The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1462

He had long since secretly vowed that he would live and die for Chad.

The latter’s command was the sky.

Throughout the years Zephyr spent with him, no one else had ever given him such warmth aside from Chad.

That was, until the appearance of Neera.

At first, Neera was nothing more than a mission Chad assigned. But gradually, it ceased to be a task and instead became an instinct.

After all these years, Zephyr was receiving warmth from a second person.

In his heart, there was now one more person for whom he could live and die for.

Hence, after Neera was taken away, he had been filled with such intense guilt.

But now, listening to Neera’s words, Zephyr was momentarily at a loss. He didn’t know what kind of emotions he should be feeling or how to face her.

Just as he was hesitating, unsure of what to do, Neera laughed and said, “Oh, there’s one more thing I need to thank you for.”

Surprised, Zephyr instinctively responded with, “Huh?”

Neera smiled gently and said, “Thank you for still being alive. I’ll need you to keep protecting me in the future, so you need to recover quickly. Here, this is a medicinal ointment I made myself. It’s much more effective than anything you can buy on the market. If you use it, your wounds will heal much faster.”

After she finished speaking, she placed the ointment on the bedside table and waved her hand. “All right, I won’t bother you anymore. You should rest well. The Gordon family will be making some big moves in the next couple of days, but don’t worry about it. Once we get to Lordsworth Estate, things will be much more peaceful.”

Having said that, she turned around to leave.

At that moment, Zephyr seemed to have found his voice again as he abruptly stopped her. “Ms. Garcia, please wait a moment.”

Neera turned around to shoot him a puzzled look. “What’s wrong? Is there something else?”

Zephyr stared at her with the same earnestness in his eyes as when he first looked up at Chad, a sincerity that was as deep as the sea.

“Thank you, Ms. Garcia. I will become stronger in the future, and I won’t let you suffer even the slightest harm.”

Neera smiled slightly. “If you protect me, I will protect you too. Don’t be foolish in the future and keep insisting on taking punishments. Since Uncle Chad assigned you to me, I am your superior. Without my permission, no one can touch you. Do you understand?”

Zephyr felt a deep sense of satisfaction from the trust and favoritism he was receiving, and he nodded emphatically in response.

After returning to her room, Neera let out a sigh of relief.

Jean was waiting for her in the room. Seeing her, he asked, “Why were you gone for so long? Is Zephyr all right?”

Neera nodded. “He seems to be doing okay and recovering well. I was worried he might be troubled, so I gave him a few words of advice.”

Jean raised an eyebrow. “Your top priority right now is to take care of your health. Nothing else matters. Come on, time to drink your medicine.”

Upon hearing that she had to take medicine, Neera reluctantly trudged over, dragging her feet along the way.

“Do I have to? This medicine is so bitter. What is it even made of?”

Jean chuckled. “Aren’t you a doctor? How can you complain about the medicine being bitter?”

Neera corrected him, “I am indeed a doctor, but that doesn’t stop me from disliking the bitterness of medicine.”

process.

Jean gently blew on the medicine before handing it to her, casually ruffling her hair in the “Why do I get the feeling that you’re becoming more and more pampered as time goes by?” he remarked.

Neera held her breath as she forced the medicine down, her eyebrows furrowing at the bitter taste. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Before she had a chance to say anything, suddenly, a piece of candy was popped into her mouth.

When Jean withdrew his hand, his fingers lightly grazed her lips. He then added, “Then again, my woman can never be too spoilt. I’ll always indulge you.”

Neera’s heart blossomed with joy, and she forgot all about the bitterness of the medicine. Her mouth was filled with the sweet taste of fruit, leaving her feeling delighted inside.

After taking the medicine, she took a nap. When she woke up, it was already dark outside.

The room was empty. She shook off her drowsiness, turned over, and picked up her phone. Only then did she notice several missed calls.

Without exception, they were all from the three little ones.

She perked up instantly, quickly sitting up, but then she hesitated. Though she initially wanted to call them directly, she put down her phone and headed to the bathroom instead.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she sighed with a sense of defeat.

In her current state, it was feally not suitable to video call with the children.

The imprint of a slap still lingered on her face, and the wound at the corner of her mouth had yet to heal.

If the triplets were to see me like this, they would surely worry and might even end up crying.

Emerging from the bathroom looking rather dispirited, Neera threw herself onto the bed, feeling Somewhat listless.

After adjusting her mood, she returned the little ones’ call but didn’t turn on her camera.

On the other end, the triplets had been waiting for quite a while. As soon as the phone rang, they hurriedly scrambled to answer it.

“Mommy! You’re awake. We tried calling you, but you didn’t answer, so we had to call Daddy. He said you’ve been busy these past few days and finally got to rest, so he told us not to disturb you. Are you feeling more refreshed now?”

Upon hearing the lively voices of her children, Neera’s mood involuntarily brightened up.

She curved her lips into a smile, hummed in agreement, and went along with Jean’s lies. “Don’t worry. I feel much better after taking a nap. What are you guys up to?”

The little ones, not at all suspecting anything, started chattering away, sharing with her the interesting happenings of the past few days.

Hearing their interactions with the elders of the Beauvort family, Neera’s eyebrows slightly lifted. “It seems you all are getting along well with your grandparents.”
