lan’s expression turned serious. “What we can confirm now is that the Cox family indeed has a hidden armory. However, we cannot confirm the smuggling of arms just yet. Nevertheless, these two accusations are firmly directed at the Cox family. Furthermore, the Gordon family is also implicated. Some members of the Gordon family have been apprehended by the guild, resulting in a significant weakening of their status and power within the guild.”
Neera felt alarmed and asked, “What about Aunt Adriana and Uncle Chad?”
lan quickly reassured her, saying, “Mrs. Beauvort, please do not worry. Both Mr. Gordon and your aunt are safe, and there is no major upheaval at the Gordon residence. The individuals who were arrested are distant relatives. The guild does not dare to take drastic action against the Gordon family yet, as there is no concrete evidence to prove their involvement. It is merely a preliminary suspicion. I believe the guild may be doing this intentionally.”
Undoubtedly, the guild’s purpose was to suppress the Gordon family.
The earlier liveliness had now been replaced by a serious atmosphere.
The thought of her aunt still being in Phison made Neera restless.
“Jean, I want-” She turned around to express her thoughts.
Jean understood what she had in mind and nodded before she could finish. “Hmm, let’s return to Phison together.”
“lan,” he commanded, “prepare everything. The sooner we depart, the better.”
Upon receiving the order, lan immediately set out to carry it out.
Neera felt a bit guilty and said, “Perhaps it would be better if I go alone. You should stay here with the children. Dad is still recovering, so it would not be appropriate for you to leave abruptly.”
“There is nothing inappropriate about it.” Jean stood up, walked over to her side, and gently ruffled her hair, as if comforting a child.
“Do not worry, I will call my parents shortly. They will understand. Besides, I would not be at ease if you were to go alone.”
Neera still worried and said, “But your health cannot handle it either. You have been pushing yourself for two days since you returned, working non-stop without any rest. I am worried about you.”
As Jean curved his lips, his handsome features looked captivating. “You worry about me, and I worry about you too. Let us not discuss this further. I will accompany you, and with you by my side, I am sure my health will not be an issue. Besides, I have been taking the medicine you have been making for me recently, and my health is improving day by day. It will not be long before I am fully recovered.”
At that moment, the triplets came over, tilting their heads up to look at their parents with eager eyes.
“Mommy, please let Daddy accompany you. If you go alone, none of us will feel at ease.”
“Exactly, Daddy and Mommy need to be together.”
Harvey, being very sensible, took charge proactively.
“Mommy, Daddy, do not worry. We will not cause any trouble and will stay here. I will take good care of my younger siblings. We will also keep Grandpa and Grandma company.”

The triplets, each more sensible than the other, brought a sense of comfort to Neera.

Before long, the two adults had packed their bags, and with the three little ones in tow, they set off for Beauvort
Manor.
Upon hearing that the two were planning to return to Phison, Frederic and Wrenn did not object. Instead, they expressed their support in a very understanding manner.
“Go ahead. Things are more urgent over there, and you are clearly needed. You do not need to worry about things at home. I will take good care of the children for you.”
Frederic narrowed his eyes and nodded. “That’s right. I am almost fully recovered. Do not worry about me. Go ahead and take care of your own matters.”
Neera nodded before advising Frederic on a few things to pay attention to during his recovery.
lan swiftly arranged everything. In less than half an hour, their flight route was approved.
Time was of the essence, so without further delay, the two set off on their journey.
Just before stepping out of Beauvort Manor’s main gate, Wrenn suddenly called out to Neera.
“Coincidentally, when Jean’s father was in the hospital, I went to the church to pray for you. Yesterday, when I went to church again, I obtained a protective charm for you. It is not something valuable, but if you carry it with you, it can keep you safe.”
Neera lowered her gaze, looking at the amulet nestled in her hand. Her face remained expressionless, but there was a slight stir of emotion within her heart. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Beside her, Jean casually remarked, “These are just superstitions, Mom. You have received an education in science. Why do you still believe in this?”
Wrenn choked a bit, then said annoyingly, “I am just worried and desperate, so I am willing to try anything. Besides, your father really did get better. Although it was all thanks to the doctors and Neera, I still need to show my gratitude. That is why I went. Having an amulet is better than not having one, right? I am not asking you to pray, so why are you complaining?”
Jean slightly raised his eyebrows and extended his hands toward her. “What about mine?”
Wrenn glanced at him, her tone mysterious. “I know you do not believe in superstitions, so I did not get one for you. You will have to hope for the best.”
Jean was rendered speechless.
“Oh, by the way, remember to take good care of Neera. If anything happens to her, you might as well stay there and not come back,” Wrenn added.
Jean was once again left speechless.
