The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1448

Moreover, he was fully aware that Neera was the target of envy and hatred, yet he didn’t provide her with adequate protection in time, which led to her suffering such significant harm.

All of this calamity befell Neera solely because of him.

It went without saying Adriana wouldn’t forgive him. In the event any harm befell that girl, even he himself wouldn’t forgive himself, not to mention Adriana.

As Adriana leaned into his embrace, her fists gradually lowered until she wrapped her arms around him, sobbing like a wounded animal.

“Chad Gordon, I hate you to the bones… I hate you…

”

Chad rested his chin on her shoulder, his eyes tightly closed. The weight of regret consumed him to the point that he thought he was going to go mad, yet all he could do was patiently console her. “If it makes you feel better, just hate me. Punish me in any way you want, but rest assured, no matter what happens, Neera will be fine. I will find the best doctor to treat her. I promise you, she will get better…”

While the two were heartbroken, seeking solace in each other’s embrace downstairs, Jean sat alone by Neera’s bedside in the bedroom upstairs. His gaze remained fixed on Neera’s pale face, as if he could never get enough of looking at her.

At that moment, the aftermath of the slap on Neera’s face lingered; her cheek remained slightly swollen, a stark reminder of the recent trauma. It was a disconcerting sight.

Unable to resist, he reached out, his touch a tender caress as if he sought to erase the marks, hoping to alleviate her pain.

His movements were delicate, as though he feared causing her any further harm.

When he was far away in District Twenty-One and received the news of Neera’s kidnapping, he yearned to grow a pair of wings so he could swiftly return.

The anxiety of that moment was so overwhelming that he wished never to endure it again in his lifetime.

On his journey back, the haunting image of Neera’s sad expression as he departed replayed in his mind.

Suddenly, he found himself despising his decision, questioning why he had to leave.
