The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 698

Neera didn't sleep well because she was worried about the kids.

Jean didn't sleep at all. He worked on his phone while keeping watch over them.

The next morning, the triplets were discharged after some checkups.

Jean went back to rest but Ian had something to report to him.

“Sir, the person who was keeping an eye on Mr. Clarence reported that he sent someone to approach the shareholders from the neutral faction. He even went to meet Mr. Peter personally.”

"Peter?"

"Yes. Mr. Clarence is also the one who introduced Thora to Mr. Karl. Mr. Clarence fell ill and Thora treated him. That’s why he introduced her to Mr. Karl.”

“How did Thora know Clarence?” Didn’t she just come back from abroad?

“I’m still investigating it.”

“Peter is a righteous man. It’s not that easy for Clarence to get him on his side. He’s wasting his effort.”

Ian disagreed with Jean this time. “Mr. Peter had a son who was sick. Mr. Clarence might have used his son’s condition to press him. It would be hard to expel him from the board of directors if he had their votes.”

Jean frowned. "Since Clarence approached Peter, it means that he could have a chance to get even votes. Peter’s decision is crucial.”

Ian nodded. "Sir, maybe we can ask Mrs. Beauvort for help. She will be willing to help you.”

“It’s true, but you have to check out two things for me first. First, did Peter agree to Clarence's request? Did Clarence ask Thora to save Peter’s son? Could she save him? Second, go and find out the details about Peter’s son’s condition. Send it to me as soon as possible.”

Ian immediately went to do his tasks.

Jean couldn’t rest again. He went next door.

Neera asked him, "Why didn't you rest?"

The triplets were in good health again. They were having fun in the living room.

"Uncle Jean! You're here!"

"Why aren't you sleeping? You didn't even rest last night to take care of us!"

"You have to be good and listen to Mommy, if not Mommy will get angry!"

"Mommy is scary when she’s angry…”

Jean ruffled their hair and chatted with them for a while.

After that, he pulled Neera outside to the yard to talk about Peter’s son.

“Do you have time to give that boy a check-up and see if he could be cured?”

Neera had no problem with it since it could help Jean. “Sure. His body is getting weaker since he has been sick for so long. It could be dangerous for him. Send me his details as soon as possible.”

“Ian had gone to check it out. He will send it soon.” After saying that, Jean paused and added, "Thanks."

“For what? Why are you being polite to me?”

Jean laughed.

Neera held his hands and said softly, "You've always been the one helping me and protecting me. I haven't been able to do anything for you yet, it’s nice to have the chance now.”

Jean whispered, “I'm so lucky to have a wife like you. What could I ask for more?”

Neera blushed.

Ian returned in less than an hour with bad news.

“Sir, Mr. Peter had most likely agreed to Clarence. Thora went to the hospital to meet his son.”
