The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 887

"What the hell is going on?" questioned Neera.

This time, it was Chad who spoke.

"The Cox family's secret is the subject of this matter. Outsiders should not have been informed, but the current situation is critical, so I'll cut a long narrative short. The Cox family has seen some pretty major civil conflict throughout the years, and the two elders were just concerned that this information might leak. Avery's parents died of the same illness a few years ago, but they, too, have never discovered the cause.”

“They were poisoned; that much is certain. The murderer has not yet been identified. Avery currently holds the reins of power. If it is revealed that he has the same condition as his late parents, there will undoubtedly be additional uproar. I'm worried it'll be really dangerous, so we'll have to be extra cautious."

Neera realized what was going on now. She looked at the two elders, understood their difficulties, and did not persist.

"Well, as you suggested, I'll stay and treat him here."

When the two elders heard this, they exhaled a sigh of relief and repeatedly nodded graciously.

"Ms. Garcia, I appreciate your help. Just let us know what you need, and we'll give it to you right here."

"No, I have seen it," said Neera. “The medical facilities are excellent, and everything is in place.”

She paused for a moment, thought it over, and then said, "But I have to go back and get some information."

"In that case, let's go back together. Your aunt Adriana is still waiting for you at home. Zephyr can send you back later," Chad said, nodding.

The Cox family's two elders had no issues with this arrangement.

Neera bid farewell to the two Elders before leaving with Chad after instructing a medical specialist to take care of Avery's safety measures.

Chad couldn't help but question her on the way back: "Neera, have you seen the cause? What exactly is the disease?"

Neera didn't have to adhere to strict rules when dealing with him.

"I am only based on the existing situation, and I guess that Avery was likely poisoned by Wug," she said, a little melancholy expression on her face.

"Wug?" Chad was taken aback.

“Things like wugs have always been unusual. Wug is essentially seeded covertly, and it's challenging to locate the illness! Although medicine is highly evolved today, very few people are aware of things like wugs. Many people view it more as a strange myth that exists outside of reality, but it is this kind of stuff that has the potential to accidentally kill people,” Neera said as she nodded.

Chad's face went melancholy as he remembered Avery's parents' deaths.

"My parents and Avery's parents are friends. When they passed away, it was strange. Famous doctors from all over the world were hired, but they were unable to save their lives. They never learned the cause in the end. But based on what I've heard you say, I fear they were likely poisoned with wugs. But wug insects like mother wug and wugling need to be present in human bodies to carry wug poison. Why aren't they detectable?” said Chad.

“It's true, but there are always exceptions because wug is broken down into several forms,” Neera stated gravely.

She had been reflecting on what she had discovered about wugs.

"I once came across it in an old medical book. Many potent wugs were created by some ancient medical families that were skilled at the art of wug hundreds of years ago. When wug enters the human body, it can almost immediately get assimilated into people and, unintentionally, eat away at the body and harm the internal organs. Finally, it resulted in a violent death, and Wug also vanished.”

This topic was a bit murky. Both the speaker and the audience were feeling a little chilly.

Neera asked, "Can you tell me more about what the Cox family was like when they passed away?" while holding the other arm in one hand.

Chad's face darkened, and he said, "It nearly makes sense in light of what you said. Their internal organs were worn out at the time. Even the soft tissues, according to the specialist, exhibited signs of deterioration. They ultimately passed away brutally and without receiving any medical treatment. Although it may not be the wug poison you stated, I believe you are correct."

“It will be problematic if this is the case.”

Neera scowled, and her eyes were heavy. She said, "There are still medical resources to treat incurable diseases, but the treatment of wug poison will be very tricky medically."

Chad was aware of the situation; he said, "Anyway, Avery will need your assistance. Please give him whatever medical care you can to make him well. My old friend only has one son."

"Naturally," Neera stroked her chin, "I will do my best to find a way to save him."

Adriana was seated in the living room when they arrived home.

Chad moved forward right away and asked Adriana, "Why did you come down and wait? Why didn't you just lay down and relax?"

"It's nothing; I just can't sleep." Adriana sighed helplessly. “It's the same wherever I wait; how's Avery?"

Chad didn't try to hide it from her and spoke short.

Adriana's expression darkened as she asked, "Neera, are you sure you can treat him?" since she hadn't anticipated it to be so difficult.

“I don't know much about wugs, but I will try hard and do everything to save him,” Neera admitted honestly.
