Neera felt that it was somewhat inappropriate. “Ms. Amanda, I know you're fond of Penny. I'm already grateful for your willingness to teach her. If you refuse to accept any payment, I would really feel quite uncomfortable.”
It was clear that Amanda had made up her mind. She affectionately held Neera's hand and said, “Ms. Garcia, please don't be formal with me. Having the opportunity to meet an exceptional child like Penny is my good fortune. I genuinely want to nurture her, and I don't care about material things. If we continue to talk about this, it will create unnecessary distance between us.”
Upon hearing that, Neera hesitated for a moment, sighing inwardly. She then lowered her head to look at Penny.
The little girl was very receptive, immediately calling out sweetly, “Ms. Amanda, from this day forward, I am your apprentice, and I will not let down your careful cultivation!”
Amanda was overjoyed. She squatted down happily and planted a kiss on her cheek. “Good child! From now on, follow me lead and learn diligently. With your talent, you're sure to become the most outstanding dancer in the future!”
After finalizing the arrangements for the dance lessons, it was almost noon.
Amanda had made up her mind about something she had been pondering, insisting on inviting Neera to have a meal together, no matter what.
Neera found it difficult to decline warm hospitality and didn't make any excuses. She agreed readily and straightforwardly.
Lunch went very smoothly. After some thought, Amanda took the initiative to make a suggestion.
“In the afternoon, let Penny follow me. I will make a detailed training plan specifically tailored to her situation.”
Neera didn't refuse. “All right. Since Penny is now your apprentice, you naturally have the say in her dance training. Let her follow you, then.”
After she finished speaking, she turned to Penny, gently reminding her, “You must behave and listen to Ms. Amanda. Don't cause any trouble for her, understand?”
“All right.” Penny nodded obediently, her voice soft and cute. “I'll behave. Don't worry, Mommy.”
With a smile, Neera said, “Ms. Amanda, I'm entrusting Penny to your care.”
“All right, Ms. Garcia. You can rest assured. We will be seeing each other often in the future, so there's no need for such formality. Just call me Amanda.”
Neera nodded with a smile. “All right.”
After lunch, Neera chose to leave directly for the Cox residence.
Avery had been resting for a month, and the wound on his chest had already healed by about sixty to seventy percent.
After the inspection, the two elders asked with deep concern, “Ms. Garcia, when can the wug in Mr. Cox's body be cured?”
Neera took off her sterile gloves and said, “His condition has greatly improved now. I plan to start the treatment tomorrow to cure the wug inside his body.”
After a long wait, the good news finally arrived, invigorating the two elders. However, they still harbored some worries.
“Um... Ms. Garcia, will there be any dangers during the treatment process?”
Neera answered truthfully, “There's no danger to his life. After all, we've been preparing for this for a long time, and I've already developed the necessary medicine. However, the wug pest has been in his body for too long. It's certain to have worn down his physical condition. However, there's no need for you to worry too much. Once the wug pests are removed, he'll be fine. Your family has so many precious medicinal materials. Gather more that can replenish energy and blood. Later, I'll prepare a list of Medicated Diets for you to nourish his body. Stick to it, and he should be fully recovered within a year.”
Upon hearing that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“That's great! That's great, Ms. Garcia. You truly are a miracle doctor!”
Neera preferred to be modest. “You flatter me. It was merely a simple task. I'm just fulfilling my duty as a doctor.”
Afterward, she turned to Avery and said, “Take a good rest today, rejuvenate your spirit, and prepare for tomorrow's treatment. I'll be heading back now.”
Avery nodded. Since his health had improved and he could move around freely, he took the opportunity to suggest, “Let me send you.”
Neera declined and said, “No need. I can go back on my own.”
However, Avery insisted, “It's not just about giving you a ride. I've been lying at home for too long, and I want to get out and move around. This is a good opportunity to personally thank Mr. Gordon. After all, he has helped me a lot before and even invited you over to treat me. Moreover, I have some matters to discuss with him about Phison. It's better to do it sooner rather than later.”
Hearing that, Neera found herself at a loss for words and could only agree.
