Chapter 1078

Chapter 1078 My Blessing Once everything was taken care of, Neera finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She administered the nutrient solution she had prepared in advance to Willard. After adjusting the flow rate, she noticed that he had already drifted off to sleep.

Knowing that Willard was exhausted, she didn’t disturb him. She called for Osbert, and together, they left the consultation room.

In the corridor outside, Leila was anxiously waiting.

Seeing Neera come out, she quickly approached and asked, “Neera, how is my grandfather doing? Is the treatment going smoothly?”

Neera nodded. “The treatment went smoothly this time, and the wug pest has been drawn out from your grandfather’s body. As for your grandfather, he has fallen asleep due to exhaustion from the treatment process. You don’t need to worry. I’ve hooked him up to an IV drip. When he wakes up, he will feel much better.”

With a sense of relief akin to surviving a catastrophe, Leila patted her chest, finally able to relax.

“Thank goodness Grandpa is all right…” She murmured to herself, then noticed the glass jar in Osbert’s hand.

Upon seeing the pale red worm inside still blindly wriggling, she was covered in goosebumps. “So, this thing has been hiding inside my grandfather’s body all along?”

“Yep, and don’t worry. Once it leaves the human body, it’s pretty much half-dead,” answered Neera.

It was not that Leila was scared. She just felt a bit nauseous.

She shifted her gaze away momentarily and then expressed her heartfelt thanks, “Neera, thank you.

I’m so grateful to have met you. Thanks to you, my grandfather’s illness, which has troubled him for so many years, has finally been treated. I don’t even know how to express my gratitude…”

Neera smiled wryly, shaking her head. “There’s no need for such formalities. Your grandfather once helped me. I’m just repaying the favor. As long as I can assist him, that’s all that matters.”

Worried that the medicinal properties of the wug pest might diminish if it stayed out of the human body for too long, she decided to end the conversation. “Don’t worry. Let Mr. Saunders rest well. I’m going to prepare a remedy to restore his physical strength.”

Leila didn’t dare to delay Neera, nodding repeatedly. “All right. Go ahead, then. I’ll stay here and wait for my grandfather to wake up. Thanks for your help.”

Soon, Neera headed to the laboratory, with Osbert closely following behind. “Neera, you mentioned before about using this wug pest for medicine. Can it really serve that purpose?”

“Yes. Only the essence of this wug pest can completely resolve the issue within Mr. Saunders’ body,”

answered Neera.

“Ah… what should we do then?”

Neera put on a white lab coat, wore a mask, and answered, “We need to turn this wug pest itself into a pill for Mr. Saunders to consume.”

The moment those words were spoken, Osbert instantly felt a tingling sensation all over his body. He gulped, unable to resist glancing at the still wriggling wug pest: As he did, a wave of nausea washed over him. “No way. We need to turn this into an edible pill? That’s just terrifying…”

Neera ignored him, directly taking the glass jar from his hand, and proceeded to work on it with great urgency.

It took roughly two hours to develop the antidote, which was immediately given to Willard to consume.

That afternoon, Willard indeed seemed to have recovered a bit.

His illness had lasted for so long, and the treatment process had drained him of so much energy that he still felt somewhat weak.

“Mr. Saunders, all you need to do is go home and rest well for a while, and you should be able to recover about eighty to ninety percent. The rest will just require some recuperation,” said Neera./

The Saunders family naturally had no issues with that, considering they had a medicinal background.

At that moment, Willard expressed his gratitude repeatedly. “I owe you my life, Neera. Meeting you is indeed my blessing.”

Neera smiled. “Please, don’t say that. You’re giving me too much credit. If you’re not busy, why don’t you let Leila take you home to rest?”

“All right, I’ll take Grandpa home now. Once he’s feeling better, I’ll bring him over for a visit!” Leila was immensely grateful, and after a short while, she left with Willard.

After seeing off the two, Neera chose not to leave. Instead, she stayed to continue her research on that peculiar wug pest.

Osbert was quité intrigued and, thus, engaged in a discussion with her.

As he was speaking, he suddenly remembered something. “By the way, Neera, you probably don’t know yet. Thora has recently moved out, planning to start her own business.”
