Neera spoke confidently. âDonât worry; Iâve got it covered.â
Ian pondered for a while. In the past, these words were always spoken by Mr. Jean. But hearing them now from Mrs. Beauvort strangely made me feel at ease. I could not help but think that they were becoming more alike.
That night, Jeanâs health was still in bad shape.
Neera said, âYou canât leave like this; youâll have to stay here for another night.â
Jean replied. âOkay, Iâll go with your plan.â
Neera said, âThe bed here isnât comfortable; letâs go to my room. Although we could not leave the research center, the sleeping location could be changed.
Neera held Jean and said, âWhile it might be comparable to your home, at least itâs slightly more comfortable than the hospital bed.â
Jean leaned on Neera and said, âNo problem. To me, any place with you is comfortable.â
Neera was delighted and said, âSo, does that mean that you need to stay here for these two days?â
Jean chuckled and said, âAs long as youâre willing, I can stay there as long as you
They chatted for a while before reaching the room.
like.â
After a shower, Negra called the triplets. I had not been home for a few days; they must be worried!
As expected, the tripletsâ worried voices came from the other end.
âMommy, why havenât you come home these past two days? Are you busy?â
âUncle Jean hasnât come back either!â
âMommy, did something happen to you two?â
Neera reassured them, âUncle Jean and I canât return home for a while since we are busy with work outside. Be good and listen to Auntie Zunigaâs words.â
At first, the triplets did not believe her.
âReally? What about Uncle Jean? Is he with you right now? We really miss Uncle Jean and want to
see him!â
Neera chuckled and switched to a video call, showing Jean on the screen.
Jean waved at the camera and said, âIâm here with your mommy; Follow Auntie Zunigaâs instructions, too!â
worry. Now
go to sleep.
Seeing him, the triplets finally felt relieved. They had been worried about Jean and Neera for the
past two days. Due to the lighting, they didnât notice the unusual pallor on Jeanâs face.
âWeâll miss you! See you two soon!
Their reaction touched Neera. She

That night, Neera and Jean slept cuddled together.
The next morning, Neera woke up while Jean was still asleep. She leaned over and gave him a soft
kiss in secret.
Then, she got up quietly and went to freshen up.
Jean finally woke up when Ian arrived with breakfast and a suit.
Jeanâs condition seemed to have improved slightly, but his complexion was still pale.
After sitting up, Jean held Neera and said, âHelp me get dressed.â
Neera looked somewhat dumbfounded and said, âAre
you
sure?â
Jean said calmly, âOf course. Whatâs the big deal? Weâre married.â
Neera blushed and retorted, âBut we do not have the marriage certificate yet.â
Jean nonchalantly said, âWeâre dating, then. Itâs perfectly normal for a girlfriend to help her boyfriend get dressed.â
Neera fell silent. I donât believe you!
Jean smirked and teased, âBesides, if you want to get the marriage certificate, we can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now.â
Neera pondered for a while. Is this a proposal? What kind of proposal is this?
Neera stared at Jean and said, âJust shut up.â
âAlright.â Jean nodded and said, âIâm an injured patient; you should take care of me.â
Neera was at a loss for words. Jean was exceptionally good at manipulating me.
Neera had no other choice but to help Jean get dressed. However, she hesitated when she was about
to put on his pants.
Neera said, âYou can manage that yourself. If not, Iâll call Ian in to help you!
With that, she hurriedly left.
Jean burst into laughter when he saw what had happened.
When Neera returned, Jean had already finished dressing up. Neera even brought a wheelchair with
her.
Ian said, âMrs. Beauvort, why did you bring a wheelchair? You canât possibly expect Mr. Jean to appear at the company like this?â
Neera responded calmly, âJean is still weak. He might not last through the shareholders meeting.â
Scratching his head, Ian said hesitantly, âBut showing up at the company like this⦠I wonder what
others will think.â
Neera said, âLet them think whatever. Nothing is more important than his health.â
Without any complaints, Jean simply sat in the wheelchair.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Beauvort Group.
The shareholder voting meeting was in full swing, and all shareholders had arrived. They were just
waiting for Jean.
At exactly ten oâclock, Jean arrived in a wheelchair. Everyone in the room buzzed with surprise.
Frederic and Joseph even stood up immediately in shock.
âJean, what happened? Why do you look so pale?â
Jean replied calmly, âItâs nothing. Iâm fine.â
Seeing that Jean would not offer more details, they turned their attention to Neera. However, Neera remained silent and stared coldly around the room.
Jean said, âLetâs start the meeting.â
