The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 963

After Eugene and his team left, Neera also planned to leave.

Upon noticing that, Adriana quickly called out to her. “Where are you going? You've just recovered, so don't go running around.”

Neera held onto Adriana's arm, leaning against her as she explained, “I'm going to visit Mr. Saunders. His treatment was delayed because of my allergy issue. Given the huge favor he did for me this time, I feel it's only right for me to personally pay him a visit.”

Adriana acknowledged Neera's good intentions but could not help worrying about her. “Neera, I haven't seen you take a break ever since you returned to Essley, and you're always bustling about. If you don't care about yourself, I still do. Look at you, you've lost weight recently. Look at your face now—it's even smaller than a palm. How can I be at ease seeing you like this?”

Neera's heart warmed when she realized a family member still cared for her.

“Aunt Adriana, don't worry, once I've finished dealing with these important matters, I will definitely take a good rest.” She rested her head on Adriana's shoulder. “I won't go anywhere, I'll just stay at home and keep you company.”

Adriana knew that once Neera made up her mind to do something, there was no way to change her mind. “All right. You don't have to coax me with your sweet talk. You better go now. I'll look after the children.”

The three triplets, too, were sensible. They obediently said, “Mommy, you go ahead with your work. We'll take good care of Grandaunt.”

Neera smiled gently, gave each of them a kiss, and then prepared to leave.

Jean offered to escort her, and the two of them left the room together.

King also came out with them.

“You're leaving so soon?” Neera asked King.

King nodded in response, casually saying, “I've been working on developing a program recently. It's at a critical stage, so I need to go back and keep an eye on it.”

“All right.” Neera nodded in understanding. “I appreciate your help in looking after the kids these past few days. Thank you. I'll treat you to a meal sometime soon.”

King shook his head nonchalantly, then abruptly changed the subject. “Do you need my help to teach the person who stabbed you in the back a lesson?”

Neera casually brushed away the strands of hair that had fallen onto her forehead, grinning nonchalantly. “That won't be necessary.”

King did not insist after seeing her response.

However, once he returned home, he entered his study, logged onto his computer, and hacked into the internal system of the Jones Group.

Even though Neera would have preferred not to trouble him, he could not just let it slide so easily. No matter what, we must give them a good thrashing to vent our frustrations!

His hacking skills were, of course, excellent, to say the least. In his presence, any firewall was rendered ineffective, utterly incapable of stopping him.

It was the same with the Jones Group. He broke through with such ease as if he were entering unclaimed territory.

Originally, he just wanted to teach them a lesson by crashing the system.

Yet, by sheer accident, he stumbled upon an obstacle.

That ignited his competitive spirit, and at that moment, his fingers began to rapidly dance across the keyboard.

The opponent's interception was like an impenetrable net, descending from the sky and covering the earth.

His relentless attacks were like razor-sharp blades, each one striking at the very heart!

Ten minutes later, he finally breached the core, unexpectedly uncovering the secret files of the Jones family.

All of these were formulas for forbidden medicines!

King may not know much about medicine, but having known Neera for so long, he has picked up a thing or two. He was even familiar with the names of some medicinal herbs.

A portion of what was inside the medicines was not beneficial ingredients, but rather, it was poison.

Above all, some were marked as “wug pest!”

King could not help but ponder. Isn't this what Neera has been researching recently?

After a quick skim, he made a snap decision and copied everything.

Next, he erased all traces of his intrusion, leaving no evidence of his presence, and exited the Jones Group's network system.

After completing all of that, he packaged the content he had just copied into an email and sent it to Neera's inbox.

Neera was still unaware of that matter.

At that moment, she was at Willard's café.

Willard sized her up, expressing his concern. “You've fully recovered? Are you sure you're all right now?”

Neera nodded. “Yes, thanks to your prescription. This time, I came not only to treat you but also to express my gratitude.”

“You don't need to thank me.” Willard waved his hand and said frankly, “After all, I come from a family of ancient medical practitioners. How could I possibly stand by and watch someone die? Besides, I didn't really do much. It was just an old family remedy. Moreover, the reason I helped you was out of my own self-interest. So, let's not be overly formal, shall we?”

Neera enjoyed conversing with people who were straightforward.

She responded with a chuckle. “I guess what you said made sense. Don't worry, I will do everything I can to ensure your recovery.”

After that incident, she made a silent vow to herself—she would do whatever it took to nurse the elderly man back to health.
