Upon hearing this, Jean held her even tighter, burying his face in her shoulder and taking a deep
breath.

The subtle scent that was uniquely hers filled his nostrils, gradually calming the tumultuous emotions in
his heart.
The sun had fully risen, its rays shining through the window and filling the room with light.
By the time Adriana and Chad arrived, Neera and Jean had already started having breakfast.
“Oh, you’re awake.” Adriana was surprised. “I thought you were still sleeping. I didn’t dare toe too
early, afraid I might disturb you.”
As she spoke, she lowered her gaze to the thermos in her hand, finding herself in a dilemma.
Neera smiled. “Aunt Adriana, what delicious food have you made for me? Let me taste it quickly. I
finally have an appetite, but I still prefer your cooking the most.”
Hearing her say this, Adriana’s heart blossomed with joy, and her brows rxed.
Once the meal was finished, Neera found it hard to stay any longer and wanted to leave the hospital to
return home.
At first, Adriana disagreed, but she couldn’t resist the continuous pleading. Seeing that Jean didn’t
object either, she had topromise. “This isn’t something we can decide on our own. We have to
listen to the doctor. If the doctor gives the green light, then we can go home. If not, you’ll have to stay in
the hospital for further observation.”

Neera nodded vigorously. “Okay. The doctor said yesterday that observing for a day should be enough.
I haven’t had a fever again, so I should be fine.”
The doctor arrived promptly and, at Jean’s request, performed a full body check-up on Neera.
After confirming that she had no major issues, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief.
“You can go home to rest now, but remember to take care. Apply medicine to the wound on time, avoid
strenuous exercise, and take your medication as scheduled. If you feel unwell in any way, make sure to
come back for medical attention promptly.”
Jean meticulously noted everything down before taking Neera back to the Gordon residence.
When Neera got out of the car, she found herself feeling a bit dazed.
When she left this ce previously, it was a scene of chaos with people fighting everywhere.
In just a couple of days, everything here had returned to its previous state, as if the revolt had never
happened at all.
Neera walked in, just in time to run into Chad and Shane, who were about to leave.
“Uncle Chad, Shane, are you guys going out?”
Seeing her, both of them were somewhat surprised and said, “We were just about to visit you in the
hospital. Why have youe back?”

Neera chuckled. “The doctor said I coulde home to recuperate, so I did. I didn’t want to stay in the
hospital. Home is always better.”
As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Shane. “Shane, you’re back.”
Shane nodded, carefully examining her several times, ayer of tenderness welling up in his eyes.
“Look at you, all battered and bruised. Come in quickly.”
Neera entered the house with them while asking concernedly, “How are Districts Twenty-One to
Twenty-Five now? Has everything been taken care of?”
Shane nodded. “Yes, don’t worry. The explosion issue has been resolved, and this time, we have
arranged for someone to keep an eye on things there. There won’t be any more problems.”
Next, Neera asked, “What about the Gordon family? What does Bartitsu Guild say?”
These past couple of days, she hadn’t so much as nced at her phone, so she waspletely
oblivious to whatever was happening outside.
The men exchanged nces, but it was Chad who broke the silence.
“Bartitsu Guild shifted all the me onto a few families under itsmand, imingplete
ignorance. They’re deluding themselves into thinking they can wash their hands clean of this.”
Neera had already anticipated this possibility. Upon hearing it, she was not surprised at all, a cold smirk
appearing on her face.
“That cunning old fox, Matthew, had all of this nned out from the start. But I think the fact that the
Gordon family came out unscathed this time must have really annoyed him.”
“Naturally. He was determined topletely uproot the Gordon family this time. Unexpectedly, not only
did he fail to eradicate us, but he didn’t even manage to eliminate any key members. I bet he’s now at
his wit’s end, wondering how to clean up this mess.”
At this moment, Chad said, “Bartitsu Guild cannot be allowed to exist any longer. The opportunity we
have been waiting for has arrived. Now is the perfect time to leave. Neera, I just discussed this with
Shane, and we’ve decided we’ll take action in the next couple of days to leave Bartitsu Guild. You can
go there to recover from your injuries. Is that all right?”
Neera had long wanted to leave this ce, so her eyes lit up at the suggestion. “Sure. I’m in good
health. I can handle it,”
Then, they began to make ns.
“When the timees, Bartitsu Guild will definitely try every possible means to stop us. They won’t let
us leave easily, and even if we do manage to leave, they won’t allow us to take with us the district
president’s power, which is what they care about the most. They will undoubtedly force us to hand it
over,” Shane said, a slight frown creasing his forehead.
Neera was unfazed. “No worries, we have valid reasons to leave. The Gordon family has suffered this
disaster through no fault of our own. If we want to leave Bartitsu Guild and go to a safe ce, no one
can me us. As for the position of district president? Hah! It originally belonged to the Gordon family.
What does it have to do with Bartitsu Guild? They have no reason to take it away!”
“True as it may be, considering the shamelessness of Bartitsu Guild, they will surely find a way to spin
it in their favor.”
At that moment, Jean suddenly let out a coldugh, a chilly glint shing in his eyes. “No matter how
much Bartitsu Guild wants to deny its involvement, what’s done is done. Any action taken will always
leave traces…”
