The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 785

Obadiah sighed and looked pale. He said, "What did I do to have such a heartless kid? I thought she would behave after what happened last time. It seems that I was wrong. How could she be willful now?"

Neera comforted him by saying, "Mr. Hanson, I will get her back. Leave it to me." I didn’t give a damn about where Thora had gone. Be it dead or alive. I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing, though, when Mr. Hanson is in such distress.

Obadiah looked at Neera and apologized to her. "Neera, I am so sorry... I am incompetent as a teacher, always troubling you."

"Mr. Hanson, I am grateful to have met you. Don’t apologize to me. How’s Mrs. Hanson doing?"

Obadiah turned to face his unconscious wife while sighing. He said, "Fortunately, it wasn’t a big deal. Her blood pressure increased suddenly; she couldn’t take it and fainted. She will be fine in two days. She needs to rest well."

"That's good news."

Neera then said to Osbert, "Thank you for looking after Mr. Hanson and Mrs. Hanson. Don’t let your guard down for the next two days as well."

Osbert nodded and said, "I will."

Neera asked Luigi, "What is the last place Thora showed herself? Lead me the way."

Luigi guided her to a lawn in the hospital. He said, "This is where Thora ended up and was never seen again."

This location is a blind spot since it is not part of the monitoring area. No one visited here as it was far away and located behind the hospital’s garden. Neera took a stroll across the area and saw nothing odd. Just as she planned to leave, she was flashed by a soft light. She looked over, and there was a bracelet lying on the lawn. The bracelet’s crystal emitted a dim light under the refraction of the sunlight. It was difficult to spot.

Neera moved closer and picked it up after realizing it belonged to Thora. She fell silent and lost herself in her thoughts.

Suddenly, Luigi walked up and said, "Nancy, did you find anything?"

Neera hid the bracelet by turning her back to him. She said calmly, "No, I didn’t find anything. I was picking up something I accidentally dropped."

Luigi wasn’t paying attention; he looked around while muttering, "It doesn't seem like there is much of a clue here. Thora most probably left in a fit of rage. She has had similar tantrums before."

He frowned and continued, saying, "Why would she act like a child? She is acting ignorantly as if she didn’t commit all the wrongs. It’s a shame that Mr. Hanson has a daughter like her."

"That’s right," Neera got up, acting normally, and said, "I will send someone to check out the places she frequently goes to. Leave this matter to me. You shouldn’t be wasting your time here. You shall focus on the research center." Neera concluded after giving some thoughts.

Luigi agreed to her plans and went back to the ward. Neera got him to greet Obadiah in her place and left as well.

She went back to the parking lot and stated her guess, "Thora was probably taken prisoner by John. We should investigate this. Bring her home if you find her."

To be honest, I despise Thora. I wouldn’t try to save her if she wasn’t Mr. Hanson’s only child. They would be devastated if she passed away or something else happened to her. I was treated well by Mr. Hanson; all I could do was put up with my discomfort and get Thora back.

Zephyr obeyed the command and sent Neera back before looking into Thora’s matter. I believed that the Shadow Clan was frightened by the warning last time. At the same time, they are reluctant to accept their defeat. They dared not approach Neera. They could only go at Thora and lash out in anger at her.
