The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 913

She furrowed her brow, not daring to waste any time, and quickly retrieved a silver needle, efficiently disinfecting it.

Then, she targeted five meridian points.

Avery felt a sharp pain, involuntarily opening his eyes, his veins bulging, and his gaze turning crimson.

Neera, noticing his reaction, continued to manipulate the needles while soothing him.

“Relax, don't tense up. Take deep breaths, and try to relax as much as possible. It will be all right. Trust me...”

Avery stared at her intently, gradually calming down under her reassuring words.

On the sidelines, the medical team, who had been anxiously concerned, were now displaying looks of astonishment at Neera's skills.

This woman was truly remarkable, especially her dry needling technique.

It was simply miraculous.

They hadn't expected that she could calm Avery down so quickly.

Neera didn't have the time to pay attention to their reactions. After Avery's breathing had stabilized, she issued quick and confident instructions.

“First, tend to his wound. Be careful not to reopen it; it would be even more troublesome if it gets infected.”

The team snapped back to attention. Not daring to delay any longer, they quickly fetched medicines and bandages to begin the treatment.

Neera kept a close eye on them as she disinfected and applied medication to the wound. She then asked, “How are you feeling now?”

Avery's breathing was still somewhat labored. Clenching his teeth, his voice was strained and hoarse with a slight tremor.

“I feel like there are millions of ants gnawing at me all over. Even my bones ache...”

Neera nodded. “Hang in there a little longer. I'll help alleviate the pain shortly, and it won't hurt as much.”

Avery's gaze remained fixed on her. “This time... thank you. I heard that you went to the World Medical Alliance just for my sake.”

Neera didn't mind it. “No trouble at all. I don't know much about your condition, so I needed to gather information there to provide the best treatment. Uncle Chad insisted on curing your illness, and you can trust me. I'll do my best, but it will require your patience and cooperation.”

As she spoke, she maintained a slight distance.

Avery naturally noticed, his gaze darkening.

Neera didn't pay much attention to his gaze and went on to examine the blood vessels and patterns on his body and neck.

After a while, the chief doctor of the medical team finished treating his wound.

Upon completion, he respectfully asked, “Ms. Garcia, is there anything else we can assist with?”

Neera shook her head. “No, I need to perform dry needling for him now. Please step out.”

Dry needling required her full concentration and she couldn't be interrupted.

Although they were eager to stay and witness her exceptional medical skills, the team obediently withdrew.

The entire dry needling session took an hour.

During the treatment, Avery couldn't hold on any longer and drifted into a light sleep.

Fortunately, the mother wug inside his body seemed to have calmed down temporarily.

After removing the needles, Neera wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a sigh of relief. She walked out of the treatment room feeling somewhat weary.

The two elders from the Cox family were anxiously waiting outside.

When they saw her coming out, they hurriedly approached her.

“Ms. Garcia, how is the head of our family doing? Do you have confidence in curing him?”

“He's currently asleep again. I managed to alleviate his condition temporarily, and I'm confident in a complete cure, but we need to find the mother wug first.”

At this point, she noticed that the little Lolita was not around and asked, “What about Little Lolita? Is she still investigating? Any progress in the past few days?”

The two elders were initially hopeful upon hearing the first part of her statement, but their expressions darkened upon hearing the latter.

Progress had clearly not been smooth.

Violet had been tirelessly investigating, but there hadn't been a single lead, let alone finding the person responsible for the wug infestation.

Neera pondered for a moment and reassured them, “It seems that she hasn't found anything, but there's no need to worry. I have a plan.”

“What plan?” the two elders asked with renewed hope.

“I can create a medicine that specifically triggers a mother wug's agitation. When you conduct your investigations, use this medicine. As long as someone with a mother wug in their vicinity is exposed to it, they will show a reaction after a few hours. At that time, the culprit will be exposed.”

Since someone dared to infest the head of the Cox family with wug, it indicated an extremely covert operation, making it challenging to uncover the truth.

This method would be more straightforward.

Upon hearing this, the two elders were overjoyed.

“Ms. Garcia, then we entrust this matter to you! We thank you on behalf of Mr. Cox!”

Neera waved her hand. “Hold off on thanking me for now. Success will only be achieved when we apprehend the culprit. I'll need three days. After that, I'll notify you, and you can come to collect the medicine.”

The two elders nodded enthusiastically, their expressions finally lightening.
