Upon hearing that there was to be an election for the district president over there, Jean raised an eyebrow.
“During the last election, you declined due to health issues. This time, Bartitsu Guild is making frequent moves, likely harboring inappropriate intentions... They may even be coveting the tenth district that we control,” said Ian.
Jean sneered. The streetlight filtering through the car window illuminated half of his stern face, making him appear even more cold and austere.
“They're coveting my district? They'd need to have the ability to pull that off first.”
Ian glanced at the rearview mirror, tentatively asking, “What's your plan?”
Jean glanced at his phone and calmly said, “Once my father's health improves, I need to make a trip to Essley first.”
There was a red light ahead, so Ian stopped the car and promptly reported. “By the way, I've been meaning to discuss the matter with you. For this upcoming election, the Gordon family has also been invited. Well... Mrs. Beauvort has to represent the Gordon family and go to Phison. She is now the successor of the Gordon family and is likely to shoulder this responsibility.”
Upon hearing that news, Jean furrowed his eyebrows. She's still a thorn in many's side after becoming the successor. Won't it be dangerous if she goes? Then again, there's nothing wrong with her doing so. She may have even taken the initiative to participate. It seems that Chad will also be willing to let her go out and gain some experience as the successor of the Gordon family. Besides, it's not like I can stop it.
When his train of thought ended there, he felt somewhat agitated. More than that, he was worried.
He issued the order immediately, his voice chilling. “Tell our men to protect her in secret if they encounter her. If anyone dares to lay a finger on her, kill them!”
Accepting the task, Ian saw the green light and stepped on the gas. Before long, he arrived at Imperial Gardens.
Jean hadn't had a good rest for several days. When he got home, he took a shower and went straight to sleep as soon as he lay down.
Meanwhile, Isabella glanced at the time and sent a message to Neera: Mr. Frederic is out of danger now, so don't worry. Also... Jean hadn't had a good rest for the past few days because of this. He looks more haggard than before. I'm not sure if his body can hold up.
After reading it, Neera was silent for a long time.
She stared at the text, reading them over and over again, her heart filled with worry and discomfort.
Jean's health is already not great. How can he be well doing this? He even looks more haggard... I wonder how he's doing. I did leave him some medicine before I left, though. If he feels unwell, taking it should help alleviate his discomfort. Hopefully, he didn't forget about that. She tried to console herself but could never truly find peace, unable to resist overthinking things. What if things don't go well? It's been a while since Jean had an episode. If this matter triggers his illness, then he'll be in for a tough time.
After much thought, she couldn't stop thinking about it. Despite her hesitation, she decided to send a message to Isabella: Jean's body hasn't fully recovered yet. He can't overexert himself, or it can potentially worsen his condition. Bell, could you please keep an eye on him? If Frederic insists he's fine, persuade Jean to rest more.
Isabella sighed, realizing that Neera still couldn't let go of Jean, feeling somewhat helpless. Why are these two people making things so hard for themselves?
Then, she typed: Don't worry, he has gone home to rest tonight. I'll keep a close eye on things, so try not to worry too much.
Jean had slept for a long time, and when he woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
Sitting up in bed, he felt a throbbing in his temples, a slight dizziness in his head, and an overall discomfort throughout his body.
Massaging his brow, he sat up to take the medicine that Neera had left for him, then descended the stairs.
Ian noticed that Jean's complexion was a bit off, which made him somewhat worried. “Mr. Beauvort, are you all right? Are you feeling unwell?”
“I'm fine.” Jean lightly shook his head.
Despite what he said, when dinner time came around, his condition didn't improve. On the contrary, it got worse and worse.
A long-absent wave of pain swept over Jean's entire body, making it hard for him to stand. He leaned uncomfortably against the couch, his eyebrows furrowed and his face etched with agony.
Ian was terrified, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
Neera wasn't around, so he didn't even know who to look for at that moment!
After giving it some thought, he realized that the only person he could rely on was Isabella, so he immediately contacted her.
After explaining Jean's condition, he asked anxiously, “Do you have any solutions for this situation? Mr. Beauvort is in great pain. He can't hold on much longer!”
Isabella didn't expect it to really happen, so she hurried over in the middle of the night.
When she arrived, Jean was in so much pain that he was on the verge of passing out.
Seeing the situation, Isabella didn't dare to treat him casually, she could only call Neera.
