    Chapter 982 Hard To Calm Her Down


    Upon hearing that, the olddy immediately frowned, scolding unhappily. “Edward, how can you be so


    disrespectful and talk nonsense? This is your aunt!”


    Edward was scolded and felt a bit embarrassed. He nced at Neera resignedly, hoping she wouldn’t


    mind.


    Neera didn’t really care, simply saying, “Since you’re here, I’ll be taking my leave now.”


    Edward nodded, immediately stepping forward to assist the elderlydy.


    The olddy immediately panicked after hearing that Neera was nning to leave. She pushed away


    Edward’s outstretched hand away and hastily grabbed hold of Neera.


    “Baby girl, are you leaving me again? We finally reunite, so please don’t go. Stay with me, please…”


    Her emotions surged again. Tears were rolling down her wrinkly cheeks, and her voice was breaking


    more and more with each word she spoke.


    Neera felt a faint headache as she was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to stay or to leave.


    Seeing the situation, the middle-aged man finally snapped back to reality.


    In his eyes, a trace of shock still lingered. He murmured, “No wonder Mom mistook someone else for


    her…” Then, he faced Neera properly. “Ms. Garcia, my name is Jeremiah Park. I have a sister, but she


    left home many years ago. Over the years, my mother has been constantly searching for her. She fell ill


    a couple of years ago, and sometimes, her mental state is unstable. You really resemble my sister


    when she was young. That’s why my mother thought you were her.”


    Neera was taken aback for a moment, but then she understood. No wonder, upon seeing me, this old


    lady was so certain that I was her dear child. “That’s quite the coincidence, but unfortunately, I’m not.”


    Jeremiah nodded, his eyes filled with regret and a sense of loss. “I’m truly grateful for your help this


    time. If it weren’t for you, my mom might have gotten lost, and I wouldn’t even know where to start


    looking. Ms. Garcia, you are a benefactor to our entire family. May we know your full name? You’ve


    done us such a great favor this time. No matter what, we must express our deep gratitude to you.”


    Neera didn’t think much about it and cheerfully said, “My name is Neera Garcia, and I don’t need


    thanks. It was just a simple act of kindness. Anyone else, upon seeing an elderly woman all alone,


    would have done the same.”


    As soon as she uttered those words, the father and son were stunned, their eyes filled with surprise.


    Not because of her generosity, but because of her name.


    “Neera? May I be so bold as to ask how you spell your name?” asked Jeremiah.


    “N. E. E. R. A. Neera,” answered Neera.


    When the two men heard those words, their expressions changed instantly.


    Neera was puzzled. “What’s wrong with my name?”


    Jeremiah looked somewhat dazed, shaking his head absentmindedly. “No, it’s nothing…”


    Although Neera felt something was off about them, she didn’t dwell on it. She simply responded, “I see.


    I have some things to attend to, so I really must be going. She’ll be in your care, then.”


    As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the olddy’s grip on her tighten even more.


    Sighing in her mind, she looked at the olddy and met thetter’s anxious and eager gaze. I guess I’ll


    have to lie to her. “I have some urgent matters to attend to right now, so I must leave. Can you please


    go home with them first? I’ll be back to see you soon.”


    ”


    The olddy’s eyes reddened as she shook her head vehemently, refusing to release the younger


    woman no matter what. “Baby girl, don’t go. Don’t leave me again. Come home with me…”


    Seeing that scene, Jeremiah could only step forward, cing a hand on the old woman’s shoulder,


    gently persuading her. “Mom, she still has to go to work. If you keep this up, she’ll bete to her job.


    Didn’t she tell you once she’s done with her tasks, she’lle to see you right away? We should go


    back first and wait for her, okay?”


    The olddy hesitated for a long while before reluctantly releasing her grip. “Baby girl, you muste


    home quickly. I’ll be waiting for you at home. Don’t keep me waiting too long…”


    Neera breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the olddy with a hint of apology. Thetter’s gaze was filled


    with reluctance and anticipation. Neera bid the olddy farewell without promising or refusing and left


    the room.

    However, before she could get in the car, Edward chased after her. “Ms. Garcia, please wait a moment.


    Neera paused and turned around. “Mr. Park, is there anything else?


    Edward looked a bit troubled but still asked, “I’m sorry, but can I get your contact number? I know it’s a


    presumptuous request, but…”


    At that point, his voice took on a hint of bitterness.


    ”


    “To be honest, my grandmother’s mental state is sometimes no different from that of a child. When she


    gets upset, it’s really hard to calm her down. It gives our whole family a headache. We’re also afraid of


    saying something inappropriate that may hurt her feelings. No matter what we do, we never seem to


    find a good solution. If it’s not too inconvenient for you, can you to video call her asionally?”
