The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 420
Jean's expression immediately turned grave.
He was surprised that his mother still harbored this thought.
He wanted to defend Neera, but he knew his mother's temperament. Considering she had not fully recovered, he decided not to argue with her.
"The poison had just been cleansed from your body, and you're unwell. I'll let you get some rest now," he said.
He nodded at Frederic and went to the neighboring ward.
When he returned, the triplets and Adriana were gone. He asked, "Where's everyone?"
Neera responded, "They just left. I'm fine now. They don't have to stay here and take care of me."
"Mmm," Jean nodded.
He walked to the sickbed and sat down on the chair next to it.
Neera curiously asked, "What's the matter? Is something wrong?"
He hesitated briefly and said, "Hmm, I've got something to say."
Inexplicably, Neera felt a tightness in her heart. She subconsciously grabbed the quilt, but her tone was calm.
"What is it? Say it!"
His gaze darkened. He locked his gaze on her and stated, "I want to apologize for my parents' previous attitude towards you. At first, my mom misunderstood you because of Joanna. Then she spoke harshly to you because of the children. I'm sorry. I know you have been tolerating everything. It's entirely my fault."
Neera was stunned. She was shocked that this was the topic he was getting at.
This man had always been lofty, proud, and cold. He had never submitted to anyone, but he sincerely apologized to her today.
She looked straight into his eyes and finally responded after a while.
"It's fine. I didn't take it to heart. You don't have to feel sorry for me. Our marriage was a sham to begin with. When we signed the contract, we agreed that I would cooperate with you and act like a dutiful wife in front of your family. As for my children, I'm to blame for not mentioning it to them before. Her dissatisfaction is understandable."
She paused momentarily and hesitated a little before saying, "But if it's bothered them, we can... terminate our contract in advance. Don't worry, even without that contract, I will keep my promise and treat you until you're fully recovered."
When those words blurted out of her mouth, for some reason, both of them felt uncomfortable.
Neera's hand, gripping the corner of the quilt, tightened even more.
Jean adopted a grave demeanor. He remained silent for a long time. After a while, Adam's apple bobbled, and he softly replied, "We can talk about this later. There's no rush."
He gave her a deep and long look. His expression was unreadable.
…
Neera happened to look down and didn't see this. She simply responded, "Oh, okay."
That night, she lay on her side and brooded. Eventually, she fell asleep.
Jean remained by her side the whole time. He kept going over her words in his mind.
Technically speaking, he should be pleased to get a divorce. After all, he never wanted to get married in the first place, especially not with someone he didn't love. He didn't want to get married from the start.
However, he didn't feel relieved when he heard the word 'divorce'.
On the contrary, he felt as though a weight was pressing down on him, and he was dissatisfied.
He furrowed his brows, and his gaze unconsciously fell on Neera. It took him a long time to sort out his feelings.
It was late at night when he finally felt drowsy. He leaned back in his chair and fell asleep.
...
The next day, after breakfast, Neera got out of bed and exercised a little.
Following that, she went to the next door to check on Wrenn.
Kyra and Dandy had arrived at the hospital, demonstrating they were worried about Wrenn.
Neera saw the affection Wrenn had for Kyra, but it didn't bother her.
She approached them and greeted Frederic before turning her attention to Wrenn. Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
"I came to check how you're doing," she said.
Wrenn was biased against her, but she was not unreasonable nor did she give her the long face. She agreed to be examined.
"I appreciate your help in curing the poison in my body," she said.
Although she wasn't giving Neera a cold shoulder, her tone was still cold. She was incredibly polite and indirectly indicated that she didn't consider Neera as a family.
Neera paid no attention to this. She just replied politely, "It's okay."
After that, she began to examine her.
Kyra saw everything. Hope started to spark up in her heart again.
It seemed like the Beauvorts disapproved of Neera. I bet the two would get divorced in the future.
Looks like that useless woman is not entirely useless after all.
