The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 164

Half an hour later, Ian carefully helped Jean, who was still unconscious, onto the bed.

Neera stepped forward to check his condition, relieved to see that his face was relaxed. Satisfied with the progress, she returned to the sofa to wait.

Ian knew Neera would be staying here tonight, so he made sure to be available if needed. "Ms. Garcia, I'm sorry for troubling you by having you stay here tonight. I'll be in the living room downstairs. If you need anything, just call me, and I'll come up right away."

Neera nodded.

Soon, Ian left, leaving the room quiet and peaceful.

The night grew darker, and the sound of thunder and lightning outside gradually subsided, along with the rain.

Having been disturbed and active for so long, Neera felt overwhelming exhaustion creeping over her. However, her concern for Jean's condition kept her from fully surrendering to sleep. To stay awake, she decided to distract herself by reading emails from the company.

As time passed, the rain eventually ceased.

Jean remained in a deep coma, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

An hour later, Neera could no longer resist the drowsiness, and she finally succumbed to sleep, leaning against the sofa.

However, after a while, she was awakened by some slight movements.

Opening her eyes, she saw that it was Jean who had stirred.

Immediately alert, she got up to check his condition.

Jean's face was flushed unusually, and he appeared to be in discomfort.

She reached out to touch his forehead...

Instantly, a scorching temperature was felt against her fingertips.

Jean had a fever!

However, Neera remained composed, as she expected this to happen.

Quickly bringing water from the bathroom, she twisted a towel and began physically reducing his fever.

Though Jean was completely unconscious, his furrowed brows indicated that he was suffering greatly at the moment.

Neera stood quietly by the bed, diligently changing the towels to provide relief.

Two hours passed, but Jean's fever showed no signs of reducing; in fact, it seemed to be worse.

Feeling his forehead, Neera furrowed.

While she expected his fever, an unrelenting fever was concerning.

After contemplating for a moment, she decided to give him a fever-reducing injection.

Thankfully, this time the injection was effective.

As the sky darkened, Jean's body temperature gradually began to recede.

After a night of constant attention, Neera was exhausted. She could not find the energy to move to the sofa, so she leaned against a nearby chair and planned to take a quick nap.

However, her fatigue was so profound that she fell into a deep sleep almost immediately.

The next day, as Jean awakened, the first thing he saw was the petite woman lying beside his bed.

Her hair was loose, and she was still in her pajamas. Her delicate and flawless face was supported by her hand, close to him.

In the sunlight, the tiny fuzz on her face was visible.

Her warm breath tickled his fingers.

Jean was momentarily stunned, recalling the events of the previous night when he lost control. However, the details were hazy in his memory.

Despite this, he felt a sense of relief that he was not as weak as he feared. He had enough strength to sit up.

As Jean woke up, it was the first time he had seen Neera in this state.

Just then, Ian entered the room quietly and was surprised to find Jean awake. He immediately asked about his condition.

Jean's lips were slightly dry, and his voice sounded raspy as he replied, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

His attention then shifted to Neera, and he asked in perplex, "Why is she sleeping here?"

Ian quickly recounted the events of the previous night, including Neera's decision to stay and take care of Jean.

Upon hearing the whole story, Jean was left stunned for a while.

He had not expected so much to happen while he was unconscious.

Concern flickered in his eyes as he gazed at Neera's sleeping face. He noticed the gauze on her arm and the bloodstains on it.

Did she get hurt?

The bloodstains indicated that the wound was likely not too serious, but he could not overlook it either.

Upon frowning, he asked, "How did she get hurt?"
