The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 730

When Neera was informed about Adriana's health condition, she pulled herself together and returned to the ward.

Adriana, understanding Neera's nature, could immediately discern from her expression that she had been informed about the severity of her illness.

Adriana consoled her, saying, "It'll be alright; don't fret."

Neera sat beside her, gripping her hand, and her eyelashes quivered slightly.

It took her a while before she responded.

It was uncertain if she was reassuring her aunt or herself when she remarked, "I promise, while I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you. You've been through so much lately; now it's time for you to rest. Leave the company affairs to me."

She concluded, emphasizing her resolve, "I'll take care of everything."

Adriana, noticing the worry concealed in Neera's gaze, gently held her hand, caressing the back of it, and uttered, "Hmm, I trust you."

Both exchanged a glance, feeling the weight of the situation, and shared a moment of silence.

To lighten the mood, despite the sorrow and distress spreading in her heart, Neera forced herself to adopt an upbeat look.

"Mr. Gordon has been good to you, hasn't he?" she teased.

When she brought up Chad, a twinge of warmth flashed through Adriana's eyes. She didn't give her niece a verbal response, but the look on her face said it all.

Neera giggled and expressed, "I feel relieved when I see the bond you two share. Since you have some time, why don't you let Mr. Gordon keep you company?"

Adriana was delighted with her words; she beamed and answered in a light tone, "Alright."

She then briefed Neera about the upcoming plan, saying, "Neil will get in touch with you tomorrow. If you have any inquiries regarding company matters, she's the one to consult."

Neil Shepard had been Adriana's trusted personal assistant for many years, known for his unwavering loyalty.

Neera gave a nod of understanding but then made a face of disapproval. She clarified, "I've already mentioned that you should let me handle the business. Why can't you just relax and stop worrying about it?"

Adriana couldn't help but chuckle, her shoulders gently vibrating from the laughter. She submitted, "Okay, okay, I promise I'll always listen to you."

She then took some time to soothe Neera's concerns, treating her with the tenderness one might show a young child.

Then she checked the time and urged, "You and the kids had traveled a long flight; you must be exhausted. Go home, get some rest, and adjust to the time difference."

Certainly, after the exhausting journey, Neera was drained.

She left the hospital with the triplets. Ulric chauffeured them back to Adriana's opulent residence.

It was a luxury mansion.

As the car made its way through the grand gates, it continued to drive a short distance before being greeted with a sight resembling a historic castle.

Upon learning of Neera's arrival, the household staff gathered in anticipation at the main entrance. Their faces lit up at her sight.

"Miss Garcia, it's so good to see you back!"

"The young ones have grown so much!"

Neera greeted them with a soft smile, warmly embracing the familiar faces.

The triplets, overflowing with enthusiasm, chatted animatedly, expressing their affection and how much they had missed the staff.

After entrusting the kids to the household employees, Neera turned to the butler, inquiring, "Have you seen Susan and Roxanne from Kingsview?"

The butler's demeanor quickly shifted to a more grave tone. He informed her, "Ms. Adriana had helped them settle down in the hospital."

Neera adopted a sinister gaze and mocked, "These two have no shame! How dare they stay at the hospital?"

She summoned Ulric and instructed him, "Drive to the hospital and ensure those two are evicted. Let the hospital know they aren't to be admitted or accommodated under any name. Given Aunt Adriana's condition, how dare they take advantage of her hospitality?

Ulric, ever compliant, promptly replied, "As you wish, Ms. Neera."

Once Ulric departed, Neera took a moment, pinched her nose, and recalled the matters back in Kingsview.

She was worried about Jean.

She retrieved her phone, only to realize she hadn't turned it on since the flight.

There were several missed calls from Jean, Ian, and Osbert.

Eagerly, she dialed Jean's number, only to be met with silence. Panic surged as she feared he may have passed out again.

Disappointed, she dialed Osbert next.

"Osbert, is everything alright?"

He responded, "Neera, did you land safely? Jean regained consciousness a while ago. He tried contacting you but couldn't get through. After waiting for a bit, he dozed off."
