Chapter 699 Intolerable

Neera was confused. “What does this have to do with Thora?”

“Thora secretly investigated my condition previously and somehow got in touch with Clarence. He introduced her to Karl and she tried to reach out to me…”

“When did all of these happen? Why didn’t I know anything about it?” Neera was upset.

Jean coaxed her. “I’ve been too busy lately to tell you, don’t be mad.”

“She’s doing this again! No matter what I did she had to intervene and cause problems for me! And now she’s actually trying to get her hands on you! Am I dead to her?”

Neera couldn’t tolerate Thora’s actions anymore.

She turned around to leave.

Jean hadn’t seen her lose her temper like this before and hurriedly pulled her back.

“Where are you going?”

“To find Thora, of course!”

“Don’t be angry, this is not the time to get angry. I promise I will only let you treat me in the future, okay? Now, let’s look at the kid’s condition first.”

Neera was angry and she didn’t realize that there was something wrong with Jean’s words.

She nodded reluctantly and spent a long time trying to understand the boy’s condition.

Gerald, Peter’s youngest son. He was born with toxins in his body. He had been to many hospitals and seen countless doctors since he was a child.

Past diagnosis stated that his mother had mistakenly eaten something that caused some problems for the fetus.

However, Neera thought otherwise.

“It shouldn’t be this bad if it’s just a case of accidental ingestion. There’s way too much toxic in his body.”

Jean froze. “Do you think that…”

“I suspect that someone kept feeding the mother something during her pregnancy. The type of toxic i harmless to the mother but it will be absorbed by the fetus. I’m afraid that this was planned a long time ago. It’s surprising that the boy could survive for so long. This is just my initial judgment. I have to investigate further for confirmation.”

This was more complicated than Jean had expected. Peter’s first wife died early, leaving behind a daughter. It wasn’t until a few years ago that Peter married his female secretary and had a son with her.

Someone had been trying to get rid of this child from the beginning. It’s too vicious!

Jean asked, “What is the success rate for Thora to save him?”

“Unfortunately, he won’t last much longer. It would take doctors some time to cure him completely. In this case, I bet Thora would use some tricks that will bring immediate results.”

“What does that mean?”

“She will most likely treat him recklessly with her harsh methods to fool Peter. She will be creating a temporary illusion to make his condition improve to achieve her goals.”

Temporary illusion… lan and Jean’s hearts sank.

They thought of Thora’s treatment for Jean at the Beauvort Manor.

lan panicked and asked cautiously, “Mrs. Beauvort, could she have…done it before?”

Neera nodded.

“When she was abroad, she did this several times. Mr. Hanson had reprimanded her many times for her actions. She had stopped for a while. It seems that a leopard can’t change its spots. She could do anything to achieve her goals.”
