Chapter 903 Recovery Plan
But if Hera had truly decided to come clean now, then it could only mean one thing: their hard work had finally paid off. As thrilled as Xavier was, he knew better than to show it. If Hera found out that he had already noticed, she might feel guilty or uncomfortable. So, as the brilliant actor he was, he played his part perfectly, feigning ignorance, keeping his expression neutral, and focusing on the tablet in his hands.
He scanned the diet plan, his brows subtly furrowing as he noted the composition and the list of herbs. Just one soup alone contained a dozen different herbs. In fact, nearly 90% of each meal included medicinal herbs, with only minimal amounts of meat and vegetables. A concern tugged at him: ’Would Hera now be forced to eat bland, earthy, overly herby meals every day?’
Worse still, he recognized that these weren’t ordinary herbs, each one likely worth hundreds of thousands, if not millions. While a few kilograms could stretch across several dishes, the cost and care required were staggering. Even without deep knowledge of herbal medicine, Xavier could tell that many of the ingredients served a similar purpose, likely aimed at improving blood circulation and stimulating tissue repair, all designed to support Hera’s recovery.
So, Xavier snapped a photo of the meal plan and sent it to Zhane. As expected, Zhane, who was still tending to Leo, who remained listlessly staring at the ceiling, received the screenshot almost immediately.
His eyes scanned the list, quickly recognizing the composition of herbs. It didn’t take him long to realize that not only were the ingredients compatible, but together they formed a potent combination to accelerate the body’s healing process.
Zhane replied with a simple thumbs-up emoji.
And yet, that small gesture was more than enough to ease Xavier’s worries. If Zhane, an expert in both Western medicine and medicinal herbs, gave his silent approval, then these herbs were definitely the real deal.
With his concern somewhat alleviated, Xavier turned his attention to logistics. Since his connections in Paris were limited, he grabbed Alexandre the moment he had the chance, right while Hera and Cindy were happily chatting inside. He pulled him aside and out the door with purpose.
Alexandre blinked in surprise, brows raised as he followed Xavier’s lead. Standing beside him like a tall pine, hands tucked casually in his pockets, he asked, "What’s up?"
Xavier, not bothering with pleasantries, pushed the tablet into Alexandre’s hands. "These are the herbs Hera needs for her meals, part of her recovery diet. My reach here is limited, and we need to start preparing her food soon. So I figured, since you’re the crowned prince of Paris, you might have the connections to get all of these quickly. If you can’t—"
Before he could finish, Alexandre cut him off.
"Consider it done," Alexandre said, turning smoothly as he fished his phone from his pocket. Xavier smirked like a smug cat that had just caught its fish, satisfied with how easily things were falling into place. Alexandre quickly called his assistant and sent over the list of herbs.
