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 to come 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 relaxed.
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 to
compromise. “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 place 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 you
come back?”

Neera chuckled. “The doctor said I could come 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, a layer 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 glanced at her phone, so she was completely oblivious to whatever was
happening outside.
The men exchanged glances, but it was Chad who broke the silence.
“Bartitsu Guild shifted all the blame onto a few families under its command, claiming complete 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 planned 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 to completely 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 place, so her eyes lit up at the suggestion. “Sure. I’m in good health. I can handle it,”
Then, they began to make plans.
“When the time comes, 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 place, no one can blame 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 cold laugh, a chilly glint flashing 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...”
