Female Novel
Chapter 1069
Neera understood the concern that Willard had for her, and she knew that his words made sense.
However, some things could only be resolved by finding peace within oneself.
No matter how much rationality one possessed, it could never outweigh emotion.
At that moment, she didn't comment on the topic at hand. Instead, she started joking around with him. “The thingthat brings me the most joy right now is visiting your café, where I can enjoy an unlimited supply of pastries.”
“So that's why you've been waiting for me all along.” Willard was amused.
On the side, Leila readily agreed. “That's easy. From now on, whenever Neera wants to come, she can eat asmuch as she wants!”
After spending some time together, Leila and Neera had become quite familiar with each other.
Leila felt both gratitude and admiration toward Neera. Thus, her attitude toward Neera became increasinglyfriendly and affectionate.
Neera laughed as she high-fived Leila. “All right, it's settled then! No backing out!” novelbin
Seeing her cheerful demeanor, Willard couldn't quite gauge her thoughts. He didn't say much more, simplyhoping that she had a plan in mind.
After seeing Willard off, Neera planned to find some time to visit Avery and see how he was doing.
Sure enough, before she could leave the research center, she ran into Gerald's family.
Gerald was still in his patient's uniform, clearly full of energy.
He had just returned from a stroll in the garden with reddened cheeks, one hand holding his father's, the other hismother's.
Upon seeing Neera, the boy's eyes lit up. He ran towards her, taking the initiative to greet her. “Neera, you'rehere!”
Neera gazed at this radiant smile. As if infected, she also smiled while ruffling his hair.
“Yeah, I'm here. Long time no see, Ged.” As she spoke, she straightened up and greeted Gerald's parents, saying,“Since we've run into each other, let me take Ged for a check-up.”
Naturally, his parents had no objections. “Thank you.”
After checking the boy, Neera happily informed the couple about the situation. “Ged is doing great. His recoveryis going very well. The residual poison in his body has been almost completely cleared. He should be able toreturn home for recuperation soon.”
“Really? That's great!” Gerald's parents were overjoyed and couldn't contain their excitement.
The boy was also very excited, happily shaking Neera's hand as he held onto it.
“Neera, it's all thanks to you that I could recover. I really can't thank you enough!” After he finished speaking, hestarted to act coy again. “It's been a long time since I've seen Sammy and Harvey. Neera, may I visit your homeand play with them?”
That boy had been plagued by illness since childhood. Apart from his parents, his daily companions were variousmedicinal soups. He had no friends at all.
Ever since he went there for treatment, he gradually became familiar with the triplets, and they had a great timetogether.
Neera smiled. Naturally, she wouldn't refuse. “Sounds good. Let's have the final treatment tomorrow, and then wecan head straight there. I'll make sure Harvey and the others take good care of you.”
“Yay!” Gerald jumped up excitedly. “Thank you, Neera!”
Peter felt a surge of gratitude in his heart and expressed his thanks once again. “During that period, I've reallycaused you a lot of trouble. I truly appreciate your—”
Neera laughed heartily. “Please, no need for such formalities. I'm just doing what I should. Seeing Ged gettingbetter brings me joy.”
Peter nodded enthusiastically, patting Gerald's little head. “We'll visit your home tomorrow. Then we'll prepare toreturn to our country.”
Neera had no objections. “Sure. You've been away for quite some time. There must be a lot of things at home thatneed your attention. You must be eager to get back, right?”
She only asked casually, but Peter replied, “No, it's not that. Mr. Frederic has had a serious car accident. We needto go back and check on him.”
Upon hearing that, Neera was taken aback. “He was in a car accident? When did this happen?”
Seeing her surprised expression, Peter was taken aback. “You didn't know about this? I thought you were aware.It was why Jean didn't come over with you.”
Neera didn't have the energy to explain or know how to start. She simply skipped the topic and anxiously asked,“How is Mr. Frederic doing now? What's the specific situation? Nothing serious, right?”
Peter patiently answered all her questions one by one.
After listening, Neera had no mood to chat about anything else. She immediately made a phone call to Isabella!
