Female Novel
Chapter 809
Being a mother herself, Neera could understand how she felt.
"Aunt Shana and Uncle Peter, you can skip the formalities. After all, we are a family."
Shana kept nodding and agreed, "Yes, yes, we're a family."
Neera gave Shana a close look as she spoke.
Ever since they met, she noticed Shana appeared pale and worn out. She wondered, "Aunt Shana, are you notfeeling unwell? You don't look good. I can do a checkup on you if you're not feeling well."
Shana wiped her tears away.
"I'm not sick," she said, shaking her head. "I'm perfectly fine."
Hearing her response, Neera decided not to pressure her further.
"She hasn't been resting well," Peter added. "Because of Ged's illness, she has been this way for years. She lookstired because she's always worried and depressed."
Neera nodded in understanding.
Parents always love their children wholeheartedly, and surely she feels helpless about her son's health.
He recalled something and uttered, "You mentioned before that she was poisoned before Ged was born. I didsome investigating. The old housekeeper who had worked for us for a long time had done this. We would havebeen kept in the dark for the rest of our lives if you hadn't uncovered this."
Neera's brows knitted a little when she heard this.
"If that housekeeper has worked for you for years, she should be someone you have a lot of faith in. Her personaought to be trustworthy. Why would she do something so malicious? If this poison hadn't been carefullyadministered, it could have killed both mother and fetus. Did you find out why she did it?"
Shana was terrified when she heard the words "killed both mother and fetus." Her body trembled uncontrollably.
Peter embraced her instantly. He comforted her with a light pat on the shoulder.
With a sour grin on his face, he explained, "That housekeeper was a servant brought over by my late first wife.She left behind a daughter after she died. The housekeeper was concerned that we would mistreat my daughterafter the birth of Ged, so she..."
Neera dawned on the full picture now.
It appeared as if the housekeeper was dedicated to her employer to the point of violating her own morals and thelaw for her sake.
To her surprise, Shana was a powerful woman, and Ged was a tough kid. They had both survived.
Neera sighed slightly.
Domestic affairs, especially scandalous ones, were not something she should get too involved in. She could onlyoffer words of comfort.
"Don't be afraid, Aunt Shana. Everything is in the past. Rest assured, I'll see to it that Ged gets better andhealthier. He's a strong child who has never given up. The recent treatments were difficult, but he persisted. Youmust take proper care of yourself. You two can take Ged to the amusement park when he gets better."
Shana couldn't hold back her tears any longer. Her tears began to fall down her cheeks. It was hard to tell if shewas crying tears of joy or sadness.
She nodded vigorously. Her heart was filled with hope.
"Neera, thank you."
As he studied Neera, Peter suddenly understood why Jean was so devoted to her.
This young lady is truly extraordinary. She's confident enough to address the entire shareholder meeting head-on.
She has accomplished so much and was widely admired in the world of medicine. She also has a tender side,treating others with sincerity and warmth.
Peter couldn't help but sighed at this point.
"At first, I had reservations about you, but you have selflessly helped our family, for which I'm eternally grateful.It's no surprise that Jean adores you. You and Jean are the only ones who are worthy of each other.
Neera's gaze turned warm as she realized he truly accepted her.novelbin
"Uncle Peter, you are overpraising me."
"I heard Jean is in Essley. We should have dinner together. My treat."
"Sure, but let me treat you instead," Neera chuckled. "We don't need to dine out; just come to my house. Allowme to be the host."
Peter burst out laughing. His voice was deep and soothing. "Alright, we'll do as you say!"
After they parted ways, Peter thought about it and called Jean.
"Uncle Peter, what's up?" Jean sounded groggy on the other end as if he had just awoken.
Peter cut right to the chase and advised, "Jean, you've found yourself a good wife. Neera is genuinely devoted toyou. She has done everything she can to help you. Nobody can say anything unfavorable about you. You mustcherish her; you're very lucky to meet someone as amazing as her."
