The Enigmatic Return novel Chapter 1426

Chapter 1426 

Neera struggled to open her eyes, only to see a glass of ginger tea in front of her. 

“You… made this?” she asked weakly. 

Jean gave a hum of affirmation. “Don’t worry. It’s not too hot. Drinking it will warm your stomach.” 

Neera leaned against him as if she had no bones in her body and drank half of it from the glass in his hand. 

“Ugh… Too much ginger. I don’t want to drink it anymore…” 

Jean didn’t force her to finish it either. He placed the glass on the bedside table and handed her a piece of tissue to wipe her mouth. 

After downing half a glass of ginger tea, Neera shivered slightly. Only then did she feel as if she had come back to life, gaining a bit of strength. 

She clutched her abdomen, curling up sideways in the man’s arms. 

She murmured aggrievedly, “The day hasn’t even arrived yet, but somehow it came early. It’s so annoying. I’m not happy…” 

Jean kissed the top of her head. “Perhaps the stress is too much. It will get better after a while.” 

After he finished speaking, he asked her to lie down. He touched her foot, feeling its icy coldness. A frown creased his forehead, and he simply decided to keep holding her feet to warm them. 

Seeing Neera half-opening her eyes, looking at him weakly, he comforted her in a gentle voice, “Close your eyes and sleep. The pain will be gone soon. I’m here.” 

Neera nodded and closed her eyes. After a while, she fell asleep. 

When she woke up again, the sky was already bright. 

She raised her hand to shield her eyes, then reached out to find that there was no one beside her. 

Clearly, Jean had been up for quite a while. 

After adjusting to the dazzling sunlight, she glanced at the time and was surprised to find it was almost 

eleven o’clock. 

I can’t believe I slept for so long… 

She sat up. There was a lingering discomfort in her lower abdomen. However, compared to last night, it was already much more bearable. 

Her menstrual cycle had always been very regular, but this time it came much earlier than expected. 

She let out a soft sigh, muttering to herself, “It seems the stress has really been too much lately.” 

Having gathered herself together, she descended the stairs. 

She had assumed everyone would be downstairs, but to her surprise, there was not a single person in the living room.

“Huh? Where is everybody?” 

She stopped a maid who was passing by and asked curiously, “Why is everyone not around? Where have they all gone?” 

The maid’s expression was somewhat solemn as she respectfully responded, “Ms. Garcia, something happened to the Gordon family. They-” 

Before she could finish her sentence, Neera immediately interrupted her, “Something happened to the Gordon family? What happened?” 

An ominous premonition bubbled up from the depths of her heart. 

Could it be the Bartitsu Guild… 

However, before the maid could respond, the sound of the door opening echoed from the living room. 

As Neera turned around, she saw Jean and Chad, among others, walking in. 

She quickly approached them, asking anxiously, “What happened? Did the Bartitsu Guild make a move? What did they do?” 

The expressions on their faces were far from pleasant, especially Shane, who looked exceptionally grave. 

Judging by the look on his face, it must not be an ordinary matter. 

Realizing this, Neera became even more anxious inside. She felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless pit, continuously sinking. 

Jean pulled her along, heading toward the couch, and sat down. “Calm down.” 

Neera frowned. “How can I calm down? What kind of problem has the Gordon family encountered? It must be serious if it required all of you to take action, and you’re only just returning now.”
