Avery couldn't help but laugh as he observed Neera's admiration of the medicinal materials. “It seems you really like them. All the effort I put into finding them feels worthwhile now.”
Blushing slightly, Neera carefully closed the lids of each brocade box. “I won't deny it; I really need these medicinal materials.”
Avery was more than willing to provide what she needed, and his only concern was her refusal. He responded promptly, “It looks like my efforts have paid off. If you like them, take them all. After all, I've collected them specifically for you. They're of no use to me.”
However, Neera hesitated to accept everything as it was. “There's no need for so much. These medicinal ingredients are extremely valuable. If I could take just one or two types, I'd be very grateful.”
“No matter how valuable these medicinal herbs are, they can't compare to the help you've given me. You've been treating me and going out of your way without ever asking for treatment fees. Consider these gifts as a small token of my gratitude. You don't need to take it to heart; don't be so formal with me. Please accept them,” Avery insisted.
Although Neera felt that something wasn't quite right, Avery was insistent, and she reluctantly accepted all the medicinal herbs, saying, “Thank you very much.”
Avery smiled warmly. “No need for formalities; we're practically family now. I'll be counting on your care and support in the future.”
On the surface, their conversation seemed ordinary, but Neera had a lingering suspicion that there was a deeper meaning behind Avery's words.
However, since he chose not to clarify further, she decided to play along, pretending not to notice any underlying intentions. She wouldn't be the one to talk things out.
After taking stock of the medicinal herbs, she realized it was getting late and decided to take her leave.
“Please take good care of yourself. Even though your condition has improved significantly, your chest injury hasn't fully healed. Rest and avoid strenuous activities for too long.”
Avery acknowledged her advice with a nod. He was indeed feeling exhausted and knew he couldn't push himself much further. Neera's words resonated with his own thoughts.
“You should head home now. I'll have my driver take you. We'll meet again another day,” he said.
“All right, until next time.”
Shortly afterward, Neera arrived home.
Chad was in the living room, engrossed in watching financial news, and he noticed her return. Concerned, he inquired, “How is Avery doing now?”
Neera relayed the truth, and Chad found relief in the news. “That's wonderful. Your medical skills are remarkable. With your treatment, Avery's health should be in good hands.”
Adriana, upon seeing the brocade boxes brought in by Ulric, couldn't contain her curiosity. She asked, “What are all these?”
“They're all medicinal materials.” Neera smiled.
“Medicinal materials? Where did they come from? And why are there so many?”
“Avery, to show his gratitude, helped me find some rare medicinal herbs, including 'June Snow',” Neera shared with excitement. However, she held back some words that almost escaped her lips.
Adriana, not familiar with these medicinal herbs, asked, “What's so special about June Snow?”
Neera's smile wavered slightly as she replied, “Oh, it's nothing. Just that it's very precious and quite rare.”
“I see.” Adriana nodded. “Avery is indeed considerate.”
However, the triplets, overhearing the conversation, were filled with concern. Mommy and Daddy just had a fight, and now Mr. Cox is sending gifts. Could he be taking advantage of the situation?
The children were growing increasingly worried, but they hesitated to contact their father directly, fearing it might upset their mother.
Harvey, displaying quick thinking, came up with a plan. “Let's send a message to Godmother!”
Sammy was initially puzzled but quickly caught on, his eyes lighting up. “Yes, that's a great idea!”
Isabella soon received a flood of WhatsApp messages from the triplets.
Godmother, Mr. Cox gave Mommy a gift today. It seems like he's interested in her and wants to pursue her. What should we do? We're really worried.
Mommy and Daddy are still at odds with each other, and we can't remind Daddy about it. It's so distressing.
It seems like Mr. Cox is making a strong move. What if he takes advantage of the situation? Will we end up changing fathers?
Should we let Daddy know about this? If he doesn't come to reconcile with Mommy soon, will he really miss his chance...
The messages, both overt and subtle, hinted at Isabella, urging her to convey the message to Jean. Upon seeing this, Isabella didn't hesitate and immediately sent a screenshot of the messages to the triplets' father.
After he read the messages, Jean's expression darkened significantly. He lit two cigarettes one after the other, struggling to contain his inner turmoil, jealousy, and displeasure.
Taking a deep breath, he pushed aside his personal emotions and threw himself into his work. That night, he decided to stay in the office, with only one goal in mind: to resolve this situation quickly and rush to Essley to win his wife back!
