Adriana's words served to convince Neera, who thought it was a good idea as well.
“We can go back, but what about Uncle Chad?”
Chad wrapped his arm around Adriana's shoulder, laughing as he said, “Wherever your aunt goes, I naturally follow. I won't leave her side for the rest of my life.”
Adriana's cheeks flushed a rosy hue as she nudged him with her elbow. “Why are you saying these things to a child?”
Chad raised an eyebrow. “Neera is already grown up now. There shouldn't be anything I can't say to her. You're just too shy.”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh at his remark, making Adriana's face even redder. However, the curve of her lips kept rising higher and higher.
Neera nodded. “All right, let's all head back then. I'll arrange everything on this side as soon as possible tomorrow, and then we'll set off.”
“Yay! We're going back home!”
The little ones jumped up cheering, absolutely thrilled with joy.
The next day, Neera made another trip to visit Avery.
“It seems you've taken my advice to heart. Your health has improved, and you're gradually recovering.”
She withdrew her hand from taking his pulse and said with a smile.
Avery chuckled. “How dare I not listen to you? What if you get upset and decide to ignore me? What would I do then?”
The words, though appearing like a joke, seemed to carry another deeper meaning.
Neera lowered her eyelashes slightly, pretending not to understand. She didn't pick up on that topic and instead changed the subject.
“I'm heading back to my country this afternoon, so I came to see you in advance. It's also a good opportunity to discuss a few matters.”
Upon hearing that she was returning to her country, the smile on Avery's face faltered momentarily.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and when he spoke, his voice was steady, betraying no emotion. “Why the sudden decision to return home? Will you come back?”
Neera chuckled. “How could I not come back when your illness is not yet cured? As for returning to my country, it was a last-minute decision. I plan to handle some matters there. It should take about a week or so, then I'll be back. I'll continue treating the wug in your body then.”
Upon hearing this, a faint glimmer sparked in Avery's eyes, and his heart settled back into his chest.
He flashed a smile again, saying half-jokingly, half-seriously, “Well, it's a deal then. You must come back. Otherwise, I'll be left all alone.”
Neera nodded politely. “Don't worry.”
Then, she gave the attending physician some instructions and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Avery suddenly called out to her again.
Neera turned around. “What's the matter? Is there anything else?”
Avery smiled as if it was nothing, saying, “It's not a big deal. I just want you to bring me back some good tea leaves. Could you?”
Neera nodded with a smile. “Sure.”
In the evening, the family set off, boarding the plane bound for Kingsview.
Several hours later, the plane landed.
Stepping out of the airport, Neera felt somewhat dazed, staring at the sight before her that was both strange and familiar. It felt as if she had been away for a very long time.
“Neera, you all should go back first. Chad and I will visit the elders.”
“All right then. Take care on your journey,” Neera wished them.
Jean spoke up from the side. “Aunt Adriana, Uncle Chad, please take this car. The driver will take you there.”
Seeing that he had already prepared everything in advance, Adriana smiled with relief. “Jean, thank you for taking our matters to heart like this.”
There was a gentle and warm look in Jean's eyes when he replied, “We're all family here, so no need for such formality.”
Soon, Adriana and Chad got in the car and left.
Neera and Jean led the three little ones to the other car and drove off in the opposite direction.
Returning to the long-missed Imperial Gardens, the triplets got out of the car, their excitement evident as they scampered on their short legs toward the courtyard.
Meanwhile, the three dogs also picked up the scents of their owners. They barked excitedly and rushed out with enthusiasm.
Before long, the mixed group of children and dogs was rolling around in the grass happily.
The three dogs had gained quite a bit of weight, and with their fluffy coats, they were incredibly adorable.
Seeing this scene, Neera couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Upon hearing the commotion, Zuniga also came out. Seeing them, she was overjoyed.
“Ms. Garcia, Mr. Beauvort, you're finally back. I thought you weren't coming back!”
Neera stepped forward and gave her a hug. “How could that be? Thank you for taking care of the house all this while.”
Zuniga was both shocked and delighted, repeatedly waving her hands.
“It's nothing. How's your aunt doing? Is she feeling any better?”
“There's no major issue. She's on the mend.”
“That's good to hear. Your aunt is such a wonderful person. She will surely be safe and sound.”
After she finished speaking, she quickly turned to the side to help carry the luggage.
“You've been on the plane for such a long time, so you must be exhausted. Rest up first; I'll get the meal ready right away!”
Upon entering the villa, Neera looked around at the familiar surroundings. The feeling of disorientation gradually faded, replaced by a sense of warmth and comfort.
Jean gently pinched her fingers. “Would you like to go next door and have a look?”
Neera chuckled. “What's there to see? Isn't it all the same?”
That being said, she still went next door with Jean.
Richard was quite thrilled when he saw the two of them.
He had been taking care of things here, so nothing had changed.
Neera stepped into the study and saw the Clivia she had given Jean. It was well taken care of, which made her smile, her eyes curving in delight.
“Richard really does take care of this home thoroughly; even a pot of flowers doesn't escape his attention.”
Jean hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.
“Before leaving, I specifically reminded Richard to take extra care with these flowers. Everything else could break or die, but this had to survive, no matter what.”
Seeing him putting so much importance on everything related to her, Neera felt absolutely delighted.
