Chapter 18
Kimberly liked roses.
She liked all kinds of things that smelled of roses, such as incense and perfume.
However, she knew that all those roses in the garden came about due to Whitney. Thus, she hated the patch of roses in front of her.
“No can do. The medicinal herbs garden was part of Mom’s memories in the Larson residence. I can’t let it disappear just like that,” she vowed internally.
Thereafter, she picked up her phone and called someone anxiously.
“Edward, I want to plant a medicinal herbs garden in the Larson residence again.”
“You must be hoping that I can help you collect all sorts of medicinal herbs!”
“The medicinal herbs garden had always been my mother’s pride and joy. She worked hard to nurture it, but that wrench, Whitney, destroyed it.”
“Don’t be anxious. Such matters are not difficult. Try to see if you can find the list of medicinal herbs that were originally planted there.”
Edward knew that his sister would not trouble him unless she had a tricky problem that she could not solve by herself.
Thus, as long as she needed help, he and his brothers would try their best to help her.
After hanging up, Kimberly went to find Esther and John. She wanted to find out more about the previous medicinal herbs garden.
Since she wanted to rebuild it again, she wished that she could replicate it fully.
After all, she did it mostly because she yearned for her mother.
Esther said, “The original garden was built by Mrs. Larson and me. At the start, I didn’t know anything and treated the plants like nameless objects. Mrs. Larson then patiently taught me everything like she was teaching a small child. Mrs. Larson is too kind. She took care of the herbs like they were her own children. Of course, I know that she was missing you. The herbs were an inseparable connection between both of you.”
As she spoke, her eyes grew red and filled up with tears.
From Esther’s recollection, Kimberly understood many details regarding the medicinal herbs garden, which included planting the herbs, the herbs’ names, and the likes.

She then fished out her phone and sent a message to Edward: “Edward, I’ve emailed the basic information of the medicinal herbs garden to you.”
Soon enough, she received a reply that read: “Kimberly, I’ve received it. You can build. the garden again in around a week. Rest assured!”
With his generous help, it was not difficult for Kimberly to build the medicinal herbs. garden again.
Apart from the medicinal herbs garden, she would still make some tweaks and adjustments to the design and functions of the house.
For example, she wanted to build a playground for her children.
The roar of the car engine could be heard. It signaled Olivia’s return.
Olivia had been out liaising with Vincent’s lawyers to discuss the intricacies of the case.
She had always been like that.
No matter what case she got, she would exert her best efforts to prepare adequately.
When dinnertime rolled around, the dining table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.
When Kimberly lived with Christopher previously, there were many housekeepers.
However, she liked to cook in the kitchen. Perhaps, she trusted the famous saying that the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach.
She was very attentive and considerate, and her culinary skills improved exponentially. However, Christopher did not care about her.
If he was not outside having business meals, he would be enjoying a candlelit dinner
with Kiara.
Kimberly’s efforts went to waste.
When they were having their meal, she noticed that Olivia’s expression was not good. It was as if the latter was worried and sad about something.
Kimberly placed Olivia’s favorite dish on her plate.
“What’s the matter with you today, Ollie? Have you encountered any tricky problems or upsetting events?” she inquired.
Olivia placed the dish that Kimberly gave her into her mouth. Suddenly, she halted and slammed her fork down.
