The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 705

Simon reached into the drawer behind him, pulled out a packet of traditional medicine, and unrolled it.

"Then tell me, what herbs are in here, and what condition does this prescription treat?"

Claire stepped up, gave it a single glance, and rattled off the ingredients.

Lawler glanced at Simon, silently asking if Claire had gotten it right.

Simon's face was painted with astonishment. This girl really knew her stuff. Not only could she identify every single herb, but she could also perfectly recite their medicinal properties.

Simon was even more impressed with the young woman now.

"You've got a good eye," he praised.

Lawler: "Do you still not believe she isn't my girlfriend?"

Simon, however, felt he was being a bit greedy.

What was wrong with a husband and wife duo—one practicing traditional medicine, the other conventional?

"Don't get cocky. If you let a catch like this slip away, you'll be the one crying later."

Lawler: "This was like talking to a brick wall."

"Just believe whatever you want!"

He gave up trying to explain.

It only seemed to make things worse.

All he could do was hope Claire wasn't offended as he turned to apologize to her.

Claire showed total understanding. "It's fine."

"I'll take you to the backyard," Lawler said, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Okay," Claire agreed, following him to the courtyard behind the clinic.

Silas was out there drying the medicinal herbs. Tending to the herbs in this heat was grueling work.

"Dad." Seeing his father's gaunt silhouette, Lawler felt a lump in his throat.

Silas's back stiffened. He never imagined his son would return, let alone call out to him.

In truth, the father and son hadn't spoken properly in a very long time.

"Why are you back?" Silas turned around slowly, his gaze fixed on his son.
