Female Novel
Chapter 933
Neera would rather endure her discomfort, muster up her energy, and work through the night to identify theallergen.
It was not until dawn that she reached her final conclusion.
Vanessa's illness did not originate from food allergies but, rather, from contact with something.
Meanwhile, the period from transmission to others to the onset of symptoms was roughly around twelve hours.
As for Vanessa, who came into contact with the allergen for the first time, the onset of her reaction was evenshorter.
After carefully examining everything, Neera recalled the previous day's events.
Roughly estimating the time, she immediately questioned Vanessa.
“Think back. The day before yesterday afternoon, did you come into contact with anything unusual? In the hoursbefore you started feeling unwell, did you go anywhere?”
Following her words, Vanessa carefully pondered, then shook her head with a frown.
“No, I haven't. Since I arrived at nine in the morning the day before yesterday, I've been busy in Laboratory Oneand didn't step out at all.”
Neera frowned, adding, “Think carefully again. Anything that feels off, you can tell me.”
Vanessa simply couldn't recall anything else.
However, she also knew that her allergy was too peculiar, so she racked her brains, trying to figure it out.
This time, she finally remembered something.
“If I had to pinpoint something unusual, there actually was one thing, Nancy. Do you remember the woman whocame to you for treatment the day before yesterday? I believe her name was Kyra Marks, wasn't it?”
Upon hearing that, Neera was slightly taken aback.
“Yes, what seems to be wrong with her?”
“Initially, I didn't feel anything was amiss. However, when you asked me earlier if I had come into contact withanything, it reminded me that the only person I interacted with that day was Kyra. At that time, she didn't have anappointment. I asked them to leave, but then Kyra pulled my hand, pleading earnestly.”
At that time, she didn't have an appointment. I asked them to leave, but then Lu Qiu pulled my hand, pleadingearnestly.
Having said all that, Vanessa noticed Neera's complexion growing increasingly worse and belatedly realized thesituation.
“Nancy, could it really be... that woman?”
Neera had a hunch about what was going on at that moment.
However, she wasn't entirely sure, so she didn't make any absolute statements.
“The situation isn't clear yet, and I'm not certain if it's related to her. However, I will investigate from here. Fornow, don't worry about anything else. Cooperate with the treatment here in the next few days. I will do my best todevelop the right medication to get you well soon.”
Vanessa nodded, then asked anxiously, “Nancy, this disease is contagious. I've even implicated you. What aboutJson? How is he now?”
Neera pursed her lips slightly, choosing to tell the truth.
“Even though he caught it from you, his physical condition is excellent. His symptoms are somewhat milder thanyours. He's currently being treated in the diagnosis and treatment room.”
Upon hearing that her boyfriend had also been infected, Vanessa felt her heart clenched in an instant, her face fullof self-reproach.
Seeing the situation, Neera softly reassured, “Don't overthink it. There's no such thing as dragging someonedown. This isn't your fault. Do you understand?”
“Mmm...”
Vanessa clutched the blanket with both hands, reluctantly nodding her head.
After Neera walked out, her face was shrouded in gloom, her eyes so dark they were so grim.
“Zephyr, come with me to the surveillance room.”
Zephyr was waiting in the corridor of the quarantine area. Upon hearing the words, he immediately followed.
Due to the presence of an unknown source of infection in this building, all those who had been screened andfound not to be infected, and those unrelated to the research, had already been arranged to leave.
At that moment, there was no one in the surveillance room. novelbin
Neera asked Zephyr, “Can you check the surveillance footage? Help me find the footage from the day beforeyesterday when Kyra came to the research center.”
Zephyr nodded, immediately carrying out his task with proficiency.
In the surveillance footage, just as Vanessa had described, Kyra was indeed tugging onto her forcefully, her facepleading as she spoke.
Seeing Neera's furrowed brows, Zephyr realized something and asked, “Ms. Garcia, do you think this woman ispretending?”
Neera nodded thoughtfully. “Her acting is too obvious. After all, she is an actress. And from what I know abouther, she is an extremely proud person. She considers herself superior to others. Although she is good at putting onan act, her behavior still reveals an air of superiority. She would never bring herself to beg so humbly like this.”
“Could it be possible that she thinks she has some kind of complicated disease, and that was why she was actingthis way?”
“Complicated disease, huh...”
Neera narrowed his eyes. “Do you think she looks like she's really sick?”
“Is she pretending?”
“Judging by her complexion, she did indeed look a bit pale. However, the tone of her speech was full of vitality,not at all like someone who was seriously ill...”
She told Zephyr to replay the surveillance footage twice, and her eyes fixated on the moment when the twoindividuals in the video made contact with their hands.
She wanted to see if Kyra had made any subtle moves.
However, in the end, she couldn't discern anything unusual.
Despite that, she still had her doubts. She suspected that this matter might be connected to Kyra in a significantway...
