The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 889

Neera stayed in the research room and studied a wealth of information and ancient medical books. After a day, it was confirmed that the wug was, in fact, the root of Avery’s persistent sickness. She left the study room while rubbing her eyes.

The Cox family’s two elders were guarding the room outside. They rushed to Neera despite how worn out they were.

"Ms. Garcia, how is it? What disease does Mr. Cox suffer from? Is it curable?" They questioned me endlessly.

Neera calmed them down and told them her findings.

They were perplexed after hearing her words. "Wug? Is it real? It’s been a while since I heard of it!"

"‘Wug' has always existed, despite the fact that it has vanished for a while and is almost never mentioned anymore. There were several signs that Mr. Cox was indeed suffering from a wug. Based on my findings, I assumed that his parents died due to wug as well." Neera was aware that her words were absurd, but they were the truth.

"Is there any cure?" asked the two elders. They turned pale after learning the truth.

"I can’t be sure yet. However, wugs are divided into mother wug and wugling. For now, we must find out what type it is in Mr. Cox’s body."

"What is the difference between the two?"

"If it’s a mother wug, it will be simpler to deal with. It can be taken out right away. However, it will be incredibly challenging if it’s a wugling. It is controlled by the mother wug. Any careless move will be too risky for Mr. Cox's body. We must first identify whose body is carrying the mother wug. We then need to track him down to eliminate the mother wug. The wugling can only be killed in the end.”

The elders processed the information and begged Neera, "Please find out whether it is a mother wug or a wugling in Mr. Cox’s body!"

Neera nodded and started another round of inspections. It took until the next morning for her to obtain the result. Neera was exhausted when she came out of the research room.

Chad and Adriana had arrived. They were heartbroken to see her being worn out.

Adriana grabbed her hand while grumbling, "Silly girl! You often forget to take care of yourself when you get busy. What if your body couldn’t take it anymore?"

Neera smiled warmly as she saw Adriana. She said, "I am fine. Why are you here?"

Adriana sighed. "I came to visit Avery. I am worried about you as well."

At the same time, the elders and Violet stepped in and asked, "Ms. Garcia, how is the result?" They couldn’t wait anymore.

Neera said solemnly, "Unfortunately, it's bad news. The wug in Mr. Cox is a wugling." Everyone turned pale and depressed as soon as these words were said.

Chad said, "What can we do now?"

Neera said while shaking her head, "Nothing; we have to find the mother wug in order to get rid of the wugling. It’s quite likely that it belongs to the assailant."

The elders were taken aback; it’s nearly impossible to find the mother wug. Where did we locate it, considering how spontaneously this happened?

Violet, who had remained silent, suddenly shouted, "We have a mole!"

Everyone looked at her, and the elders said, "What brings you to that conclusion?"

Violet said, "It must be someone close to Mr. Cox for a wug to be planted into his body! We will undoubtedly be able to locate clues if we examine the individuals around him."

Neera nodded in agreement and said, "That’s true. Food and beverages are usually the main suspects of wug entry. We could narrow the range of suspicion. It shouldn’t be challenging to find the mole."

"I will look into it!" Violet volunteered to take on this crucial task.

The two elders agreed and said, "Leave it to her. She was taken up by Mr. Cox at an early age and was treated like his own sister. She has stayed by his side since then. She is trustworthy."

Neera wouldn’t have any issues with it since both elders agreed to it. She gave a brief explanation by saying, "Once you have located the individual, take him down and keep him alive. Wugs are fatal and dangerous. We couldn’t risk it before we knew the whereabouts of the mother wug. Otherwise, it can endanger the life of Mr. Cox."

Violet’s eyes were full of determination as she nodded firmly.

Chad was worried about Neera and said, "Alright, you should be resting now. You have been overworking yourself for two days. The kids are anxiously awaiting you at home; let’s stop here."

The elders were embarrassed and said, "We could clean up a guest room. Why don’t you take a nap here?"

Neera declined since she wanted to go home. She said, "Thanks for offering, but I shall get home. I didn’t pack a change of clothing." The elders stopped pursuing her since she insisted.
