The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 919

Neera was completely ignorant about that matter.

For two consecutive days, she rushed to the research institute, immersing herself in the laboratory to develop new drugs.

On the morning of the third day, the medication was finally successfully developed.

Upon receiving the news, the Cox family immediately sent Violet to collect the medicine.

Violet rushed over swiftly, and after receiving the medicine, she carefully stored it away.

Afterward, she looked at Neera sincerely, her voice soft and genuine. “Ms. Garcia, thank you so much.

Neera felt the identity of the girl was far more complex than it appeared.

After all, she was someone who stayed by Avery's side.

Nevertheless, she quite liked the girl. Smiling, she said, “No need to be so polite. I'm just doing my bit.”

Having said that, she added a few more words of advice.

“Remember, once you find the person, make sure to bring them back safely and keep them under control. They must not be put in any life-threatening situation. Otherwise, the wug cannot be lifted.”

Upon hearing that she couldn't lay a hand on the murderer, Violet was filled with frustration.

She had been incredibly anxious in the past few days, harboring intense murderous intent.

But considering Avery's situation, she still heeded Neera's advice. “Sure, I understand. I'll be careful.”

Afterward, she left quite swiftly.

Neera Garcia saw her off at the institute's entrance. As she watched the car gradually disappear into the distance, she let out a sigh of relief. Hopefully, everything is going smoothly on Avery's end...

In the afternoon, she conducted another check-up for Gerald. With nothing else to do, she returned to the office.

Realizing she hadn't been there for several days now, Neera figured it was time she dropped by to handle some matters.

Unexpectedly, she had barely set foot in the office, hadn't even sat down, when Neil followed in to report.

“Ms. Garcia, there's a call from the reception. Someone is here to see you. They've brought your favorite pastries and would like to meet with you.”

Neera was surprised. “Who is it?”

“It's an old man. He's currently in the lobby on the first floor.”

An old man who brought my favorite pastries? Neera searched her mind and began to form a vague guess.

“Let him come up and take him to the reception room. I'll be there shortly after handling this email.”

“Yes.” Niel nodded.

After leaving the office, he made a call to the front desk.

Ten minutes later, Neera walked into the reception room.

Just as she had guessed, she saw the old man whom she had saved from wug by chance at the café before.

To her surprise, he actually showed up at the company.

Upon seeing her, the elderly man immediately stood up and took the initiative to greet her, “You must be Ms. Garcia, right?”

Neera regained her senses and leisurely walked over.

“Yes, my name is Neera Garcia. Please have a seat.”

“Okay.” The old man nodded.

The two of them took their seats.

Neera took the initiative to ask politely, “May I ask why you sought me out today? Is there something you need?”

The elderly man introduced himself with a kind and gentle demeanor.

“Ms. Garcia, I wonder if you still remember me? My name is Willard Saunders. You saved me once in a café. I took the liberty of coming today mainly to express my gratitude for your life-saving grace. I hope you won't find my uninvited arrival unwelcoming.”

Actually, Neera was a bit apprehensive.

When she saved him previously, she didn't leave any information behind.

Yet, that old man managed to find out her identity and even drop by. She reckoned that the old man was definitely not simple.

The other party clearly noticed her guard up and immediately began to soothe her with a gentle voice. “Ms. Garcia, please don't be nervous. I'm not a bad person, nor do I have any other intentions. I'm simply grateful for the life-saving favor you've done for me, and I can't forget it. I heard from my shop's waiter that you enjoy these pastries from our shop, so I've specially prepared a few for you. I hope this can serve as a small token of my gratitude.”

He speaks with such refinement. It was clear at a glance that he was no ordinary individual.

Neera nodded, expressing her thanks in a soft voice. Looking at his hands clasped together, she hesitated for a moment but still took the initiative to ask, “You've made a special trip here today. It's probably not just to say thank you. Is there anything else?”

“So, you've figured it out...” Willard sighed, managing a bitter smile. “Indeed, there is something else, Ms. Garcia. I have a favor to ask of you. I hope you can help me treat my illness. To be honest, this illness has been troubling me for a long time, but there has been no cure. The day I had an attack, I heard from my employees that it was you who cured me, and that's when I regained hope. I believe that since you were able to save me, you must also understand what is tormenting me. That's why I came uninvited. If I have offended you, I am truly sorry, but I really hope to find relief!”

As he spoke those words, his face was filled with regret, and his tone was sincere.
