Chapter 982 Hard To Calm Her Down

Upon hearing that, the old lady immediately frowned, scolding unhappily. “Edward, how can you be so disrespectful and talk nonsense? This is your aunt!”

Edward was scolded and felt a bit embarrassed. He glanced at Neera resignedly, hoping she wouldn’t mind.

Neera didn’t really care, simply saying, “Since you’re here, I’ll be taking my leave now.”

Edward nodded, immediately stepping forward to assist the elderly lady.

The old lady immediately panicked after hearing that Neera was planning to leave. She pushed away Edward’s outstretched hand away and hastily grabbed hold of Neera.

“Baby girl, are you leaving me again? We finally reunite, so please don’t go. Stay with me, please…”

Her emotions surged again. Tears were rolling down her wrinkly cheeks, and her voice was breaking more and more with each word she spoke.

Neera felt a faint headache as she was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to stay or to leave.

Seeing the situation, the middle-aged man finally snapped back to reality.

In his eyes, a trace of shock still lingered. He murmured, “No wonder Mom mistook someone else for her…” Then, he faced Neera properly. “Ms. Garcia, my name is Jeremiah Park. I have a sister, but she left home many years ago. Over the years, my mother has been constantly searching for her. She fell ill a couple of years ago, and sometimes, her mental state is unstable. You really resemble my sister when she was young. That’s why my mother thought you were her.”

Neera was taken aback for a moment, but then she understood. No wonder, upon seeing me, this old lady was so certain that I was her dear child. “That’s quite the coincidence, but unfortunately, I’m not.”

Jeremiah nodded, his eyes filled with regret and a sense of loss. “I’m truly grateful for your help this time. If it weren’t for you, my mom might have gotten lost, and I wouldn’t even know where to start looking. Ms. Garcia, you are a benefactor to our entire family. May we know your full name? You’ve done us such a great favor this time. No matter what, we must express our deep gratitude to you.”

Neera didn’t think much about it and cheerfully said, “My name is Neera Garcia, and I don’t need thanks. It was just a simple act of kindness. Anyone else, upon seeing an elderly woman all alone, would have done the same.”

As soon as she uttered those words, the father and son were stunned, their eyes filled with surprise.

Not because of her generosity, but because of her name.

“Neera? May I be so bold as to ask how you spell your name?” asked Jeremiah.

“N. E. E. R. A. Neera,” answered Neera.

When the two men heard those words, their expressions changed instantly.

Neera was puzzled. “What’s wrong with my name?”

Jeremiah looked somewhat dazed, shaking his head absentmindedly. “No, it’s nothing…”

Although Neera felt something was off about them, she didn’t dwell on it. She simply responded, “I see. I have some things to attend to, so I really must be going. She’ll be in your care, then.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the old lady’s grip on her tighten even more.

Sighing in her mind, she looked at the old lady and met the latter’s anxious and eager gaze. I guess I’ll have to lie to her. “I have some urgent matters to attend to right now, so I must leave. Can you please go home with them first? I’ll be back to see you soon.”

”

The old lady’s eyes reddened as she shook her head vehemently, refusing to release the younger woman no matter what. “Baby girl, don’t go. Don’t leave me again. Come home with me…”

Seeing that scene, Jeremiah could only step forward, placing a hand on the old woman’s shoulder, gently persuading her. “Mom, she still has to go to work. If you keep this up, she’ll be late to her job. Didn’t she tell you once she’s done with her tasks, she’ll come to see you right away? We should go back first and wait for her, okay?”

The old lady hesitated for a long while before reluctantly releasing her grip. “Baby girl, you must come home quickly. I’ll be waiting for you at home. Don’t keep me waiting too long…”

Neera breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the old lady with a hint of apology. The latter’s gaze was filled with reluctance and anticipation. Neera bid the old lady farewell without promising or refusing and left the room.

However, before she could get in the car, Edward chased after her. “Ms. Garcia, please wait a moment.

Neera paused and turned around. “Mr. Park, is there anything else?

Edward looked a bit troubled but still asked, “I’m sorry, but can I get your contact number? I know it’s a presumptuous request, but…”

At that point, his voice took on a hint of bitterness.

“To be honest, my grandmother’s mental state is sometimes no different from that of a child. When she gets upset, it’s really hard to calm her down. It gives our whole family a headache. We’re also afraid of saying something inappropriate that may hurt her feelings. No matter what we do, we never seem to replace a good solution. If it’s not too inconvenient for you, can you to video call her occasionally?”
