Female Novel
Chapter 1072
After a brief moment of contemplation, Neera shook her head and politely declined, “Thank you for yourkindness, but it's not necessary.”
Although she still didn't understand the specific situation regarding Phison, she wasn't a fool either.
One could easily tell the election for district president was definitely not that simple.
“I'll discuss this matter with Uncle Chad when I get back. If the Gordon family really can't back out, then we mayas well participate. It's not like it's something we can't do,” said Neera.
Seeing her say that, Avery said very naturally with a glimmer in his eyes. “Don't be afraid. If you're going toparticipate, you can attend with me. Rest assured. With me around, no one will dare to harm you or even thinkabout it.”
Who would dare to lay a finger on him, given his status as the head of the Cox family?
Upon hearing those words, Neera was slightly taken aback.
A feeling of discomfort surfaced within her heart.
She had a vague feeling that those words were a bit too intimate.
As such, she responded with a light cough and a distant tone. “Thank you.”
Avery smiled. “There's no need to be so formal with me.”
Neera would rather not dwell on that topic. Clearing her throat, she turned to ask the elders questions. “When is
this election taking place? When should I go?”
“You'll have to set off at the beginning of next month,” said one of the elders.
“I see.” Neera nodded thoughtfully.
The two elders were deeply worried and asked, “Ms. Garcia, is Mr. Cox's current health condition suitable fortravel? Will it be too much for him? What about the wug inside him? Can it be dealt with before we set off?”
They were worried that Avery's body wouldn't be able to hold up.
Phison was an extremely ruthless place where might was right.
The Cox family had many adversaries. It was inevitable that mishaps would occur. novelbin
Neera was full of confidence. “Don't worry, there won't be any issues. Once the wug leaves the body, it willquickly perish without a host. His body will suffer some damage, but I will prepare the right medicine for hisrecovery. While he may not be able to regain his original state immediately, he will still be able to move freelywithout any problems. No one will be able to tell anything.”
Upon hearing that, the two elders were overjoyed and repeatedly expressed their gratitude. “Ms. Garcia, you trulyare a miracle doctor! Mr. Cox is truly fortunate to have your assistance in treatment. We are immensely grateful toyou. Thank you so much. Mr. Cox owes you a debt of gratitude.”
Listening to the two elderly people addressing her respectfully, Neera felt somewhat embarrassed.
“Please, there's no need for such formality. You both are too kind. I am a doctor, and it's my duty to heal and save
lives. Besides, the Cox and Gordon families have been close for generations. Mr. Cox and Uncle Chad are goodfriends. In fact, Uncle Chad has repeatedly urged me to do my utmost to cure Mr. Cox. How could I not give itmy all? Thankfully, the treatment has been effective, and I can report good news to Uncle Chad,” Neera said witha smile.
Avery had been staring at her, and his smile was gradually fading.
How could he not understand the meaning behind those words?
Neera clarified that her dedicated treatment toward him was due to the relationship between the two families andChad's request.
As for her, she had no thoughts about him whatsoever.
She was so clever. Though she seemed to be chatting with the elders, she was saying that for Avery.
The joy in his heart subtly faded, and his eyes dimmed slightly, revealing a complex and indecipherableexpression.
Neera didn't notice, nor did she have the mind to pay attention.
She hoped that Avery's thoughts would end there. Then, she returned return after resolving the matters at hand.
After dinner, she called Chad and her aunt into the study, informing them about her plans to travel to Phison.
Upon hearing the news, Adriana was overwhelmed with worry.
She just couldn't feel at ease about the matter, regardless if Chad or Neera was the one who went.
Chad pondered for a moment, then asked for Neera's opinion.
“Let me do it.” Neera had already made up her mind.
“Firstly, since I am the successor of Gordon Group, I should shoulder some responsibilities rather than avoidingthem. Secondly, I also need to consider Avery's health condition. At present, he hasn't fully recovered and stillneeds some time. As his chief physician, it'll be better for me to accompany him. This way, I can prevent anyunexpected situations.” After a pause, she held Adriana's hand and smiled. “Thirdly, and most importantly, I don'twant you to go through any more trouble. I know that if Uncle Chad goes, you'll definitely follow. Thus, it's betterthat I go. You've finally found happiness, and I hope you can stay with Uncle Chad, always happy, never apart,and without any worries. Just live your life peacefully.”
