The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean)

Chapter 1050

Soon, Isabella went upstairs and knocked on the door patiently.

“Neera, it's me. I've come to see you. Can you please open the door? Don't stay inside by yourself overthinkingthings. I'm here with you, and you can tell me everything that's bothering you, okay?”

Seeing no response from inside, she tried a different approach.

“The children are waiting for you outside. If you don't come out, they won't leave either. They're really worriedabout you. Even Penny is crying...”

Inside the room, Neera heard her words but remained unresponsive.

She sat there with a vacant look, motionless, like a lifeless wooden figure. novelbin

After a while, Isabella's mouth went dry from speaking, but she still couldn't persuade Neera to open the door.

Downstairs, the Park family elders couldn't sit still any longer and insisted on going upstairs.

Jeremiah and Nadine, equally concerned, accompanied them.

“Is my baby girl inside?” Mariah asked anxiously as she approached the door.

“Could you please stop hiding inside? Baby girl, I am here. If you have something to say, talk to me, okay?”

Her voice was so gentle it was almost unbelievable. As she spoke, she pressed her ear against the door, trying tocatch any sounds from within.

Nadine followed suit, offering comforting words. “Neera, no matter what, you still have us. We're all here foryou. Please don't lock yourself in. We're all very worried about you. Let us see you, okay?”

Gradually, Gu Ning regained his senses amidst the continuous calls.

In the midst of the repeated calls, Neera finally slowly regained her senses. She heard the comforting words fromoutside and was momentarily dazed, then realized that she wasn't alone anymore.

She had her aunt, her precious children, her grandparents, uncles, aunts, and even her cousins.

She had so many relatives who cared deeply for her.

She wouldn't be as helpless as she was back then. Opening the door didn't mean she would have to face theworld's malice and scorn.

At this moment, sobbing sounds came from outside. The three little ones were crying.

Neera felt her heart being torn apart.

Finally, she reacted, shifting her body to get out of bed. She walked over and opened the door, one step at a time.

The light from the corridor streamed in, revealing countless pairs of eyes filled with concern and worry.

Mariah was the first to rush over and embrace her, choking back tears as she comforted her.

“Baby girl, were you bullied? It's okay. I am here, and I'll protect you. Whoever bullied you, I'll take revenge foryou. Don't be sad, okay? When you're hurting, it hurts me even more...”

The three little ones also rushed over, clinging to her legs, crying so hard they could hardly catch their breath.

“Sorry, Mommy, please don't be mad at us. Please?”

“If you don't want to see Daddy again and don't want us to find him, then w-we won't want Daddy either.”

“Mommy, please don't be sad. We'll be heartbroken...”

Neera's nose stung, and her eyes suddenly became hot and teary. Her vision blurred, and tears streamed down hercheeks.

With her crying, Adriana couldn't hold back her own tears. She leaned against Wrenn, overwhelmed with sadness.

She had taken Neera abroad and adopted her, so she knew her situation the best.

When Neera opened the door just now, her timid and fearful eyes were exactly the same as back then!

She felt heartbroken but didn't know what to do.

Next door, Jean sat in the study, his reddened eyes fixed on the computer screen, which displayed the surveillancefootage from the neighboring mansion.

The surveillance was part of the mansion's security system.

As soon as he had returned, he had accessed the surveillance to see Neera's condition.

Just now, her expression when she opened the door was captured vividly by the hallway's surveillance.

At that moment, his heart felt like it was tightly gripped by an invisible hand, constricting and cutting it openpainfully.

His heart ached.

Later in the evening, Neera's emotions gradually calmed down a bit.

She knew she had scared her family and didn't want them to worry about her, so she forced herself to pulltogether.

“I'm fine now. My mind was just a bit confused earlier, and I needed some time alone. But I'm okay now.”

She wiped away her tears and added, “I'm a bit hungry. I want to eat Aunt Adriana's pasta...”

Adriana nodded with haste. “Alright, I will go and make it for you. I'll make your favorite.”
