Chapter 449 Nourishment
Days passed and Althea entered another activity into her daily habits: Using her Growth skill on a few important plants (Note: Cocoa Tree).
Of course, she still trained, meditated, and the like for several hours every day, she still spent time in the lab and re
Her babies were apparently next door, an opportunity won by the ladies against the clinic folks through a dangerous game of volleyball.
It was amazing how Lola played. She was apparently a pro back in the day but stopped due to an injury. However, after leveling up, this minor injury was no longer a problem, and she could crush anyone in volleyball.
Hey, maybe she could be a human trebuchet someday.
In any case, the way people floundered to take care of her children was both amusing and made her feel guilty. Considering how busy she was lately, she mostly only saw her children when they were asleep.
Sigh.
Well, if they tasted chocolate she hoped they would understand the sacrifice.
…
Althea returned to the farms after about an hour more of rest, allowing her mana to heal naturally.
She also took several bales of mana cookies, which Harold baked during her break.
She was determined to make some big progress today!
Eventually, after a few hours, she finally saw the needed hardness of the hull. The sky was already dark and the farm slit up by youli lamps. Harold tried calling her for dinner, but her momentum was high and she couldn't bear to cut it off.
There was still some time to go but she mused that the progress today was very good.
In a few days, she would be able to make the type she needed. In another week or so, the corn fields would be ready to harvest.
She couldn't wait to taste popcorn!
Best, she already has salt and sugar, which could give the popcorn's characteristic salt and sweet taste—the so-called bliss point.
Very exciting!
However, before she officially clocked out for the day, so couldn't help but recall an observation that she kept to the back of her head.
It was just that it didn't really become clear. It was probably because she was hungry.
"Finally hungry?" A familiar voice said, making her flinch. She turned to look at her husband who had been looming over her.
"When did you arrive?" She asked, but Garan didn't answer her and just kneeled to her level so he could lift her up.
"You work too hard," Garan said, patting her bum. She smiled and kissed his chiseled chin. He smiled and carried her all the way to the dining table already set up and just waiting for her.
Althea turned to look at the table, and the first she saw were the children in their high chairs drinking milk from their bottles.
The moment they saw her, the two let go off their suckles and called to her with their toothless grins. Her heart softened and she went down from Garan's embrace and walked over to kiss their soft faces.
"Aww, I'm sorry my babies," she said, gently touching their chubby cheeks. "Mummy will play with you for a whole day when this is over."
The two babies made cute milky sounds as if talking with her, and they all laughed, marking the beginning of a lovely dinner.
