The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1090

Chandler let out a cry of pain, instinctively covering his hand.

Before he could react, he saw Violet suddenly put away her gun. She then swiftly rushed over and gave him a fierce kick.

Chandler's knee throbbed with pain, causing him to drop to his knees. Shards of glass pierced into his knee, causing an agonizing sting.

In the next moment, Violet's foot forcefully stomped on his shoulder. She felt like she could kill him, her voice filled with rage as she demanded, “What did you feed him? Speak!”

The two elders finally reacted, both shocked and angry. Their eyes were as sharp as knives, wishing they could tear the culprit into pieces. “Chandler, you must have the courage of a lion to dare betray Mr. Cox! Speak up now. What on earth is this?”

Chandler himself didn't know whether it was the pain he was feeling or if he was just too stubborn to admit it.

His face was ashen, and blood was gushing from his wound. Yet, he remained silent, not uttering a single word.

Neera didn't have time to interrogate him. She squatted down to pick up the shards of glass on the ground.

“Neera, be careful!” Osbert feared the medicine might be poisonous and quickly intervened. He pulled out a handkerchief, picked up a piece for her, and held it under his nose to smell. However, he couldn't identify what it was.

“Let me have a sniff.” Neera carefully took it, detecting a peculiar medicinal scent, but for a moment, she couldn't identify its components.

However, an ominous feeling began to surface in her heart.

She quickly rose to her feet, rushing forward to check on Charles' condition.

At that very moment, Charles was still wailing in agony, even more intensely than before, as if he was enduring unbearable, immense pain.

Neera looked at his throat, where he could clearly see that the mother wug within his vein was actually starting to burrow its way back.

Her face turned pale as she raised her voice and shouted, “This person is trying to stop us from saving Mr. Cox! He doesn't want the wug pest to be drawn out!”

Upon hearing that, the two elders were furious.

When they had previously apprehended Charles, they had already thoroughly investigated all members of the Cox family.

They thought that aside from Charles, there were no more hidden dangers. Yet, it seemed they had overlooked something.

No one expected that the person who slipped through the net would actually be in such a crucial position within the medical team.

At that moment, Violet's innocent face has transformed into a bloodthirsty witch.

A murderous intent surfaced in her eyes, the corners of which were tinged with a bloody red. Once again, she pulled out her gun and fired several shots at Chandler's limbs.

One scream after another poured out of Chandler's mouth.

Luigi and Osbert had never seen such a spectacle before. They were both stunned, staring blankly at the fierce-looking little girl in front of them. This girl is way too terrifying! Despite appearing to be an innocent young girl, she carries a gun with her. When she fires it, she doesn't even blink an eye! Who on earth is she?

In the corridor outside the treatment room, Chad and his companions, who were anxiously waiting, also heard the commotion inside.

Chad immediately realized that something was amiss. He asked Adriana to stay outside while he and Irwin rushed in.

Chad's expression turned grave when he saw the situation inside. He immediately ordered, “Irwin, take the people away first. Don't interfere with Neera's treatment process.”

Irwin accepted the order and carried it out accordingly.

The two elders were livid, wishing they could immediately tear that traitor into a thousand pieces. They almost fought him when Violet attacked him.

Fortunately, Chad stepped in just in time to handle the situation, preventing them from losing their temper.

Neera couldn't afford to get distracted. Right now, the most important thing is to stabilize the situation. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain.

“Luigi, come help!” she shouted.

While calling for help, she simultaneously picked up the silver needle again, swiftly inserting it into several meridian points on both sides of Charles' collarbone.

In an instant, Charles seemed to be struck dumb, his mouth agape, wanting to wail but unable to make a sound.

Next, Neera inserted needles one after another at his throat and below his collarbone, preventing the wug pest from burrowing back in.

After all that, Neera felt as if she was on the verge of collapsing. Her body swayed, almost causing her to fall.

Still, it was Osbert, with his sharp eyes and quick hands, who supported her, asking, “Neera, are you all right?”

“I'm fine.” Neera steadied herself and nodded. It doesn't matter what happens to me. It's not as significant as what just happened. The situation just now was really too dangerous. If anything had gone wrong, all the treatment we've been doing could have been for nothing!
