Chapter 944:
''Was it really impulse that caused Ste to run away from her wedding with Weston ?’Zeta wondered
and pursed her lips.
Ste''s words did little to convince her.
"You''re not an impulsive person. Ifyou''re not sure, you wouldn''t have decided to do that." Zeta could
see through her. Ste dropped her head.
"It''s indeed not as simple as I imed.” Ste probably would not havee this far if it weren''t for
Warren''s promise. Warren, however, had never shown himself until now. She wondered if Warren had
changed his mind or if he had lost the game between him and Weston.
Either way, her fate was decided. There was no chance of things changing "If you''re notfortable
talking about it, then don''t." Zeta stopped forcing her.
"I understand your situation. If you have time today, get yourself a detailed examination. If there''s
nothing physical, it may be a psychological problem. I can rmend you a good psychiatrist..."
"Okay. Thanks, Dr. Taylor." It was about time. Ste looked at the clock on the wall and saw that the
half-hour was almost up. Weston should be back soon.
“Do you still have patients ? I shouldn''t keep taking up your time."
“Don''t worry about it,” Zeta said.
“I don''t have many appointments today. You''re myst patient.” Zeta gave it a thought and suddenly
remembered something. She said, smiling, “I almost forgot to give you the wedding gift.”
She pointed to the lush potted nts on the balcony.
“ I''ve raised these with care. Pick one." Ste froze for a moment, surprised that Zeta would give her a
potted nt. She walked over to the healthy green nts, and upon closer inspection , she found that
they looked lush and well-trimmed.
"Did you raise these yourself?".
“Yes. I like gardening to pass the time. The hobby helps me cultivate my body and soul.”
After Zeta typed a few lines on theputer, she said to Ste, “You can pick a pot of your choice."
Zeta did not know what to get Ste. After all, it was hard to define the depth of their friendship. They
were not that close, so giving Ste an expensive gift seemed slightly -..- .-. inappropriate . However, if
she gave her something too inexpensive, it would be embarrassing. The nts were all her own. They
were not ridiculously expensive, but they were all valuable species. Hence, Zeta thought the nts
would make a suitable gift.
Ste was happy to ept them too, knowing herself that she probably wouldn''t ept something like
expensive jewelry. All things considered, it was indeed thoughtful of Zeta to give her a potted nt she
nted with her own hands. The lush greens would be easy on the eyes. Ste saw a bonsai with red
flower bones and thought it was pretty.
“What kind of nt is this? It blooms in the spring." Ste wanted to touch it.
"Wait, don''t touch it!" Zeta had just finished writing the case, and when she turned around to see Ste
reaching out to touch the potted nt, she jumped in shock and hurriedly stopped Ste.
“Don''t touch that! It''s poisonous!" Ste was stunned and instinctively withdrew her hand.
" Poisonous?" ''How could a potted nt be poisonous...'' Ste thought. Zeta walked up to her and was
relieved to see that she had not touched it. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"You have good eyes. This is the Oleander nt. It''s very poisonous.”
"Oleander?" Ste did not know much about nts. She just thought it sounded like a pretty good
name.
"Is it a tree?"
"No." Zeta shook her head, smiling.
Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Oleander is amon ornamental evergreen shrub that blooms throughout the year. It has the best
blooms in summer and autumn, but it rarely bears fruit when potted...” Ste nodded.
“So it''s not some sort of tree.” The nt sported a very beautiful five-petaled flower, its deep pink
warmly juxtaposed against the green. It was gorgeous.
"Did you just say that this is poisonous?" Zeta nodded with a stern look. ..
"I was about to take it home. If I leave it here, someone might get hurt,” Zeta exined.
