Chapter 154
Neera's words were like a shocking bomb, exploding in the tranquil room. Clarence was completely frightened,his face showing obvious panic and fear. When Neera pressed his meridian point, he indeed felt weak all over,and his heart was experiencing the throbbing pain she described!
Jonas, who had been skeptical, now realized that something was amiss, and he anxiously asked, "Dad, how doyou feel now?"
Clarence finally couldn't maintain his tough facade, feeling at a loss, he admitted, "Yes! I do feel that way..."
At this point, Jean spoke in a calm tone, "Uncle Clarence, if something's wrong with your body, you should seekmedical attention promptly. Don't wait until it's too late to regret it."
Jonas' mother, alarmed by the situation, quickly stood up and urged them to go to the hospital, "Quickly, quickly!Jonas, don't delay, help your dad, let's go to the hospital now!"
Jonas nodded, not paying attention to the others, and without further ado, he hurriedly left with his father.
The others in the room lost their appetites after witnessing the scene and made various excuses to take their leave.Frederic didn't stop them, as the purpose of introducing the bride to the relatives had been fulfilled, and the restdidn't matter much.
As the others left, they couldn't help but cast deep glances at Neera, leaving a lasting impression on her...
After a while, only the newlyweds remained in the main hall, along with Frederic and Wrenn, and Jean's twobrothers. novelbin
It was then that Frederic put on a stern face and questioned Neera seriously, "Is Uncle Clarence really in such bad
health? Or was it just a little trick you played on him to tease him?"
Neera hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to be candid or not, and subconsciously glanced at Jean forguidance.
Jean immediately caught her gaze, raising an eyebrow and using his eyes to signal her to tell the truth.
With Jean's encouragement, Neera decided not to hide anything and answered truthfully, "It's half true and half atrick. His health does have some issues, but not as serious as I made it seem. I did want to scare him a bit becausehe cursed Jean first!"
Jean was her patient, and anyone disrespecting his body condition was essentially doubting her abilities.
Of course, her little scheme was unknown to others, and they misunderstood her actions as protecting herhusband.
Jean's elder brother, Joseph, couldn't help but laugh, "Neera, you described it so vividly just now, it was quitefrightening! I thought it was true for a moment."
Even Jean's second brother, Karl, couldn't help but smirk.
Though he didn't see eye to eye with Jean, he was also in conflict with Clarence's family. At this moment, he wasenjoying watching Clarence being frightened out of his wits.
Upon hearing Neera's explanation, Frederic's serious expression softened slightly, clearly satisfied with herprotective behavior towards Jean.
Although this new daughter-in-law had a rather... peculiar background, she sure knew how to stand her groundwhen confronting others; she was not one to be trifled with.
Most importantly, she knew how to protect Jean, and that alone was commendable.
However, he still felt the need to criticize her a little, so he put on a stern face and reproached her, "Next time,don't act so recklessly. Even if it's for Jean's sake, you need to restrain yourself. If Uncle Clarence finds out thatyou were playing a prank on him, he'll hold a grudge against you!"
Neera chuckled nonchalantly and replied, "It's okay, I have Jean protecting me. I have nothing to fear!"
Wrenn, who was observing from the side, still had a somewhat cold attitude towards her.
"While it's satisfying to see you fight back and scare people away, running your mouth like that is not appropriate.Our Beauvort family has always valued integrity and respect for our elders. Since you've entered the Beauvortfamily, you should abide by its rules. Even if you're unhappy, those are still your elders, and you should showrespect. Even if you hear unpleasant things, learn to endure, you can't offend everyone every time. Don't forget,you are now married to Jean, and as a couple, your words and actions represent not only yourself."
