Chapter 1060
Avery couldn't help but laugh as he observed Neera's admiration of the medicinal materials. “It seems you reallylike them. All the effort I put into finding them feels worthwhile now.”
Blushing slightly, Neera carefully closed the lids of each brocade box. “I won't deny it; I really need thesemedicinal materials.”
Avery was more than willing to provide what she needed, and his only concern was her refusal. He respondedpromptly, “It looks like my efforts have paid off. If you like them, take them all. After all, I've collected themspecifically for you. They're of no use to me.”
However, Neera hesitated to accept everything as it was. “There's no need for so much. These medicinalingredients are extremely valuable. If I could take just one or two types, I'd be very grateful.”
“No matter how valuable these medicinal herbs are, they can't compare to the help you've given me. You've beentreating me and going out of your way without ever asking for treatment fees. Consider these gifts as a smalltoken of my gratitude. You don't need to take it to heart; don't be so formal with me. Please accept them,” Averyinsisted.
Although Neera felt that something wasn't quite right, Avery was insistent, and she reluctantly accepted all themedicinal herbs, saying, “Thank you very much.”
Avery smiled warmly. “No need for formalities; we're practically family now. I'll be counting on your care andsupport in the future.”
On the surface, their conversation seemed ordinary, but Neera had a lingering suspicion that there was a deepermeaning behind Avery's words.
However, since he chose not to clarify further, she decided to play along, pretending not to notice any underlyingintentions. She wouldn't be the one to talk things out.
After taking stock of the medicinal herbs, she realized it was getting late and decided to take her leave.
“Please take good care of yourself. Even though your condition has improved significantly, your chest injuryhasn't fully healed. Rest and avoid strenuous activities for too long.”
Avery acknowledged her advice with a nod. He was indeed feeling exhausted and knew he couldn't push himselfmuch further. Neera's words resonated with his own thoughts.
“You should head home now. I'll have my driver take you. We'll meet again another day,” he said.
“All right, until next time.”
Shortly afterward, Neera arrived home.
Chad was in the living room, engrossed in watching financial news, and he noticed her return. Concerned, heinquired, “How is Avery doing now?”
Neera relayed the truth, and Chad found relief in the news. “That's wonderful. Your medical skills are remarkable.With your treatment, Avery's health should be in good hands.”
Adriana, upon seeing the brocade boxes brought in by Ulric, couldn't contain her curiosity. She asked, “What areall these?”
“They're all medicinal materials.” Neera smiled.
“Medicinal materials? Where did they come from? And why are there so many?”
“Avery, to show his gratitude, helped me find some rare medicinal herbs, including 'June Snow',” Neera sharedwith excitement. However, she held back some words that almost escaped her lips.
Adriana, not familiar with these medicinal herbs, asked, “What's so special about June Snow?”
Neera's smile wavered slightly as she replied, “Oh, it's nothing. Just that it's very precious and quite rare.”
“I see.” Adriana nodded. “Avery is indeed considerate.”
