Female Novel
Chapter 1086
The next day, Neera took Penny to Amanda's place after breakfast.
Afterward, she and Chad went to the Cox residence.
Adriana didn't have much to do at home, so she decided to go along.
Osbert and Luigi arrived ahead of them and were entertained by the Cox family in the living room.
“Hi, Neera! You've arrived.”
Upon seeing the person, the two of them stood up to greet her, then politely acknowledged Adriana and Chad.
Neera responded, “Hi. You've been waiting for a while, haven't you? I'm sorry, but there was some traffic on theroad.”
Osbert scratched the back of his head. “No. We just arrived too.”
That day's treatment was much more complex than the previous one for Willard, so Neera preferred to call themboth over to lend a hand.
While they were talking, two elders from the Cox family came over to invite them, leading them to theunderground medical room.
Avery was in good shape, and he personally welcomed the guests at the entrance of the medical room.
His posture was upright, his demeanor extraordinary. Even in a patient's gown, his charm was undiminished.
He always had confidence in his own strengths, and on his handsome face, there was an invincible gentle smile.
The moment he saw Neera, a light unconsciously lit up in his eyes.
Beside him, Violet couldn't help but sigh inwardly as she watched his behavior. How does a perfectly fine personsuddenly get struck by love?
However, upon seeing the two tall men beside Neera, the smile in Avery's eyes instantly faded, his gaze becomingscrutinizing, though his tone remained as usual. “Excuse me, may I know who you two are?”
Neera introduced them, “This is my junior, Osbert, and this is Luigi, Mr. Hanson's assistant. They will be helpingwith the treatment today.”
Hearing that, Avery became less wary, and his tone became gentle once again. “I see. Thank you both.”
After a brief greeting, he no longer paid attention to the two of them, instead turning to Chad and Adriana toexpress his thanks in a warm voice.
Osbert and Luigi were left aside, looking at each other, noticing something. This guy, does he seem to have a bitof a crush on Neera?
Neera didn't notice earlier and asked, “Where's Charles? Bring him over, will you?”
“All right.”
Avery nodded, giving a sidelong glance to the elder next to him.
Rio understood and immediately ordered his subordinates to bring Charles over.
In no time, the old butler, who had been imprisoned and watched for many days, was dragged over.
He looked visibly worn out, his beard unkempt and his appearance disheveled. He appeared quite disoriented, buthe hadn't lost much weight.
His hands and feet were shackled, and every time he moved, the clinking sound of the iron chains echoed.
Neera took a glance at him. Noticing that Avery had indeed followed her instructions and hadn't done anything tothis person, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After withdrawing her gaze, she got to the point. “When the treatment starts later, he will be there too. You guysneed to hold him down. Don't let him struggle.”
The two elders nodded solemnly, their faces tense as if facing a formidable enemy. “Rest assured,” they said.“With us here, he will not get a chance to cause trouble!”
Before long, Neera, with Osbert and Luigi in tow, entered the treatment room and began to prepare.
Osbert felt a tickle of curiosity in his heart. He glanced around and saw no one nearby. Unable to resist, he movedcloser to Neera to seize the opportunity for some gossip. “Neera, does Avery have feelings for you?”
Neera paused for a moment, giving him a blank look. “Stop talking nonsense. What time do you think it is? Youstill have the mind to think about all these irrelevant things. Have you finished preparing for the work?”
Osbert wasn't so easily fooled. “Neera, don't try to evade the topic. Nothing escapes my eyes. The way he was
looking at you just now was clearly off! Neera, you're so popular. Is your husband really okay with you beinghere? What is he thinking? Is he really that confident you won't betray him?”
Neera couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she raised her hand and knocked on his head. “Why are you so nosy?If you keep talking nonsense, be careful. I might have Mrs. Hanson set you up on a blind date!” novelbin
What Osbert feared the most had happened. He was instantly silenced and obediently shut his mouth.
Neera gathered her thoughts and focused on the matter at hand. Once ready, she called Avery and Charles in.
