The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 722

Neera returned to the on-call room and slept for two hours. She slept more peacefully than before.

When she woke up, she looked rejuvenated.

The first thing that crossed her mind when she opened her eyes was Jean's condition.

Osbert entered the room when she was leaving.

"Why did you wake up so quickly?" he asked.

She sighed helplessly, saying, "There's nothing I can do about this. It's difficult to have a sound sleep with so much on my mind, but I do feel a bit better."

Observing her closely, Osbert acknowledged that the rosiness had returned to her cheeks.

Neera immediately grasped the key point and asked, "What brings you here? Has something happened to Jean?"

He gave a reassuring nod, saying, "He had a minor episode earlier. I didn't disturb you since it wasn't serious and it passed swiftly. He's still unconscious, but there's nothing to worry about."

Hearing this, a weight seemed to lift off Neera's shoulders.

Osbert added, "The kids are here."

Stunned, she asked in surprise, "How did they get here?"

Finally cracking a grin, Osbert said, "Auntie Zuniga brought them here. They're outside."

Neera hurriedly left the room. The triplets were standing outside the consultation room, peering through the glass door.

As Neera approached, Auntie Zuniga quickly greeted her and explained, "The kids had been worried about you and Mr. Beauvort. They insisted on making sure you were okay. I had no choice but to bring them here."

After expressing her appreciation, Neera looked at the triplets.

The trio rushed toward her, their faces etched with concern. They were heartbroken to see her pale complexion.

"Mommy, you must have been so tired over the past few days. You have to take good care of yourself!"

"Remember, you can't help others if you're not well yourself. Don't wear yourself out. We would be worried about you."

Neera smiled softly as she looked at them, warmth flooding her heart.

"Alright, I hear you," she said.

The triplets probed, "What about Uncle Jean? How is he doing? Is he getting better?"

They were hesitant to disturb their dad earlier and decided against visiting him in the ward. They could only make out his silhouette when they peered through the glass door, but their hearts ached for him just the same.

Neera gently rubbed each of their heads. She soothed them gently, saying, "He's okay, but you didn't come here at the right time. He's still in a deep sleep."

"Phew, that's a relief!"

The triplets didn't mind; they breathed out a sigh of relief in unison.

"It's alright. We're relieved as long as he's fine. Uncle Jean will surely get better with you looking after him!"

While the four of them were conversing, Wrenn and Frederic happened to exit the guest room.

When the triplets saw them, their expressions subtly changed, but they had no intention to greet them.

They knew their grandparents disliked their mother and always made things difficult for her. Moreover, they were the reason their father suffered from this severe illness. Therefore, the children didn't feel like greeting them at all.

Hmph, forget about manners! This time, we're going to do as we please!

When the couple saw triplets, complicated expressions were displayed on their faces.

Neera's demeanor remained as cold as ever.

She stood up straight, recalled her previous decision, and determined that it was time to discuss something.

"Auntie Zuniga, please take the children home," she quietly instructed.

The kids complied and said their goodbyes.

Subsequently, Neera approached the elderly couple and said indifferently, "Let's talk."

They were astounded. She had treated them as non-existent recently. When she suddenly approached them, they were unsure of what she wanted to discuss.

Ian quickly figured out the situation. He was visibly nervous, as if faced with a tricky predicament.

He silently cursed.

Damn it! Mr. Beauvort is still unconscious. Is Mrs. Beauvort going to annul their marriage at this critical moment?

After that, he quickly stepped forward and tried to talk her out of it.

"Mrs. Beauvort, my boss, is still in a coma. Don't you think it would be wiser for us to wait for him to regain consciousness before we discuss anything?"

Neera cast a glance at him; her gaze was cold and devoid of any emotion.

"I believe it's time. Some matters can't be put off indefinitely. Whether he's conscious or not, this needs to be addressed. I'll let him know later."

Ian felt a fierce thump in his heart. He grew increasingly anxious as he anticipated the upcoming conversation.

Yet, despite his internal turmoil, he could only observe silently as the trio made their way into the guest room.

They seated themselves on opposite sides.

Frederic was calm. He wondered, "What do you wish to discuss?"

Neera went straight to the point, declaring, "I want to discuss the termination of our marriage."

Her direct statement stunned both Frederic and Wrenn.

Before either could get a chance to respond, Neera firmly voiced her stance.

"I don't see the point in continuing this union. At first, everything started because of you two. Jean and I were coerced into this marriage, neither of us giving our consent. Now, I want to officially declare to both of you. I want to make it official before you two, from this moment onward, the two of us will no longer be in a marital relationship."
