The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1019

After Jean had gone to sleep, Neera washed his face, changed his clothes, and returned to the laboratory to immerse herself in her research.

The dark sky gradually brightened as the sun began to rise.

By the time the day was fully bright, the data was finally sorted out again.

The ingredients for the formula had finally been successfully developed.

At that point, the team members had all returned to their posts. Together, they weathered the storm and overcame the difficulties. Their hearts were filled with joy, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In no time, Isabella arrived, bringing with her a heap of breakfast.

Neera chuckled, helping her to set it down. “You look like a food delivery girl.”

Isabella was displeased. “Have you ever seen such a beautiful food delivery girl? I am clearly a fairy!”

While Isabella was speaking, she called everyone from the team over. “Thank you, everyone. This breakfast is a small token of my appreciation. It seems like you've been busy all night. Please eat and take some time to rest. I can't thank you enough for all the effort you've put in for my grandfather.”

Everyone received their breakfast, all smiling as they said, “No worries.”

Afterward, Isabella and Neera went to the office.

Upon hearing about the incident from the day before, Isabella wore an expression of apology. “I feel really bad for making things so hard for you. You came back to the country to rest, and yet here you are, worrying because of me, staying up all night for my sake. I feel quite guilty about it, and I'm not even sure how to properly thank you...”

“There's no need for you to be so formal. If you keep on like this, I'm going to get upset.” Neera took a bite of the mini croissant and handed one to Isabella.

Isabella laughed helplessly.

“By the way, how are things going at the hospital? Have you managed to handle everything?” Neera asked.

“It's all good now. Although it was a bit tricky at the start, it's mostly taken care of now.” Isabella was a decisive and efficient person. After Alvin was caught, she returned to the hospital the very next day, immediately exposing the crimes of her uncle, Harris, and Alvin.

At first, Harris tried to use his seniority to his advantage, biting back at her and accusing her of deliberate defamation.

However, what he didn't know was that Isabella had evidence in her hands. With a few swift moves, she presented it, leaving him speechless.

“This incident caused quite a stir within our family, as the evidence was irrefutable. The family elders directly dismissed my third uncle and Alvin from their positions, even reclaiming their shares, and entrusted me with the management of the hospital again. As for the previous damage to my reputation, I've explained it to the patient. Fortunately, although the family was quite upset before, they were reasonable people. After viewing the surveillance footage and evidence, they didn't say anything more. They forgave me, even apologized to me, saying that they had misunderstood me before and caused me harm,” Isabella answered.

It was truly a happy ending.

Neera was quite happy for Isabella. “Well done, Director Lopez, you've managed to sort things out so quickly. You're quite impressive.”

Isabella smiled faintly. “Stop praising me. I owe it all to you. Without your help, I would have nothing. So, thank you.”

After she finished speaking, she hugged Neera and playfully mumbled, “Neera, how can you be so wonderful? You're beautiful, kind-hearted, and capable. If I were a man, I would definitely do everything in my power to marry you!”

Coincidentally, Jean overheard the conversation as he came out of the lounge. Someone is trying to undermine me so early in the morning! Even if it's a woman, it doesn't make me feel any better.

Immediately, he strode over in a few large steps, pulling Neera into his arms as if declaring his territory. He looked at Isabella with a half-smile and said, “Ms. Lopez, don't you think your words were a bit inappropriate just now? Neera is already my fiancée, in this life and the next. I'm afraid you might not have a chance anymore.”

Isabella was speechless. What? Is he serious? Does he get jealous so easily?

“Um... I'm a girl. Are you jealous?” Isabella queried.

Jean raised an eyebrow. “Yes. So, Ms. Lopez, please be mindful of your words in the future.”

Isabella was left speechless.

Neera couldn't help but chuckle. “He's just joking with you. Don't mind him.”

“Sure. I don't mind...” Isabella pouted and grumbled inwardly. I doubt he was joking!

Neera glanced at the time and smiled. “Let's have breakfast first. Otherwise, it'll get cold.”

Jean nodded, sat down, and asked, “How is the progress?”

When Neera heard that, her eyes lit up. “There's been a breakthrough. Staying up all night was worth it!”

Jean was happy for her. “That's good. Go rest after you finish eating.”

“Well...” Neera hesitated, not giving a response, wanting to continue her research.

The frown on Jean's face was already evident, his eyes clearly harboring a layer of displeasure.

Neera had no choice but to compromise. “All right. Understood. I'll take a short nap.”

After she finished speaking, she coaxed with a playful smile, “All right, I've agreed, so don't be angry anymore. I don't like it when you're upset. I prefer it when you smile.”
