Vera Xavier, who was nearby, simply pursed her lips into a smile when she overheard the conversation between her grandma and Grandma Dixon. 'The medicine hasn't taken full effect yet, so it's normal for them to be skeptical. After all, in their eyes, I'm still just a child.'
Because Vera Xavier had earned the top score in the province on her college entrance exam and been accepted into Veridia University, the house had been bustling with visitors for the past few days. Some came to see Zachary Preston, while others sought out Vera to ask for study tips.
When they saw the medicinal pills drying in the courtyard, they would always ask a few questions before laughing it off. Not a single person believed Vera's medicine could cure Zachary Preston's illness. Of course, they wouldn't say much in front of the Preston Family, but they would sneak in a few jeers once their backs were turned.
