The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1373

Outside the door, Neera wore a complex expression. Her hand moved away from the doorknob, and she hesitated to enter.

She came over intending to check on Frederic, not expecting to hear such words.

“Mommy, aren’t we going to see Grandpa?” Penny tugged at Neera’s hand, asking in a soft, adorable voice.

Neera was momentarily stunned. She looked down at them, then shook her head. “No need, it sounds like your grandfather is in good spirits. Let them be alone for now. We should head home.”

Penny blinked her moist, large eyes, exchanged glances with her brothers, and then obediently nodded. “All right, let’s go home. We haven’t seen Auntie Zuniga since we got back. We kind of miss her.”

The family of four, mother and children, chatted as they walked. Then they ran into Joseph, who had hurriedly arrived at the hospital entrance.

Neera greeted him. “Joseph.”

Joseph smiled. “You’re leaving, Neera?”

“Yes. Mr. Frederic is in good spirits. There’s nothing for us to do here, so we’ll head back. The kids haven’t changed their clothes in days.”

Joseph nodded, his gaze falling on the triplets. He smiled as he crouched down to interact with them. “Go home and rest well. When there’s time, I will take you out to play.”

The triplets obediently and cutely responded, “Okay, Uncle Joseph. You have to keep your word. Pinky promise.”

Joseph was amused and laughed. He reached out to make a pinky promise with each of them.

Then, he stood up, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, “Are you still upset with Aunt Wrenn and Mr. Frederic?”

Neera hesitated for a moment, then said lightly, “It doesn’t matter anymore. What’s done is done. Regardless, they are Jean’s closest relatives, his parents.”

Joseph smiled faintly. “I understand that some wounds, once inflicted, are not easily healed. However, since you left Kingsview, Aunt Wrenn has truly changed a lot. She’s been feeling guilty. Though she’s strong-willed and not one to cry easily, recently, she’s been shedding tears for a long time, feeling depressed. She feels she has let you down, regretting her actions. Your return this time has made her very happy, and she’s very grateful.”
