The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1092

The two elders of the Cox family were overwhelmed with excitement, their eyes even turning red.

“Ms. Garcia, thank you so much. We truly can't thank you enough! Mr. Cox has been tormented by this illness for so long, and it's finally going to be cured!”

“Yes, So many things happened during the treatment. If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't know what to do...”

Violet was also thrilled to bits, her expression completely transformed from before. She jumped up excitedly and threw her arms around Neera. “Ms. Garcia, thank you. You are a benefactor to Satan and to me! If you ever need anything in the future, don't hesitate to tell me. I will definitely help you!”

Luigi and Osbert were watching from the side, and they couldn't help but murmur to themselves. How does this little girl change her mood faster than flipping through a book? She was just fierce and menacing, and now she's suddenly all innocent and cheerful?

Neera smiled faintly, ruffling Violet's hair. “It's too early to discuss this now. Mr. Cox's illness hasn't been completely cured. We still need to develop a medicine for the follow-up treatment.”

After she finished speaking, she turned to Osbert and instructed, “Please tend to his wounds.”

Afterward, she gave Avery the medicine she had developed while treating Willard.

“This medicine may not completely cure your ailment, but it can help eliminate some of the wug poison in your system. Take it first, then rest well. Don't rush to deal with what happened just now. Wait until your health improves before dealing with that.”

Avery completely trusted her. Without questioning the origin of the medicine, he directly drank it down with water.

The pain during the treatment had drained him of much of his energy. He was already exhausted, and now that he was able to relax, he soon drifted off to sleep.

As for Charles, he had been moved to a separate medical room, where he was being monitored.

After the two elders confirmed that Avery's breathing was stable, they led the others out.

In the corridor, Chandler, who had been shot, was lying on the ground, barely clinging to life.

Chad had already had someone stop his bleeding. “No matter what, his life must be spared. For now, it's not yet time for him to die.”

Although the two elders were eager to deal with Chandler immediately, they had to consider the bigger picture. So, they nodded in agreement.

Beside them, other members of the medical team were present. At that moment, they were standing nervously against the wall, their eyes downcast, fearing they would be implicated.

Neera, Osbert, and the others merely watched from the side in silence.

Such an incident happening that day suggested just how deeply the Cox family had been infiltrated!

The faces of the two elders were quite grim, their gaze sweeping over the faces of each member present, finally resting in unison on the attending physician. “There's a traitor in your team. Do you know what's going on?”

From the moment the incident occurred, the attending physician was scared out of his wits, and at that moment, he was shaking like a sieve.

He knew he couldn't avoid the blame, so he could only stutter and answer honestly, “I-I really don't know what happened. Please, believe me, elders. I truly had no idea that Chandler would betray Mr. Cox. If I had known, I would have definitely reported to you in advance!”

“So, you're saying you're completely in the dark and have nothing to do with this matter?”

“Yes! That's right! I can swear I have absolutely nothing to do with this matter!”

The two elders squinted their eyes, remaining silent.

Seeing the situation, the others quickly voiced their innocence, all claiming they had no idea what was going on.

In fact, even though Chandler was part of the medical team, his actions did not necessarily represent the directives of the medical team.

There was definitely something else fishy going on there!

Violet had no patience for nonsense. She stepped forward and grabbed Chandler by the collar. “Speak! Who ordered you to do this? If you don't talk, I'll slowly torture you to death!”

She interrogated him, her words laced with threats. “Even though you've been shot, you're not completely crippled. I'll sever the tendons in your hands first, then your feet, leaving you a cripple and spending the rest of your life in a living hell!”

After hearing that, Chandler was so frightened that he was shaking uncontrollably, nearly scared out of his wits.

Beside him, the attending physician was also seething with anger, wishing he could give him a good kick or two. “You're being asked a question. Answer quickly! Why did you do this? All these years, you've served the Cox family. Why would you betray Mr. Cox at such a crucial moment?”
