Neera was visibly exasperated. “How could it be? That’s
just ridiculous.”

Shane said earnestly, “How could it not? Could it be that you’re unaware of how charming your beauty
is?”
He even made a point to stop Charles. “Don’t you think I’m right?”
Charles yed along, nodding solemnly. “I do.”
Neera was rendered speechless.

Finnley shook his head repeatedly, stroking his beard with a deep sigh. “Ah, when only appearances
matter, it means that we’re experiencing a moral decline.”
Neera didn’t know how to react again.
What’s going on here? Aren’t they here to participate in a dangerous election in the jungle election, one
that involves a violent struggle? Why are they indulging in idle gossip?
“Could you all please stop making things up? That’s not their intention at all. You’ll just end up making
things feel awkward.”
The corner of her mouth twitched as she quickly stopped them.
Shane smiled and chose not to say anything more.
As they spoke, they had already bypassed the two shing forces and arrived at a rtively secluded
clearing.
Soon, a tent was set up. Shane urged, “Go in quickly, change the dressing on your wound, and rest.
You don’t look
well.”
Neera felt somewhat apologetic. “Shane, I’m sorry for the trouble and for taking up so much of your
time today.”
Shane tousled her hair. “Don’t mention it. I’ll be upset if you keep harping on it,”
Just then, he sensed a scorching and threatening gaze fall upon him.
ncing back, he saw his restingpanions, Caleb and Darcel, standing nearby, engrossed in some
discussion.
Caleb was as gentle and refined as ever, wearing a smile and exuding a rxed aura.
As for Darcel, it seemed as if he had noticed Shane and was looking straight at thetter. His gaze fell
almost imperceptibly on the hand Shane had ced on Neera’s head.
The gaze, deep and inscrutable, was utterly piercing.
Oh, So that’s how it is? Could it be that I have hit the nail on the head…
He arched an eyebrow, shing an enigmatic smile at Darcel. Then, he turned around and paid Darcel
no further heed.
He naturally lowered his hand, urging once again, “Stop ming yourself all the time. If you really feel
embarrassed, just focus on recuperating as quickly as possible.”
Neera responded with a hum before entering the tent.

She waspletely oblivious to the minor incident that just urred.
Caleb, who was close by, saw everything clearly.

“Hey, if you keep this up, you’ll give yourself away. They’re siblings, and you’re still jealous? Are you
sure you haven’t let jealousy consume you?”
Darcel withdrew his gaze and gave Caleb the side-eye. “It’s none of your business.”
Calebughed. “Hey, looks like you’re really jealous. This is the first time I’ve seen it. It’s quite
interesting. It seems Ms. Garcia’s charm is truly irresistible.”
Darcel couldn’t be bothered with Caleb, so he turned around and left.
He knew better than anyone just how charming Neera was.
Even though Shane was her sibling, he didn’t want any other man to be as intimate to her as he was.
Even though he knew it wasn’t right and tried to restrain himself, his intense possessiveness still upset
him.
Neera had just changed the dressing on her wound when suddenly, a figure approached from outside
the tent.
“Is it all right for me toe in?” Darcel’s voice rang out.
For some reason, Neera suddenly recalled what Shane and the others had just said, causing her
cheeks to flush unexpectedly.
“It’s not convenient at the moment. May I ask what’s the matter?” Her response was slightly soft, and
she felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
Outside, Darcel’s eyes lowered as he spoke softly, “I’ve brought you some ointment. It will help your
wounds heal.”
“Ah… Thank you, could you please wait a moment?”
Neera put on her clothes, tidied up her hair, and lifted the tent p. When she looked up, her gaze met
those deep, profound eyes.
“Thank you.” Neera took the medicine, feeling somewhat awkward for no apparent reason.
Darcel, however, didn’t seem ufortable at all as he handed her another thermos.
“This is a medicinal soup. Have it and take a nap. You’ll feel much better when you
Neera was surprised as she looked at the thermos in her arms, then at him.
wake up.”
When did he manage to make this? It’s in a thermos. Did he prepare it in advance during the morning
just in case I feel unwell?
At that moment, all sorts of questions sprang up, swirling around in her mind.
Suddenly, she felt at a loss, as if the thermos in her arms had be scorchingly hot, leaving her
unsure whether to keep it or not.
Isn’t this gesture… a little too much?
If I were to ept it, could it possibly lead to any unnecessary misunderstandings?
Seemingly seeing through her worries, Darcel calmly said, “Caleb wanted to take extra care of you.
After all, our families are joining forces, and it’s only right that we help each other.”
With his exnation, Neera felt a burning sensation in her cheeks as a sense of embarrassment
swelled within
her.
So, I have been overthinking it after all! This is all Shane and the others’ fault. Their words have caused
my imagination to run wild.
At that moment, she quickly expressed her gratitude while averting his gaze in embarrassment. After
that, she dove back into the tent.
