    Chapter 3321 Growing Medicinal Herbs In The Greenhouse


    Luca nced 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 exin things with great rity.


    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 nted some medicinal herbs in the backyard. Would you be interested in having a look?"


    Luca was not particrly interested in growing herbs. However, since she had nothing else to do and considering that it was rted 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 nted here.


    She asked Mr. Griffin, "What kind of herbs are nted here?"


    "I''m not too sure, but ording to Old Master Crawford, they''re rare and valuable species that require very specific conditions, which is why they''re grown in the greenhouse," exined 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 particr feelings toward the smell of herbs.


    However, ever since she started learning about medicine from Shanks, she had grown ustomed to the scent of medicinal herbs and had evene 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 ced in front of each, providing brief descriptions.


    Luca asked, "Did Old Master Crawford set all of this up himself?"


    Mr. Griffin smiled and exined, "Old Master Crawford had thebels printed and ced 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."


    "The old master is really impressive." Luca looked at the well-cultivated herbs, some of which would have significant medicinal value once they matured. She could not help but feel a deep sense of admiration.


    Old Master Crawford truly excelled at anything he put his mind to.


    Even as a novice, he had managed to grow herbs so well that they could easily rival the work of professionals. "Yes, the old master has put a lot of effort into this," replied Mr. Griffin.


    Luca''s eyes wandered across the many varieties of herbs, nearly overwhelmed by the abundance.


    "I thought I knew a lot about herbal herbs, but Old Master Crawford seems to know even more, praised Luca. She could identify herbs by their appearance and scent, but she did not know much about cultivating them.


    The Old Master Crawford''s greenhouse was truly impressive. The herbs were plentiful and thriving.


    While modem technology certainly made it easier, it was still remarkable that an elderly man could manage such arge variety of herbs so well.


    Luca took a walk around the greenhouse, exploring the area.


    Meanwhile, in the study, Luke and the Old Master Crawford had finished their conversation.


    When it came to the situation with Allison, they had no choice but to deal with it.


    Even though they were unhappy with her recent actions, they could not just let her make a bigger scene, which could harm both the Crawford family and T Corporation.


    "Where are Luca and the kids?" the Old Master Crawford asked with curiosity when he arrived in the living room and did not see them.


    The maid responded, "The kids are upstairs reading, and Ms. Craw is touring the greenhouse with Mr. Griffin." "The greenhouse?" Luke raised an eyebrow. Since when did Crawford Manor have a greenhouse? When the greenhouse was mentioned, Old Master Crawford remembered that Luke still did not know about it. Proudly, he said, "Luke, I built a greenhouse full of medicinal herbs. Come, let me show you."


    Luke nodded, helping his grandfather outside. It was already past 5:00 pm, and while the sun was not as intense, the ground was still warm from a day of heat. Nheless, it was still eptable.


    They made their way to the backyard.


    As they walked, the Old Master Crawford exined, "A while ago, I was inspired by the medicinal herbs that Luca brought over. I thought it would be interesting to grow some myself. So, I did some research, hired professionals to build the greenhouse, and bought some rare herbal seeds.


    "Now, they''re growing in the backyard."


    "You really don''t hesitate once you''ve made up your mind," Luke said with a hint of helplessness in his voice.


    However, since the greenhouse was equipped with modern technology, it was not too strenuous for his grandfather, so he did not n to stop him.


    After all, it was nice that Old Master Crawford had found a new hobby.


    "Of course! While I''m still able to move around, I''d like to do the things I enjoy," Old Master Crawford said energetically.


    "Back before I got into business, I was a farmer. Sure, back then I was growing crops, and now, it''s herbs, but it''s all the same, right? Growing stuff has always been my thing.


    "When I was young, that was my backup n. If I couldn''t ride the wave of government policy and make my business work, I''d just head back to the farm. That small plot ofnd was my ace in the hole.


    "But I made it in business, and thatnd just sat there, going to waste. Thinking back now, I should''ve rented it out. At least it wouldn''t have gone unused," said Old Master Crawford.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    As Luke listened to his grandfather, he put on a smile.


    It had been a long time since he heard Old Master Crawford talk about these things.


    When Luke was adopted from the orphanage and brought back to the Crawford family, he was raised by Old Master Crawford. Aside from life lessons and business advice, most of what he heard were his stories about the


    old days.
