The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 702

Neera didn't expect that Jean still cared about her at this moment.

Jean sighed and kissed her.

"I'm sorry. It was my fault for neglecting my health. I made you worried and sad. I had headaches after being busy for a few days in a row, I thought it was because I didn't rest well. I didn't expect to have a seizure at the Beauvort Manor. They took advantage of it. I will endure the pain during your treatment later. Do whatever you want to me. It’s a punishment for me.”

Neera was angry again.

“What punishment? Do you know how much it hurts your body every time you have a seizure? I used every top-tier medicine on you and took good care of you. But what have you done? I told you to inform me every time you feel uncomfortable. Why didn’t you tell me about your headache?”

She was getting angrier by the moment.

“How could your family do this to you? They harmed you and wasted all my efforts. Why? Why do you have to suffer because of them?”

She questioned Jean angrily and her tears fell again.

Jean quickly hugged her and coaxed her.

“I’m sorry…”

It was the first time that he felt helpless.

"Don't be angry, Neera. I'm sorry, it's my fault…"

Neera finally hugged him back tightly. “How could I calm down? I can’t wait to kill Karl and Thora now!”

Jean knew that Neera had these emotions because she cared about him.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have neglected myself. I'll never do it again, believe me."

Neera sniffled and pushed him away.

“Don’t blame yourself for it.”

She pointed to the bed.

"Hurry up and lie down, I'm going to start your treatment."

Neera started to sterilize the needles.

Jean was about to say something, but he paused when he saw Osbert and Luigi.

"Neera, here are the medicines you asked for."

"Put him under anesthesia first."

Osbert took the syringe and injected Jean.

"Jean, this is an anesthetic that will ease your pain. Take the painkillers after the treatment."

Jean nodded and thanked him.

Ten minutes later, Neera began the dry needling session.

Luigi was in charge of assisting Neera.

Jean was still conscious although he was under anesthesia. His eyes never left Neera.

Neera was so focused and serious that she did not even look at him.

It took more than an hour to insert the needles because the meridian points were at dangerous places.

Neera was exhausted.

"Neera, are you alright? Come on, sit here and take a break." Osbert helped her to the side.

“I’m fine,” Neera mumbled.

She looked at Jean and said, “The anesthetic will wear off in a while and pain will spread throughout your body. You will have to withstand it and you won't have to suffer so much in the future, otherwise…”

“I can withstand it. Don’t worry.” Jean cut her off.

Neera looked away. She didn't want to cry anymore in front of him.

“Remove the needles later,” Neera instructed Luigi.

“Alright. Take a rest outside. I’ll watch over him.” He signaled Osbert with his eyes.

Osbert immediately helped Neera out.
