âMs. Garcia, you need to take care of your health to research effectively. While youâre in this state, you shouldnât push yourself too hard.â
Neera understood that, too, but she just couldnât find a way to calm down and rest.
In the end, it was she who pushed herself to the brink of exhaustion, unable to stand, before she had no choice but to hook herself up to an IV drip.
The transparent medicinal fluid, drop by drop, flowed into her body through the thin catheter.
She lay on her back, her arm draped over her forehead, and her face visibly weary.
Zephyr, who was next to her, also felt grim and gloomy.
In his memory, ever since he started following Neera, he had never seen her in such a disheveled state.
It seems this time, weâve really encountered Buzz! Buzz!
tough problemâ¦
In the room where one could hear a pin drop, the sudden vibration of the mobile phone broke the silence.
Before Neera knew it, she had fallen asleep.
Zephyr glanced at the screen, saw it was a call from Jean, and answered it for her.
âNeera, are you feeling better now?â
As soon as the call was connected, Jeanâs worried inquiry came through.
âMr. Beauvort, itâs me, Zephyr. Ms. Garcia is asleep now.â
Jean paused for a moment, his voice instantly becoming deeper.
âHow is she now? Is she still running a fever?â
âYes, Ms. Garcia has been anxiously searching for a breakthrough, but there has been no progress.
Sheâs almost worn out. Sheâs now on an IV drip, exhausted and asleep.â
Upon hearing that, Jean felt his heart being tightly gripped by an invisible force.
After hanging up the phone, he was on tenterhooks.
Left with no other options, all he could do was call Osbert to ask about the progress on his end.
âJean, please donât worry. Mr. Hanson has already entrusted his friend to investigate the cause of the illness. The friend is an expert in allergies, so we should have results soon.â
How could Jean possibly not be anxious?
âHow much longer do we have to wait? Sheâs barely holding on over there. Sheâs running a fever and has been overworking these past few days. If this continues, Iâm afraid things will only get worse for her!â
Â¥66%æ He had become anxious from being overly worried, making it difficult for him to stay calm. His speech was both fast and pressuring.
After he finished speaking, he realized his lapse in composure. He closed his eyes briefly, then raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.
âSorry, I was too hasty.â
Osbert expressed his understanding. âJean, I know youâre worried about Neera, and I feel the same.
But right now, we really donât have any other options. All we can do is wait.â
However, Jean didnât want it that way.
After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly asked, âIs there any way I could get into the research center? Even though I may not be of much help, I can be there with her, even if itâs just to take care of her.â
Upon hearing that, Osbert immediately dismissed the idea without a second thought.
âNo way, Jean. Itâs not that I donât want to help you. Itâs just that the allergen of this disease is still unclear, and thereâs no treatment method. Your health isnât great to begin with. If you go in and get infected, wouldnât that be troublesome? Neera would definitely be even more anxious thenâ¦â
Jean had anticipated the other partyâs disagreement, but he still wouldnât give up.
âThereâs always a way⦠If I wear protective suits, that should work, right?â
Osbert paused for a moment, wanting to say no.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he hesitated.
âLogically speaking, wearing a sterile isolation suit should pose no issues. The allergic contagion should only be transmitted through skin contact. However, you still canât go, so how about I go in your place? Jean, please patiently wait at home. Donât make Neera worry.â
In fact, he was also quite worried about Neera. Taking a risk to go there once wasnât really a problem., Yet, Jean didnât want to rely on others. He insisted, saying, âI must go myself. If I donât see her in person, I wonât be at ease.â
Unable to refuse him further, Osbert could only reluctantly agree.
At the research center.
Around noon, Neera finally woke up, feeling somewhat groggy. Thankfully, her fever had subsided a bit.
Upon learning that Jean had called her, she quickly dialed him back.
âMy fever has subsided, and Iâm feeling much better. You donât need to worry about me. Take good care of yourself.â
Upon hearing the strength return to her voice, Jean finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he didnât tell her that he was planning to go and find her.
If I tell her, she will surely not agree.
She calculated the time in her mind, silently thinking that something wasnât right.
The time since the last treatment was quite short. Logically, it should have lasted at least half a month.
Leila quickly responded, âNot at all, but I do believe that prevention is always better.â
Hearing that, Neera breathed a sigh of relief.
This allergic reaction had left her at her witsâ end, and she truly didnât have any energy left.
At that moment, she told Leila honestly, âIâm sorry, but I wonât be able to treat your grandfather in the near future.â
Leila was puzzled. âWhy? What happened?â
Neera didnât hide anything and quickly shared her situation with her.
âThatâs the situation. Iâve caught the infection, too, and need to be quarantined. If I were to interact with you all recklessly, I might spread it to you. Therefore, your grandfatherâs illness will have to be put on hold for now.â
