Caleb nodded, making his way over, and directed a glance at Jean.

The latter appeared oblivious, his attention unwaveringly on the woman in the sickbed as he gripped her hand tightly, refusing to let go even for a moment. 

Observing this, Caleb couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. 

Clearing his throat, he took the initiative to break the silence. “Hello, Mr. Beauvort, we meet again. If it’s permissible, may I assist in assessing Ms. Neera’s condition?” 

Upon hearing Caleb’s voice, Jean finally shifted his gaze, lifting his head to meet his eyes. Jean’s expression was cold, his eyes bereft of any discernible emotion. 

He offered a slight nod and rose to his feet, indicating his tacit approval. 

Without uttering a word, Caleb promptly took a seat and began to assess Neera’s pulse. 

As the moments passed, his demeanor shifted to one of seriousness. 

Adriana, closely watching his face, couldn’t help but feel a surge of anxiety at the gravity reflected in his expression. 

As Caleb withdrew his hand, Adriana stepped forward, her concern evident in her inquiry. 

“Mr. Medicina, what exactly is wrong with my niece? Why is her fever persisting despite our efforts with IV fluids and physical cooling? If this fever persists, could it potentially result in permanent damage?” 

A fever could be mild or severe. A high fever that wouldn’t subside was certainly not a trivial matter. 

Caleb nodded solemnly, his tone far from optimistic. 

“Even for a person in good health, a prolonged high fever is concerning. Unfortunately, Ms. Neera’s condition is more intricate than most.” 

He paused, a momentary expression of sympathy crossing his face for Neera’s unfortunate circumstances. 

Adriana, sensing the weight of the situation, took two anxious steps forward, urging, “What exactly is afflicting her? Can you provide more details?” 

Caleb hesitated for a moment before delivering the disheartening news. “Ms. Neera’s persistent fever is a result of frost poison within her body.” 

The term “poison” made Adriana stagger, almost losing her balance. Her eyelids fluttered, and she nearly fainted. 

Chad reacted swiftly and reached out to support her with a startled expression. “Adriana? Adriana? Hang in there! Are you okay? Do you need to sit down and rest for a bit?” 

Adriana, holding her forehead with one hand, weakly shook her head. “I’m okay. Mr. Medicina, what exactly is this frost poison? Is it dangerous? Can Neera be cured?” Her voice trembled with a mixture of concern and desperation.

Caleb responded with candor, “Frost poison, in essence, is not classified as incurable. Ms. Neera’s immune system might be weak, and at the same time, she was exposed to an extremely cold environment. This disruption to her internal environment triggered the production of harmful hormones, culminating in frost poison.” 

Adriana, startled, quickly inquired, “How can it be treated?” 

Caleb explained, “The treatment isn’t overly complicated; it requires some exceptionally rare medicinal materials. Fortunately, our family has a longstanding history in medicine, and we possess a diverse collection of materials, including the rarest ones. I’ll return right away to see if we have the necessary medicinal ingredients. If feasible, I’ll prescribe the medicine for Ms. Neera as soon as possible. Meanwhile, your focus should be on continuing the cooling measures. Even if her temperature can’t be brought down entirely, the efforts must persist. Intravenous fluids and physical cooling will undoubtedly be somewhat effective.” 

After finishing his explanation, Caleb provided Adriana with details about several types of medicine and instructed her to prepare them. “Administer these medicines to Ms. Neera first. They should help maintain some stability in her bodily functions and protect her from the harm of high fever.” 

Tears immediately welled up in Adriana’s eyes when she heard that a solution was available. She nodded vigorously, expressing her gratitude. “Mr. Medicina, I can’t thank you enough. Please, feel free to use any medicine necessary, no matter the cost. If Neera can be cured, I will certainly come to express my gratitude in person and repay you in any way I can!” Her sincerity and relief were palpable in her words. 

Caleb waved his hand in a dismissive gesture. “You’re too kind. I have a good relationship with Mr. Shane of the Gordon family, and my interactions with Ms. Neera have always been harmonious. As a friend, it’s only natural for me to help.” 

Having said that, he didn’t linger. He promptly exited the hospital, heading back to prepare the necessary medicinal materials. 

Fortunately, with the Medicina family’s extensive resources, finding rare and precious medicinal materials was a task easily accomplished. 

As luck would have it, the two medicinal ingredients needed to cure frost poison were still available. Without delay, he secured them, skillfully blending them with other materials to craft the curative remedy. 

By the time the remedy was delivered to the hospital, four hours had elapsed.
