After the call ended, Frederic saw that Wrenn had her head lowered, looking somewhat helpless. He put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her. “There, there. Don't be upset or sad. That's just how Jean is. You should be used 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. I remember that Kyra wasn't like that as a child. Why has she changed so much now? If I hadn't heard this from Jean, I wouldn't have believed she had done so many bad things behind my back. Now that I think about it, she was only pretending to be good and obedient in front of me. Some of the things she said were actually a deliberate attempt to make me dislike Neera. If that's not manipulation, then what is? How did I not realize that before?”
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 can never truly know someone'. If she had intended to hide her true self, how could you see through her? Learn from your mistakes. Don't meddle in the Marks family's affairs in the future. After all, we must also bear some responsibility for what happened. Moreover, Kyra is arrogant and proud. Deep down, she must think she's just as outstanding as Neera. That's why she's so stubborn and went astray. Regardless, if Jean doesn't like her, that's just the way it is. There's no forcing it. It wasn't right for you to insist on him divorcing Neera and constantly trying to set him up with Kyra. Come to think of it, we really didn't trust Jean enough. How could we forget that he has such 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 that sort of family background and past, it's true I looked down on Neera a little. When I later learned about her three children, 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 than enough 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 made me 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 medicine and pay the price for her actions!
Just then, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted inside the laboratory.
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 finally managed to make the medicine!”
Jean's spirits lifted, and he instinctively shifted his gaze toward Neera. The moment his eyes met hers, he felt a weight lift off his shoulders, and a smile tugged at his lips. That was the most delightful news he had heard in a while!
Eugene was also quite pleased. Nonetheless, he still cautioned the others in advance, saying, “Modernizing ancient 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 no time to lose. Inject me with it first.”
Her words instantly dampened the lively atmosphere. Everyone present looked at her worriedly, and Eugene flatly refused. “No, that's not safe. We still don't know if the medicine has any side effects. Injecting it recklessly is just too 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 to medicine 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?”
