The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 733

Frederic picked it up and saw the title as "contract".

He was stunned and murmured, "What kind of contract is this?"

In puzzlement, he took the liberty to flip through it. Once he went through the contents, he was stupefied.

"You two! The two of you have agreed to a fake marriage from the beginning?"

"Fake their marriage?"

Wrenn was equally dumbfounded. She took the document from her husband to see it for herself.

Jean confessed, pushing down the ache in his heart.

He said with a heavy tone, "Indeed, neither of us wanted this marriage initially. I had her sign the contract and insist it remain confidential.

"Now both of you are aware. Neera has never been interested in our family's riches. She never planned to take anything from us. The circumstances forced her to sign that contract. She no longer has any feelings. Now, she chose to end the agreement without claiming a single dime."

Frederic and Wrenn remained silent after their son revealed the truth, as they were experiencing a flood of emotions.

How did we misinterpret everything so gravely? Our unfounded suspicions, doubts, and criticisms against her now seemed ludicrous.

Despite our harsh words and evident hostility, Neera always kept her promise. She bore all our unfair treatment silently. What have we done?

Wrenn clutched the contract, her face etched with remorse.

Frederic was deeply moved. He apologized, saying, "Jean, we truly didn't expect this."

Jean remained silent throughout.

With a bitter expression, Frederic added, "What plans do you have for the future?"

Aware of his father's implications, Jean responded swiftly and resolutely, "I don't care how we start; my only desire is to be with her now and always."

Hearing his determination, his parents hesitated.

"But... while you were unconscious, Neera had already approached us about ending your marriage. She appears to have made her decision. Do you think the two of you can..."

Mend things?

Jean felt a tightness in her chest upon hearing this, as if an invisible hand was clenching it, causing him unbearable pain.

He had long suspected Neera wanted to end things, but the confirmation still hurt.

After he took a few deep breaths, he swiftly regained his composure.

Jean reflected, "It's probably for the better. She never truly wanted this marriage. This contract has always been a barrier between us; we didn't have a solid foundation. It's better to end it."

Ending the contract doesn't mean giving up their bond. This could be the route to a more genuine connection.

Jean understood her feelings and was firm in his belief in the love they shared. He was determined to win her back and make Neera his rightful wife for the rest of his life.

He stopped halfway through his speech.

His unfinished speech confused Frederic and Wrenn, and they were unsure of his true intentions.

Seeing his unusually calm expression made them grow uneasy.

Wrenn worried he might be upset. She tried to comfort him, saying, "The priority now is for you to recover. We can sort this out when you're stronger, alright?"

Without offering much of a response, Jean simply remarked, "I need to rest. Please leave."

Recognizing the need for him to get some rest, they quickly complied.

Outside, Wrenn's forced expression crumbled; she was devastated, and her eyes had turned red.

"Do you think he resents us? We made so many mistakes. They've played a role in Neera's decision, haven't they?"

Frederic was uncertain, and he could only offer a weary sigh in return.

...

Back in Essley, Adriana's second check-up result was consistent with the first result.

Neera leveraged the fact that ANXIN Group owned a portion of the hospital and promptly consulted with the medical professionals after receiving the test results.

By the end of the day, the surgery plan had been established.

After thorough consultations, Neera went to great lengths to ensure that every possible precaution was taken to minimize risks.

She arrived at the hospital ward by eight at night, exhausted from the day's events.

With Chad's company and the triplets cheering her up, despite her medical condition, Adriana appeared to be in good spirits.

Taking a moment to observe the heartwarming scene from the doorway, Neera then stepped inside.

"Aunt Adriana, how are you feeling today?"

Lifting her gaze, Adriana replied with a heartwarming smile, "I'm doing well; no discomfort whatsoever. Don't worry."

Neera nodded and explained, "The surgery is scheduled in three days. There's minimal risk, and today's results were good. It's just a tumor, nothing worse. Once it's removed, you get some rest. You should bounce back in no time."

Having complete faith in Neera's capabilities, Adriana responded with a hopeful smile, "Alright, I'll be compliant throughout the process. With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."
