The triplets were extremely reluctant to let go, each clinging tightly to Neera and refusing to release their grip. 

“Mommy, we will miss you. You must come back safe and sound, okay?” 

“Daddy, you have to protect Mommy. You can’t let anything happen to her, not even the slightest mishap. And of course, you too. We’ll be waiting for you at home, waiting for you to come back and pick us up. Then we can all be happy together, never to be apart again.” 

Penny was the most upset. She was so heartbroken that she cried. Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her speech was choked with sobs. 

“Mommy, Daddy, I don’t want to be away from you. We’ve finally reunited after so much difficulty. Why do we have to part ways now?” 

Neera felt her heartache. Holding Penny in her arms, she gently stroked her little face tenderly to comfort her. 

“It’s just for a short period of time. We’ll be reunited soon. You must believe in Daddy and me. We will definitely return safely to see you.” 

On that day, after countless heartfelt goodbyes, Neera finally managed to send the Park/family and the triplets onto the plane. 

The next day, Adriana and Chad also packed their bags and left. 

Before leaving, Adriana held Neera tightly, not letting go for a long time. 

“Don’t forget what I told you. If anything happens, contact us immediately. Both of us will take your advice. If we come across anything fun or delicious while traveling, we’ll take pictures for you and even bring some back for you to try. You must stay safe, do you hear me?” 

At that moment, Adriana reminded Neera of the time when she was first taken abroad. Unfamiliar with her surroundings, she would always hear her aunt reassure her in the same gentle and patient manner every time they 

went out. 

Tears welled up in Neera’s eyes as she buried her face in Adriana’s shoulder, taking in her scent deeply. Thát familiar smell was as comforting as a mother’s warmth. 

“Aunt Adriana, I will. You must be happy too, okay? When I return, come to my wedding.” 

Adriana laughed. “Alright, I will have to prepare a big gift for you!” 

After a journey of two days and one night, Jean and Neera, along with Shane, returned to Phison. 

After landing, they headed straight to the Gordon residence in District Ten. 

Upon seeing their return, Robin welcomed them with a gentle smile. 

Baxter’s expression, however, was far from pleasant. He had an air of disdain for everyone around him. Chin raised, he neither greeted them nor spoke, simply sitting there. 

Behind him, Troy and Ollie were the first ones to speak up. 

“Well, look who decided to come back! I thought you were having so much fun out there that you’d forgotten all about home. Casting aside such a huge family like the Gordons and running off, you guys really have some nerve!* 

10:54 Mon, 11 Deco. 

Despite their mockery and sarcasm, Neera wasn’t bothered to respond. 

She walked straight to the head of the family’s seat. She was just about to sit down when Baxter stopped her. 

“Wait a minute, you can’t take the seat of the head of the family!” 

He blurted out these words unexpectedly. Neera raised an eyebrow, glancing at him sideways. With a smirk, she asked him, “Why can’t I sit here? Could it be, Mr. Baxter, that after all this time apart, you’ve forgotten who I am? No wonder you didn’t greet me just now. It seems you’ve developed amnesia. But that’s okay, my specialty is medicine. I can cure you as long as that’s what you want.” 

Baxter glared at her. “Stop being so glib. As the head of the family, you abandoned your family to return to your country. What right do you have to be the head of the family? I tolerated it before because you seemed to be dedicated. But now, if you want to take this position back, there’s no chance I’m going to allow it!” 

At that moment, Troy and Ollie also chimed in. 

“That’s right. What do you think the Gordon residence is? A place where you can come and go as you please? As the head of a family, you have not fulfilled your responsibilities and duties. Instead, you abandoned the entire family to pursue your own whims and live your own life. You are simply not fit to be the head of a family!” 

Neera sniggered when she understood what was going on. Standing before everyone, she said nonchalantly, “So, it seems all of you are staging a coup, aren’t you?” 

After speaking, she turned her head to look at Robin, asking him, “In that case, Mr. Robin, What do you think? Do you also agree with them, believing that I am not worthy of the position of family head? I wasn’t aware that once one becomes the family head, others could still question it?” 

Baxter sneered, “Why can’t I question you? If the head of the family is not fulfilling her duties, then those below have the right to question, even the right to overthrow. Just look at the entire Gordon family. There are many people more qualified and experienced than you. Anyone in this position would bring more to the Gordon family than you ever could!” 

“Is that so?” Neera replied calmly, without a trace of anger on her face.
