PopularNovelEverly suppressed her uneasiness and pretended like nothing was wrong. She asked with a smile, "Hera, are we having a
meeting?"
Hera cast her a blank look before looking down to continue playing Candy Crush. She asked right away, "What happened with the
formula for Emily's medicine?"
"I prepared it according to the formula given by Isla. Then, | handed the ingredients to Sarah so that she could prepare the
medicine at noon. Is something wrong?" Everly pretended to be surprised.
"Emily almost went into shock due to her allergies to dandelion root," Isla explained.
Everly let out a yelp. "How could that have happened?"
Hera glanced at her. "How many formulas do you have on hand?"
Everly gulped before calmly answering, "I only saw one formula since Isla didn't tellanything. Is the patient's condition critical?
If I had known that she was allergic to dandelion root, | never would have included it!"
She remembered that there were no surveillance cameras here. So, she was betting on the fact that Hera would believe her more
than she did Isla.
After all, Everly and Hera had known each other for more than ten years. Based on Everly's understanding of Hera, her chances
were better than Isla's.

the matter and even cast the blon her.
"How could you lie about that, Everly? | clearly gave you the new formula!" Isla exclaimed while hurriedly walking toward the door.
"I handed it to you right here. At that time, you even said that you were about to head to the washroom."
"The washroom here is working fine. Why would | go out to use the washroom?" Everly asked innocently.
She then advised Isla, "I've been learning how to prepare medicinal ingredients from Mrs. Jones for the past seven to eight years
and never made any mistakes. Hera and Wayne can bear witness to this.
"Did you get busy and ot all about it? Are you not admitting to it because you're afraid Hera will punish you?
"Don't be scared. As long as you're willing to learn from your mistakes, Hera will ive you. Besides, isn't the patient fine now?
Just avoid making similar mistakes in the future."
Hera paused her gupon hearing Everly's explanation toward the end.
Wayne didn't understand much about medicine, but he often heard Catherine and Hera praise Everly for her brilliance. Thus,
Everly's words made sense to him.
Besides, she had also promised him that she would always be loyal to Hera. Hence, he nodded in agreement.
Isla really liked working here. The environment was good, and she was treated well. Since she could learn a lot here, she did not
wish to leave this place.
If she were to take the blame, getting fired would be the least of her worries. The real problem would be if Isla was able to find
another job in the future.
Who would want to hire a herbalist whom Hera had fired?
"Yes, | did see Islae here with the formula." Sarah stepped forward to give her statement.
Everly asked, "Then, why didn't | see the second formula—"
"How did you know that the patient is fine?" Hera interrupted Everly's attempts to defend herself.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Does the patient not being here mean that she's fine?" Hera coldly gazed at Everly.
Everly began to feel guilty as Hera stared at her. If this continued, she would definitely crack under pressure.
