The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1396

Nadine let out a sigh. “Actually, this is also a good thing. The sooner she recovers, the sooner we can find peace of mind. This is reality, something we have to face sooner or later. There is no obstacle in life that cannot be overcome. She was mentally disturbed before because she missed your mother too much. But in reality, she is stronger than anyone. Otherwise, how could she have endured the pain of missing her for so many years?”

Neera understood and sniffled. “I just feel a bit uneasy at the moment when I’m not with you guys.”

Nadine gently comforted her. “Silly girl, you have important things to do, and we all understand. Besides, who could have expected that she would recover so quickly? It seems her mental issues are not particularly serious. In fact, when she first showed signs of recovery, we were all quite worried. Your granddad couldn’t sleep for nights on end, staying by her side, afraid that the moment he opened his eyes, she would have run off somewhere again. But none of us expected that she would actually accept it calmly after realizing that Stacy was gone and having a good cry. Perhaps, deep in her heart, she had a feeling all along. The bond between mother and daughter is very strong. Or perhaps it’s because of you. Even though Stacy is gone, you are her biological daughter, a long-lost family member. They couldn’t always protect your mother in the past, but now, even if they are heartbroken, they have to be strong and protect you. Neera, you are the best medicine.”

As Neera listened, tears welled up in her eyes again.

Not wanting to worry her aunt, she covered the mouthpiece, cleared her throat, and then, pretending to be perfectly fine, asked about Mariah’s condition.

“Her spirits are quite good for now, though she’s still devastated. She often cries when she’s alone, but after crying, she’ll look at your picture and manage to regain her composure. There haven’t been any more episodes of mental confusion, and she hasn’t tried to sneak out on her own. Don’t worry. I’ll continue to give her the medication. Once her mental condition is completely stable, we’ll see if it’s time to stop the medication.”

Neera felt a bit relieved. “That’s good, then.”
