The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 128

When she saw this scene, a tinge of jealousy rushed up in her, “Why aren’t I in the drawing?”

The triplets snapped their heads at her and pointed at the tea table, “Of course, we drew you! It’s there!”

Neera stole a look and saw that they had drawn her quite beautifully. She was satisfied with what she saw, “Alright, go wash your hands. We are eating.”

The triplets were starving as they darted off to wash their hands. They did not forget to drag Jean along.

They sat around the table and Neera placed a bowl of soup that contained her new medication in front of him. There was a strong distinctive scent wafting from the soup.

Jean sniffed at it and took a sip. It was quite bitter, which made his brows furrow.

Neera could not help but feel amused by his expression.

She asked Penny out of the blue, “Penny, do we still have some fudges?”

Penny looked at her and said, “Yes, we have!”

Neera smiled, “Give him one.”

Penny did as she was told as she ran off to get the sweet before returning. She spread her palms at Jean to show the fudge.

“Uncle Jean, this is for you!”

Jean stared at that beautiful packaging and felt weird, “Why are you giving me this?”

Penny explained with a radiant smile, “Mummy told me that if a patient dislikes his medicine, we should give him a sweet so that he would be happy enough to take the medicine! You are Mummy’s patient, so you should be a good boy and eat this!”

Jean was speechless upon hearing that. He suddenly felt reluctant to accept this sweet.

However, he could not reject Penny who was staring at her with genuine concern. He finally took the sweet anyway.

Then, he shot a look at Neera. He was a little annoyed.

This woman must be doing this on purpose!

Neera almost could not stifle her laughter…

After dinner, Jean returned to his place with the drawing.

Neera accompanied the triplets as they had fun in the courtyard for some time.

At nine, she called Zuniga, “Bring them to their baths. I need to treat Jean next door.”

“Alright, go now.”

Zuniga replied politely.

Soon, Neera appeared at Jean’s place with her medical box.

Jean was waiting in his bedroom.

He was lying in bed, and he was naked from his waist up. His back was exposed.

His pale skin did not diminish his muscular body shape. It was a sight that would lure a woman into his charisma.

Neera could not help but steal glances at his naked back although she was not really the kind of girl who would salivate over male bodies.

She swallowed hard and reminded herself to be professional. Then, she began to administer treatment.

Although Jean did not make any comments, his body responded in a way that told her that he was in pain from time to time.

Neera saw that he was almost at his limit, so she shoved medicine into his mouth.

“Eat it. It will alleviate your pain for now.”

Jean shot a look at the black pill and decided to consume it. As he wanted to lick it up, he accidentally licked Neera’s fingertips!

Neera felt an electric shock and she abruptly retrieved her hand. Her fingertips felt so hot as if something had burned them.

His lips looked distant and devoid of any warmth, but the moment they connected with her skin, the heat immediately spread to her fingertips…

There was a strange thought in her mind now.

Jean was stunned too as he stared at Neera’s fingertips and her blushed face. His face darkened…

An ambiguous atmosphere began to fill the room. It felt like the room was getting hotter for some inexplicable reason.

Neera did not dare to meet his eyes. She coughed to alleviate the awkwardness hanging in the air, “Ehem… I am done for now. We need to wait for an hour. I–I will go look at the ingredients and make some new medication. Lie here quietly and don’t move an inch.”

Then, she darted off without even looking at him. It was as if she was running away because she was flustered…
