Chapter 311 One–Sided Pursuit
Jean paid little attention to Joanna’s expression or mood, completely indifferent to her presence.
With Wrenn resting, he proceeded to visit his father in the study.
Frederic had refrained from visiting the company because of Wrenn’s illness, choosing instead to remain at home. Her well–being weighed heavily on his mind, and he found himself unable to focus on work during this time.
As Jean entered the study, he was greeted by the sight of his father, seated behind his desk, a contemplative expression on his face as he leisurely smoked a cigar.
The haze of smoke enveloped the room, the scent of tobacco permeating every corner.
Jean’s brow twitched as he approached, taking a seat across from his father. He offered a reminder, “Mom will be mad if she catches you smoking again.”
Frederic glanced at him before lifting the cigar to his lips, exhaling a plume of smoke, and casually dropping a

Jean cast a glance at his father’s silver hair but remained silent.
“It’s unclear if your condition will improve. Your mother’s health is fragile right now, and that has me concerned. If anything were to happen between the two of you…”
His voice trailed off, the weight of his worry evident. “What would I do then?”
Sympathy softening his expression, Jean spoke up, “Mom only caught a cold. Are you jinxing her? Besides, my health is improving. Neera is helping me seek treatment, and my condition has rarely flared up. Isn’t that a positive sign? You shouldn’t be such a pessimist.”
Frederic’s words caught in his throat, the trembling cigar nearly falling onto his lap.
He stared angrily at Jean, his frustration evident as he exclaimed, “I’m worried about you as well!”
At the same time, he pressed his cigar into the ashtray, his expression unwavering as he added, “Plus, you’re not fully recovered yet. I won’t find peace until you make a full comeback. It’s a constant worry for me.”
