Chapter 720 Cost Of His Pain
When Kyra finally hung up, resentment crept across her face.
Thora! That despicable b*tch! How dare she trick me and nearly ruin her plans!
Exasperated, she called Thora to settle the score, but Thora had turned off her phone and couldn’t
be reached.
By the time Frederic and Wrenn returned to the research center, the daylight had fully broken.
The two were worried about their son.
Neera scowled and pulled a long face when she saw them.
Initially, she wanted to ignore them and walk away. In the end, she still halted and spoke coldly.
“We don’t have a resting area for visitors in the research center. Jean’s condition is prone to
recurrence. He won’t wake up in a short time. I don’t see the need for both of you to stay here.”
Frederic and Wrenn sensed her lingering anger and indifference. The two felt awkward for the first
time.
“We know,” they replied, their voices laden with bitterness. “Even though he’s unconscious, we just
want to stay with him. It doesn’t matter to us that there’s no lounging area here. Being with him is

all that matters.”
The rage that had been building up inside Neera erupted once more. It was scorching hot.
Abruptly, she felt the urge to reprimand them.
Why hadn’t you two shown him how much you cared earlier? What else have you two done besides
doubting and rejecting me? Do you finally see your mistakes when Jean suffers?
She had a slew of sharp questions ready to fire at them. She did, however, suppress them at the last
moment. Perhaps she was afraid of losing her cool and making a scene.
Ultimately, she made her way back to her office with an icy expression.
Osbert had witnessed everything from the side. Naturally, he understood the reason for her being
upset.
He brought her breakfast to console her.
“Neera, you’ve been working all night. You might have a little appetite, but you have to eat
something. How else will you have the strength to carry on without food? What would happen to Jean if you fell ill?”
He tried to persuade her and he had a point.
Though she was not in the mood, Neera still forced herself to take a few bites.
“You should take a nap,” Osbert persisted. “Me and Luigi would keep an eye on him. If anything happens, we’ll notify you right away.”
She was tired, and the only thing keeping her going was the last thread of her stubbornness.
Hesitated, but she decided to stop forcing herself and nod in agreement.
Before she entered the on-call room, she remembered Jean’s parents waiting in the hallway.
She frowned, stopped walking, and yelled, “Osbert.”
Osbert had almost made it to the door when he turned and asked, “Yes?”
She pursed her lips and reluctantly spoke up, “Can you take care of the Beauvorts? They’ve been up all night, and it might be hard for them to hang on. If they refuse to leave, get a room for them to rest. Bring them breakfast, too. It’s up to them whether they want to eat.”
With that being said, she went to get a nap.
Osbert was not surprised. He sighed a little. Neera was always sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.
Simultaneously, Joseph looked at his parents, unable to bring himself to tell them the truth.
