The scene pierced through Avery’s heart. 

He closed his eyes briefly as he turned aside, choosing not to witness their affection.

Neera didn’t notice his presence. Looking at Jean, she suddenly burst into tears, then laughed before crying again. Her alternating between laughter and tears was heart-wrenchingly poignant. 

“They all said you wouldn’t return and Bartitsu Guild was sending someone to eliminate you. They said I would never see you again. My heart was about to break. I was so scared, scared that something would really happen to you. The mere thought of that possibility… brought me to the verge of collapse. But thank goodness… thank goodness you came back alive. Thank goodness you’re okay…” 

Slightly choked up, she spoke intermittently in a hoarse voice. 

Upon hearing her speak, Jean felt as if every fiber in his body was in pain. 

He never would have guessed that the first thing Neera would say upon waking up was that. 

He never imagined that her concern for his safety far exceeded her own survival. 

Neera, why are you such a fool. 

His heart ached beyond words. Again and again, he tenderly kissed her, soothing her emotions as well as his own. 

It wasn’t until Neera accidentally touched her wound while moving her fingers that she couldn’t help but hiss in pain. Hearing her soft cry, he forced himself to calm down. Standing back up, he told her not to move around and pressed the nurse call button. 

It was only at that moment that Neera realized there was another person standing beside her bed. 

“Mr. Cox? You…” Her eyes were filled with disbelief, even forgetting her embarrassment. “Why are you here? Is this… is this Lordsworth Estate?” 

Hearing her call his name, Avery finally turned to look at her, shaking his head. “No, this is Bartitsu Guild. I heard you were injured, so I came to see you. I’m glad you’re awake. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do…” 

His words trailed off before he finished, as he couldn’t bring himself to finish his sentence.  Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Neera, however, was too preoccupied to care about these things. She paused for a moment, then started to become anxious. 

“H-how can you return to Bartitsu Guild on your own? The guild will surely try to kill you if they see you! It’s very dangerous for you here. You should leave as soon as possible. It’s best not to linger. Otherwise, if the people from the guild find out, they will definitely try to harm you!” 

Avery paused for a moment, his half-lowered eyelashes trembling imperceptibly. 

Then, he comforted her with a gentle voice, “It’s not as serious as you think. Don’t worry. Besides, I didn’t come here alone. I came with the Medicina family.” 

Upon hearing this, Neera was taken aback. “From the Medicina family? So… Mr. Medicina is also here?”

Avery nodded. “Yes, Caleb came to see you before going back to prepare medicine for you. After I heard about it, I went to see him and came here with him.” 

“Preparing medicine…” Neera was surprised to learn that even Caleb had arrived. She shifted her gaze, curiously looking at Jean. 

The latter nodded with a calm expression. “Mmm-hmm, news of your injury and the attack on the Gordon family has already spread throughout Phison. Caleb came to see you after hearing about it. You’ve been poisoned with a frost poison, causing a persistent high fever. He’s the one who prepared the medicine for you.” 

Neera was taken aback by what she heard. After taking a moment to digest it, she finally understood what was going on. 

“Frost poison… The condition is likely caused by me soaking in icy water for too long. It’s not an incurable disease, so don’t worry.” 

Jean nodded. “Mmm-hmm.” 

As they were talking, the nurse and doctor walked in, closely followed by Chad and Adriana. 

Seeing Neera awake, Adriana was overjoyed. She rushed over excitedly, grabbing Neera’s hand. Tears fell once again, as she simply couldn’t hold herself back from crying. 

“My goodness, Neera. You nearly scared me to death…” 

Seeing her, Neera was filled with delight. She tried to sit up, her face full of concern. 

“Aunt Adriana, are you okay? What happened after you fainted yesterday?” 

Adriana gently stroked Neera’s face and hair, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks. 

“You silly girl, I can’t believe you’re worrying about me. Look at me, I’m perfectly fine. But you, do you know how worried I was about you? You really scared me. Does it hurt? You must have been terrified at that time. On my dear Neera…” 

As Adriana spoke, she embraced Neera, crying uncontrollably as if the latter had just escaped from the jaws of death. 

Neera felt a mix of warmth and bitterness in her heart. She pitied herself, yet she also felt fortunate to be alive and see so many of her loved ones safe and sound. 

She comforted her aunt, “I’m fine, Aunt Adriana. I was a bit scared at the time, but fortunately, Jean came to rescue me. See, I’m awake now. Please stop crying. Your eyes are all swollen. You must have cried a lot these past few days.” 

At that moment, Chad stepped forward, his smile one of immense relief. 

“Neera, you’re finally awake. If you hadn’t woken up, your aunt inight have cried out her eyes.’ 

Neera reluctantly curled the corner of his lips. After comforting Adriana, she once again asked about what happened after she left the day before. 

Neera reluctantly curled the corner of his lips. After comforting Adriana, she once again asked about what happened after she left the day before. 

However, Adriana did not immediately respond to her. “We’ll talk about this later. First, let the doctor examine you to see if there’s anything wrong. If you feel pain or discomfort anywhere, tell the doctor. Don’t bear with it alone, understand?”
