Female Novel
Chapter 716
Anxiously, Ian asked, "What should we do? Sir, why don't you coax Mrs. Beauvort? Talk it out. If you can getthings out in the open, everything will be fine."
It would be heartbreaking if someone as wonderful as Mrs. Beauvort left. It would leave Mr. Beauvort in tears,but it would be too late to win her back.
Jean, however, said nothing.
When Ian thought he wouldn't get a response, he finally spoke quietly, "Let her be." novelbin
Ian was dumbfounded, not knowing how to reply.
When he noticed that the usually stern man had a trace of sorrow on his face, he felt a tightness in his chest. In theend, he could only sigh deeply in secret.
...
Meanwhile, no one was at peace at Beauvort Manor.
Wrenn had been informed of everything that had occurred at the shareholder's meeting that morning. Her surpriseand outrage were palpable.
At this point, she was furiously reprimanding Karl.
"You were supposed to check to see if Thora is as competent as they claim. What exactly did you look into? Youdon't know anything about her, but you dare to bring her home to treat your brother! Have you lost your mind?Jean's life is on the line here; how could you be so reckless?"
Karl's face was horrifyingly pale after his mother scolded him harshly. He cast a glance at Wrenn, refusing toaccept full responsibility.
He retorted in an odd tone, "I have good intentions. Who would have anticipated that things would turn out thisway? Besides, you both agreed to it."
His rebuke rendered Wrenn speechless.
Her complexion turned ghastly pale; it was quite a scene.
Coincidentally, Ian called at that time, "Madam, Mr. Beauvort requests that you and your family come over to theImperial Gardens tonight."
Wrenn was worried sick about Jean's health. She quickly inquired, "Where's Jean? Is he there? How is he feelingnow? Is he any better?"
"Mr. Beauvort said he's not going to die just yet," Ian replied.
The undertone of that statement was clear, Jean resented his mother.
Wrenn was overcome with guilt and regret as a result of this reproach.
She wished to speak with her son more, but Jean refused to communicate with her.
He simply had Ian give a brief reply before hanging up.
...
Neera had slept the entire afternoon away.
It was already evening when she awoke.
The triplets had come home from school. They were gathered around her bed, all eyes fixed on her.
They were overjoyed to see her awake and began asking in their childish voices.
"We heard you had a major surgery, Mommy. Are you tired?"
"Poor mommy, you've been so busy lately, but you still have to treat people. I haven't seen you in a few days; youlook thinner now."
"Have you been eating well lately? You look pale. I'm very concerned about you."
Neera's gaze swept across each of their adorable faces, and the warmth in her eyes returned. Her heart, which hadfelt cold for several days, gradually warmed up.
She spent some time with the kids before getting up to shower.
After dinner, she left the triplets to play and intended to check on Jean. Before she left the house, Ian hadfrantically shown up.
"Mrs. Beauvort! Sir, I had another relapse! It's more than a simple chest pain; it looks like a second severeoutbreak! Quick, you have to come with me!"
Neera's expression abruptly changed. She dashed over to the villa next door.
Jean had passed out and was completely unconscious by the time she arrived.
The Beauvorts were in attendance. They were all shocked and alarmed by the situation.
"Move aside!"
Neera wore a gloomy expression, showing unprecedented solemnity.
When they saw her arrive, they overlooked her attitude and quickly made their way to let her pass.
Neera assessed the situation and immediately began treating Jean.
Everyone waited anxiously with each passing second, not daring to make a sound.
Jean, on the other hand, showed no signs of awakening. His face had lost all color.
The situation seemed unfavorable. Neera decisively ordered, "Ian, get the car ready. We need to get him to theresearch center immediately!"
That facility had all of the treatment equipment she required.
Ian wasted no time and dashed downstairs.
He was back in five minutes.
Jean's condition had been temporarily stabilized by Neera.
When Ian walked in, she raised her voice and said, "Don't just stand there! Everyone, I need help carrying himinto the car!"
Joseph was the first to come out of his trance and offer assistance.
Ian also lent a hand.
The group soon made their way to the research facility.
Because they were worried, the triplets followed them outside.
Neera didn't take them along.
Before getting in the car, she crouched down to comfort them, saying, "Don't worry. Uncle Jean will be fine nowthat I'm here. Stay at home and listen to Aunt Zhang. Please go to bed on time and wait for us to return, okay?"
The triplets were visibly distressed, but they nodded obediently.
"Uh-huh, we'll wait for you at home. We have faith in you. You'll bring Uncle Jean back safely!"
