Glad to hear that, Neera replied, “Really? That's great. All the hard work we put into research wasn't in vain. Atleast, we have gotten a good outcome.”
Isabella leaned forward and hugged her gratefully.
“Neera, thank you so much. I don't even know how to express my gratitude, you're just too kind...”
Neera gave a slight smile and patted Isabella's back as she said teasingly, “Don't mention it. If you keep this up,I'm gonna get angry. You know how scary I can get when I lose my temper.”
Isabella couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter when she heard that.
That night, Neera fell asleep soon after having dinner as she was still quite tired.
Jean knew that she was probably exhausted from her busy schedule recently, in addition to the fact that she hadjust recovered from her fever, and needed rest. As such, he told Adriana and the kids to head home first.
The little ones were somewhat reluctant.
However, there wasn't enough space for them there, and they might affect their mother's sleep. As such, they hadno choice but to obediently comply and go home with Adriana.
Later into the night, Jean lay down on the bed after taking a shower. He turned to the side and held Neera in hisarms.
Even though Neera was sleeping soundly, she managed to catch his scent and instinctively leaned in, snugglingagainst his chest.
The next morning, Neera was finally well-rested after a good night's sleep, and her body had recoveredconsiderably. Her fever had not returned, and she was also feeling more energetic.
Upon opening her eyes, she looked up and saw Jean's handsome face.
The sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a shadow beneath his long and thick eyelashes.
Engrossed in staring at the man, Neera's lips unconsciously curled into a smile, her heart bubbling withsweetness.
She had no doubt that she would be happy every morning if she could wake up in his arms.
As Jean was still asleep after a while, Neera started feeling bored. Suddenly, a playful thought crossed her mind,and she reached out to touch his eyelashes.
Jean woke up the moment her fingers made contact with his eyelashes. novelbin
He had slept deeper than usual. When he woke up, he was still feeling somewhat groggy.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a lazy and playful voice saying, “Good morning.”
His mind cleared up a little.
Seeing that the woman in his arms had returned to her usual bubbly self, he could not help but pull her tighter intohis embrace.
Neera noticed that the man seemed a bit emotional and asked in confusion, “What's the matter?”
Jean rested his chin on top of her head and rubbed against it gently. In a low voice, he said, “Promise me, don'tfall sick again. Do you know how worried I've been these past few days... I thought I was going crazy...”
Neera froze for a moment and felt as if her heart was on the verge of melting.
“I'm sorry for causing you so much worry. From now on, I'll take better care of myself and ensure that somethinglike this doesn't happen again,” she obediently agreed and hugged him back just as tightly.
The two of them leaned on each other for a long time before they finally let go.
After washing up and having breakfast, Neera headed to the treatment room to visit Franklin.
As Franklin had all along been healthy, he was recovering very well.
When he saw Neera, he repeatedly expressed his gratitude, “I've heard everything from Bell. If it weren't for you,my life would have been over. I will remember your kindness in my heart. If there's anything you need in thefuture, just say the word, and the Lopez family will definitely do everything we can to help.”
Neera chuckled and replied, “Mr. Lopez, please don't be so formal. You're Bell's grandfather, and I treat Bell likemy own sister. It's only natural that I would do everything in my power to help you. There's no need to thank me.”
Next, she showed the old man his health indicators and said, “If all goes well, you should be able to go hometomorrow. It's important to rest well in the next few days and eat some light food. You should be fully recoveredin a few days.”
As she had nothing else to attend to after that, Neera returned to Imperial Gardens with Jean.
Adriana sized her up the moment she saw her and said, “Are you sure you're all right? Do you need to rest for acouple more days?”
Neera laughed and replied, “I can't just keep lying around. It's not a big deal, I'm fine now. Don't worry.”
“... Okay, that's good.”
The three little ones were overjoyed. They gathered around their mother, clapping their hands in celebration.
“Mommy has finally recovered, yay!”
As Neera had been missing them for a while now, she immediately hugged them and smothered them with kisses.
After falling ill, she had become lazy and stopped going to the research institute, choosing to stay at home andrest instead.
Jean did not go to the office either; he worked from home to keep her company.
Around noon, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Adriana went to open the door.
A short while later, Neera saw her grandparents, uncle and aunt, as well as Edward, walking in.
