    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 toote 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 be hoarse from sobbing.


    “Chad, did you see? Neera’s body is covered in so many wounds, all red and inmed. 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 nket. 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


    been taking care of her meticulously. She hasn’t suffered the slightest bit of injustice, let alone physical


    harm. I can’t even bring myself to scold her. I’ve always treated her as if she were my own daughter,


    raising her with tenderness. I don’t know how a delicate and refined woman like her can endure this


    torment. How much pain and helplessness she must have felt at that time? Yet, she still persevered…


    It’s all my fault. If only I hadn’t fainted at that time and protected her, kept her from being taken away by


    those people, maybe she wouldn’t have had to suffer like this. I would rather it had been me they took


    so I could bear all this pain instead and prevent them fromying a finger on her! I feel so regretful and


    useless, like I couldn’t do anything…”


    “Adriana, calm down. If you keep crying like this, you won’t be able to bear it.” Chad was also deeply


    distressed.


    On one hand, he felt sorry for Neera, and on the other hand, he was heartbroken for Adriana. He was


    at a loss on how tofort his wife.


    When he received the pews, he was shocked and scared, too.


    At that moment, he couldn’t care less about anything else. Without a word, he hurried back.


    When he rushed back from afar, travel-worn, and saw Adriana safe and sound, he felt a great weight


    lifted off his shoulders


    On his way back, he was nearly driven mad with worry. He had no idea about her condition, whether


    she was injured or if she was scared. Merely overthinking was enough to drive him insane.


    Therefore, he deeply understood how Jean felt at that moment.


    If it were Adriana who had been tortured, he dared not imagine what his own emotional state would be.


    He couldn’t even begin to imagine the terrible things he might be capable of doing. “Adriana, you must


    understand that what has happened cannot be changed. Don’t me yourself like this. Neera wouldn’t


    have wanted you to take all the me if she knew what you’re saying right now. Moreover, if you were


    taken away, she wouldn’t be able to bear it. This isn’t your fault. You’ve already done very well.”


    “No, it’s not okay. What I’ve done is far from enough. Looking back now, I feel like such a failure. As an


    aunt, I failed to protect my own niece. I watched as she was taken away, allowed her to face such great


    injustice, such immense harm…”


    Adriana was extremely fragile at the moment. Her mind was filled with Neera’s incident and the


    dreadful state thetter was in upon returning. She was deeply immersed in self-me and guilt,


    unable to calm down.


    She med herself and med those who had hurt Neera. She even directed some of that me


    toward Chad. “It’s all because of you. I told you from the beginning that I didn’t want her to be the


    head of the Gordon family. I was worried that she wouldn’t be able to handle it. However, you


    stubbornly imed 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 a stepte. Perhaps Neera… I’m not even sure if she could


    appear before me again! Why did you insist on making her the head of the Gordon family? It’s all your


    fault. All because of the decision you made. If anything happens to Neera, I… I will never forgive


    you…”


    As she spoke, Adriana punched him lightly, but her fistscked strength, and the force she exerted was


    soft and gentle.


    She hung her head helplessly, her crying intensifying in sorrow. “What should I do if something


    happens to her…”


    Chad’s heart ached deeply. He quickly pulled her into his embrace, not dodging at all, allowing her to


    vent her emotions. “It’s my fault. Indeed, it’s my fault. The decision I made back then, looking back at it


    now, was indeed inappropriate. It was myck of thorough consideration that put her in danger. You’re


    right to me me, and I’m ming myself too.”


    Even if Adriana didn’t me him, in reality, Chad was already harshly ming himself in his heart.


    Every time he thought of Neera lying in bed lifelessly, he hated himself. He questioned himself why had


    he been so impulsive, making such a foolish decision.


    Even if he loved everything rted to Neera, he shouldn’t have ced such a heavy burden on


    Neera’s shoulders.


    Because of him, she became a thorn in many people’s side.


    Chad thought, Adriana is right. It’s all my fault. I was too impatient..
