The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 927

After a while, Neera left.

Upon reaching home, she told Adriana about Avery's situation and her plans.

Adriana sighed. “If that's the case, won't you have to spend a lot of time treating him?”

“Indeed, his situation is quite unique. I've never dealt with wug before, so this time, I'll need to devote a lot of time and energy. After all, it's not a field I'm familiar with. Everything needs to be explored carefully. We can't rush things.”

Sigh.

Adriana sighed once again. “I thought you can take a break since you're here. But instead, you're even busier than when you were back home. There's something going on almost every day.”

Neera chuckled. “What can I do? Life is full of troubles. But it's okay. Besides, I'm quite curious about this black magic. Having the opportunity to handle it personally could improve my medical skills.”

“You, you always go all out every time.”

Adriana tapped her forehead lightly, then said, “In that case, I'll handle work matters for you. You just focus on dealing with your issues, no need to worry about anything else.”

“Okay.”

Neera nodded in agreement since she would be spending the next few days in the research center.

Before setting off, she spent quite some time coaxing Jean.

Jean felt jealous at the thought that Neera would be spending the next few days busying herself for the sake of someone else.

However, he respected her decision and admired her serious attitude. Hence, he had no choice but to let her be.

After sending her to the research institute, he received a call from Wrenn.

He no longer resisted his parents' calls and his attitude toward them had softened.

“Mom, what's the matter?”

Wrenn gently said, “There is something I'd like to ask of you. Kyra has been in Essley recently, hasn't she? Her health seems to be in a bit of a bad shape, and I'm not quite sure what's going on. She told me that she had already seen a doctor, but they couldn't find the cause of her illness. Now, she's alone and very ill. The Marks family has come to us for help, and considering our relationship, it wouldn't be right to ignore them. So, I wanted to ask, could we possibly get Neera to help take a look at Kyra?”

Upon hearing this, Jean's eyebrows furrowed.

Despite his strong dislike for Kyra, Jean couldn't bring himself to agree, especially considering how poorly Kyra had treated Neera in the past.

He responded in a somewhat indifferent tone, “There are plenty of renowned doctors in the world, not just one. If one or two can't cure her, she can always seek help elsewhere.”

Wrenn let out a deep sigh. “I anticipated you'd say that, Jean. But the situation with Kyra is incredibly dire right now. Her life might even be at risk. Regardless of your feelings toward her, there's still a deep bond between our two families. The Marks family only has this one daughter, so I implore you, please, help her.”

Her tone now carried a sincere sense of self-reflection.

“I know. I upset you before by trying to set you up with Kyra. You didn't think much of her, I understand that. But in reality, Kyra didn't do anything wrong. It all comes down to me meddling, giving her false hopes she shouldn't have had. Later on, I let her down again. I've always felt guilty toward her. Jean, for my sake, could you please help me repay this favor?”

Jean's brows furrowed even more deeply, and after a few moments of silence, he maintained his polite but firm refusal.

“This matter isn't something I can decide on my own. We need to seek Neera's opinion. If she's unwilling, no one can force her.”

Wrenn paused for a moment, then reluctantly agreed. “Okay, you can plead on behalf of Kyra. I believe Neera is not the type to disregard the greater good. After all, this is a matter of life and death.”

Her words seemed to irritate Jean, and a hint of gloom appeared on his sharply defined face.

“Yes, Neera knows what's right, but when dealing with certain people, there's no need to be overly considerate. If she doesn't want to help, that's her prerogative. No one can impose moral constraints on her.”

Wrenn felt a lump in her throat but chose not to respond further. Following his lead, she said, “All right, you're right. I'll wait for your update.”

After hanging up the phone, Jean fell into deep thought.

He glanced toward the direction of the research institute. After a moment, he said in a cold voice, “Go and find out where Kyra is.”

In the front row, Ian roughly overheard their conversation.

Upon hearing this order, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. “Mr. Beauvort, you couldn't possibly be thinking of asking Mrs. Beauvort to help with the treatment, could you?”

The curve of Jean's thin lips was sharp, and his voice was even more cold and indifferent.

“She's already so busy, I can't bear to have her waste time and energy on someone insignificant. If Kyra really has a problem, we can seek help from other doctors. There's no need to bother Neera.”

After nodding in response, Ian drove off to the branch office.

Little did they know, not long after they left, someone came looking for them at the research institute.
