During the course of the meal, Neera managed to find out about some information through their conversation.
It turns out that Avery had some business in Essley, and have had a longstanding business relationship with the Gordon family.
As for the rest that the man didn’t mention, she didn’t ask in detail.
Avery had been very pleasant and gentle over dinner. The atmosphere was quite pleasant.
After the meal, he handed her his own name card.
“This is my personal number, Ms. Garcia. Feel free to let me know if you need any other help from me.”
He then gave her the address of the hospital that Thora was in.
Neera took the information and expressed her thanks once again. She then left with Zephyr.
On the way home, Zephyr looked into the rearview mirror a few times. He wanted to speak but stopped himself.
Before he could speak, Neera was the one who asked him first.
“Who is that Avery Cox anyways? Is he part of some Bartitsu family just like Uncle Chad?”
Zephyr hesitated for a bit, and then admitted: “Yes, the Cox family is also a hermit family. One of the Bartitsu families as well. And Avery is the leader of this generation of the family.”
Neera nodded her head in comprehension. She looked out of the car window, and murmured: “No wonder, I had a feeling that he wasn’t just some random guy. He was even one step ahead of you to get Thora back from the Shadow Clan. He’s definitely no ordinary guy.”
Even though he seemed elegant and poised during dinner, she had feeling that there was something underneath his friendly demeanor, like a sense of shrewd calculation of sorts.
He didn’t look like a humble gentleman, but a scheming fox.
Zephyr didn’t reply her, which was his acquiescence.
Neera didn’t ask any more questions. She just stared at the night view outside. Then, she thought of giving her mentor a call.
“I found Thora, Mr. Hanson. She’s in the hospital that Mrs. Hanson and you are, in ward 1307.”
Obadiah was having dinner with Marie. He was elated to hear the news.
“Thank you so much, Neera. I really appreciate it.”
After expressing his gratitude, he put down the phone. Both he and Marie lost their appetite from excitement and went to ward 1307 to see Thora hurriedly.
Thora only regained consciousness around nine o’clock at night.
Seeing that her parents were by her side, her tears fell like rain, and cried loudly in Marie’s arms.
“Mom, you’ve finally found me. I really thought that I wouldn’t see you ever again in this lifetime…”
Marie was heartbroken, and burst into tears as she patted Thora’s back lightly, consoling her as she sobbed.
“What nonsense are you talking about, you silly little thing. Isn’t this good? You here, safe with us.”
She wiped her tears, and continued. “Thank god for Neera for finding you. Otherwise, we would still be anxious as hell, not knowing where you are. Please don’t be so stubborn next time, okay? You’re already grown, and you still want to run away from home. Why can’t you be a bit smarter and mature like Neera?”
As soon as Thora heard her nemesis’s name, her crying and wailing suddenly stopped, and changed into a rage as she pushed her mother away aggressively.
“What do you mean ‘thank god for her’?” I wouldn’t end up so miserable if it weren’t for her! And you’re still saying good things about her?”
She was like a porcupine, full of barbs of resentment and dissatisfaction.
Obadiah’s eyebrows frowned as soon as he saw her reaction.
“Why do you hate Neera so much? When you’ve cured other badly and almost killed them, it was Neera who took care of it for you. Not only did you not thank her, but you’re still acting so stubborn? This matter has already passed and Neera hasn’t mentioned it for a long time already, so why are you still yapping on about it? Neera did it for your own good!”
Thora didn’t buy any of his words, and sneered eerily instead.
“For my own good? That’s funny, because I think she rather see me dead instead!”
“You–”
Obadiah’s frown became tighter. “You stupid thing! How can you not distinguish between good and bad?”
Thora then exploded into a rage, and swept everything from the bedside table onto the floor.
“Enough! I don’t want to hear about that b*tch’s name anymore! Don’t just keep praising her all the time in front of me! I’m the one who is our actual daughter!”
Obadiah was startled. His face didn’t look too great.
Marie had no choice but to dissuade him.
“Alright, alright. It wasn’t easy to find our daughter again, so why don’t you stop picking a fight with her?”
Obadiah had no choice but to give up and walked out of the ward.
Thora saw how her father reacted and gritted her teeth so hard that they might crack from the force, her fingers tightly grasping the hospital quilt.
Even though she didn’t know how she got back to her parents, she would not give any thanks to Neera even if she really was the one who had saved her!
If it weren’t for that b*tch, she wouldn’t have to go through such terrifying things!
She will not let go of Neera even if she dies!
