The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 708

Ian was worried and said, "Mrs. Beauvort, will the shareholders meeting go smoothly tomorrow morning?"

Neera spoke confidently. "Don't worry; I've got it covered."

Ian pondered for a while. In the past, these words were always spoken by Mr. Jean. But hearing them now from Mrs. Beauvort strangely made me feel at ease. I could not help but think that they were becoming more alike.

That night, Jean's health was still in bad shape.

Neera said, "You can't leave like this; you'll have to stay here for another night."

Jean replied. "Okay, I'll go with your plan."

Neera said, "The bed here isn't comfortable; let's go to my room. Although we could not leave the research center, the sleeping location could be changed.

Neera held Jean and said, "While it might be comparable to your home, at least it's slightly more comfortable than the hospital bed."

Jean leaned on Neera and said, "No problem. To me, any place with you is comfortable."

Neera was delighted and said, "So, does that mean that you need to stay here for these two days?"

Jean chuckled and said, "As long as you're willing, I can stay there as long as you like."

They chatted for a while before reaching the room.

After a shower, Neera called the triplets. I had not been home for a few days; they must be worried!

As expected, the triplets’ worried voices came from the other end.

"Mommy, why haven't you come home these past two days? Are you busy?"

"Uncle Jean hasn't come back either!"

"Mommy, did something happen to you two?"

Neera reassured them, "Uncle Jean and I can't return home for a while since we are busy with work outside. Be good and listen to Auntie Zuniga’s words."

At first, the triplets did not believe her.

"Really? What about Uncle Jean? Is he with you right now? We really miss Uncle Jean and want to see him!"

Neera chuckled and switched to a video call, showing Jean on the screen.

Jean waved at the camera and said, "I'm here with your mommy; don't worry. Now go to sleep. Follow Auntie Zuniga’s instructions, too!"

Seeing him, the triplets finally felt relieved. They had been worried about Jean and Neera for the past two days. Due to the lighting, they didn't notice the unusual pallor on Jean's face.

"We’ll miss you! See you two soon!"

The triplets gently said goodbye and ended the call reluctantly.

Their reaction touched Neera. She felt somehow happy.

That night, Neera and Jean slept cuddled together.

The next morning, Neera woke up while Jean was still asleep. She leaned over and gave him a soft kiss in secret.

Then, she got up quietly and went to freshen up.

Jean finally woke up when Ian arrived with breakfast and a suit.

Jean’s condition seemed to have improved slightly, but his complexion was still pale.

After sitting up, Jean held Neera and said, "Help me get dressed."

Neera looked somewhat dumbfounded and said, "Are you sure?"

Jean said calmly, "Of course. What's the big deal? We're married."

Neera blushed and retorted, "But we do not have the marriage certificate yet."

Jean nonchalantly said, "We're dating, then. It's perfectly normal for a girlfriend to help her boyfriend get dressed."

Neera fell silent. I don't believe you!

Jean smirked and teased, "Besides, if you want to get the marriage certificate, we can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now."

Neera pondered for a while. Is this a proposal? What kind of proposal is this?

Neera stared at Jean and said, "Just shut up."

"Alright." Jean nodded and said, "I'm an injured patient; you should take care of me."

Neera was at a loss for words. Jean was exceptionally good at manipulating me.

Neera had no other choice but to help Jean get dressed. However, she hesitated when she was about to put on his pants.

Neera said, "You can manage that yourself. If not, I'll call Ian in to help you!

With that, she hurriedly left.

Jean burst into laughter when he saw what had happened.

When Neera returned, Jean had already finished dressing up. Neera even brought a wheelchair with her.

Ian said, "Mrs. Beauvort, why did you bring a wheelchair? You can't possibly expect Mr. Jean to appear at the company like this?"

Neera responded calmly, "Jean is still weak. He might not last through the shareholders meeting."

Scratching his head, Ian said hesitantly, "But showing up at the company like this... I wonder what others will think."

Neera said, "Let them think whatever. Nothing is more important than his health."

Without any complaints, Jean simply sat in the wheelchair.

...

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Beauvort Group.

The shareholder voting meeting was in full swing, and all shareholders had arrived. They were just waiting for Jean.

At exactly ten o'clock, Jean arrived in a wheelchair. Everyone in the room buzzed with surprise.

Frederic and Joseph even stood up immediately in shock.

"Jean, what happened? Why do you look so pale?"

Jean replied calmly, "It's nothing. I’m fine."

Seeing that Jean would not offer more details, they turned their attention to Neera. However, Neera remained silent and stared coldly around the room.

Jean said, "Let's start the meeting."
