Chapter 902 Planning To Tell The Truth?
"Great! This is the medicine tablet, you’ll only need to take one a day," Cindy explained confidently. "Depending on how your body reacts, it could accelerate your recovery significantly. Dr. Zigheart, along with a nutritionist, also arranged a personalized diet plan to support your healing. Based on his evaluation, your bones could start recovering within a month. And if you stick to the full treatment plan, it might even be sooner."
Cindy’s tone carried quiet assurance. She trusted Dr. Zigheart; he wasn’t the type to exaggerate. If he said a month, he meant it. And considering the diet plan included rare and valuable herbs, like century-old ginseng and others worth millions, there was every reason to believe in a full and rapid recovery. After all, while bones are notoriously slow to heal, the combination of cutting-edge medicine and a powerful diet meant Hera had nothing to worry about.
Even Xavier was stunned by what he heard. He had expected Hera’s recovery might be sped up by a week at most, but healing in four weeks? That felt unreal, almost like a joke. He didn’t know whether to be happy or deeply concerned. The idea of Hera walking, or worse, running, after just a month worried him. What if the tissues around her injuries weren’t fully healed? What if pushing too soon only made things worse? He didn’t want to gamble with her health.
But then he saw Hera nodding with quiet trust, and he bit back his doubts.
This was her body, and she clearly trusted Cindy and Dr. Zigheart. Who was he to object? Especially when Dr. Zigheart wasn’t just some outsider, he was someone Hera had personally recruited, just like Sasha. And Cindy? She wasn’t just an aide. She had grown up around the Avery family; her family had served Hera’s for generations. These weren’t strangers to Hera. They were her people.
Just like others, Xavier didn’t know much about them, and that they were the ones she trusted with her life, that’s why he was worried, but he still stayed silent.
Aside from investing all her money into various ventures, Hera had used her initial bucket of gold to support Dr. Zigheart’s early research. It was a gamble, but one she believed in. Eventually, her grandfather took notice, not just of Dr. Zigheart’s groundbreaking discoveries, but of Hera’s belief in his potential.
Impressed by both, he began personally sponsoring the doctor’s work, even going so far as to build him a state-of-the-art lab overseas. Dr. Zigheart was appointed as the lead technician and head physician on several high-level projects. But none of that would have happened without Hera taking the first step. She gave him his break, and for that, Dr. Zigheart was unwaveringly loyal.
Their lab was also tied to the Avery family’s extensive network of charitable initiatives, providing free medical aid to the underprivileged. Thanks to those programs, they never lacked willing volunteers for clinical trials.
Still, Cindy struggled to come up with a plausible reason for her sudden appearance, fully prepared with Hera’s recovery plan and specialized diet. Thankfully, everyone in the room was tactful enough not to press her on the inconsistency.
