Chapter 23
Neera and Jean’s hands were touching intimately!
Jean was surprised, though he did not think of immediately letting go. Instead, he
glared at Neera and said, “How can you take it back after you’ve given it to me? As a
doctor, are you always so impatient toward your patients?”
Neera was equally surprised. It took her a few seconds to come to her senses, and she
hastily pulled her hand back.
She seemed awkward. The part on her hand where Jean had touched her felt tingly as
though she had received a jolt of electricity.
She gritted her teeth and said, “You’re not a child! Don’t tell me you want me to coax
you to take your medicine. My children haven’t been afraid of taking medicine since
they were three years old!”
Jean was at a loss for a retort. He seemed displeased.
Does she mean that I’m more cowardly than a three–year–old child?
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming tense, lan coughed deliberately and said,
“Sire, you should drink the soup while it’s hot. It might smell even stronger after it cools
down.”

The triplets also encouraged him. “That’s right. You should drink the soup now so you’ll
recover quickly.”
Harvey even handed him a soup spoon.
Jean’s expression softened a little. He grunted softly and began to drink the soup.
Occasionally, he stole glances at his fingertips.
He could clearly remember the softness and the warmth of the woman’s hand…

Soon, the six people finished all the food on the table.
lan’s stomach was bloated. Neera was a wonderful chef, and he had nearly swallowed
his tongue while eating.
What surprised him the most was that Jean’s appetite had improved!
“Does the soup… improve one’s appetite?” lan asked, surprised.
Whenever Jean was ill, he would either have no appetite, or he would throw up
everything he ate. His body would be extremely weak.
Today, not only had he cleared his plate, but he also went back for seconds.

Jean was equally surprised.
He had expected not to eat so much, but after drinking the soup, he could feel his
appetite returning.
When he realized what happened, his plate was already empty, and he was already full.
Jean could not help but steal
a glance at Neera.
That woman… is more skilled than I imagined!
lan seemed to also have noticed that. He stood up excitedly and said, “Doctor… No,
you’re a miracle doctor! I’ll leave my Sire in your hands! Please do your best to treat his
illness!”
Neera did not express any emotion on her face. She said, “Don’t call me a miracle
doctor. My name is Neera Garcia! You don’t have to be so formal. I’m only treating his
illness because I have a debt to pay. Moreover, even though his condition would
improve after ten sessions, he would not be completely cured. It’s impossible to do so
in such a short amount of time!”
Jean and lan were not too disappointed when they heard that.
An improvement was already more than they could hope for!
All they had to do was make sure Jean’s condition did not deteriorate before they found

“In any case, I’ll be leaving my Sire’s care in your hands,” lan said sincerely.

Neera shot a glance at him, then at Jean. She nodded and said, “I’ll do my best, but I
need to clarify one thing…”
Her expression suddenly turned serious, and her tone was authoritative. “While
undergoing my treatment, I don’t wish for anyone to question or criticize me… Also,
during the process, I will control your diet and schedule strictly. If you decide not to
follow my instructions, I’ll take it that you’ve given up on treatment, and I won’t be Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
responsible for anything after that!”
“Are you that strict?” lan gulped when he heard that.
It was then that he realized that the woman could be as imposing as Jean when she
was serious!
Jean was also impressed by Neera’s display of authority, though he soon regained his
composure. “I’ll listen to what you say, but you’ll have to show that you’re worthy of my
respect.”
“We’ll see about that,” Neera said and lifted her chin.
Thus, the matter was decided.
Jean and lan did not stay for too long after dinner. Before they left, Neera said, “Later,show me your medical records.”
lan promised he would send that over soon.
