The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1447

Adriana also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Chad.

“Adriana, don’t go in just yet. You’ve had quite a shock, and you need to rest. Once you’ve regained some strength, it won’t be too late to visit her then.”

However, Adriana shook her head. “How can I rest at a time like this when Neera’s in this state? I’m so worried. I don’t even know how she’s doing right now and if there are any other injuries to her body. No, I must go in and see her, stay with her. Otherwise, I simply can’t put my mind at ease…”

After she finished speaking, she turned around to go upstairs.

Chad sighed, pulled her close, steadied her by the shoulders, and made her face him. “Adriana, at this moment, Jean probably doesn’t want to be disturbed. His mood is quite bad, and he seems very down. For now, let’s just let him be alone with Neera. We shouldn’t bother them.”

Adriana paused, her eyes suddenly reddening. Large tears began to roll from her eyes, tracing a path down her face.

She shed many tears already, yet no matter how much she cried, it seemed endless. Her voice had even become hoarse from sobbing.

many wounds, all red and inflamed. They must hurt terribly. Just now, Jean wouldn’t let me get close to Neera. He must have seen the wounds when he was helping Neera change clothes. There must be even more signs of beatings on Neera’s body, which is why he hurriedly covered him with a blanket. He must not want me to see, afraid that I would feel heartbroken, so he deliberately didn’t tell us and didn’t let us see. He loves Neera so much. How heartbroken must he be after seeing those wounds…” The more she spoke, the more fiercely her tears flowed. “Even though she had a tough childhood, not having been pampered or loved properly, she never experienced hardships like these! Since I brought her abroad and kept her by my side, I have

blamed herself and blamed those who had hurt Neera. She even directed some of that blame toward Chad. “It’s all because of you. I told you from the beginning that I didn’t want her to become the head of the Gordon family. I was worried that she wouldn’t be able to handle it. However, you stubbornly claimed that she could manage and insisted on helping her take this position! Look at her now. Look at what she’s been reduced to! It’s all because she came to Phison, joined Bartitsu Guild, and became the head of your Gordon family. She has been targeted by so many, faced hostility, and repeatedly found herself in dangerous situations. It was the same when she went to Mount Cloud to attend the district president selection. Now, she’s been hurt like this again. The consequences would have been unthinkable if Jean had been
