When she left the research room, she was on cloud nine. Her steps were light, and all her fatigue was swept away.

Avery had come again, and he was sipping coffee in the living room.

Seeing her coming down the stairs, he put down his coffee and teased, “You haven’t come out for three days. I thought you were planning to live in there permanently.”

Neera didn’t expect to see him there. Her light footsteps paused for a moment, then became more steady.

Avery took it. “What is this? Medicine?”

“Indeed,” Neera nodded. “A couple of days ago, I visited the Medicina family’s medical clinic and gathered some herbs. I’ve just finished preparing them. They can help you recuperate and speed up your recovery.”

Logically speaking, Avery was supposed to be happy knowing that she cared about him.

However, at that moment, he just couldn’t bring himself to feel happy.

He knew Neera was distancing herself from her. He didn’t want her to do that, so he chose to play dumb, not exposing the truth.
