Chapter 314 A Reality Check

Neera’s voice came through the phone, urgency was evident as she stated, “It’s work–related. I don’t have time to go into details right now. I’m pressed for time.”

Neera explained that at Isabella’s Hospital, an elderly man who had recently undergone heart surgery had suddenly taken a turn for the worse. Although he was currently being treated, his life hung in the balance.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, Jean did not press for more information.

“I understand. Go attend to what you need to do. Don’t worry about anything here.”

Neera expressed her gratitude, hurriedly thanked him, and ended the call.

Back in the dining area, Jean reentered the room and addressed his parents, “Mom, Dad, you guys can continue eating without me. I need to head back.”

Wrenn’s movements stopped as she asked in a concerned tone, “What’s wrong? Why the sudden rush? You’re leaving before finishing your meal?”

Jean nodded calmly, “Something urgent has come up that requires my attention. I’ll return to Neera. I’ll bring her to visit in a few days. Please take care of yourselves and make sure to take your medicine on time. Get well soon.”

His parents did not insist on keeping him once they saw the seriousness of the situation, and they let him go without further protest.
