Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 235

He had heard she had been lost in the countryside and endured a great deal of hardship.

Yet, even in that environment, she hadn't given up on herself and had managed to become so exceptional.

Besides the Lancaster family's excellent genes, it was mostly due to her own hard work.

He truly liked a girl as beautiful and diligent as this.

Moreover, the girl's eyes...

They were so clear and pure.

She had a completely different feel from Isabella.

"It was nothing," Serena said with a small smile. "You don't have to thank me, Mr. Blackwood."

As she spoke, she held her hand out to Nicholas.

Without a word, Nicholas handed her the canvas tote bag he had slung over his shoulder.

The gesture was entirely natural.

Serena took it, opened the bag, and pulled out a small, plain porcelain vial.

"Mr. Blackwood," she said, offering the vial to him. "A small gift for my first visit."

"These are pills I prepared myself. One a day with warm water will help strengthen your body and improve your health."

Her voice was calm and steady, very pleasant to hear.

She frowned, giving Serena a critical head-to-toe look. "You must be that country girl the Lancasters brought back, right? What are these junk pills? If something happens to Grandfather after taking them, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Karen?" Old Mr. Blackwood frowned at her. "Why are you still here?"

"If I weren't here, Grandfather, you would have been tricked by this woman!" Karen shot Serena a look of disgust. "She's a girl from the country. What does she know besides cutting grass and tilling fields?"

"Grandfather, you can't be so desperate for a cure that you'll take medicine from just anyone! Look at Isabella. She personally brewed a restorative soup for you, using the EverVita Essence she went to great lengths to acquire, winning it at auction for an astronomical price!"

As Karen spoke, she pushed Isabella in front of Old Mr. Blackwood. "That EverVita Essence was developed by the Ghost Doctor himself. It's incredibly nourishing! It's much better than some unlabeled junk from a country girl!"

She deliberately emphasized the auction and the "Ghost Doctor" to highlight how precious and extraordinary the soup was.

Isabella immediately played along, holding up the thermos with a demure and aggrieved expression. "Mr. Blackwood, this is just a small token of my regard... It's just, it might have been sitting for a while, so it's not as fresh, but... but the medicinal properties should still be effective."
