Chapter 71 7 Neera Has Many Suitors

Ian and Joseph assisted in carrying Jean into the treatment room when they arrived at the research

center.

Neera changed into medical garb, made necessary preparations, and immediately went in to

administer emergency treatment.

Jean’s health wasn’t in the best of shape to begin with. He was still very weak, even though he had been resting for two days. He couldn’t handle the sudden outbreak.

Neera continued to administer treatment.

Ten minutes later, Jean regained consciousness.

This, however, was only the beginning. The subsequent procedures were laborious and painful.

Jean had excruciating chest pain that nearly knocked him unconscious. Yet the pain kept him

awake.

There were multiple instances where he was barely breathing. His suppressed cries almost faded

away.

His condition was critical. Neera had put in a great effort to bring him back time and time again.

Unlike the treatments of the past two days, she did not rely on others for assistance but took matters into her own hands.

She witnessed every agonizing moment Jean endured. She took in everything, and every shriek he

let out felt like a sharp blade tormenting him.

There were also other team members present. It was too much for them to bear.

“Neera, why don’t you step out? We can handle it too.”

“Yes, Nancy, allow us to take over.”

They couldn’t bear watching the scene, let alone her.

However, Neera kept working. She politely declined their offer, saying, “It’s fine. I’d like to be by his

side this time.”

Despite their efforts, she refused to leave the ward.

Jean’s outbreak ended after a grueling five-hour battle.

Neera’s complexion was pale and devoid of color when she emerged from the ward.

Sweat covered her forehead, dampening her hairline.

She wiped the sweat from her brow, walked shakily, and nearly passed out.

Shocked, Osbert rushed to her aid; worry filled his face. He asked, “Are you okay? Do you want to

get some rest?”

Neera took some time to recover. She then brushed him aside and shook her head, saying, “I’m

fine; don’t worry.”

When Frederic and Wrenn witnessed this scene, they felt uneasy.

If they hadn’t seen Jean’s critical condition and heard his agonizing cries today, they would not

have realized the severity of their son’s condition.

They had no idea Thora, whom they hired, could cause such harm to their son.

The two wanted to thank Neera and apologize to her, but words escaped them.

They had, after all, always doubted her and even considered replacing her with Thora. They were

embarrassed to approach her.

The couple remained silent.

Neera, too, had no desire to converse with them. She gave them a cold glance before going to prepare the medicine.

For the first time in their lives, the elders were helpless as they watched her walk away without saying anything.

Fortunately, Ian was there. He was worried about his boss and wondered, “How is Mr. Beauvort?”

Luigi was courteous to him, but his tone was cold, especially with the two elders present.

Fortunately, lan was there. He was worried about his boss and wondered, “How is Mr. Beauyort?”

Luigi was courteous to him, but his tone was cold, especially with the two elders present.

“Not good. He might not have made it tonight if Nancy hadn’t done the preparations several days ago.

He has passed out and will most likely remain in a coma for the next few days.”

“Why is this happening to him?” Wrenn uttered it and almost passed out from the shock.

Osbert’s temper had flared.

He retorted sarcastically, “Why wouldn’t this happen? You’re partly to blame for his agony. He wouldn’t be suffering if you hadn’t gotten involved. Neera would never be this tired! She has been working nonstop for his benefit, barely getting any sleep! Who will take care of Mr. Beauvort if she collapses?”

“I heard you don’t think highly of her? Haha, honestly, I’m curious, are you heartless or blind? Can’t you see how wonderful she is and how she treated your son? Do you even have hearts? Do you have any idea how many people would do anything to marry Neera? Yet you mistreat and sideline her! Shame on you!”

With that, he stormed off.

Frederic and Wrenn were rendered speechless, and their faces grew even more pale.

Have they found Thora?” Frederic asked after a while. “She has no regard for human life and

endangered my son’s life. I’ll settle this score with her!”

We’d sent people to find her, but she had fled,” Ian explained.
