Upon hearing that, Jean could no longer sit still.
“Be good, don't be scared. Hang on! I'm coming right over.”
“No way!”
Neera hurriedly stopped Jean, her heart thumping anxiously.
“You can't come over! This thing is contagious. You'll get infected too if you come!”
Jean couldn't care less about himself. Right now, Neera's safety was his priority.
“So what? I won't be at ease until I see you.”
Neera's heart raced as she heard him getting up over the phone. Afraid that he might actually come over despitethe risks, she raised her tone and said, “You think you're the only one worried here? I'm worried about you too! Ifyou get infected as well, I might lose my mind!”
Jean came to a halt. Standing rigidly next to his office desk, he clenched his fist around his phone.
With the phone still connected, an agonizing silence occurred.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Neera spoke again, her voice softened.
Gently soothing him, she said, “I know you're worried about me, and if possible, I'd love to have you by my side.But right now, I have no idea how serious my infection is, let alone if there's any treatment. I can't take this risk,Jean. It's a miracle that you weren't infected last night. You can't come here. Trust me, I won't let anything happen
to myself. Soon, I will figure out what the problem is and how to treat it.”
After pausing for a while, she continued, “I can only self-quarantine in the research center for these few days.Aunt Adriana and the children still don't know about my condition, so try not to tell them, and please take goodcare of them for me. If they find out, I'll have to rely on you to reassure them so that they won't worry about me.” novelbin
A few seconds later, Jean finally uttered a word in his deep voice. “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Jean's brows were furrowed.
He truly felt what it meant to be gripped with anxiousness.
As every second passed, the feeling of uneasiness and worry began to engulf him.
In the end, he couldn't just stand by idly. After a moment of hesitation, he called Osbert.
Jean might not know anything about medicine, but he knew that Osbert and Obadiah might be able to help.
Meanwhile, Osbert was in Obadiah's research center. Upon hearing the news, he became anxious andimmediately called Neera.
“Neera, why didn't you tell me about such a big incident? What exactly happened? Are you sure it's an allergy? Ifyes, what caused it?”
Neera replied seriously, “It's not yet confirmed. If there is any allergen, it hasn't been identified.”
Her entire body was itching, but she tensed her body to restrain herself from scratching.
Osbert immediately suggested, “I'll come over and get your blood sample for testing. I can also ask Mr. Hansonfor help.”
Initially, Neera didn't agree to it, but Osbert insisted.
“Neera, you're affected now. If you're feeling unwell, it will be hard for you to concentrate on researching yourillness. What if it worsens your condition? Let me handle this matter instead.”
What Osbert said made sense, so despite Neera's repeated hesitation, she eventually agreed to it.
“I'll leave my blood sample at the door in a bit. When you arrive later, take it. Remember to wear gloves anddisinfect the container when you take it back. Avoid contact at all costs!”
Osbert nodded. Before going over to Neera's location, he briefly discussed her situation with Obadiah.
Upon hearing that, Obadiah quickly agreed to help. “Okay. Hurry up and bring the sample over!”
When afternoon came, Neera's condition had gotten worse.
However, she forced herself to keep on with the various tests.
At first, she wondered if it was an allergic reaction caused by some medication she had accidentally came across.
However, no clues were found after a meticulous inspection.
As nightfall descended, the red spots on her arms multiplied and even extended to her face.
Still worried, Jean video-called Neera. Upon seeing the symptoms, his eyes darkened.
He felt as if he were being roasted over a fire and tormented to the brink of death.
This feeling of being unable to help left him in a state of intense anxiety. His brows were knitted together tightly.
Neera acted like she was fine and comforted him with a smile because she didn't want him to worry.
“You're wearing that cold expression again. Can you not do that? It doesn't bother me, but it does look a bit scarysometimes...”
In truth, she was itching all over so much that she felt like she was going insane.
