Chapter 965
Holding a wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime event.Despite their substantial wealth, the couple remained frugal, residing in a modest single-story home valued at just a few hundred thousand dollars.For Sylvia and Eric, a 200-square-meter house was more than sufficient. Any additional space would only feel wasteful. Their focus wasn't on the wedding. Instead, they were particularly keen on starting a family.With the Innova Group dominating the domestic market, Eric adopted a relatively easygoing approach, free from excessive ambitions.However, once things settled down, he felt a desire for a child."What could be the issue..." Sylvia pondered. "Why can't I conceive?"As Brook's child was about to be born, Sylvia grew anxious.She glanced at Eric. "Could it be that you are too anxious, and the pulse reading is inaccurate? How about we consult Hol. Clarke?"There was another renowned holistic physician in Salt City.Eric was aware of Sylvia's psychological concerns and didn't h

For Winston, 50,000 dollars was just a drop in the bucket. He couldn't understand why some people still wanted a share of the pie when holistic medicine wasn't that widespread nowadays.In modern medicine, doctors held relevant licenses, and even nurses possessed certificates. However, holistic medicine had fewer formalities.In fact, most holistic physicians had a mentor-protege relationship, passing down medical skills from generation to generation. They gained their reputation through healing patients.Winston lacked a formal medical practice qualification. Still, his medical skills couldn't be outright denied just because he didn't hold one.Before Eric became Orion's successor, Winston's medical skills in Salt City were almost unmatched.He was the go-to person for medical advice, with even families like the Williams and Sonnexes relying on him for cases involving complex illnesses.Originally, Eric and Sylvia wanted to leave but decided to stay and listen.With confusion,

"If this continues, I'm truly worried that holistic medicine might disappear one day," Winston remarked.In Salt City, holistic physicians still existed, but their numbers had significantly dwindled compared to many years ago.The entry threshold for this profession was high, leading to many dropping out during the learning process. Only a handful managed to reach the top. Even Winston, who had taught numerous apprentices, saw only a few succeed.His main concern stemmed from the apparent lack of success in holistic hospitals despite their presence in several cities. While some universities did offer holistic medicine programs, they tended to compartmentalize the discipline into different subjects, even isolating herbal medicine as a separate category, which he found somewhat misguided.The most challenging aspect was for physicians like Winston, who lacked any medical licenses. Operating without a license was like a noose around their necks, restricting their practice."Hol. John

Sylvia acted swiftly, convening the Innova executives the following morning."Are we really diving into the holistic medicine industry?"The executives, including Andy, were taken aback.The Innova Group was currently thriving in its sector, having seized control after the Visionary Group's bankruptcy.Despite their success, there was still room for growth. As such, they were puzzled about why they would enter a new arena when they hadn't fully secured their current position.Crucially, the Innova Group lacked knowledge and technical expertise in holistic medicine. There was concern that spreading themselves too thin could harm the company.Moreover, venturing into new industries required a significant capital investment. With almost three years under its belt and Sylvia in office for two, the initial plan of not paying dividends for the next five years had been mentioned.However, what would happen after five years?While some were willing to wait for dividends, the move into

"Although we haven't publicly disclosed the revenue situation, everyone should be aware of our company's financial state, including our annual R&D investment and plans."As Mr. Brown mentioned, our human resources expenses are significant. However, for two whole years, I haven't proposed cutting everyone's salaries."Not only did we refrain from cuts, but we also adjusted everyone's salary according to revenue. When I said no dividends for five years, in fact, a lot of money is included in everyone's annual income."Reviewing our company's salary and benefits, the so-called bonus is almost negligible. If we must distribute it, let's consider allocating 1 billion. Suppose I take only 1,000,000 dollars to distribute among you all and allocate the remaining 9,000,000 dollars in R&D. What are your thoughts on that?"The executives nodded in agreement.While Sylvia's words sounded assertive, everyone knew she was stating the truth. Ultimately, it was up to Sylvia to decide the allocati

Sylvia immersed herself in her studies. While she didn't need to become an expert, acquiring some basic knowledge was essential. After all, leading a group of experts without any understanding was out of the question.Meanwhile, Eric took charge of preparing dinner. Whether it was a habit from childhood or a preference for the intimacy of home-cooked meals, Sylvia enjoyed having dinner at home.Just as Sylvia was deeply engrossed, her phone rang.Seeing her mother's incoming call, Sylvia felt a headache coming on. She knew exactly why her mother would be calling—it must be to invite her and Eric for dinner or discuss some nourishing food. She couldn't stomach it.While Sylvia was reluctant to pick up and was about to inform Eric and concoct an excuse, the latter's phone rang.He promptly answered."Eric, where's Vee? Why didn't she answer my call?" Amelia asked."Mom, she's probably busy with her studies since the company has implemented new changes.""Oh, I see." Amelia sighed

"Why did you include me as well?" Brook mumbled.It seemed to him that Sylvia was trying to divert attention away from herself.Sylvia continued. "And Grandpa and Grandma, you're getting old. Don't worry too much about us. We'll be fine."Godrick and Laura chuckled."Dad, Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to work now. I brought my laptop. Don't worry about us. I already had dinner at home. When you called, Eric had prepared dinner. You don't know, his cooking skills have improved a lot. The food was so delicious that I finished it all. Enjoy your meal. I'll go back to work."As she was about to get up, Henry shouted, "Sit down!"As the head of the Williams, even though he did not manage Williams Corp., he still had authority within the family.Sylvia sat back down.Henry set aside his utensils and said, "You haven't realized how serious your problem is! As your father, I'm really worried about you!"Sylvia pursed her lips. She had already realized what her parents and

Sylvia's eyes were slightly red. Their child might have already started learning to walk if not for Lucas. It was a pain that would haunt Sylvia throughout her life, even though Lucas was no longer alive.Witnessing his daughter's expressions, Amelia felt a pang in her heart."Henry, we've been too anxious. Let's not rush them and let things take their course," she said.All parents would always worry about their kids. They were older and understood the role a child played in a marriage. Many couples maintained their marriage for their children despite the marriage not working out because both felt obliged to provide their kids with a stable environment.While some couples chose a childless marriage, they were in the minority. Most couples still wanted children. Children might sometimes cause conflicts between couples, but more often, they served as catalysts.Henry didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer.Eric and Sylvia did want children—circumstances just didn't allow the
