Chapter 967 Fall
After hearing this, the two elders finally understood what had happened.
Seeing the pool of black blood on the ground, they realized the gravity of the situation. A chill of fear
ran through them, and they looked at the head of their family with deep concern.
Violet fell silent, too. The harshness from her earlier interrogation had vanished.
She crouched down, pulled out a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the corners of Avery’s mouth
clean.
In the past few days, everyone was quite upset about Charles betraying his master and the Cox family.
Although no one voiced it out, everyone was actually feeling upset. As a result, they all overlooked
Avery’s condition.
If it weren’t for Neera coming over that day, noticing something was off, and taking timely action, the
consequences would have been unimaginable.
For a moment, everyone’s feelings were a mix of heaviness and complexity. novelbin
Although Neera was somewhat angry, considering the impact this matter would have on Avery, she still
sighed.
She took a bottle of medicine from the medicine box and handed it to the attending physician.
“This is a new pill I’ve prepared, made from an ancient prescription. It’s quite potent, capable of calming
the mind and healing internal injuries. It will help him find tranquility. Administer it to him after each
meal, three times a day.”
The attending physician nodded, taking it and repeatedly expressing his thanks.
Neera waved her hand, tidied up the medicine box, and didn’t say anything.
Avery watched her as she bowed her head, busying herself with packing. He regained his senses and
thought she was about to leave. Abruptly, he leaned halfway out, grabbing hold of Neera’s arm. “Don’t
leave just yet!”
Neera was taken aback, seemingly unaccustomed to his touch and instinctively wanting to break free.
However, before she had a chance to act, he heard Avery’s somewhat restrained confession. “Don’t be
upset. I will follow the doctor’s advice closely. I won’t dwell on this matter anymore, nor will I let it affect
my mood. It’s somewhat embarrassing to admit, but in my current position, such a trivial matter
shouldn’t have affected me. Yet, I lost my composure this time. I apologize for making a fool of myself
in front of you.”
He spoke those words quickly and urgently, and his tone was laced with an inexplicable tension.
It was as if he was afraid that if he spoke a bit slower, she would just walk away.

Neera didn’t overthink it. Meeting his apologetic gaze, she pondered for a moment, then responded
calmly and composedly, “When it comes to the life and death of your biological parents, it’s only natural
that you would care so deeply. I understand that. In fact, if I put myself in your shoes, I might not be
able to remain calm either. I apologize for my attitude earlier. However, I must advise you that there’s
no need to rush now. Revenge is a dish best served cold. You must first take care of your health, and
only then can you accomplish what you want to do. It’s great that you’ve come to understand this. At
the very least, it would mean that my medicine and treatment haven’t been wasted.”
After she finished speaking, she smiled at him. Then, very naturally, she lowered his hand and placed it
back on the bed. “Take good care of yourself, take your medicine on time, continue to rest and recover.
I’ll come to see you again in a couple of days.”
The warmth in her palm faded away, and Avery felt as if something had slipped away from the depths
of his heart, a sense of loss welling up within him.
He stared, transfixed, at her smiling face.
Under the light, it was so pure and stunningly beautiful.
He understood that her politeness and aloofness were nothing more than her treating him as a friend.
The idea of their union, to her, might just be nothing more than nonsense.
But at that moment, he had completely fallen for her.
Neera did not know what he was thinking. After leaving the Cox residence, seeing that it was still early,
she sent a message to Jean and then went to the research center with Zephyr.
Even though she told everyone to take a few days off to rest, everyone still came to work after getting a
good night’s sleep.
Seeing that everyone was fine and Venessa had fully recovered, she finally felt at ease.
After briefly outlining the upcoming tasks, she returned to her office. As per her routine, she switched
on her computer to check if there were any emails.
After dealing with two pieces of important content, she scrolled down with her mouse, only then
noticing the message sent by King.
She clicked on it out of curiosity, and after just a few glances, she was completely taken aback. This
is…
She furrowed her brows at once as she meticulously scanned through the email, her expression
growing increasingly solemn.
King might not fully understand the content, but she fully grasped its meaning.
All of those were ancient prescriptions for forbidden medicines!
Every prescription was harmful!
