When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 919: What Kind of Magic Did She Use?

Gia was wearing a new dress that Mrs. Xavier had the tailor make, a light blue, modernized version of a traditional Chinese qipao.

The fringed edges combined the elegant Chinese style with a simple modern flair, fresh and graceful, gentle and poised.

She was in the room with Old Mr. Downey, helping select herbal medicine, attentive and patient, surrounded by an aura of calmness.

"Grandpa, was this kudzu root also dug up from the hill behind the Xavier Family’s home?" She picked up a small piece from the table, sniffed it, and found it sweet.

Old Mr. Downey replied as he organized the herbs, "Yes, kudzu root has the effect of lifting yang and stopping diarrhea. We stumbled upon this wild one and dug it up."

The girl asked again, "Is it because it contains isoflavones that it can stop diarrhea?"

"Yes." Old Mr. Downey nodded, "Isoflavones are a good thing. They also have powerful antioxidant properties, which can slow down the process of cellular aging."

The girl blinked, "If I remember correctly, they can also reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, right?"

The old man was gratified. Has he found a kindred spirit? Someone so young who understands herbal medicine and has a steady personality.

Thus, he curiously raised his eyes to look at her, "Do you know any other herbs? Among those on my table, could you tell me their names?" These were herbs harvested a few days ago, rare and precious.

Gia put down the kudzu root in her hand. Looking at the table full of sorted herbs, she didn’t give it much thought and pointed at them one by one, directly stating their names—

"This is galangal, nine incense insects, purple tansy, long whisker grass, and spirit fat..."

Old Mr. Downey, just by hearing her fluently recite the names, could tell she’d studied traditional Chinese medicine and deduced her knowledge was profound, not just superficial.

She likely understood prescriptions and was at the level of treating and saving lives.

Because she could identify scents, observe colors, and judge the quality of the herbs. Over these days, Old Mr. Downey had gained a certain understanding of this girl.

The beautiful sunset light streamed through the window, and as the door was not closed, tranquility enveloped the room.

As he looked at her, Old Mr. Downey had a fleeting moment of illusion, feeling she resembled Faye Turner, not in appearance, but in spirit.

And on second glance, there seemed to be some similarities in appearance too, such as those big eyes... If a girl is beautiful and also understands medicine, she bears a strong resemblance to Faye Turner.

At that moment, Nathan Xavier appeared at the doorway, carrying a bag, dressed in a bespoke suit, his silhouette upright and perfect.

He raised his hand to knock on the open door, "Old Mr. Downey, Gia." Then he stepped inside.

"Good day, Young Master." The two maids inside greeted him respectfully. Every time they saw him, they felt delighted, and which young girl wouldn’t like to look at a handsome man?

"Hello, Young Master Xavier." Gia also greeted him politely.

Old Mr. Downey looked at him, "Young Master Xavier." His words were filled with respect.

"I brought back a rabbit from my trip." He lifted the corners of his lips slightly, speaking warmly.

Gia was pleasantly surprised. A rabbit? Such a cute little animal!

But the next second, he said, "Want to try it?" As he spoke, he placed the bag on the table.

A vacuum-sealed spicy rabbit dish appeared, causing Gia to feel a mix of emotions, but she still smiled gently and looked up at him, "Thank you, Young Master Xavier."

"This rabbit meat is very tasty, not too spicy, but very fragrant. It’s ready-to-eat, and if you like it, I’ll bring you more next time." He was warm like a brother, his voice deep and magnetic.

Outside, Rhiannon Xavier heard her brother was back from a trip, so she followed his steps there.

Standing outside, she deliberately hid and listened to the conversation inside, hearing it clearly.

She had lived with the Xavier Family for so many years, yet her brother had never brought her any gifts from his trips, nor had she ever tasted this rabbit meat. What magic did Gia perform?

Her father liked her, her mother liked her, and now even her brother does!
