The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 597

Jean barely stood, his face was pale.

He looked at Neera's gloomy face, regardless of the presence of outsiders, he endured the pain, leaned over and kissed her side face.

"Don't worry, let's drive slowly."

Normally, Neera would blush.

However, now, worry and nervousness occupied her, leaving her no time to care about others.

She turned her head to look, met the man's deep trusting eyes, and took a deep breath.

"Sorry, I was short tempered."

She took the initiative to apologize to the front desk, but insisted, "However, now, no matter what, I have to go down the mountain!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around, gathered the suit jacket on Jean's body, put her arms through his arms, and hugged him tightly.

"Let's go to the parking lot, you lean against me and walk."

Jean's eyes, which showed obvious pain, were extremely gloomy.

He was out of breath, and responded softly, "Yes."

Seeing this, the front desk hurried over to help.

It was raining heavily outside.

Neera held the umbrella with one hand, and most of the umbrella was tilted towards the people next to her.

Jean noticed the rain drops on her shoulders and half of her hair that was wet by the rain, and his eyebrows furrowed deeply.

"Don't tilt it towards me, you're all drenched."

He raised his hand, his fingers trembling slightly, trying to push the handle of the umbrella towards her.

Neera insisted, "Leave me alone, your body is the most important thing now, bear with it, let's go faster, we can get in the car right away."

Jean pursed his lips, he really didn't have the strength to fight her, so he could only quicken his pace.

After getting in the car, Neera turned on the heater first.

She found a spare blanket from the back of the car and covered him up.

After that, she slammed the accelerator and drove down the mountain.

The road down the mountain was not as muddy and slippery as imagined.

The bigger obstacle was the increasingly heavy rain and fog, which seriously affected the visibility.

Coupled with the winding mountain road, Neera was more nervous.

She kept telling herself to be calm and steady.

However, she felt all kinds of emotions, which made it difficult for her to calm down, her whole body was tense, and the hands holding the steering wheel were trembling uncontrollably.

Next to her, Jean was leaning weakly on the back of the chair, his sanity was clouded by the severe pain, and his eyes lost their focus several times.

However, he forced himself to stay up and kept observing Neera's situation.

The slight trembling did not escape his eyes.

"Don’t worry…"

His voice was low and hoarse, as if there was sand in his throat, he sounded a little rough.

"You drive slowly, I can hold on, and nothing will happen."

His words seemed to have some kind of magical power, and Neera's mood gradually calmed down miraculously.

After a while, she said, "Okay, you hold on, we shall be there soon."

In fact, Jean felt so painful that he almost passed out.

However, afraid that she would be worried, he still held himself together and comforted her gently, "Well, don't worry, I'm not that fragile..."

An hour later, Neera stopped the car.

Instead of going home, she chose a closer research center.

After getting out of the car with an umbrella, she quickly went around the front of the car, went to the passenger seat to open the door, helped Jean out, and took him upstairs.

There was plenty of warm air in the car, but when Jean got out of the car, his hands were still cold.

Neera's heart felt as though it was cut by a knife.

This feeling was only felt whenever her kids or her aunt was sick.

Now, there was one more.

She raised her eyes to look at the man's pale face, her eye sockets were red, and she forced back the mist in her eyes.

After going up, she helped Jean into the consultation room and treated him quickly.

Half an hour later, after the injection, Jean had completely fallen into a coma.

Neera stood by the hospital bed, her heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, and the distress was pervasive.

The attack this time was menacing.

She was worried that he would have any other symptoms, so she barely walked away, and did not dare to look away.

Most of her clothes had been soaked by the rain, but she didn't care about it.

She didn't leave even after the injection was finished.

Fearing that Jean would get high fever in the night, she didn't dare to close her eyes the whole night.

Fortunately, in the second half of the night, Jean's condition gradually stabilized, and he did not have any symptoms of fever.

When the dawn was about to break, Neera's heart that had been suspended all the time finally calmed down a little.

She was really tired, and because of the rain, she had a headache, so she lay down beside the bed and fell asleep.

She was awakened by someone when she opened her eyes again.

The time was eight o'clock in the morning.

Osbert and Luigi came to work, and Thora was with them.

Osbert looked concerned, "Neera, why are you sleeping here? I saw the lights in here, and I thought something was wrong, what..."

He looked at Jean on the bed suspiciously, "What happened? What happened to Jean?"

Before Neera could answer, Thora mocked her.

"Bringing outsiders to the research center, Neera, well done!"

Neera finally came back to her senses, frowned and looked at her, "What are you doing here? If I remember correctly, you have already been kicked out of the R&D team, this is not the place for you!"

Thora snorted coldly with a straight face.

"I left something here before, I am here to pick it up, can't I? Do you really think I like to stay in your crappy place!"

Neera would rather be cold-hearted than polite.

"Take it and leave quickly, don't get in the way here!"

"Neera! You—"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Luigi was relatively calm, and immediately stepped forward to interrupt Thora.

He looked at Neera and asked politely, "What's wrong with Mr. Beauvort? He looks terrible."
