Chapter 355 Isn’t This a Bit Too Intimate?

Neera rolled her eyes at him.

“He has been suffering from this condition for a long time; how can he recover so quickly? The reason he hasn’t had an episode lately is due to the previous dry needling treatments having some effect, along with the medications I’ve been giving him daily, along with dipping baths and medicated diets. All these factors combined have barely managed to suppress his condition. But this is all temporary; if we don’t treat it in time, I’m guessing he’ll have another episode in a few days.”

“Ah…”

lan empathized as if he were feeling it too, “No wonder Sire found the treatment so painful.”

Neera shrugged, “Compared to the pain triggered during the treatment, what he experienced is considered mild. If he were to have a spontaneous episode, you wouldn’t believe how excruciating it can be. Last time, the scene with him smashing things might happen again.”

Hearing this, lan finally understood.

Sire’s condition had merely improved on the surface; he hadn’t fully recovered. Given the years of illness, if he were to be cured so quickly, Ms. Garcia would practically be a miracle worker!

He then felt a sense of amazement. Despite this situation, Jean had personally gone after Sonny to settle the

score.

His protective husband’s nature was truly on full display!

“Sire, if you ever feel like punching someone, how about you send me instead? You’ve barely recuperated, and you definitely shouldn’t strain yourself!” lan advised with genuine concern.

Thankfully, Sonny hadn’t fought back yesterday; otherwise, the outcome of a physical altercation was

uncertain!

Neera concurred with a nod, “He’s right. From now on, let him handle it, or better yet, let the bodyguards handle it. It takes years to build an army but only a moment to use it. I think they’d be more than capable. As for you, try to avoid vigorous activities like last night; we wouldn’t want you to prolong your recovery.”

Jean listened, mildly amused, “And whom am I doing this for?”

Neera choked, feeling a little embarrassed, “Yes, I know it’s because of me… But I also didn’t expect that Sonny would be so ruthless. Was the Crimea Group founded by bandits or something? They came in like gangsters, acting all domineering. This is the first time I’ve encountered such behavior from a prestigious family!”

Speaking without filtering her thoughts, Neera unintentionally ranted.

Jean’s sharp intuition sensed something off, “Ruthless tactics?”

His gaze grew colder, and he questioned sharply, “Did he do something to you again?”

It was only then that Neera realized she had accidentally spilled the beans.

“Oh, it’s nothing…”

She didn’t intend to make a complaint; she casually mentioned, “He caused some minor trouble for our company, but it won’t affect us much. I haven’t paid it any mind.”

Even though she downplayed it, Jean couldn’t dismiss it from his mind. He had already shown that he was going to protect Neera, and yet Sonny dared to target her? Was he not giving up?

Or perhaps… Sonny didn’t even consider him a threat?

Whatever the reason, it irritated him!

He shifted his gaze subtly and signaled lan with a glance.

lan picked up on the signal and nodded subtly before finding an excuse to leave the room.

Neera hadn’t noticed their exchange of looks or lan’s departure; she thought it was unnecessary. He wouldn’t be able to help much in this situation.

She sat on the bedside and chatted with Jean for a while, and before she knew it, an hour had passed.

After removing the needles, Neera carefully packed them while advising, “You can go for a dipping bath now.”

“Mhm.”

Jean gave a curt nod.

Perhaps the pain had left him weak, for he almost stumbled as he got up.

Neera moved quickly to catch him.

Jean’s weight practically pressed against her.

Neera struggled to support his weight, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist.

In this position, it looked like they were embracing each other.

Neera pressed against his neck and ear, and she froze.

Wasn’t this too intimate?
