Chapter 1365

Upon seeing this, Neera couldn’t help but feel somewhat uneasy.

It wasn’t that she was overly concerned about Wrenn, but as a doctor, she always felt uneasy witnessing patients suffer and their families tormented.

This was especially true when those two individuals were closely related to Jean.

In the past few days, she hadn’t spoken to Wrenn, nor did she feel inclined to offer any comfort.

However, in that moment, she noticed that Wrenn’s eyes were fixed intently on the door of the intensive care unit, never looking away. Wrenn’s eyes were filled with hope, anticipation, and a deep sense of longing and worry.

Suddenly, Neera understood the depth of Wrenn’s love for her husband.

Once upon a time, Wrenn had seemed nothing more than a harsh woman in her eyes.

A proud individual who looked down on everything and stubbornly held her own opinions.

At that moment, she found herself having a different opinion of the older woman.

Neera stood at the corner of the corridor for a long time before walking over and clearing her throat.

Upon hearing the sound, Wrenn turned her head in confusion.

“Neera, you’re here,” Wrenn said, flashing a subtle smile, standing up, and pointing to the seat next to her. “Come, have a seat.”

During this period, she had always been polite to Neera.

Neera felt a bit uncomfortable and responded lightly, “No need.”

Wrenn’s expression seemed to freeze for a moment. After a few seconds, she awkwardly nodded. “All right, all right…”

Neera realized belatedly that her subconscious refusal had come across as too harsh.

After a moment of hesitation, she awkwardly explained, “I’ll be leaving soon, so I won’t sit down.”

Wrenn appeared surprised that Neera would initiate a conversation, her expression somewhat delighted. “All right. Do you have anything else to attend to?”

After asking a series of questions, Wrenn wore an embarrassed look on her face. “I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you recently, and for making you tired…”

Neera found it somewhat grating, a slight frown creasing her brow as she interrupted, “It’s no trouble at all. The man lying there is Jean’s biological father. His matters are my matters. I don’t want him to worry.”

“Well, in any case, thank you,” Wrenn said awkwardly, her voice slightly lowered.

Wrenn’s demeanor made Neera somewhat uncomfortable.

Enduring again and again, she didn’t even know what she was thinking. The words just naturally slipped out of her mouth. “You don’t have to be so polite with me. I’m used to the way you were before.

You don’t need to act humbly just because I helped you. Jean would feel uncomfortable seeing that. It’s best if we just converse normally.”

Úpon hearing Neera’s words, Wrenn was taken aback, staring at Neera’s cold expression for quite some time.

Bitterness unfurled in the depths of Wrenn’s heart, and she spoke slowly. “I’m not being humble, I just… want to make amends.”

Neera calmly responded, “There’s no need. What’s done is done, and no one can change that. You don’t need to overthink things now. Just take care of yourself. Mr. Frederic may be heartbroken if he learns how you’ve been doing after waking up. Jean will also feel upset. Even if you don’t do it for yourself, you should consider Jean and Mr. Frederic.”

Wrenn still had a bewildered look on her face, as if she didn’t understand what Neera was trying to say.

Neera frowned deeply, her voice grave as she said, “You sit here every day, unable to eat, barely sleeping, and you’re getting thinner and thinner. Have you ever considered how Jean feels? If Mr.

Frederic doesn’t get better, do you plan to continue like this? Why can’t you think about others for once? Jean is already busy enough. Do you really want to distract him further and add to his burdens?”

Although those words might sound harsh, they were effective.

Wrenn’s expression showed a slight change, but she remained silent for a long time.

Neera crossed her arms, continuing in a cold voice, “Your body is your own. If you wear it down and collapse, no one else can bear that burden for you. When that time comes, it’s not just you who will suffer from illness, but your family will also be tormented. Mr. Frederic has already caused enough worry for everyone. If you insist on causing trouble at this time, I won’t stop you. However, if Jean collapses because of this, I will not forgive you.”

gaze held a Upon hearing those words, Wrenn suddenly stood up, her eyes blazing as she stared at Neera. Her thousand words, complex and hard to decipher.

However, in the end, she didn’t say anything, her eyes just gradually turned red.

She didn’t know how much time had passed. As she cried, she choked back her sobs and said, “I understand now. Thank you, I really appreciate it.”

She understood that Neera was advising her to take good care of herself.

In an instant, feelings of being touched and gratitude intertwined in Wrenn’s heart. Thank goodness she is still willing to talk to me. Thankfully, I still have a chance to earn her forgiveness…

Neera would rather watch her silently weep. It made her uncomfortable, yet she also felt a secret sigh of relief.

She awkwardly averted her gaze, speaking straightforwardly. “No need to thank me. I didn’t do this for you. As long as you understand that, it’s fine. There are medical staff watching over Mr. Fred eric. If anything happens, they will notify you promptly. If you plan to take care of him in the future, you should rest now. I’ve arranged a hospital room for you to rest in, not far from here.”

Wrenn nodded, expressing her gratitude once again. “Thank you.”

Before leaving, she couldn’t help but ask again, “Neera, about the heart matter…”

Neera spoke the truth. “I haven’t found it yet. I’m still asking others to look for it.”

Wrenn bit her lip, nodding with a worried expression, and didn’t ask anything further.
