Chapter 774

Chapter 774 He Will Only Make Her Life Worse Than Death Neera didn’t want to let her past memories overwhelm her and affect her mood, so she dragged them away from the hospital and left.

After that, the triplets took Jean to many more new places, all of which were related to their childhood and occupied their memories.

Later that night, Jean felt a little overwhelmed.

Even though he didn’t mention it, Neera could tell that he was getting tired. So she suggested to go home.

The triplets agreed understandingly, and took Jean back to the car.

During dinner time, Osbert came bearing gifts.

When he saw Neera, he winked at her and asked: “Were you surprised? Were you touched?”

Neera raised her eyebrows. “Yeah, I was very surprised. You have really learned to do first, think later, huh? You didn’t even bother to tell me about something so big! You’ve really become more courageous lately, I see.”

She then playfully narrowed her eyes on purpose, as if to pretend that she was unhappy with him.

Osbert knew that she was just teasing him, but he still cooperated anyway and raised both his arms to seem like he was begging for forgiveness.

“Forgive me, Neera! I had no choice! Jean was pining for you day and night, and made up his mind to come see you. Not even ten cows could pull him back!”

Neera saw how ridiculous he looked and let out a laugh while she patted his head lightly.

“Alright, alright. I’m just teasing you. Come and have a seat.”

She then asked about the development of the research that was happening in Kingsview, and then changed the topic. “Have you gone to visit Mr. Hanson after you got here?”

Osbert nodded. “Yeah, I have. I even saw Thora.”

He hesitated before speaking again.

“Mr. Hanson had acted too cruelly this time. Her injuries were so bad that she had to be sent to the hospital when I visited them this morning.”

Just as he said that, Jean walked by and asked curiously. “What happened?”

“Hey, Jean.” Osbert greeted.

He then looked at Neera. “You haven’t told him?”

She nodded. “We didn’t have the chance to after he got here. Plus, we went out almost the whole day today.”

She then explained everything that happened with Thora to him, from the moment she found her, sent her back to the Hanson house, and her getting punished.

“She did this to herself. There’s no need to pity her.”

Jean wasn’t going to sympathize with her naturally.

If it wasn’t for Neera’s sake and not to make things difficult for her, he would only make that woman’s life worse than death if it were up to him.

He was extremely gracious to let things come down to this/

Dinner ended an hour later.

Before Osbert left, he pulled Neera aside to tell her some stuff in private.

“Neera, there were a bunch of people that visited Thora in the hospital. I caught a glimpse of them just as I was about to leave. They looked very shady. I overheard them talking about someone from way/?

their end being injured, so they came to find trouble from Thora. But then I heard her give them your name…”

Neera had her guesses as she listened to him.

The bunch of shady people probably had something to do with John, who was injured at the Midnight Bar the other night.

She didn’t react expressively, she was neither surprised nor anxious. “Okay, I got it.” She replied calmly.

“Who are they? Why is Thora dragging you into this?” Osbert couldn’t help but worry.

“It’s nothing, they’re just a bunch of her stupid friends. Don’t worry.”

Neera didn’t want Osbert to worry about her, so she casually shrugged it off.

Osbert could tell that she didn’t want to divulge about it too much. He hesitated, then said his goodbyes.

Just as he left, Jean came up to her.

“What is it?” He asked.

Neera didn’t tell him either, and only said smilingly: “It’s nothing. Just some stuff about research.”

Jean looked at her deeply without asking about it more.

Not long after, Neera used urgent work as an excuse to head into the study room, and got Zephyr to come in as well.

“What is it, Ms. Garcia?”

Zephyr knew that something was up.

Neera didn’t beat around the bush, and asked him straight up.

identity?”

“Do you know about John’s true Last time at the bar, she heard that Thora had mentioned about John’s dark background. But she didn’t know just how dark it was.

Zephyr had done some investigating after they had gotten home from the bar. So he reported his findings as per her request.

“John’s father is the leader of some unknown underground organization with a very complicated background. On the surface, they do business, But in the dark, they deal with very shady things. They even dare to do anything. Now that his son had his arm injured, I’m sure that they won’t just sit around.

I’m guessing that they will find trouble with you.”

Neera sneered. “They already did. They went to find Thora this morning, and she already told them about me. I’m guessing that they’ll come find me not long after. Do you have any idea on how to settle this?”

She didn’t care about how she would end up.

But she cared about Mr. and Mrs. Hanson, her aunt, her children, and Jean.

If she messed up, they could be easily dragged into this.

She didn’t want any bad thing to happen.

Zephyr didn’t seem to take this matter seriously at all, his tone was also a bit sarcastic.

“They’re just a puny little group. I can make them disappear in just an hour. Don’t worry, Ms. Garcia, leave it to me.”

Neera hesitated for a bit, and asked: “Are you… going to confront them with weapons?”
