Averyâs condition had finally stabilized completely.
For this, both Rio and Ronald were extremely grateful.
Neera smiled. âGiven the close relationship between our two families, thereâs no need for such formality. All we need to do next is to ensure he takes his medication regularly. His condition will gradually improve, and he will stay conscious for longer periods. In about three to four days, he should fully regain consciousness.â
Violet finally felt at ease, sweetly saying, âNeenie, your medical skills are still so impressive!â
With a gentle smile, Neera handed her the medicine and then departed.
Jean was waiting outside, ready to take her away.
On the way back, he casually asked, âHow is Avery doing?â
Neera said in a relaxed tone, âHeâll be fine. He just needs to take his medicine on time, and his energy will be back to normal eventually.â
âOh? Does that mean you donât have to visit him every day from now on?â
Thinking he was just being jealous again, Neera blinked her eyes and cooed at him, âNo need for that.
From now on, I can spend the whole day with you, the kids, and my aunt and uncle. Does that make you happy?â
Jean raised an eyebrow. âYes, Iâm happy now.â
Then, he casually suggested, âIn that case, why donât we go somewhere else to relax?â
Neera pulled out a piece of chocolate from her snack bag, looking at him curiously as she asked, âWhere are you planning to take me this time? You didnât buy another island, did you?â
Jean was amused by her. âNo, I was just thinking that weâve been in Phison for so long, yet there are still many places we havenât visited. It would be a pity not to see the sights.â
âDo you already have an idea of where to go?â
âYeah. Since you arrived, youâve been staying in Bartitsu Guildâs district. How about we take a stroll in District Ten?â
Neera was taken aback. âDistrict Ten? But thatâs the territory of Lordsworth Estate. Iâm currently the head of the Gordon family and a member of Bartitsu Guild. Isnât it inappropriate for me to enter the sphere of influence of Lordsworth Estate?â
Just the thought of going over there had her inexplicably feeling a bit nervous.
âNo, no, what if something dangerous happens? Itâs better not to go. Letâs just relax in Bartitsu Guildâs district. I⦠Iâm a bit scared by the overt and covert power struggles in Phison.â
Watching her shake her head vigorously, Jean couldnât help but laugh.
âWhy do you react as if youâve seen a ghost at the mention of Lordsworth Estate? Is it really that terrifying? Have you forgotten that they have helped you before? Moreover, the lord is someone you once saved. He has always wanted to repay your kindness and has always taken great care of you and the Gordon family.â
After some thought, Neera was still somewhat hesitant.
âThe people at Lordsworth Estate are quite nice, but Iâm still a bit nervous. After all, I represent Bartitsu Guildâ¦â
âThink about it. Have the Medicina and other families in Lordsworth Estate ever antagonized you because youâre from Bartitsu Guild? Also, in all the time youâve been here, have you ever heard or seen any internal strife within their ranks?â
After some thought, Neera shook her head. âNo, I havenât. Mr. Medicina and his team have been very good to me too.â
Jean controlled the steering wheel with one hand while gently running his other hand through her soft hair strands.
âThere you have it. Youâre going there not for business, but simply for leisure. Thereâs no need to be so tense. Thereâs no rule that says people from two different factions canât visit each otherâs territories.â
While it was one thing to say it, in reality, not stepping into the other partyâs territory was an unwritten rule, perhaps even a custom.
After hearing this, Neera relaxed quite a bit. She hesitated for a moment longer before agreeing.
âAll right, letâs head to District Ten then. But for this matter, we still need to consult Uncle Chad and Aunt Adriana to see if they agree.â
Jean smiled faintly. âAll right.â
Upon hearing that Jean planned to take Neera and the children to District Ten for a vacation, a meaningful glint flashed across Chadâs eyes.
He didnât object and agreed quite quickly.
Nonetheless, Adriana was somewhat worried. âIs this really okay? Even if the people from Lordsworth Estate donât mind, what about Bartitsu Guild? Wonât they overthink it?â
Upon hearing that, Neera suddenly realized that was indeed an issue and immediately became hesitant again.
At this moment, it was Chad who stepped forward to speak.
âNo worries. Even Bartitsu Guild doesnât have the right to restrict personal freedom. Besides, no one would be foolish enough to choose such a conspicuous way to travel if they wanted to collude with the enemy. Go ahead, relax. Your previous two trips were affected by other matters. This time, you donât have to worry about anything. Iâll hold down the fort for the Gordon family, and things are going smoothly with Shane. Even if there are any troubles, we can handle them with ease.â
As he spoke, he playfully teased Neera, jokingly saying, âIâve been running the Gordon family for so many years, after all. Thatâs not for nothing.â
Neera laughed, feeling relieved.
Hence, the next day, Jean took Neera and the three little one left District Fourteen, and flew toward District Ten.
On the plane, Neera was lost in thought. If I happen to run into that mysterious lord of Lordsworth Estate, I can properly express my gratitude.
Then again, thatâs unlikely. I donât even know what he look be standing before meâ¦
Four hours later, the plane landed.
like. I definitely wouldnât recognize him even if he were to Jean first took them to the hotel and handled the check-in procedures.
After the triplets entered the suite, they looked around in excitement before running to the floor-to-
ceiling windows. They pressed their faces against the glass, gazing down from the thirtieth floor at the entire District Ten.
âWow! This place is incredibly beautiful! Itâs a completely different style from District Fourteen! Itâs more artistic and even more luxurious!â
âThis hotel is so unique!â Penny admired the artificial hill and pond in the spacious living room, which had goldfish swimming inside it. She was absolutely delighted. âThis is so creative!â
