Chapter 1038
Edward was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. “Why are you doing this, Mom? You can't just set your son up likethis...”
I was supposed to bring Neera home, but how did it end up with the whole family being whisked away, leavingme all alone?
Nadine blinked, her face full of innocence.
“How can you call this a trap? We've entrusted the entire Park family to you. This is trust, my son. Do your best.I'm cheering for you!”
Edward was rendered speechless.
Wow... I'm so touched.
He didn't even know how to argue back.
However, the thought of his grandmother's health improving gave him a sense of relief, making him feel that itwas all worth it.
“All right. When I have some free time, I'll fly over to see you all.”
Nadine gently patted his shoulder. “Okay, my son is so sensible. I'll remember to send you more pictures ofbeautiful scenery and delicious food later.”
Edward was at a loss for words once again.
Wow... Thank you, then!
Neera was so amused that she couldn't help but laugh. She said, “Edward, my cousin, don't worry. I'll take goodcare of Uncle Jeremiah and Aunt Nadine. Once you join us, I'll make it up to you.”
Edward finally heard her call him “cousin.” His eyes instantly lit up, filled with immense satisfaction.
“Look at that. My cousin is the one who truly cares for me.”
The whole family was filled with joy, a happiness that even Jean couldn't resist. A smile involuntarily curled up atthe corners of his lips, his gaze constantly falling on Neera's face.
Seeing her look his way, his gaze softened even more, his smile as warm as a spring breeze.
After some time, Mariah woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Neera sitting by her bed. She sat up happily.
“Baby girl, you really didn't leave. You really stayed to keep me company...”
Neera smiled gently, tenderly smoothing Mariah's hair for her.
“Indeed, I promised you, didn't I? I'm definitely not going anywhere.”
Then, she asked, “Would you like to go out with me now?”
Mariah's eyes were bright, filled with excitement and curiosity.
“Going out for fun? Where to?”
“Well, let's not discuss that now. It's a secret. You'll find out once you get there.”
Right after Mariah heard it was a secret, her curiosity was piqued even more, and she nodded enthusiastically.
“Let's go. As long as my baby girl is with me, I don't mind where we go. I will always be with you...”
So, Neera decided to take her to the research center, with Nadine and Edward following along.
“Baby girl, I remember this place. It's where you conduct your research, isn't it? Weren't you supposed to take meout for fun? Why have we come here?”
After getting out of the car, Mariah followed her inside, all the while observing and asking questions.
While they were talking, Neera had already led her to the door of the examination room.
She pushed the door open, then truthfully informed, “Indeed, I can take you out for fun, but only after we finishthe check-up.”
Mariah peered inside, seeing nothing but stark white everywhere, which made her a bit scared. She tightened hergrip on Neera's hand.
“Baby girl, I don't want to go in...”
Neera comforted her, her arm around Mariah's shoulders. “It's okay. Don't be scared. I'm here with you. It's just a
medical check-up, and it will be over soon. Trust me.”
Mariah looked at her with a mix of trust and skepticism, then peered inside. In the end, she didn't resist anyfurther. novelbin
Under Neera's persuasive coaxing, a comprehensive physical examination and targeted tests were all carried out.
The results came out quickly. After looking over the test report, Neera felt a bit more at ease.
“Granny's health isn't in serious trouble. With proper care, she will gradually recover. As for her memoryconfusion and inability to recognize people, it's likely related to some mental health issues. However, medicationcan assist in her recovery.”
After she finished speaking, she rummaged through the medicine cabinet in her office and handed Nadine severalboxes.

Once we're back in Essley, I'll find time to give Granny needling treatment. With this approach, herrecovery is completely assured.”
