The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean)
Chapter 15
Neera remained calm as though it was all within her expectations.
The other people seemed incredulous, especially Joanna!
That's impossible! How did she manage to treat Sire?
No one knew Jean's condition better than she did.
The last time he was down with a fever, he was unconscious for three full days before he woke up.
This time, he woke up in less than two hours.
Could that woman… be a more skillful doctor than I am?
Joanna was not ready to admit it. She went to check on Jean's condition herself.
Jean was slowly regaining consciousness. It took him some time before his eyes focused.
The first people he saw were Ian and Joanna standing next to the bed.
Ian was visibly emotional. "You're awake, Sire! I'm so glad you're okay!"
Joanna was also looking at him, though she was trying very hard to hide the infatuation in her eyes. "How do you feel now, Sire? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Jean frowned. He had a headache, his entire body was burning, and he felt weak.
Other than that, he was fine.
"My head is spinning, and I feel weak, but that's about it," he said hoarsely.
Ian quickly handed him a glass of warm water.
Joanna could not believe it. "That's it? Nothing else?"
"Mm," Jean replied after wetting his throat. He glanced at her and said, "I woke up pretty fast this time, and I didn't feel as bad. Looks like you've become more skillful."
Joanna's face turned red as though someone slapped her.
In all her years treating Jean's condition, he had never praised her before.
She was praised this time, but she was not the one who saved him!
Remembering how she had dressed down the other woman earlier, she felt that her face was burning.
"Heh." Neera, who had been watching from the sidelines, let out a chuckle.
Joanna's expression sank, and she glared at Neera. "Why are you laughing?"
"Nothing. I was suddenly reminded of a very funny joke. Please don't mind me," Neera said.
Joanna said angrily, "Why are you so smug? You got lucky this time! Don't tell me you really think that acupuncture can actually save Sire's life!"
Neera was not angry. She said, "You've already seen with your own eyes what acupuncture can do. The man is already awake. Isn't that the best proof you can get? I'm actually surprised that a doctor of medicine like you can claim that luck can save a patient…"
She turned her head and spoke to Ian, "I'd suggest you replace the doctor. Someone as unprofessional as her can actually get your employee killed one day!"
Ian had no retort to that.
"You!" Joanna was furious. She wanted to say something when Jean interrupted her.
"Why are you here?" Jean spoke, but the question was directed at Neera.
He remembered the incident at the baths yesterday night, which made him even more surprised to see her in his suite.
Neera smirked and looked into his eyes, but she did not answer her.
She was also thinking about the incident last night, and she was still angry about it.
Ian explained, "Sire, it's all thanks to her that you regained consciousness so quickly this time. She saved you, not Dr. Bridges."
