A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 109 The Lloyd Herbal Warehouse

Theodore was startled, his expression turning sour in an instant before staring at Keith. “What’s your motive for doing this, Keith?”

Keith began to panic slightly and rushed to say, “Dad, don’t listen to her. I’d never do something like that.”

Tia sneered. “Grandpa. Keith tried to stop Dr. Barrett from treating you earlier. With that, she took out her. phone and showed Theodore the video.

After watching the video. Theodore closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh. He then told Keith, “Even if I had died, you and your mother would still have been able to control the Lloyd Family. Why did you have to turn to the Jenkinses? Don’t you realize you’re making a deal with the devil?”

Keith lowered his head. “Dad, I was only following Mom’s instructions.”

Theodore narrowed his eyes. “Alright, you all may leave now. Dr. Barrett, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

Everyone left the room except William.

Theodore looked at him seriously. “Dr. Barrett, how much longer do I have to live?”

William replied, “Your body is currently stable, and you should be able to live for another three to five years without any issues.”

“Only three to five years? That’s not enough.” Theodore’s face was etched with worry as he sighed,

William thought, You’re already in your 80s. How much longer do you expect to live?

Theodore added, “I want to live for at least another decade. That way, I can settle all my affairs before departing. Dr. Barrett, is there any way you can help me? I’m willing to pay any price. Money is not an issue!”

William thought for a moment and said, “There is a way. You’ll need 600–year–old wild ginseng to make the tonic that can nourish your body. It may be difficult to find, but it isn’t impossible.”

“Thank you so much!” Theodore was overjoyed.

After leaving the room, Tia dragged William to a corner and asked, “What did Grandpa say?”

He explained the situation, “He’s afraid of death.”

She chuckled. “He’s worried about the empire he’s built and the antique treasures worth billions.”

He pondered for a moment and suddenly stated, “Your family is in great danger now. You need to be careful.
