Chapter 757
Neera didn’t know what to say after Chad had finished talking.
She had looked at him for a while. She’s just glad that she felt assured.
This man was truly genuine, just as he said he was. There were no lies and hidden agendas.
After a long period of silence, she asked: “Does my aunt know about all this?”
“Of course, if I can be honest with you, it means that I never hide anything from her.”
This was what Neera cared about most.
This was great. Aunt Adriana didn’t trust the wrong person…
The knot in Neera’s heart was untied, and she felt relieved. At the same time though, she was still trying toprocess what she had just heard.
Chad saw her reaction and smiled gently.
“It’s getting late. I’ll head back to the hospital first. I’m worried about your aunt being alone there. If there’sanything you’d still want to know, you can ask me or Zephyr anytime. I’ll let him know to give you anyinformation you wish to know. He’ll stay by your side for the time being to protect you.”
Neera didn’t refuse his offer. “Thanks, Uncle Chad.”
He was quite relieved to hear that she was willing to call him “uncle” again.
He called Zephyr in the room and ordered: “Please take care of Ms. Garcia for the next few days and obey herwords unconditionally, alright?”
Zephyr nodded.
Chad then left.
Neera looked at Zephyr, not knowing what to ask of him next.
“Alright, go take a rest. I’ll get the maid to prepare a guest room for you.”
She then headed upstairs.
Zephyr watched as her figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, and walked out of the house.
Chad was still here, waiting for him in the car.
Zephyr got into the passenger seat and immediately began his report.
“The person who fired the gun tonight wasn’t one of ours.”
Chad then narrowed his eyes, his tone was much colder than earlier. novelbin
“Find out if they’re trying to harm Neera or to help her. Don’t let anyone hurt her no matter what.”
Zephyr replied: “Yes.”
He then got out of the car and went back inside.

Twenty minutes later, Chad was back at the hospital.
After Adriana saw him leaving in the middle of the night, she felt uneasy and couldn’t sleep.
Now that she saw her lover return, she asked hurriedly: “What happened?”
Chad sighed and caressed her cheek. “Why haven’t you gone to sleep yet, darling? How are you going to takecare of yourself if you don’t get some rest?”
Adriana held his hands in hers. There was an uneasy look in her eyes.
“I’m worried. Did something happen with Neera?”
Chad could sense her restlessness, and he almost started spilling everything out.
“Don’t worry, she’s alright…”
He was scared that he would frighten her, so he didn’t go into specifics. He cherry-picked the less scary details toshare with her.
Then, he couldn’t help but sing praise to Neera.
“Your niece is no less courageous than you. I’ve only heard your praises about her last time, but she really
impressed me tonight.”
Adriana felt relieved, and let out a bright smile.
“That little thing has always been much more brilliant than I have.”
She then asked: “But, are you really going to hand over your business to her?”
Chad smiled gently, and interlocked his fingers with hers.
“We don’t have any children, and Neera is the person who is dearest to us. If not her, her three children would begood options too. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you. I couldn’t care less about anything else.”

She couldn’t help herself and called him on the phone.

“It’s past midnight there, why are you still awake?”

“Hmm?”
Jean’s tone was gentle. “Speak, I’m listening.”
