Chapter 125

Neera checked his vitals and the more she checked, the graver her expression became.

She realized that Jean’s health did not improve that much. In fact, it had gotten worse.

She rubbed her forehead and took out a diagnosis device. She checked his vitals once again.

“How do you feel? Do you feel pain in these parts?”

Jean’s face was taut, but his voice did not reflect his true sensation, “It’s painful, alright.”

Neera was not happy to hear that.

“If you know that something’s wrong, you should tell me earlier! Based on my treatment, you should be fine atleast for the coming ten days, but only a few days have elapsed, yet you are already feeling such pain. It’s soonerthan I thought. It means that I need to adjust my treatment accordingly!”

Jean retrieved his arm and slowly rolled down his sleeve. He noticed that Neera was in a bad mood now.

“It’s my fault this time. Sorry! Now, what should we do about this?”

Neera glared at him, “Do you even need to ask? Of course, I need to tend to it as soon as possible! Let me giveyou a warning. You shall tell me every time you feel pain like this. Otherwise, if our progress is affected, you willneed to bear the consequences yourself!”

How could this man endure such pain wordlessly? He was really too reckless!

Jean understood that she was serious about treating him, so he said nothing although her attitude left a lot to be

desired.

Neera stopped reprimanding him too.

She could not delay the treatment anymore.

After some hesitation, she finally stated, “We need to treat you tonight. We cannot delay this any further. I will goback and do some preparation, and you will need to give me two hours.”

Jean would not take this lightly either since it was about his health, “Got it.”

Neera completely forgot about her business for coming here in the first place.

She was about to leave but Jean called out to her, “You don’t have anything else to say, do you?”

Neera did not know what he meant, “What?”

Jean almost wanted to laugh upon seeing her innocent face. He decided to expose her, “You dug that hole to letyour dogs come into my compound, and you pretended to come to look for them. What were you planning? Justtell me straight to my face. I will give you a chance since you are going to treat me.”

Neera was dumbstruck for some time and she finally realized that Jean actually knew what was going on thewhole time.

Her face immediately turned red. This was so embarrassing.

Luckily, she did not panic. She calmed down and answered naturally, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. There’s some

business that I want to talk to you about.”

Jean raised his brows, “Is that all?”

Neera nodded solemnly, “Yes, that’s all.”

“Alright, spill it.”

Jean jerked his chin in the direction of a stony stool opposite him. He was signaling for her to sit down.

Neera sat down and told him about Startales’ plan to introduce its products in Beauvort World. novelbin

“Although our brand is not that famous in the nation, it’s quite influential overseas. Dr. Nancy oversaw theresearch and production process, in fact. It’s a trustable product.”

Jean’s eyes narrowed when he heard that name.

He used to think that Neera could be Nancy.

It happened that this time, Nancy somehow had a part in the product that Neera was overseeing. This was toomuch of a coincidence. It made him suspect her even more!

He gazed at her with his dark eyes so that he would not miss any changes on her face. He asked her straight, “Doyou know Nancy personally?”

Neera was not fazed as she tried to sound natural, “I know her. After all, she participated in the production of ourproducts, and we are also in the same industry. Sometimes, we would cross paths for professional reasons, so you

can say that…. We are acquainted.”

Although she sounded natural, her heart was racing.

She was not ready to admit that in fact, she was none other than Nancy.

If he knew that she used to make him wait to no avail at that time, he would definitely get revenge on her!

Jean was still suspicious as he gazed at her quizzically.

Neera was afraid that she would get exposed, so she hastily added, “In fact, I can heal you without Dr. Nancy’shelp. You know my skills. I am not bluffing at all. Of course, if there is some complication, I would ask her foradvice as well. Don’t worry.”

She tried to make everything sound genuine. She even convinced herself in the process.

Jean felt that something was off, but he also felt that Neera had no reason to lie like that. He decided to let thissuspicion slide for now.
