Chapter 950
After the call ended, Frederic saw that Wrenn had her head lowered, looking somewhat helpless. He put his armaround her shoulders to comfort her. “There, there. Don't be upset or sad. That's just how Jean is. You should beused to it by now.”
She shook her head and sighed, overwhelmed by a mix of emotions. “I'm not mad at him but just a bit surprised. Iremember that Kyra wasn't like that as a child. Why has she changed so much now? If I hadn't heard this fromJean, I wouldn't have believed she had done so many bad things behind my back. Now that I think about it, shewas only pretending to be good and obedient in front of me. Some of the things she said were actually adeliberate attempt to make me dislike Neera. If that's not manipulation, then what is? How did I not realize thatbefore?”
The trust she had in Kyra was now replaced by equal amounts of disappointment.
Frederic understood her feelings and comforted her in a gentle and soothing voice. “As the saying goes, 'You cannever truly know someone'. If she had intended to hide her true self, how could you see through her? Learn fromyour mistakes. Don't meddle in the Marks family's affairs in the future. After all, we must also bear someresponsibility for what happened. Moreover, Kyra is arrogant and proud. Deep down, she must think she's just asoutstanding as Neera. That's why she's so stubborn and went astray. Regardless, if Jean doesn't like her, that's justthe way it is. There's no forcing it. It wasn't right for you to insist on him divorcing Neera and constantly trying toset him up with Kyra. Come to think of it, we really didn't trust Jean enough. How could we forget that he hassuch high standards? Whoever that could make him willingly fall for her must be an exceptional person.”
Filled with regret, Wrenn was at a loss for words. The Garcia family was a complete mess back then. With thatsort of family background and past, it's true I looked down on Neera a little. When I later learned about her threechildren, it was even more difficult for me to accept her. Who would've thought that fate makes fools of us all?Not only is Neera outstanding in her own right, but her current background and societal standing are more thanenough to put her on par with the Beauvorts, not to mention her future status in the medical profession. I despised
her due to the scandal she was involved in a few years ago. As it turned out, my own son was the one who mademe distressed. I honestly don't know whether to call this fate or a cursed destiny...
As that thought crossed her mind, she sighed again, and her emotions grew even more complicated.
Over in Essley, Jean wore a grim expression long after he had hung up the phone. When I think of what Kyra did,I wish I could make her disappear instantly. I'm determined to make that woman have a taste of her own medicineand pay the price for her actions!
Just then, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted inside the laboratory. novelbin
He rushed over immediately, only to be greeted by the radiant smiles of a few people inside.
Osbert was particularly excited and was practically jumping up and down, overjoyed. When he saw Jean arrive,he quickly shared the good news without waiting for the latter to ask what was going on. “Jean, we've finallymanaged to make the medicine!”
Jean's spirits lifted, and he instinctively shifted his gaze toward Neera. The moment his eyes met hers, he felt aweight lift off his shoulders, and a smile tugged at his lips. That was the most delightful news he had heard in awhile!
Eugene was also quite pleased. Nonetheless, he still cautioned the others in advance, saying, “Modernizingancient prescriptions is a massive undertaking indeed. It was incredibly challenging to get the formulation right,but we still don't know its effectiveness for now.”
On the contrary, Neera was very confident. “There should be no problems. I've been in touch with Mr. Saunders.He, too, thinks it's feasible. Moreover, we haven't encountered any hiccups in any of the steps, so I don't expect
any issues.”
Then, she took the initiative to make a suggestion. “However, this medicine still needs to be tested. There's notime to lose. Inject me with it first.”
Her words instantly dampened the lively atmosphere. Everyone present looked at her worriedly, and Eugene flatlyrefused. “No, that's not safe. We still don't know if the medicine has any side effects. Injecting it recklessly is justtoo risky.”
“Let's start by experimenting on small animals first,” Jean quickly chimed in.
However, she shook her head. “At the end of the day, animals and humans are different. Their tolerance level tomedicine also varies. You guys don't have to worry. I believe in the wisdom of the ancients, and I'm confident.Besides, we can't always let others be the test subjects, can we?”
