That night, Jean stayed at the hospital.
Seeing him resting with his eyes closed on a chair in the corridor, Isabella couldn't bear it and used her authority to arrange for him to have access to a staff lounge.
Jean expressed his gratitude, but Isabella seemed uninterested. “I'm doing this for Neera's sake. I understand your current situation, and you may not have much time for her right now. However, I still hope you can communicate with her more. If you still want to win her back, put in more effort. Don't let her heart grow cold.”
After delivering her message, she departed.
Jean entered the room and lay down, his arm covering his eyes.
A frown creased his forehead as he thought of his father still in a coma and Neera's distressed appearance before he left.
In the quiet of the night, he remained awake. He pulled out his phone and began scrolling through photos in his album.
Among the images were pictures of Neera and the triplets.
Jean gazed at them intently, his eyes filled with longing. His fingertips gently traced the cheerful faces in the photographs, his heart filled with regret.
“Sorry, I'll be a little late in seeing you. Please wait for me a little longer...”
Back at home, Neera had a restless night, struggling to find peaceful sleep.
She tossed and turned, unable to rest properly. Eventually, she reached for her phone on the bedside table, opened Twitter, and started browsing local news.
However, she found nothing related to Jean.
The previous buzz about her and the man had quieted down.
Reluctantly, she tried to calm her mind and force herself back to sleep.
After much effort, she managed to fall asleep but was plagued by a nightmare.
The dream was filled with scenes of blood and injury, yet the person in distress remained obscure. No matter how hard she tried to get a clear look, the face remained hidden.
In the early morning, Neera woke up in a daze, her head throbbing slightly, and her mental state far from optimal.
Upon observing Neera's deteriorating condition, Adriana became increasingly worried. However, she refrained from addressing it directly in front of Neera, fearing that it might touch upon the painful topic of her relationship with Jean.
Instead, she decided to discuss her concerns privately with Chad.
Adriana confided, “What should we do? I can see that Neera's condition is getting worse day by day. Even her laughter seems forced. If this continues, her body will definitely not be able to hold up...”
Chad pondered for a moment and came up with a plan. “Our best course of action right now is to distract her, occupy her time, so she won't have the opportunity to dwell on Jean.”
Adriana agreed, “That sounds like a good idea, but... what can we use as a distraction?”
Later that afternoon, Chad invited Neera to the yard alone, and she couldn't help but ask, “Uncle Chad, what's going on? Why all the secrecy?”
Chad glanced toward the mansion and whispered to her, “Neera, didn't you mention earlier that you'd help me prepare for the proposal? We can't delay any longer now that we're back. Your aunt's birthday is approaching, and if we don't start preparing, we might run out of time.”
Neera recalled the proposal ceremony she had agreed to help with.
Simultaneously, memories of Jean's proposal resurfaced, causing a subtle pang of heartache.
However, she didn't want her family to notice her inner turmoil, so she suppressed her sadness, mustered a smile, and nodded.
“Of course, don't worry. I don't have any urgent matters right now, so I can fully concentrate on helping you prepare. But I'm not sure where you plan to hold the proposal ceremony. Do you have a location in mind?”
Chad chuckled. “You haven't really delved into the company's business since announcing that you're the future heir of F.A Group, have you? Let's take this opportunity for me to explain it to you, including the origin of the name F.A.”
Neera was intrigued. “The origin of F.A? Wasn't it always called that? Is there a story behind it?”
“Absolutely,” Chad replied with a smile, “Before it became F.A, it was known as Gordon Corporation. I changed its name after I took over.”
He changed its name?
Neera's mind started to work as she pieced together the information. She pondered for a moment, connecting the dots and formulating her own speculations.
“F.A... does it stand for... Forever Adriana?”
Chad's eyes twinkled with amusement as he confirmed, “Indeed.”
