
Small signs were placed in front of each, providing brief descriptions.
Luca asked, “Did Old Master Crawford set all of this up himself?”
Mr. Griffin smiled and explained, “Old Master Crawford had the labels printed and placed here. The herbs are quite valuable, and there are many varieties. He was worried he wouldn’t remember everything, so he had the signs made to help him distinguish between them and keep track of their needs."
