Chapter 1411
The most crucial point was that if he were Lily's son, then everything would make sense.
'She has an odd relationship with Dominic and even knows who his secret apprentice is. If that’s the
case, I can understand why the old man would dote on the boy.'
"Granduncle, he's Lily's child, isn't he?" Austin asked hesitantly after giving it some thought.
While drinking water, Dominic choked.
"Who told you that?" He looked panicky and glanced at the boy's face. 'Does he look like her that
much?"
Although he did not admit it, Austin could tell from his reaction. 'Bingo!'
"Granduncle, what's your relationship with Lily? You're not only good to her but also her child..." He

'No way! No f*cking way!"
Seeing him look puzzled and shake his head, Dominic frowned. "Why do you care? Who are you to pry
into my affairs? Why are you here? If you have nothing to discuss with me, then get lost!"
"Yes, I do, Granduncle!" Glad that he asked, Austin hurriedly said, "You see, I've been treating a young
girl who's obese.
Judging from her pulse, I think she suffers from chronic toxicity, which is not fatal but unusually
complex. I feel like it's a bit hard to come up with a cure for such poisoning. What do you-"
"Why are you asking me? You're her physician, not me," Dominic said in disapproval. "After learning
herbal medicine for so long, can’t you find a cure? Didn't I tell you to use the simplest method to

for any poison? Don't you know how to simplify what is complex?" Dominic scolded him but
simultaneously gave Austin ideas.
Puzzled, Austin asked tentatively, "Are you saying...”
"I’m saying if you're so stupid, stop misleading the public by using my name. If you get into trouble,
don't expect me to clean up your mess, okay? Don’t spoil my reputation either!" Dominic growled.
Austin was speechless.
'The old man always says things that are hard to understand, and I have to figure them out myself.
Simplify the complex. Does it mean that no matter how many toxins are there, I should simply use a
counteracting prescription for each of them? In that case, what if the herbs are not compatible?’

backyard and a familiar and pleasant female voice saying," Hey, old man, have you gotten lazy lately?
The grass on the east side has withered a bit. Is it too much for you to look after them yourself?"
Austin was nonplussed.
An awkward look flashed across Dominic's face because Austin was still there. Dominic frowned and
scolded," Shouldn't you scram now?"
His voice was quiet, but Lily heard what he said. Not knowing that there was someone else, she
thought he was talking to her and wondered why he was in such a bad mood.
"Okay, I'll scram right away! Don't worry, I won’t even come again if you beg me," she said as she
