Everyone was astonished.

It was Jean who came in to check on the situation. In that critical moment, he held her in his arms,
eximing, “Neera! Neera!”
Seeing her face as pale as paper, Jean felt as if something was gripping his heart. His heart skipped a
beat as he called her name aloud.
Yet, the person lying on his chest did not react at all.
The crowd, who had just regained their senses, were terrified and rushed forward to check.
They were relieved to learn that it was not a grave situation. “Mr. Beauvort, don’t worry. Nancy is likely
just overly exhausted and temporarily unconscious. She should be fine once we give her some fluids
and let her rest well.”
Jean’s facial features were taut, his chin slightly pulled in, and he nodded a bit stiffly.
Despite that, Neera developed a high fever and fell seriously ill in the middle of the night.
She had truly been too exhausted these past two months.
After a long period of research and treatment, coupled with a hectic work routine, she had been
working nonstop. In the end, her body just could not keep up with it anymore.
Jean stayed by her side and refused to leave even for a moment.
His heart ached as if it were being torn apart when he watched her cheeks flush an unnatural red and
her lips turn pale.
Her fragility rendered him powerless, with nothing but a heart heavy with anguish.
Neera did not wake up all night, and her fever showed no signs of subsiding.
As dawn broke, Jean’s anxiety intensified. He had no option but to summon the medical team. “Why
hasn’t her fever subsided after an entire night?”
His face was stern and cold, his voice harsh, even carrying a hint of malice.
The staff member was so terrified that he was at a loss for words, trembling uncontrobly.
Although he understood that Jean’s behavior stemmed from concern for Neera’s condition rather than
genuine hostility toward him, he was still so terrified that his heart trembled.
The man’s expression was just too terrifying.
Fortunately, at that moment, Isabe received the news and hurried to the scene. She intervened with
the medical staff, extricating him from the situation and allowing him to leave first.
Next, she stepped forward to check on Neera.

“She currently has a high fever. Let’s employ a physiological method to lower her temperature for the
time being. We also need to cleanse certain parts of her body with alcohol.” After exining, she
turned to Jean and asked, “Would you like to do it, or should I?”
It would not be appropriate for him to administer the cooling treatment by wiping her body.
With that thought in mind, he spoke in a deep voice. “It’s better if you do it. I’ll step out and wait.”
Isabelle hummed in response.
Without much hesitation, Isabe said, “Please arrange for a basin of warm water, alcohol, and a
towel.”
In no time, the staff brought in the items needed for the job and then stepped out.
Isabe’s heart ached when she saw Neera in such a state. She gently undid Neera’s clothes and
carefully wiped her down.
Given Neera’s unconscious state and her weakened, limp body, Isabe could not handle it alone. She
had no option but to step outside and call for Jean. “Could youe in and give me à hand, please? I
can’t turn her over by myself.”
Jean, who was waiting in the hallway, hesitated when he heard that. He stood still, unsure whether to
go in or not.
At that moment, realization dawned on Isabe that the two of them had not advanced their rtionship
to the next level.
However, given the current unique circumstances, it was not the right time to have so many
reservations.
Isabe immediately inquired, “You’ve proposed to her, haven’t you? You do n to marry her
eventually, don’t you? What’s your hesitation? Or you just don’t want to take responsibility?”
Jean immediately denied it. “Of course not.”
Having said that, he pursed his lips and strode in.
The two of them quickly sprang into action. Jean helped Neera sit up where Isabe took off her
clothes and helped her wipe her body.
During the process, Jean subconsciously shifted his gaze elsewhere.
Isabe noticed, thinking to herself that this man was quite the gentleman.
As for Jean, he seemed remarkablyposed on the surface, not uttering a word, but his heart was
racing at an rmingly fast pace
The most intimate moments he had shared with Neera were nothing more than her helping him satisfy
his sexual needs with her hands.
In reality, he hardly barely touched her.
Firstly, he refrained from touching her, fearing that he might not be able to control himself.
Secondly, he held deep affection for her, and as a result, he treated her with the utmost respect in
every way.
If she were shy and could not ovee that obstacle, he would never overstep his boundaries, not
until she willingly allowed him to take the next step.
That was why he was in extreme agony at this moment
Although he was concerned about her and tried not to let those feelings consume him, witnessing the
woman he loved enduring it all right before his eyes made it difficult to suppress those thoughts, just
like any other man.
Fortunately, Isabe was swift. It did not take her long to finish the wiping process, after which she
assisted Neera in getting dressed once more.
Neera was oblivious, leaning gently against Jean, her body burning hot as if it were a furnace.
Due to her fever, she was in agony all over her body. Even in her delirium, she remained restless,
asionally letting out soft moans.
Jean could not help but feel profound sympathy for Neera as he observed her suffering. He wished he
could swap ces with her and bear the illness in her stead.
