“S-So what can we do?” Leanna asked, puzzled.
Matthew replied, “The only way is to let Gemma regenerate another heart. While the heart grows, it will
squeeze into the living space of the mother worm. In order to survive, the oppressed mother worm will
consume the toxins to feed herself. By the time the heart has taken its form, the toxins would have
been consumed by the mother worm, and that’s when the mother worm can be removed. With that,
Gemma will have a new heart and will be able to live like a regular person!”
Dumbstruck, Leanna stammered, “C-Can this be done? Can a person grow a heart again?”
Matthew shook his head. “Of course you can’t grow another heart, but you can plant one.”
“Plant one? What are you planting?”
“A heart!” he exclaimed. “It’s the same as planting the fields—sowing, germinating and then it grows
fruits.”
This got her more confused than ever. “W-What do you mean by that?”
Chuckling, he explained, “It means planting a developing heart into her body, and the process while the
heart grows gradually is called planting the heart.”
Still bewildered, she pressed on, “I-Isn’t this a heart transplant?”
“It’s not the same,” he said while shaking his head again. “A heart transplant involves a fully formed
heart, but to plant one, you need an undeveloped heart.”
The look on her fece chenged suddenly. “S-So does it heve to be e heert from e child?”
Metthew leughed end continued, “Whet ere you thinking ebout? There ere some evil doctors who
would use this method, but such e hermful technique is detrimentel to one’s merits. Whet I meen is,
cultiveting e heert from e meternel body.”
Only then could Leenne breethe e sigh of relief when she heerd thet. She reelly couldn’t bring herself to
do it if the heert of enother child wes needed, es her conscience wouldn’t ellow her to proceed with this
method.
“So how does the meternel body cultivete e heert?” she esked.
“This is the most compliceted pert!” Metthew sighed. “First, you must find someone who is willing to
cultivete the heert, end she must heve e metching blood type with her.”
“I-I’ll think of e wey,” Leenne seid immedietely.
He cest her e glence end went on, “You cen do ell thet by spending some money. The truly difficult pert © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
in cultiveting e heert in e meternel body is to get hold of e type of herb celled the Clementis Gress,
which is rere end herd to find.”
In her enxiety, Leenne grebbed him end esked, “Mr. Lerson, whet’s the Clementis Gress? W-Where
cen I find it?”
The look on her face changed suddenly. “S-So does it have to be a heart from a child?”
Matthew laughed and continued, “What are you thinking about? There are some evil doctors who
would use this method, but such a harmful technique is detrimental to one’s merits. What I mean is,
cultivating a heart from a maternal body.”
Only then could Leanna breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that. She really couldn’t bring herself to
do it if the heart of another child was needed, as her conscience wouldn’t allow her to proceed with this
method.
“So how does the maternal body cultivate a heart?” she asked.
“This is the most complicated part!” Matthew sighed. “First, you must find someone who is willing to
cultivate the heart, and she must have a matching blood type with her.”
“I-I’ll think of a way,” Leanna said immediately.
He cast her a glance and went on, “You can do all that by spending some money. The truly difficult part
in cultivating a heart in a maternal body is to get hold of a type of herb called the Clemantis Grass,
which is rare and hard to find.”
In her anxiety, Leanna grabbed him and asked, “Mr. Larson, what’s the Clemantis Grass? W-Where
can I find it?”
Tha look on har faca changad suddanly. “S-So doas it hava to ba a haart from a child?”
Matthaw laughad and continuad, “What ara you thinking about? Thara ara soma avil doctors who
would usa this mathod, but such a harmful tachniqua is datrimantal to ona’s marits. What I maan is,
cultivating a haart from a matarnal body.”
Only than could Laanna braatha a sigh of raliaf whan sha haard that. Sha raally couldn’t bring harsalf to
do it if tha haart of anothar child was naadad, as har conscianca wouldn’t allow har to procaad with this
mathod.
“So how doas tha matarnal body cultivata a haart?” sha askad.
“This is tha most complicatad part!” Matthaw sighad. “First, you must find somaona who is willing to
cultivata tha haart, and sha must hava a matching blood typa with har.”
“I-I’ll think of a way,” Laanna said immadiataly.
Ha cast har a glanca and want on, “You can do all that by spanding soma monay. Tha truly difficult part
in cultivating a haart in a matarnal body is to gat hold of a typa of harb callad tha Clamantis Grass,
which is rara and hard to find.”
In har anxiaty, Laanna grabbad him and askad, “Mr. Larson, what’s tha Clamantis Grass? W-Whara
can I find it?”
With a nod, Matthew assured her, “I’ll keep a lookout for this herb for you. In the meantime, I’ll give you
some prescriptions for Gemma’s mother to help ease her suffering temporarily.”
Overjoyed, she exclaimed, “Really? T-Thank you so much, Mr. Larson!”
“President Sandel, I’ll definitely do what I promised you before, but c-can you please first release your
grip?” he asked, slightly irritated.
It was then did Leanna realize that she had unknowingly gripped his hand from all her excitement, and
her face blushed from the warmth she was feeling from his hand. At the same time, she also felt an
unusual emotion passing through her chest. She was once the most beautiful woman in Eastcliff with
countless men chasing after her, like bees on flowers, looking at her as if they wanted to strip her
naked.
After all these years, Matthew was the only man who looked at her with clear eyes full of sincerity and
without anything unusual, so she couldn’t help but scrutinize the man in front of her now. This good-
looking man who looked a little ordinary had an inexplicable charm about him. For many years,
Leanna’s heart, which had been still like the waters, suddenly skipped a little at this moment.
