Chapter 966

Chapter 966 Is Not Restraint At that moment, Neera remained composed, skillfully steering the conversation toward Avery. “Thanks, but I’m fine. You should focus on yourself right now. You don’t look so well. Has your wound gotten worse?”

The attending physician beside them quickly clarified, “No, he has improved significantly. The medicine you provided earlier has been very effective, and his wounds are healing well.”

Neera pulled open Avery’s clothes to take a look and found that the wound had indeed healed very well.

However, Avery’s pale face suggested something wasn’t right.

After a moment of contemplation, she solemnly took his pulse, finding it to be considerably erratic.

Upon hearing that, the physician immediately became anxious. “How could this be? Could it be that the wug pest has acted prematurely?”

Neera withdrew her hand, shaking her head. “Clearly not. When the wug acts up, red lines will appear.

It’s easy to identify at a glance.”

“Then…” The doctor wore a look of confusion.

Neera didn’t respond, her brows slightly furrowed as she looked at Avery with confusion.

Avery calmly met her gaze.

It didn’t seem like anything was out of place, but Neera felt something was off.

After studying Avery intently for a while, she suddenly focused on something.

Neera noticed that his brow was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

A deep-seated anger and hatred were hidden within his eyes. It would be didn’t look closely.

hard to detect if one At that moment, she put on a stern expression and spoke frankly with Avery. “Mr. Cox, your condition makes it very difficult for me to treat you.”

Her sudden remark left Avery stunned. “What’s wrong? Isn’t my condition improving? How could it be hard to treat-”

Neera glanced at him coldly. “You should know better than me if things are improving.”

At that point, Avery was still unclear about the situation and continued to explain in confusion. “I’ve been fully cooperative with the treatment, eating well, and taking my medication on time, just as you instructed. And as you can see, my wound is healing quite nicely, isn’t it-”

“Are you sure you’ve done everything I told you to?” Neera questioned him, pointing at his chest. “I can heal your physical wounds, but when it comes to the ailments of the heart, there’s no cure. No one can help you! Didn’t I tell you last time? I asked you to stop dwelling on other things and not be consumed by hatred. Have you managed to do that?”

The look in Avery’s eyes slightly faltered. He pursed his lips, remaining silent.

The look in Avery’s eyes slightly faltered. He pursed his lips, remaining silent.

“If you can’t alleviate your own heartache, it will only deepen over time. If you continue like this, it could cost you your life,” said Neera.

After a brief silence, Avery spoke softly. “I’ve been holding back a lot.”

Upon hearing that, Neera became instantly irritated, sternly retorting, “This isn’t self-restraint! This is self-torture!”

It appeared he had never seen her so stern before. Avery stared at her face, momentarily stunned.

Neera was furious, so her words became increasingly harsh. “This is your last chance! Avery, if you don’t listen to me, I won’t come to save you next time!”

After saying that, she took out a silver needle from the needle box and stabbed it into several meridian points on Avery’s chest.

In an instant, Avery’s expression drastically changed. A few seconds later, he suddenly leaned over and vomited a large mouthful of black blood.

Blood still clung to the corner of his mouth. His face was deathly pale, making him look somewhat frightening.

Upon hearing the commotion, the two elders and Violet hurriedly rushed in. The sight they witnessed instantly terrified them.

“What’s going on? Why are you suddenly coughing up blood?” Violet rushed over in a panic, supporting Avery. She frowned at Neera, her gaze carrying a hint of aggression. “What are you doing?!”

Neera observed Avery’s complexion and slowly put away the silver needle. “He’s been harboring a lot of resentment because of what happened with Charles. His condition would only have gotten worse if he hadn’t coughed up this blood. Forget about treating the poison. Even without it, he wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer in his current state because of his hatred!”
