The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 784

Chad was ready with the luggage and discharge paperwork when Adriana fell asleep. He took Adriana to the airport the next day, early in the morning. Chad wasted no time.

Neera, Jean, and the triplets went to the airport to see them off. The triplets were crying as they watched Adriana go.

Adriana was heartbroken seeing their tears and said, "Sweethearts, grandma will be back soon. Be good and wait for me, okay?"

The triplets were trying to hold their tears in, but they failed. Their sobbing ached Adriana’s heart.

Penny leaped into her arms while crying, "Grandaunt, I hope for your speedy recovery. We will miss you."

Harvey and Sammy grasped her hand and gave their blessings repeatedly.

"Grandaunt, remember to take your medication on time, eat healthily, and sleep well. Don’t be shy about letting them know right away if you are not feeling well."

"Take your time and enjoy your life there. We will be waiting patiently for your return."

Adriana was amused and touched, watching them act like adults. She hugged and kissed the triplets.

Neera was reluctant to let her go as well, but she put on a smile and said, "I have an idea to be executed when you are back from your recuperation. Aunt Adriana, why don’t you and Uncle Chad get married? I can get everything done for you!"

Adriana chucked and softly flicked her forehead. "How dare you tease me now? Naughty girl."

On the other hand, Chad remarked, "That’s a great idea. I will keep it in mind. He glanced at Adriana. The latter grinned, feeling blessed to have them in her life.

They chatted and joked around before it reached boarding time.

While holding Neera's hand, Adriana's smile gradually waned, and she eventually appeared a little apprehensive. She said worriedly, "Neera, promise me. You have to take care of your health when handling the company. Do not tire yourself; remember to hand over the tasks to Neil and the employees when necessary. You are the priority. Rest when needed, okay?"

Neera softly nodded, saying, "I promise you, Aunt Adriana. I will be praying for your speedy recovery; don't worry about me," she said, fighting back the sourness that started to build up.

Adriana said to Jean solemnly, "Neera is in your hands. Please take care of her."

Jean nodded sternly and said, "Leave her to me."

Chad and Adriana boarded the plane five minutes later. Neera couldn’t remain calm anymore after the plane flew into the clouds. I wanted to stay with Aunt Adriana and be her support. However, this is the only way for me to deal with the Garcia family without distractions.

While holding Neera in his arms, Jean said reassuringly, "I am here for you. Mr. Gordon will be taking good care of Adriana as well. She will be fine."

Neera said, "I hope so," while cuddling in his arms.

Neera later turned to the triplets, who were still gazing into the sky. She patted their heads and said, "Alright, let’s head back."

On their way back home, she unexpectedly got a call from Osbert. "Neera, Thora is missing! Mrs. Hanson passed out as soon as she knew about it!"

Neera frowned and said, "What is she planning again? Wasn’t she beaten badly by Mr. Hanson? How is it possible for her to run away?"

"I wasn’t sure about the details. The hospital is currently checking out the surveillance; we should be able to know what happened soon."

"Okay, I will be waiting." Neera hung up the phone. I did not care about Thora. It’s a waste of my time. However, I could not ignore Mrs. Hanson. I have to check on her.

"Jean, I am going to the hospital with Zephyr. Wait for me at home with the kids, okay?"

Jean heard the conversation over the call; he nodded and said, "Stay alert; we will be waiting for you."

Neera and Zephyr arrived at the hospital half an hour later. Zephyr was left in the car, and Neera went to the ward by herself.

Maris was unconscious, and Obadiah was waiting beside her. He was depressed and lost in his thoughts.

Neera was surprised to see Luigi; she said, "I wasn’t aware that you were back."

Luigi greeted her and said, "My work has been progressing well. I came back as Mr. Hanson asked me to."

Neera nodded and asked, "Did Thora run away on her own?"

Luigi replied in a low tone, "We got the results from the surveillance. Thora went for a walk. However, she went beyond the surveillance range. She disappeared shortly after. We can speculate that she ran away due to her own rage, perhaps due to He hesitated before continuing his words, "She was scolded a few days ago. She might have acted rashly out of it."
