Chapter 747 Missing Her Dearly Naturally, Osbert agreed. He began to recount as he applied the needle.

“I first met Neera at Mr. Hanson’s research center. I was a newcomer at the time, whereas Neera had already been trusted and highly valued by Mr. Hanson as his right–hand person.

“At the time, I was perplexed. She was a year my senior, but she had accomplished so much.

“I later discovered that Neera was a medical student in her home country. She became even more ambitious after moving abroad, mastering all her knowledge in two years.

“Mr. Hanson saw her potential and abilities. He made an exception and hired her at the research center to help him with experiments. She was involved in everything, from minor to major projects.

“Neera made the most of every opportunity. She is a hard worker, gifted, and a quick learner. She had many unique insights and could find alternative solutions to many difficult problems.

“Everyone said she was born for this job. She was highly sought after by numerous professors, but out of gratitude for Mr. Hanson’s mentorship, she declined other offers and stayed at the research center.”

Osbert spoke with admiration in every word.

“On top of that, she makes time every day to spend with her kids and study business management.

I’m afraid she’ll tire herself out.”

Jean listened silently, feeling both proud and concerned.

He was always aware of how good she was. It took a lot of work to achieve that level of excellence.

And he recognized her dedication as a result of her pride and desire not to be overshadowed.

On the other hand, she desired to carve her own path and provide stable support for her children.

For this reason, she went above and beyond what was expected of her.

After a brief pause, he inquired softly, “Has she… had any difficulties over the years?”

Osbert nodded and replied, “Yes, I remember…”

He told many tales about Neera during their sessions together.

Jean’s heart was slowly but surely etched with all the memories he had missed.

After a while, Osbert took the needles out.

Jean thanked him and waited for his sweat to dry before he left.

After getting home, he showered and tried to go to sleep, but he couldn’t fall asleep.

Osbert’s words kept playing in his head.

Even though he hadn’t been present at the time, he could relive those events in his head as though he were watching a movie.

His arm went up to cover his eyes after a while. His longing for her only grew stronger.

Neera felt the same way.

Every day, she thought about him, but she was so busy.

She had a lot on her plate every day, and it wasn’t just worrying about Adriana’s health.

After taking over Adriana’s role, she realized just how difficult the previous years had been and how much her aunt had protected her from.

Her workload at Startales paled in comparison to her new position.

She took some time off in the afternoon to go to the hospital. Adriana had her first post–surgery checkup today, and Neera wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Fortunately, the results of the examination were very positive.

The doctor assured her, “She’ll be fine as long as no new issue arises, but she needs to continue to take her medication and come for regular check–ups.”

Neera nodded in agreement, relieved. She felt as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

Fortunately, things didn’t turn out as badly as they could have. Aunt Adriana is so kind; how could she bear such suffering? It must be God’s grace.

“Stay in the hospital for another week for observation,” the doctor advised. “She can go home once we confirm she is stable.”

In response, Neera simply nodded and said, “Okay, thank you very much.”

She later went to Adriana’s ward. They talked for some time. Neera was ready to leave after reminding her aunt to get some rest.

“I wanted to stay with you longer, but the company has so much going on. I must deal with it. I need to handle it. Rest well. When I’m finished, I’ll come over and spend more time with you.”

Adriana’s condition appeared to be much better, despite her pale appearance.

She gently squeezed Neera’s hand and advised her not to overwork.

“You’ve lost so much weight recently. You seem completely spent. Look at your dark eye circle. Don’t overdo it. Leave the company’s problems to the employees. There is nothing more valuable than your health.

“Listen to me. After you’re done with work, don’t come to the hospital. Get home, rest up, and hang out with the kids. Uncle Chad is here, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

Neera agreed, understanding her concern.

Neil arrived unexpectedly at this time. After greeting Adriana, he asked, “Chairman, how are you feeling now? Better?”

Adriana said with a smile, “Much better.”

She then asked Neil, “Anything?”

Instead of responding right away, Neil looked at Neera.

“Speak up,” Neera advised. “There’s nothing Aunt Adriana shouldn’t know.”

Neil nodded and immediately reported, “We’ve just received news about Thora.”
