The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1160 Lost My Temper

Upon returning to the Gordon residence, the family doctor had already been summoned by Shane in advance.

Once Neera had cleaned the wounds, the doctor first applied medicine to her. After bandaging her up, he went on to treat a few others, including Zephyr.

Avery received the news late at night and immediately rushed over.

Upon seeing her and observing her somewhat disheveled appearance, Avery, for some unknown reason, suddenly felt a surge of anger. “Why didn’t you call me when you were being tracked and cornered? It was such a dangerous situation. I could have rushed over to save you!”

That was the first time Neera had seen him lose his composure. After considering for a moment, she responded calmly and politely. “Mr. Cox, thank you for coming to see me so late. The incident happened so suddenly, and Shane was the only one I could rely on. I didn’t think it was right to bother you in the middle of the night.”

Is Shane the only one she can rely on? What about me? Who am I to her? Avery felt as if a large stone was lodged in his heart, causing unbearable discomfort.

Avery could tell, from Neera’s words, that she was just short of saying he was an outsider. Why is she always like this? No matter when, she always has this cold and distant attitude, as if she’s in a hurry to put a thousand miles between us!

Seeing that Avery’s complexion was off, Shane cleared his throat to remind him, “All right. She’s had a scare. Let’s give her some time to recover.”
