The next day, Jr., Alex, and Joshua woke up early, ready to tackle their respective appointments. Before they left, Jr. asked the butler, Mr. Jenkins, if breakfast was ready.
Mr. Jenkins nodded. "Yes, sir. Breakfast is served."
Jr. smiled, feeling grateful for the efficient staff. "Good," he said.
Alex and Joshua thanked Jr. for inviting them over, and Jr. replied, "Always."
As they parted ways, Jr. couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for his friends. They had always been there for him, offering support and advice whenever he needed it.
Jr. then headed to Zebra City to visit his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Swan. The Swan family was renowned for their expertise in herbal medicine, and Jr. had always been fascinated by their knowledge.
As he arrived at his grandmother's house, Jr. was delighted to see the familiar surroundings. However, he was informed by the house helper that his grandmother was not at home.
"Your grandmother went to the mountains to look for herbs," the helper explained. "But she should be back soon."
Jr. decided to go look for his grandmother, eager to spend time with her. As he walked towards the mountains, he called out to her, "Grandma! Grandma!"
After a while, he saw his grandmother walking down the mountain, her basket filled with various herbs. Jr. ran towards her, excitement etched on his face.
"Grandma! I really missed you!" he exclaimed, hugging her tightly. "I'm sorry I've been busy since I came back from my studies and failed to check on you."
Mrs. Swan smiled, her eyes twinkling with warmth. "Oh, my boy, you finally came to see me?"
Jr. nodded, feeling a sense of guilt for neglecting his grandmother. "I'm a bad boy," he said, helping his grandmother with her basket.
As they walked back to the house, Jr. and his grandmother chatted about various topics, from herbal medicine to Jr.'s business ventures. Jr. felt a sense of comfort and peace in his grandmother's presence, and he was grateful for the opportunity to spend time with her.
As they approached the house, Jr. asked his grandmother about her herbal medicine business. Mrs. Swan smiled, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.
"Business has been good, my boy," she said. "But I've been thinking of passing on the knowledge to someone younger. Maybe you can learn a thing or two about herbal medicine."
Jr. nodded, feeling intrigued by the idea. He had always been fascinated by the natural world, and the prospect of learning about herbal medicine from his grandmother was exciting but he didnt have time to learn.
As they entered the house, Jr. helped his grandmother with her basket, feeling grateful for the opportunity to spend time with her. He knew that he had a lot to learn from his grandmother, and he was eager to start.
