The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1354

On the way back, the previous excitement of the triplets had completely disappeared.

Three pairs of large eyes kept glancing at Jean from time to time, wanting to ask something yet unsure if they should. Their big eyes were filled with deep concern.

Jean didn't eat a bite of lunch served on the plane. In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and he still hadn't touched it.

Neera was heartbroken. She urged him, “Even if you don't have an appetite, try to eat a little. Otherwise, you'll collapse before the plane even lands.”

The triplets couldn't contain their worries, either. They huddled over, their voices soft and comforting.

“Daddy, please eat something. If you get too hungry, it will break our hearts.”

“Yes, Daddy. If you're not eating, Mommy doesn't eat much either. If you guys don't eat properly, we won't feel like eating either.”

Harvey was very sensible. He took the initiative to pick up the plate, intending to feed Jean. “Daddy, you must eat well. Only then will Grandma and Grandpa not worry. Grandpa is so robust that he won't have any problems. Maybe if he sees you getting thin from not eating, he might even scold you. You can't let him get angry.”

Jean, indeed, didn't have much of an appetite. The thought of the doctor advising his mother to prepare for the worst made him feel restless and uneasy.

Seeing his wife and children so worried about him, he pursed his lips helplessly, tugged at the corner of his mouth, picked up the dinner plate, and started eating reluctantly.

Only then did the triplets breathe a sigh of relief.

Neera had them return to their seats. After finishing the meal with Jean, she asked about the specifics.

“What did they say on the phone? How could your dad's heart suddenly have problems?” she asked.

Jean shook his head. “My mom was too upset to explain things clearly. She just said that he suddenly fainted while at work. The hospital said it was a heart issue and also mentioned...”

“What is it?”

Jean closed his eyes briefly, letting out a deep sigh. “They told her to prepare for the worst,” he said.

Doctors couldn't make such a statement recklessly as it held significant meaning.

After hearing everything, Neera realized the situation was extremely serious.

She was afraid that there might be a serious, irreversible problem with the heart.

A flicker of worry passed through her eyes, but she didn't let it show, fearing it would only make Jean more anxious. All she could do was to soothe him by saying, “Sometimes doctors tend to paint a grimmer picture than necessary, just as a precaution. It doesn't necessarily mean that things will turn out that way. Once we get there, I'll thoroughly assess the situation and figure out how to treat your dad.”

Jean nodded. “Okay.”

Halfway through, due to a route issue, they had to change planes once. After two days of travel, they finally landed.

Standing once again on the soil of Kingsview, breathing in the air of Kingsview, Neera had not the slightest bit of nostalgia.

Previously, due to the turmoil in Phison and a life filled with conflict, she longed for peaceful days in Kingsview and planned to return as soon as possible.

Surprisingly, the reason for returning completel
