Chapter 26

“Good morning. Briar!”

Standing still, Briar looked at the little girl whose complexion had visibly improved. Her tone softened, “Morning, why the sudden interest in morning

runs?”

Ellen had been running for a few days now. Due to her weak constitution, she would get out of breath easily after running. “My brother said I’m too weak, so he told me to run for an hour every morning to build up my health.”

They worked until around 10 a.m., finally sorting and packing all the herbs, with the coffee table now piled high.

Briar stretched and asked Ellen, “What’s your nanny making for lunch today?”

This meant she was planning to have lunch with Ellen.

Ellen immediately beamed, enthusiastically recommending, “Our nanny’s making pizza and hot chicken wings today. Briar, my nanny’s dishes are super delicious! You have to try it.”

“Alright, let’s go!”
