My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713 

As soon as Nash got out of the car, Hera pounced on him. Nash hugged Hera and jokingly asked, “You didn’t go square dancing, did 

you?” 

Hera gave Nash a playful look and replied, “I’d never square dance. I went to play chess!” She then pulled out a few crumpled ten-dollar bills from her pocket. She flashed her teeth proudly as she said, “See, 

I won 60 bucks!” 

Nash could not help but chuckle. “You can bet money on chess?” 

Hera giggled and said, “They won’t play with you if no money is 

involved.” 

Suddenly, a burly man dressed in a security uniform approached them with a gift box in hand. “Mr. Calcraft, there’s an elderly man named Lucius outside. He asked me to give you this box.” 

It was the Coiled Dragon Flower sent by the owner of People’s 

Pharmacy. 

Nash took the box and opened it. A faint fragrance wafted out. Inside was a withered light purple flower. There was a price tag inside the 

box-3.48 million. 

The owner of the pharmacy wanted him to remember this favor he 

did for him. 

“3.48 million?” 

“What… What kind of flower is this?” Hera stared at the flower in the 

box in astonishment. Even a hundred-year-old wild ginseng would not 

cost this much, right? 

“This is called the Coiled Dragon Flower. It grows by absorbing 

Celestial Spirit Energy as well as cosmic essence. It’s extremely rare,” Nash explained with a smile. 

Hera pouted. “Indeed, the world of martial artists is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like us!” 

Nash held Hera’s hand, and they walked toward the villa. “If you don’t understand, you can always ask me… I’m sure I can explain 

everything,” he offered gently. 

Delighted, Hera hugged Nash’s arm and asked, “When will you teach 

me martial arts?” 

“Let me teach you a set of Dual Cultivation Heart Teachings another 

day.” 

“Is it powerful?” 

“It’s powerful, but…” 

“But what?” 

“But you can only practice it when I’m around.” 

“Why?” 

“I’ll explain it to you later when the time comes.” 

The two entered the living room. Maria was feeding medicine to 

Melody. 

Hera let go of Nash’s arm and went over, asking, “Is Melody awake?”

Maria nodded. “Yes, she just woke up not long ago.” 

Hera took the medicine bowl from Maria’s hands and softly said, “Let 

me do it.” 

Melody was wrapped up like a mummy, with only her nose and eyes exposed to allow her to breathe and see. Upon hearing Hera’s voice, Melody asked hoarsely, “Where’s your man?” 

Nash stepped forward and asked, “I’m here. Are you in pain?” 

Voice thin as a thread, she started, “My… My cultivation…” 

She could not sense any true energy in her body. During the confrontation with Boris, most of Boris’ attacks had struck her energy 

centers. 

When she attempted suicide later, she realized they were severely damaged. She was worried that they were now ruined because she 

could not sense any true energy. 

“I sealed your cultivation temporarily. I’ll lift the seal when your injuries are almost healed,” Nash said. Worried that Melody might do something foolish, he sealed her energy centers with the Divine 

Needles. 

If she continued to use true energy while her energy centers were damaged, it would only lead to their complete collapse. 

Melody nodded in understanding and took a sip of the medicine that 

Hera fed her. 

“Take care of Melody. I need to go to the underground alchemy room!”
