The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 929

Neera paused her work and noticed that Vanessa's entire body had turned red, with patches of red dots appearing.

It appeared to be an allergic reaction.

She furrowed her brow and inquired, “Could it be an allergy to something you ate, or did you come into contact with something dirty?”

Vanessa refrained from scratching but seemed uncomfortable, rubbing her arm against her wrist while shaking her head.

“No, I didn't eat anything different from my usual diet today, and I've never had allergies before.”

Neera examined her carefully but didn't find anything unusual.

Skin rashes could occur due to changes in a person's body and the surrounding environment, so she didn't delve further into it.

Therefore, she didn't dwell on it too much.

After ensuring that Vanessa didn't have any other issues, Neera administered a shot and prescribed some medication.

“Apply this ointment at intervals and observe. If there's no improvement later, come see me again.”

Vanessa nodded. “I understand. Thank you, Nancy.”

Neera's phone began to ring after Vanessa was gone.

It was a call from the three little ones.

“Mommy, Master King brought us back home! Can you come back early tonight? We miss you so much and want to eat the food you make!”

Penny's soft and cute voice came through the phone.

A warm smile spread across Neera's face, her eyes filled with tenderness.

“Of course, my sweeties. Be good at home and wait for me.”

After hanging up the phone, she immersed herself in her work once again, trying to make progress as quickly as possible.

In the evening, she kept her promise and left work early.

Before leaving, she habitually decontaminated herself entirely.

Due to the nature of her research, she was concerned about carrying bacteria on her body and transmitting it to her children, so she would disinfect herself thoroughly every time she left the research center.

Jean was waiting for her outside.

When he saw her, he stepped down from the car and naturally held her hand.

“The little ones can't wait anymore. They wanted me to pick you up and make sure you don't get lost in your work and forget the time,” he said.

Neera chuckled. “They really don't trust me, do they?”

Jean raised an eyebrow. “When you get absorbed in your work, you tend to lose track of time. They have a point.”

The two of them shared some laughter as they got into the car.

Ian respectfully greeted her, “Mrs. Beauvort,” and then drove them back to the estate.

It had been more than ten days since the triplets had last seen their mother.

Hearing the commotion outside, the three little ones rushed out and tumbled into Neera's embrace.

“Mommy! You're back! We missed you so much!” they exclaimed.

Neera was enveloped in their warmth and love, her heart melting. She crouched down and kissed each of their little cheeks.

“I missed you too. Did you have fun with King?”

Penny was about to nod when Sammy corrected her, shaking his little head vigorously.

“No, no, no, Mommy! We didn't go to play. We learned so much from Master!”

Neera smiled warmly. “That's great to hear.”

After greeting her, the three little ones sweetly and easily called out, “Daddy.”

Adriana joined them, laughing and teasing.

“They're already calling you that? You're not even married yet! Taking advantage of my niece, huh?”

The three little ones blinked their bright eyes and cleverly shifted the conversation to Chad.

“It's not taking advantage, Grandaunt. We're even calling him Granduncle!”

Chad chuckled, pretending to ponder the situation. “Hmm... I guess that's fair. But why do I feel like I've aged a lot being called that? It makes me sound like I'm in my seventies.”

He was only in his forties, and with proper care, he looked like he was in his thirties.

The three little ones were incredibly adorable as they all nodded in unison.

“Granduncle, you're so young; how could you be old? This is just a respectful title. In our hearts, you'll always be handsome, and Grandaunt is beautiful. You're a perfect match. We know you're getting married, so we want to wish you a blissful marriage!”

Their sweet words melted everyone's hearts, and laughter filled the room.

After dinner, King had to leave for some business.

Jean had wanted to have a conversation with Neera, but the three little ones beat him to it.

“Mommy, can we sleep with you tonight?”

“It's been so many days since we saw you, and we have so much to talk to you about.”

Neera couldn't resist their pleas, and she agreed with a loving smile.

After all, she had missed them dearly too.

The relaxed and joyful mood continued into the next morning but came to a sudden halt as Neera arrived at the research center to start her day's work.

A coworker rushed up to her, looking flustered.

“Nancy, something's wrong. Vanessa is in bad shape. Her boyfriend just brought her in. You need to see her quickly!”
