Without waiting for Lance to answer, Deanna asked again, "Mr. Mercer, is the soil here naturally formed?"
She looked at him, with a hint of excitement in her expression.
Lance lightly hmm-ed and replied, "Yes, I was attracted to the soil here from the beginning, so I planted many precious flowers and plants here."
Deanna glanced back, feeling a bit stunned.
Does this man even know the value of this soil?
Planting flowers and plants here seems like a waste.
Deanna couldn't help but shake her head and comment, "What a waste of natural resources!"
Lance just smiled faintly, seeming indifferent.
He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Dr. Deanna, can't these medicinal herbs be cultivated elsewhere?"
Deanna nodded, looking serious.
If everything could be cultivated anywhere, how could it be called precious?
She stood up, "I have tried many places before, but they have never been able to cultivate, so I asked you to see if you could open up an area here..."
If they could be grown here, it would solve a big problem with medicinal herbs in the future.
Lance had no objection to Deanna's proposal.
He nodded, "Alright."
"However, Dr. Deanna, is it still possible to plant now?"
As far as he knew, the growth cycle of these medicinal herbs was not short, especially for such precious ones.
Deanna chuckled lightly, looking confident.
"It's possible!"
"The herbs you need will only be used later on. I've calculated the time. Your body needs at least a year or two of adjustment before you can take them. So, there's plenty of time."
Hearing this, Lance also understood.
He immediately agreed, then quickly called the butler.
"Transplant all the flowers and plants in this backyard to another place. Leave this area empty for Dr. Deanna to cultivate medicinal herbs."
"Yes, sir."
Deanna stood by, looking astonished.
She shook her head and said, "Mr. Mercer, you don't really need so much space. Just give me a piece of land."
She didn't expect Lance to be so generous.
He readily gave her the entire backyard to cultivate medicinal herbs.
For a moment, she was both surprised and delighted.
Lance, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, his brow raised, his black eyes flickering.
"Since we're cultivating, let's cultivate more. These are rare medicinal herbs, right? They'll come in handy in the future."
Deanna was moved and couldn't help but marvel at Lance's generosity.
Lance's words were not wrong. She had been looking for places to cultivate all along. But she had been struggling to find one. Now that she finally had such fertile soil, wouldn't it be a good thing to cultivate more?
With that in mind, Deanna became even more excited.
She nodded and agreed on the spot, "Okay, then I'll thank Mr. Mercer in advance."
Deciding to cultivate medicinal herbs, Deanna immediately began to act.
She first surveyed the soil area of the backyard, then took out pen and paper to start drawing a plan.
After designing it, she handed it to the butler.
"I also need you to build some greenhouses in these areas on the blueprint. Because some herbs are delicate and can only be cultivated in a greenhouse. Otherwise, there may be problems."
The butler nodded, noting Deanna's request.
"Dr. Deanna, is there anything else that needs preparation?"
Deanna pointed to the blueprint and mentioned several other things that needed to be prepared.
"Okay, Dr. Deanna."
...
Time flew by, and before she knew it, it was already evening.
As the sun set and the sky darkened, Deanna suddenly realized that she hadn't gone to pick up the two kids yet.
She brushed off the soil from her body and looked at Lance.
"Mr. Mercer, it's getting late. I still need to pick up the kids from school. I'll come back another day to work on this."
As she spoke, she prepared to leave.
But before she could go, Lance vetoed her decision.
He looked serious, "Dr. Deanna, you can't leave now."
Deanna was startled, "Why, are those people still tracking us?"
At the mention of this, Deanna also became nervous.
Lance nodded, "After dealing with the people in the afternoon, they sent more people over. It's dangerous to go down the mountain now. Even if you manage to leave safely, it's risky if they follow you to the kindergarten."
"Dr. Deanna, I suggest you entrust someone to pick up the kids..."
Deanna was completely dumbfounded. She didn't expect such a thing to happen just because she hitched a ride.
After thinking about it, she felt that what Lance said made sense.
Deanna hmmed lightly and immediately took out her phone to call Julia.
"Julia, I have something urgent to attend to today, so I won't be going home. Could you please help me pick up the two kids from school?"
"Sure, I'm just getting off work now. I'll head over there."
Julia didn't ask much and agreed directly to Deanna's request.
