After concluding the examination, Neera remarked, “It appears the antidote has done its job. Any traces left in your system have been eradicated. However, the surgery took a toll on you; the blood loss weakened you considerably. It’ll take a long time for you to recover to your original health.”

She retrieved a white vial from the medicine box.

“I’ve prepared this, especially for you. It’s useful for restoring or gan function. Consume one pill after every meal, three times daily. You will fully recover after a month.”

Dandy glanced at the vial. She sneered and mocked in a strange tone, “What exactly is this? There’s no label, no list of components. Can we trust it? Is it some kind of concoction? Given Wrenn’s fragile state, the last thing she

needs is more trouble.”

Everyone present grasped Dandy’s insinuation.

Neera finally shifted her gaze to her, but her expression was very cold. She countered, “Didn’t you hear what I just said? I developed this medicine myself. What’s wrong? What are you worried about?”

Dandy snorted coldly and challenged Neera, “Of course I am! This concerns her life. How can we allow her to ingest something of uncertain origin? If anything happens to her, can you bear the responsibility?”

“Every doctor is responsible for their patients, myself included,” Neera retorted evenly, a trace of irony in her voice.

“Mrs. Marks, it’s best if you hold back your opinions on subjects you’re unfamiliar with. All you’ve showcased is your lack of knowledge. I am a professional. It’s not your place to interfere with how I prescribe medication to my patients.

“Moreover, don’t you think your skepticism is pointless? If I have ill intentions, wouldn’t it have been simpler to let Joanna’s scheme take its course. There’s no need for me to go through all these troubles.

Are you a fool, or do you think so little of me?”

Her remarks were harsh and it silenced Dandy.

Dandy’s demeanor darkened and berated, “You…who are calling me a fool? I’m your elder, right?

Shouldn’t you show me some respect?”

Neera replied with a hint of disdain, “I believe I’ve been respectful. You, on the other hand, hurled malicious accusations without any proof. You’re the one that lacks manners.”

Dandy was at a loss for words, a mix of frustration and anger evident on her face.

Kyra didn’t appreciate seeing her mother being reprimanded.

Just as she was about to interfere, Jean spoke up.

He said, “Mrs. Marks, while I understand your concerns for my mother, let me make something clear!

Neera is my wife. Your doubts are unnecessary, and I expect you won’t express them again.”

His voice carried a note of displeasure. It was evident where his loyalty lay.

Nobody should question my wife.

Embarrassed, Dandy’s complexion had turned ghastly pale.

Trying to ease the tension, Kyra said, “Mom didn’t mean any harm. Please don’t misinterpret her concern. She’s just worried about Aunt Wrenn’s well-being.”

She then diverted her gaze to Neera and softly mediated, “Ms. Garcia, my mom, is blunt due to her worries. Please don’t take her words to heart.”

Neera was not bothered to respond. She simply placed the medicine on the bedside table.

“If you trust me, follow my directions. If not, that’s your choice. Once you’re home, try to stay in bed as much as possible. Move your muscles and joints a little every day, but avoid strenuous exercise! Have a nutritious diet to regain your strength. With time, and you’ll fully recover.”

After she gave the doctor’s order, she calmly added, “If there’s nothing else, I should get going now.”

Jean immediately approached her and said, “I’ll walk

you out.”

Neera didn’t object. The pair left the hospital ward side by side.

When they were at the door, Frederic suddenly called out to Neera.

“Neera… We owe you a great deal for this. You’ve worked hard, make sure you get some rest when you get home.”
