The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 697

Jean looked at the triplets and asked Neera, “When can they leave?”

Neera sighed. "They have to stay the night for observation. We can't leave until after the check-up tomorrow morning."

She glanced at the clock. "Go ahead if you're busy, I'll be fine here."

Jean shook his head. "I'm not going, I'll stay here with you guys."

"What about the company? Don’t you have a lot of work?"

Jean signaled Ian and the latter left.

“I can work here too. Ian will bring over the paperwork later."

"You've been so busy lately and you had stopped the treatment for two days. You’re going to work here and spend time with the kids now. I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle it."

Jean thought about his seizure and didn’t mention it for the time being. “It’s fine, I took the medicine you gave me. I will be worried about them if I go back to the company. Staying with them will be better.”

Jean had only cared about work in the past, he was getting soft now.

"Alright then, feel free to tell me if you're not feeling well."

Half an hour later, Ian came back with the paperwork and laptop in his arms.

They ate something light for dinner as the kids were feeling unwell.

The kids obediently took their medicine after dinner.

Neera chatted with them in a low voice. They did not want to disturb Jean who was still working.

Harvey and Sammy fell asleep around 10 PM.

Penny held her stomach and grunted.

"What's wrong Penny?"

Neera noticed it and rushed to her.

"Mommy, my stomach hurts ..."

Neera immediately rubbed her tummy gently. Penny cuddled with Neera with tears in her eyes.

"Mommy, I want you to hold me to sleep…"

Neera coaxed her to sleep gently.

"Okay, it won’t hurt soon..."

Penny drifted off to dreamland after a while.

Neera fell asleep against the couch while holding her.

After finishing reading another report, Jean looked up to see Neera sleeping while holding Penny.

He went over to carry Penny and accidentally awakened Neera.

She was about to speak when Jean shushed her and pointed to Penny.

He adjusted Penny’s position and sat down beside Neera.

"Lean against me, I'll hold her,” he said softly.

"You've just finished working,” Neera whispered.

“Listen to me.”

Neera kept quiet and leaned against his shoulder before closing her eyes.
