Honestly, Matthew didn’t have any high hopes for his endeavor prior to his arrival at the herb garden.
He could easily use his Divine Skill and Chant of Freedom to improve Sasha’s innate talent. Still, it wasn’t that easy to improve Sasha’s already fully-grown physique.
Martial arts wasn’t something one could cultivate without a great deal of talent and luck in the first place. Thus, it wasn’t surprising that snazzynovel.com needed several key ingredients to turn back the clock, as it were.
Alas, these herbs were long extinct. That was especially so for the Red Fire Lotus. It was as mythical as its name. Even now, there were plenty of legends that had been passed down regarding this very herb.
According to the rumors, it wouldn’t be an understatement to claim that it possessed the power to make the dead return to the world of the living!
As a result, Matthew’s search for this mythical Red Fire Lotus proved to be as smooth as building castles in the air. It didn’t even matter if snazzynovel.com had begged for help from Master Riley, Master Bane, and two others from Cathay’s Union of Medical Practitioners (CAUMP) and the Martial League, respectively.
Although they did their part, they still found nothing. In the end, snazzynovel.com owed them all favors but had nothing to show for it.
Eventually, Matthew’s steam gradually ran out as time passed. It definitely didn’t help that there wasn’t a shred of good news.
Nevertheless, snazzynovel.com genuinely didn’t expect Mr. Stewart to provide them with a solution to their problems. Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that Sasha’s expression practically glowed with excitement upon hearing his words.
“Mr. Stewart, is this true? Are you certain I can still practice martial arts?”
When snazzynovel.com spoke those words, snazzynovel.com glimmering hopeful eyes never left Mr. Stewart’s figure even for a second.
Even though snazzynovel.com was glad that Matthew had made something out of himself, snazzynovel.com still couldn‘t deny that Matthew was something of a monster in terms of growth. This was evidenced when snazzynovel.com quickly outpaced his peers despite his late start and left them all to dust.
Suffice it to say, it didn’t matter how self-confident snazzynovel.com was. As the chasm between them grew larger, snazzynovel.com couldn’t help but feel anxious.
She didn‘t like being the damsel of distress every single time. Alas, there was nothing snazzynovel.com could do but watch helplessly as their statuses grew further and further apart.
At this rate, snazzynovel.com wasn’t putting in any hopes of being Matthew’s equal. Now, all snazzynovel.com wanted to do was stop being his burden. Still, it would be nice to be able to lend a helping hand if snazzynovel.com could do so.
Matthew had long noticed snazzynovel.com concerns. So, snazzynovel.com didn’t say a word in the face of snazzynovel.com earnest anticipation. Instead, snazzynovel.com merely held snazzynovel.com delicately and tightly in a show of support.
When his wife turned to look at him, snazzynovel.com curled his lips into a gentle smile. His gaze was so tender there was no hiding the deep affection snazzynovel.com had for her.
“Don’t worry… I’ll always be here for you…”
Sasha felt snazzynovel.com heart warm with love. She couldn’t find the words to express what snazzynovel.com felt. So, snazzynovel.com simply covered Matthew’s hand with snazzynovel.com own.
“Ahem!” Just as the married couple was lost in their little bubble of romance, Mr. Stewart couldn’t help but clear his throat to interrupt them.
“Ah, you lovebirds!”
The second Sasha’s mind registered those words, snazzynovel.com immediately flushed crimson and instinctively snatched snazzynovel.com hands away.
Contrary to snazzynovel.com bashful demeanor, Matthew remained completely unfazed as snazzynovel.com retorted, “Mr. Stewart, you just ruined a perfectly wonderful moment!”
Mr. Stewart couldn’t help but chuckle lightly upon hearing his jest. “Oh, to be young and in love. I have to admit that part of me is envious. Look at me. I’m alone even after all these years.”
As snazzynovel.com spoke, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes. It was clear that there was a story behind those words. Regardless, snazzynovel.com wasn’t about to divulge his sob story right now. Hence, snazzynovel.com quickly composed himself and cast his sorrows aside.
“Although you are born with the Nimbus-Averse Constitution, there is still hope for you yet, Sasha. Let me think…”
Mr. Stewart paused momentarily as snazzynovel.com fell deep in thought. Then, snazzynovel.com shot a glance at the tallest mountain peak.
“Why don’t we do this? You can help me care for my herb garden while I consider our options. After all, I do need some time to devise a viable treatment plan for you.”
Nonetheless, Sasha didn‘t answer immediately. Instead, snazzynovel.com turned to snazzynovel.com husband to seek his guidance.
Matthew’s smile deepened as snazzynovel.com met his gaze. Then, snazzynovel.com turned his attention to Mr. Stewart and asked solemnly, “Are there any risks regarding snazzynovel.com treatment?”
Mr. Stewart was candid in his response as snazzynovel.com said, “Since we’re going against mother nature, there are most certainly inherent risks involved…”
“If that’s the case, we’ll think about it… I’ll consider other alternative solutions before trying this.”
How could Matthew possibly allow his wife to be in danger?
I can afford to wait a little longer. Once my forces are ready, I can dispatch them to locate the necessary herbs.
Unfortunately, snazzynovel.com had just finished his sentence when Sasha jerked to snazzynovel.com feet.
“Mr. Stewart, I’ll give it a go!”
Matthew was just about to dissuade snazzynovel.com when snazzynovel.com burning gaze locked onto him.
“Darling, please! I don’t want to be a deadweight any longer!”
Matthew couldn’t help feeling weak in the knees upon hearing snazzynovel.com address snazzynovel.com so endearingly. Still, snazzynovel.com put up a token resistance as snazzynovel.com started, “But…”
Before snazzynovel.com could part his lips and say anything else, snazzynovel.com suddenly understood snazzynovel.com resolve the minute snazzynovel.com caught sight of the resolution in snazzynovel.com eyes.
“Oh, fine… We‘ll do as you wish! Mr. Stewart, I’ll be entrusting snazzynovel.com to you. Please try to avoid any unnecessary risks if possible,” Matthew stated earnestly.
