Female Novel
Chapter 174
It was Frederic and Wrenn outside.
They were worried about their son's health, so they could not sleep well and decided to visit.
Seeing Jean standing before them, they let out a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you're fine. We were worried that something would happen, so we came over. Luckily, you didn'thave another attack. It seems like what Neera said was true…"
Jean sighed in his heart when he saw the two elder's concerned expressions even though they were obviouslytired.
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry, so get back to rest."
Frederic and Wenn nodded without saying anything else and returned to their room.
After they left, Jean also went back to the room.
As he was walking to the bed, he saw Neera turn around and causing the blanket on her to fall to the ground.
Neera was sleeping on her side, and her long legs fell into Jean's gaze again. Jean only took a glance beforequickly looking away. He walked over slowly to pick up the blanket and cover her with it again. novelbin
Neera seemed to have noticed someone had approached her, so she subconsciously curled her body while tryingto pull the blanket. She accidentally held on to Jean's pajamas but did not notice it.
Jean thought it was weirdly funny, so he stopped and stared at her for a while.
She slept so soundly and defenselessly that it created a great contrast with her skillful self during the day.
Jean could not help to poke her cheek… Immediately, he was shocked by his own actions! How could he do sucha thing? He then quickly retracted his hand and gently pulled away her fingers, which were tugging on hisclothes.
After that, he turned around and went back to bed.
Jean could not sleep for the rest of the night because of that soft touch…
The next morning, Neera noticed a set of clean clothes on the couch when she woke up.
Jean had woken up and finished washing up. When he walked out of the bathroom, he saw her staring at the set ofclothes in a daze. It was clear that she had only woken up and did not know what was going on, so he explained,"You said you didn't have clean clothes, right? I asked Ian to ask Auntie Zuniga to prepare them. Wear them tomeet my parents later. They won't suspect anything."
"....Oh." Only then did Neera nod, take the clothes, and go to the bathroom to wash up.
Jean waited for her. Once she was done dressing up, he brought her downstairs.
However, it seemed like the elders were not around.
Jean asked Richard, "Where are my parents? Did they leave?"
"No, they went for a walk and haven't returned yet. Breakfast is ready, so you can have breakfast once they're
back," Richard answered truthfully.
Upon hearing his words, Jean replied indifferently, "Then we'll wait for them to return and have breakfasttogether."
Naturally, Neera did not have any objections.
…
Although Frederic and Wrenn had gone out for a walk, they only walked around the villa area, so they had notgone far.
The greenery inside the Imperial Gardens was not bad and could compare with larger parks.
It had been raining for two consecutive days, and it was finally sunny today. The air was also really fresh.Frederic and Wrenn had woken up early and had nothing to do, so they decided to take a walk.
As they walk across a cobblestone path on their way back, Wrenn slipped and fell.
"Ouch…" Wrenn exclaimed.
It was not a light fall, and it caused Wrenn to sprain her foot. Moreover, when she rested her arm on the ground, itwas scraped by a sharp stone and bled.
Frederic was shocked and quickly helped her to rest at a gazebo nearby.
He then took out his handkerchief to cover her wound while frowning. "Does it hurt?"
Wrenn's expression did not look good, but she endured the pain and shook her head. "I'm fine. We'll deal with itwhen we're back."
Frederic disagreed. "How are you going to walk when you're injured? You'll only worsen your injury. Don'tmove, we should stop the bleeding first…"
Not far away, Neera's three kids were walking around with Zuniga.
Upon seeing this scene, the triplets were shocked and looked at each other. Then, they immediately went over.
They said cutely with a concerned expression, "Grandma, are you okay?"
