    Soon, the treatment began.


    Wird had a tough time handling the second treatment.


    The wug pest was provoked, causing havoc inside his body.


    80%


    Wird could not endure it any longer, his body covered in purple lines that extended all the way to his


    face. Even his eyes were not spared, giving him an especially frightening appearance.


    Le was terrified, covering her mouth in shock and panic, at a loss for what to do.


    “Grandpa…” Le voiced her concern. “Why is this episode so severe this time…”


    Instead of making time to respond to her query, Neera continued to focus on administering the


    acupuncture. Ayer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.


    Ten minutester, she finally stopped what she was doing and let out a faint sigh.


    Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, she thenforted Le. “Ms. Saunders, don’t worry. The


    reason for this reaction is that the wug pest within him can sense danger, and that’s why its response is


    so intense. But this requires a lot of energy. If I want topletely remove the wug pest, I have to


    repeatedly mislead and guide the wug pest to leave the body. It’s only by doing so that I can eliminate


    its poison. But don’t worry, as the number of outbreaks increases, the subsequent ones won’t be as


    intense. They will only be weaker and weaker.”


    “So that’s how it is. I was really terrified just now.” Le finally let out a long sigh of relief.


    Neera removed the needles an hourter, but Wird was still in a deep slumber.


    She handed Le two pills and said, “When he wakes upter, please tell him to take these pills. I


    developed the medicine myself, and it can alleviate the pain he’s currently experiencing. He should


    start feeling better soon. However, because he just had an episode, his body might still be a bit weak.


    Don’t worry; it’s normal. Just remember to continue nourishing his body.”


    “Thank you so much, Ms. Garcia. Without you, I wouldn’t know what to do.” Le carefully noted down


    her instructions.


    Neera shook her head. “You don’t have to thank me. It’s what I should do.”


    Before she left, she left behind some medication to be taken after meals and provided a set of detailed


    instructions.


    Upon leaving the café, she immediately spotted Jean waiting next to the car.


    The man immediately approached her when he saw her from a distance. He took her hand in his and


    studied her face. “Are you tired?”


    “Nope.” Neera chuckled. “I’m fine.”


    Despite giving him reassurance that she was not tired, administering acupuncture can be quite


    draining.


    She was, in fact, a bit weary, but it was not the time to take a break yet. “Take me to Avery’s. I need to


    see him.”


    Jean knitted his brows, feeling his heart ache upon seeing her like that. “You’ve just finished treating


    one person, and now you’re off to treat another? Don’t you care about your health? When you were ill,


    you had to take care of so many people. Now that you’ve just recovered, you still have to look after


    them. You’re not invincible, you know?”


    Upon noticing his dismay, Neera had no choice but to reassure him with sweet, gentle words. “Don’t


    worry about it. I’m fine. A little rest on the way is all I need. Besides, learning is a never- ending journey,


    right? I’m doing this to enhance my medical skills and broaden my knowledge. Treating two people is


    just an additional opportunity to be more proficient.”


    She hooked her arm through his, tilting her head back and adopting an ingratiating tone. “Besides,


    Avery gave me such a precious snowleaf. You said it yourself, it’s a thank-you gift for treating him.


    Since I’ve epted it, I should do my utmost in return. Only then can I repay his kindness, right? After


    all, he’s not you. You’re one of my own, so I can ept your gifts without any worries. He and I are just


    friends, nothing more. I can’t possibly ept his gifts without feeling guilty!”

    Jean could not help but agree with her justifications, and that seemed to relieve his frustrations a little.


    “You know, you’re really good with words.” Not knowing what to do with her, he could only sigh and


    gently pinch her cheek.


    “Who told you so? Besides using my mouth for eating, it also has many other uses too!” Neera teased


    him with a grin.


    Jean narrowed his eyes and asked, “What else can it be used for, if not for sweet talking?”


    “This.” Neera suddenly stood on her tiptoes and leaned in to give him a kiss.
