Chapter 715 End The Marriage âDonât thank me yet,â Neera replied, waving her hand.
âA word of caution, there may still be traces of toxins in his system. It is difficult to completely eradicate them. The procedure would be difficult. You can thank me when heâs fully recovered.â
She wiped the sweat from her brow and exhaled a sigh of relief. She went on, âI will set up a treatment schedule and have lan let you know about it later.â
Soon, Peter found himself in awe of Neera.
In contrast to before, she no longer displayed an aggressive side as she did earlier in the meeting.
He inhaled deeply, looked at her, then at Jean.
âJean, I was confused before and mistrusted Clarence. I almost got you in big trouble, but you two didnât hold it against me. You even offered to help with my sonâs treatment. Iâll be eternally grateful!â
Jean maintained his usual demeanor, clearly not harboring resentment toward the previous event.
âUncle Peter, I know youâre trying to do whatâs best for your son, but even if youâre desperate, you shouldnât do the impossible or let yourself be fooled. I hope youâre able to keep your eyes open.â
Peter gave a firm nod.
Neera then reminded the couple of the additional precautions.
âThatâs all I have for now. Iâll remind you later if thereâs anything else. Gerald has been returned to his ward. You should go see him.â
The couple thanked her repeatedly before hurrying to the hospital ward When Jean finally had the opportunity to speak with Neera, he asked, âAre like to take a nap in the office?â
you tired? Would you Instead of responding, Neera frowned and inquired, âWhy are you always concerned about me and not yourself? Given your condition, you should rest after the meeting. Why are you coming here? Is your chest still aching? Are you out of breath?â
He gently squeezed Neeraâs hand and said, âThank you for everything. Should we go home if you donât want to rest here?â
âOther people are caring for the child here,â Neera said while nodding in agreement. âLetâs go. Iâm exhausted and want to sleep.â
Following a major operation, Jean knew she needed to rest. He directed lan O go get the car.
Joseph was there to support Jean from the sidelines. He said, âSince everything is settled here, Iâll head back to the office.â
Jean finally remembered that his brother was with him. He gave a light ǹod and said, âThanks, Joseph.â
âWeâre brothers,â Joseph grinned as he tapped him on the shoulder. âDonât mention it.â
He turned his gaze to Neera with an apologetic expression and said, âWe owe it to Jeanâs illness or the companyâs problems, weâre lucky to have you.â
you.
Whether itâs âI do this for Jean,â Neera replied coldly and honestly. âI couldnât give a damn about your companyâs internal strife.â
Understanding that Neera was still upset, Joseph didnât say anything else and quickly left.
Neera and Jean also left the hospital.
She looked out the window and was deafeningly quiet on their way home.
âAfter I wake up, gather your family around,â she said abruptly halfway through the journey. âIâd like to say something.â
Jeanâs heart clenched at the sound of her calm voice. He gave her a thoughtful glance and wanted to say something.
However, Neera was leaning back, eyes closed, and clearly disinterested in continuing the conversation.
He had a foreboding feeling. He reached for her hand and held it tightly, as if he were desperately trying to clutch at something out of reach.

She was aware of his hold on her, but she didnât open her eyes even as her heart flinched slightly in pain.
In complete silence, the pair parted ways and headed home.
Neera was totally drained. She went straight to bed.
Jean was not in the mood, so he asked Ian, âDid you send someone to look for Thora?â
âYes, but thereâs no trace of her,â Ian replied, nodding. âMr. Clarence also dispatched someone to look for her.â
While maintaining silence, Jean had a hideous expression.
He was livid that Thora had almost put everything in jeopardy. She sabotaged all of his plans. He was not going to let this go!
Due to his anger, he had mood swings. His chest ached whenever his emotions became agitated.
Resting on the couch, it took him some time before saying, âCall the manor. Ask them to come here tonight. Neera has something to say.â
Ian looked grave and seemed worried. âDo you think Mrs. Beauvort wants toâ¦â he hesitated, then carefully continued, âEnd the marriage?â
Jeanâs heart sank at the words âend the marriage. His eyes clouded over with an overwhelming feeling.
After a long pause, he quietly replied, âProbably.â
His voice had an unusual sense of desolation to it.
