The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1336

Avery's condition had finally stabilized completely.

For this, both Rio and Ronald were extremely grateful.

Neera smiled. “Given the close relationship between our two families, there's no need for such formality. All we need to do next is to ensure he takes his medication regularly. His condition will gradually improve, and he will stay conscious for longer periods. In about three to four days, he should fully regain consciousness.”

Violet finally felt at ease, sweetly saying, “Neenie, your medical skills are still so impressive!”

With a gentle smile, Neera handed her the medicine and then departed.

Jean was waiting outside, ready to take her away.

On the way back, he casually asked, “How is Avery doing?”

Neera said in a relaxed tone, “He'll be fine. He just needs to take his medicine on time, and his energy will be back to normal eventually.”

“Oh? Does that mean you don't have to visit him every day from now on?”

Thinking he was just being jealous again, Neera blinked her eyes and cooed at him, “No need for that. From now on, I can spend the whole day with you, the kids, and my aunt and uncle. Does that make you happy?”

Jean raised an eyebrow. “Yes, I'm happy now.”

Then, he casually suggested, “In that case, why don't we go somewhere else to relax?”

Neera pulled out a piece of chocolate from her snack bag, looking at him curiously as she asked, “Where are you planning to take me this time? You didn't buy another island, did you?”

Jean was amused by her. “No, I was just thinking that we've been in Phison for so long, yet there are still many places we haven't visited. It would be a pity not to see the sights.”

“Do you already have an idea of where to go?”

“Yeah. Since you arrived, you've been staying in Bartitsu Guild's district. How about we take a stroll in District Ten?”

Neera was taken aback. “District Ten? But that's the territory of Lordsworth Estate. I'm currently the head of the Gordon family and a member of Bartitsu Guild. Isn't it inappropriate for me to enter the sphere of influence of Lordsworth Estate?”

Just the thought of going over there had her inexplicably feeling a bit nervous.

“No, no, what if something dangerous happens? It's better not to go. Let's just relax in Bartitsu Guild's district. I... I'm a bit scared by the overt and covert power struggles in Phison.”

Watching her shake her head vigorously, Jean couldn't help but laugh.

“Why do you react as if you've seen a ghost at the mention of Lordsworth Estate? Is it really that terrifying? Have you forgotten that they have helped you before? Moreover, the lord is someone you once saved. He has always wanted to repay your kindness and has always taken great care of you and the Gordon family.”

After some thought, Neera was still somewhat hesitant.

“The people at Lordsworth Estate are quite nice, but I'm still a bit nervous. After all, I represent Bartitsu Guild...”

“Think about it. Have the Medicina and other families in Lordsworth Estate ever antagonized you because you're from Bartitsu Guild? Also, in all the time you've been here, have you ever heard or seen any internal strife within their ranks?”

After some thought, Neera shook her head. “No, I haven't. Mr. Medicina and his team have been very good to me too.”

Jean controlled the steering wheel with one hand while gently running his other hand through her soft hair strands.

“There you have it. You're going there not for business, but simply for leisure. There's no need to be so tense. There's no rule that says people from two different factions can't visit each other's territories.”

While it was one thing to say it, in reality, not stepping into the other party's territory was an unwritten rule, perhaps even a custom.

After hearing this, Neera relaxed quite a bit. She hesitated for a moment longer before agreeing.

“All right, let's head to District Ten then. But for this matter, we still need to consult Uncle Chad and Aunt Adriana to see if they agree.”

Jean smiled faintly. “All right.”

Upon hearing that Jean planned to take Neera and the children to District Ten for a vacation, a meaningful glint flashed across Chad's eyes.

He didn't object and agreed quite quickly.

Nonetheless, Adriana was somewhat worried. “Is this really okay? Even if the people from Lordsworth Estate don't mind, what about Bartitsu Guild? Won't they overthink it?”

Upon hearing that, Neera suddenly realized that was indeed an issue and immediately became hesitant again.

At this moment, it was Chad who stepped forward to speak.

“No worries. Even Bartitsu Guild doesn't have the right to restrict personal freedom. Besides, no one would be foolish enough to choose such a conspicuous way to travel if they wanted to collude with the enemy. Go ahead, relax. Your previous two trips were affected by other matters. This time, you don't have to worry about anything. I'll hold down the fort for the Gordon family, and things are going smoothly with Shane. Even if there are any troubles, we can handle them with ease.”

As he spoke, he playfully teased Neera, jokingly saying, “I've been running the Gordon family for so many years, after all. That's not for nothing.”

Neera laughed, feeling relieved.

Hence, the next day, Jean took Neera and the three little ones, left District Fourteen, and flew toward District Ten.

On the plane, Neera was lost in thought. If I happen to run into that mysterious lord of Lordsworth Estate, I can properly express my gratitude.

Then again, that's unlikely. I don't even know what he looks like. I definitely wouldn't recognize him even if he were to be standing before me...

Four hours later, the plane landed.

Jean first took them to the hotel and handled the check-in procedures.

After the triplets entered the suite, they looked around in excitement before running to the floor-to-ceiling windows. They pressed their faces against the glass, gazing down from the thirtieth floor at the entire District Ten.

“Wow! This place is incredibly beautiful! It's a completely different style from District Fourteen! It's more artistic and even more luxurious!”

“This hotel is so unique!” Penny admired the artificial hill and pond in the spacious living room, which had goldfish swimming inside it. She was absolutely delighted. “This is so creative!”
