Chapter 712



.

On the way, Nora had already looked at the pictures and the description of the symptoms that Iris had forwarded to her and silently calculated the formula.

The recipe contained very low doses of medicine, so they shouldn’t pose any danger to the flowers.

Nora had always been very confident in her knowledge of her specialties. After all, when she was in California, no one came to her for medical consultations. To enhance her medical knowledge, she had treated flora and fauna at home!

That’s why she was such an expert on orchids.

Of course, this was really difficult to achieve.

Because flowers were, without a doubt, different from humans. If it weren’t for the fact that Nora had experimented with flowers and plants for so long, she probably wouldn’t have mastered such fine control of medicine dosages. Iris gasped a little when she saw the piece of paper offered to her.

She immediately took a picture of the prescription and sent it to Matthew.

Only after sending it did she raise her head and say, “Nora, you wrote that recipe so fast.”

She had decided on a recipe without even talking to Matthew.

Nora slowly replied, “I’ve dealt with that disease in other flowers before, so I kind of understand.”

Iris: “…”

As the corners of her lips tightened, she received a call from Matthew. He said, “Madame Iris, this prescription you sent me…”.

Iris looked at Nora and said, “My daughter-in-law came up with it. You can try it. At least I guarantee you won’t get anything wrong.”

Matthew sighed. “It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that…. You gave it to me a little late!”.

Iris was taken aback. “What?”

Matthew said, “Lauren just borrowed that pot of Phantom Orchids from me, saying that while she curates them for me, she’d also like to do an orchid show so that people who like orchids in New York can admire them.”

What Matthew didn’t say was that Lauren had not only addressed him, but also people from several wealthy and aristocratic New York families. After all, precious and expensive flowers like orchids were not things ordinary people could afford.

Lauren had gathered a group of people with the euphemistic excuse that they would all visit an exhibition with famous flower species. Thus, everyone could learn something new and broaden their horizons. Therefore, people should not hide and keep all the good things to themselves….

The meaning between the lines was that Iris was too mean.

Matthew didn’t want to sow discord between them, so he had omitted that part.

Iris frowned. “Has he cured your Phantom Orchids?”

“More or less.” Matthew sighed. “Actually, when I called you, I had already used the prescription you gave me. I didn’t expect the Phantom Orchids to come much more alive just half an hour later.”

Iris sighed quietly.

She hadn’t expected things to unfold this way! What an unfortunate turn of events!

She said quietly, “Congratulations.”

“What’s there to congratulate me for?” Matthew smiled wryly and said, “You’re having an exhibition tomorrow. If only for my flowers, I will have to attend. Not only do I have to contribute my flowers, but also my presence. That woman is so… Madame Iris, orchid lovers like us tend to be people at peace with the world. We only care for orchids for our own joy, but look at her, isn’t what she does different from forcing me to…?”

Iris didn’t like to talk about people behind their backs, especially not when it came to Lauren. So, she said, “It’s better for the flowers to heal.”

“Yes.”

Then Matthew said, “However, your daughter-in-law is very talented! Her prescription is just an herb outside of Lauren’s! Using alternative medicine to cure orchids is Orchidiance’s specialty. Many alternative medicine practitioners also wanted to try it. As a result, many orchids have died from their attempts over the years. Lauren is the only one who has finally mastered the technique after studying it for a long time…”

At this point, Matthew sighed heavily. Unable to contain himself any longer, he said, “Madame Iris, you have to be careful. Lauren is hell bent on beating you in orchids this time. I heard that after she found out you like orchids, she has been imitating Orchidiance’s methods in treating orchids for the past five years. Who knows how many orchids he destroyed before he came to have the experience he has today…”

Matthew, who sounded as if the orchids gave him some grief, added, “Who knows how many varieties of precious orchids he has destroyed just to vent his frustrations, Gosh!”

Matthew was very contemptuous of Lauren’s actions.

They were caring for the orchids because they truly loved them, but Lauren was only using the orchids as a springboard to get ahead of Iris.

It was a shame that as much as one was devoted to her hobby, she had to bow to reality.

Iris paid no attention to such things. However, it seemed a pity to her.

She had already lost the bet before she even started.

She looked at Nora and said quietly, “Okay, I’ll hang up!”.

Unfortunately, the next moment, Nora picked up the phone.

Nora stared at the phone and asked, “What other herb did you add to the recipe?”.

Matthew seemed surprised by her voice. Finally, he named an herb.

The corners of Nora’s lips curved into a smile. After hanging up the phone, Iris said, “Let’s go to the orchid show tomorrow.”
