Chapter 1262
"Yes, I've already decided to pull out of the project, and Alex's company will also divest. However, as
the project has gone on for such a long time, I'm afraid they won't give up and will look for other
people," Lily said thoughtfully.
'Then let them get another person as long as it has nothing to do with you!"
Waving his hand, the older man had learned to take things easy at his age. In his opinion, one could
not save everyone with medicine, and what mattered most was to do their best.
He got up and walked toward his beloved herb garden. 'There are people who learn herbal medicine to
help people, and there are those who want to cause harm. Human beings are much more complex
than these herbs."
Lily got up and sat down in his rattan rocking chair. She felt great about being able to stretch.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRocking the chair, she said leisurely, "You’re right. There are all kinds of people. Some don't like to be
high-profile and prefer to stay at home in the middle of nowhere, while some enjoy drawing people's
attention and misleading the public using their name."
The older man turned around, puzzled. "Who are you talking about?"
"You're not aware?"
Although Dominic hardly left home, he might have learned about what happened through others. He
still had his eyes and ears.
"A young man who shares your family name claimed that he’s your last student and has been telling
everyone about it."
"My family name? A young man?"
He thought for a moment. "Are you talking about that brat, Austin Fike?"
Lily widened her eyes to look at Dominic. 'Aha, he does know about him!'
He sighed loudly and slapped his thigh in disapproval.
Seeing Lily's gaze, he wanted to say something but hesitated. Turning around, he paced to and fro
before returning to stand by her side. He bent over and looked into her eyes. "We all have
troublemakers in our families, don't we?”
Lily did not know how to reply.
"So he’s your..."
"My niece's son!" He slapped the side of his thigh and puffed out of habit.
"He stayed at my place for a while and learned a bit about herbal medicine through observation, but he
could not focus and was not made for this field. This is why I didn't make him my student and only
occasionally taught him a thing or two.
"I've not given him any proper lessons. Why? Did he tell other people that he was my student? That
son of a b*tch! I'll break his legs one day." He barked and stole two glances at Lily. "Why? Are you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmupset that he’s pretending to be you? If you aren't happy, we can inform the public that you're my
student. You-"
"Don't!" Holding up a hand, Lily turned him down. "Spare me. I don’t need that kind of attention."
Somehow, the outsiders worshiped the last student of Dominic Fike.
They were acting this way merely because of their friendship with Dominic and because the elder man
had gushed over the person's talent on multiple occasions, but they had no idea who the person was or
what they had done.
The rumor even claimed that the person was a miracle doctor like Dominic.
Lily found the rumor absurd and only wished to stay out of it.
She hated this type of unnecessary attention the most. 'If these people find out I'm Dominic's last
student, I'll be in hell!'
The thought made her shudder.
