Yumie's P.O.V:

I cared for the garden back in my home and ensured the flowers returned to health since I had been gone for so long. Alice tried to take care of my flowers but didn't know what she was doing. The only flowers that were still healthy were the Spider Lilies, which were still in the colors of dark purple and silver, and Roses, which were in the shades of dark blue and gold. I smiled and went over to the new herbs that were growing for Lilith and her illness. I was lucky that Father knew what she had. It's called Asthma, and sadly, it's not curable, but treatable. Father told me that the herbs Lilith was drinking were helping fight it. But Snezhnaya's cold worsened Lilith's Asthma. Aziel got some traders to bring seeds for the herbs that Lilith took for me to grow in the garden. Bai Guo, Ma Huang, Ginger, Xing Ren, Ban Xia, and Gan Cao were the herbs that Lilith had to take now. I sighed and rubbed my head before hearing the front door open, and I smiled softly. Father brought the girls back. I sent the girls to hang out with Father today. Kaida loves Father since they can make new inventions together.

I walked towards the front door, and my eyes widened at the sight before me

I walked towards the front door, and my eyes widened at the sight before me. Lilith and Kaida were covered in pink paint, with Father with a sheepish look behind them covering the same pink paint. I asked him not to get them too dirty when They make new Inventions together. I raised an eyebrow at Father, who gave me a cheeky smile before I said, "What happened to not getting them dirty?"

"I don't remember you telling me that, Yumie."

"Really now? Then what's that on your shoulder?"

Father looked at the pink of his shoulder, and he tried to wipe it off, but it wasn't coming off so easily, and the girls were giggling before I shook my head, chuckling softly, and I looked at the girls, speaking in a kind tone, "Girls, you need to take a bath. Your Papa and Father will be here soon. Remember, you two will spend time with them, and I want you to be on your best behavior." The girls nodded and ran off to find Alice, making me sigh before looking at Father, who still gave me a cheeky smile.

"Father... is Lilith doing okay? Any Asthma attacks?"

"None so far. She's doing much better, thanks to the herbs she is taking. She has also been doing the exercises with Kaida joining her. Are the herbs still growing?"

"Yes. They're growing very well. Father... thank you. I know you don't usually heal your patients, but seeing you taking care of my daughters and granddaughters brings me joy. I hope they bring you a new perspective in this cruel world." I said with a kind smile and started to walk over to the herbs, checking on them before I felt Father place a hand over my shoulder. I looked at him, and he smiled before looking at the herbs with me; he gently touched the Gan Cao and looked it over.

"Where did you even get these herbs? They are usually native to Liyue. Did Pantalone get them for you?"

"Yes, Pantalone got them for me. He still tries to spoil the girls, even though I tell him not to."
