Chapter 955

Chapter 955 Growing Increasingly Shameless In a split second, Jean caught her gaze, and it was somewhat deep and inscrutable.

After a moment of eye contact, he finally spoke softly, “Accept it. After all, it’s a token of someone’s gratitude.”

Then, he casually said, “It’s acceptable as a thank-you gift. You treated him, so taking a little reward isn’t a big deal.”

With just a few words, the gift and Avery’s position was stated clearly.

Violet paused, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly as she glanced at him.

However, in the end, she didn’t say anything. She just held the box and stared fixedly at Neera.

The latter had no choice but to accept it.

“Alright, just leave it outside. It’s not convenient for me to come out right now. I’ll get it after you leave.

Also, please convey my thanks to Mr. Cox.”

Violet nodded as she had heard about the events of the past two days. She placed the box on the ground, and then left.

Once she was out of sight, Neera finally opened the door and brought the snowleaf inside.

She glanced at the treasure in the box, sighed helplessly, and closed it again.

“What’s the matter? You received a gift and you’re still not happy?”

A deep, ethereal voice echoed above her head.

As Neera looked up, he saw Jean’s handsome face, filled with displeasure.

She couldn’t help it and burst out laughing with a “pfft”.

Jean looked at her with a half-smile. “You can still laugh?”

Neera held back, but her eyes were filled with amusement. “You know what, I find you quite adorable like this.”

Hearing her describe himself as “cute”, Jean was somewhat at a loss for words.

“You’re this happy when other men give you gifts?”

His tone carried a hint of danger.

Neera didn’t answer. Instead, she asked him, “Do you want to hear the truth, or a lie?”

Jean drawled, “What do you think?”

Neera didn’t hold back, nodding straightforwardly. “I’m delighted. After all, this is a seven-hundred-year-

old snowleaf. It is extremely rare and valuable.”

Upon hearing this response, Jean’s mood was far from pleasant.

But before Neera could finish, she added with a playful smile. “But I prefer the ones you gave me.”

Upon hearing this, the hint of jealousy in Jean’s heart finally dissipated.

He raised his hand, lightly tapping the top of the petite woman’s head with his knuckles. His pleasant voice carried a hint of amusement. “That’s more like it.

Upon seeing this, Eugene who was standing nearby couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed. “Hey, could you two please be mindful of the surrounding? There’s an old man here, but you’re being so affectionate with each other…”

Neera smiled, her exquisite face regaining its usual brilliance.

“Alright. Then let’s save our lovey-dovey moments after we get back home.”

Eugene was not amused. “…You cheeky girl. You’re becoming more and more shameless.”

He might have said that, but he couldn’t help but feel joy in his heart seeing her so happy.

Next, Neera stopped joking around, looked at Osbert and the others, and said seriously, “Let’s go. It’s time to start preparing the medicine.”

Everyone nodded in agreement and together, they entered the laboratory.

Having had previous experience, it only took one evening to prepare the medicine this time.

Early the next morning, a potion identical to the ancient recipe was successfully developed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and even though they were tired, their faces were all brimming with satisfied smiles.

After Neera confirmed the potion was developed according to the ancient recipe, she instructed Osbert, “Hurry up and administer the medicine to all the infected patients!”

An hour later, all allergic reactions in the infected individuals had completely subsided.

The small red dot had disappeared, and the large patches of red had also vanished.

Venessa, who was one of the first few individuals who was infected, had also improved significantly.

She just needed to rest for two more days to fully recover.

Joy and excitement permeated every corner of the research center.

Neera finally breathed a sigh of relief. “At last, it’s all good!”

Beside her, Jean was watching the scene, his eyes and brows all soaked in a gentle smile.

In the past few days, everyone in the institute had been on edge.

So, Neera quickly gave the order.

“Except for those who were needed, everyone else was on leave. Go home and get some good rest!”

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered and applauded joyfully.
