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 lan and Joanna standing next to the bed.
lan 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?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
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.
lan 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 lan, “I’d suggest you replace the doctor. Someone as
unprofessional as her can actually get your employee killed one day!”
lan 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.
lan explained, “Sire, it’s all thanks to her that you regained consciousness so quickly
this time. She saved you, not Dr. Bridges.”
Jean was surprised when he heard that. He stared at Neera, amazed that she was not
only beautiful but also a skilled doctor.
“Thank you for saving my life. You can let lan know your charges, and he’ll transfer the
money to you,” he said out of courtesy.
Neera smirked nonchalantly. “Nah, I don’t need your money. If my children hadn’t
begged me to interfere, I wouldn’t even have bothered. Now that you’re okay, it’s time
for us to leave.”
She turned around and spoke to her children, “He’s okay now. Shall we go?”
The triplets nodded and said, “Mommy, you’re the best!”
Sammy added, “That must be hard work, Mommy. You’re an angel.”
Penny smiled sweetly at Jean on the bed. “I told you that my mommy is amazing. Do
you believe me now?”
Jean’s cold gaze became gentle.

The three children helped me again!
He could not resist smiling. He patted Penny’s head and said, “Thank you.”
Penny waved her hand and said, “Don’t mention it. You need to take care of your health.
If it worsens, you won’t get someone as skillful as Mommy to save you!”
Sammy added, “You should find a better doctor, Mr. Handsome. It seems like doctors of
medicine aren’t cut out for it.”
Joanna’s face turned pale with anger. She could tell that Sammy was talking about her.
Jean replied, “Mm. I’ll think about it.”
Penny and Samme nodded in satisfaction. They waved goodbye to Jean and left with
their mother.
