The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1453

At that moment, Adriana also walked in, earnestly advising him, “Jean, I know you’re deeply concerned about Neera, and so are we. But before she wakes up, we also need to take care of ourselves. It wouldn’t be good if we finally see Neera awake, only to collapse ourselves, right? She has painstakingly nurtured you back to health, pouring so much effort into curing you. You know better than anyone how much she cares for and worries about your health. If you don’t cherish yourself, she won’t be pleased. Even if she wakes up and sees you in this state, she will only worry, and might even get angry. Do you really want her to wake up and be upset because of you?”

The words had an effect. Jean finally responded softly, “I understand.” He then stood up from beside Neera’s bed.

However, before he left the ward, he lifted his gaze to see a figure at the entrance of the room.

In that instant, he shot a cold and piercing look at that person.

“What are you here for?” His thin lips parted slightly as he asked in a hostile tone.

Avery glanced at him, then at the person on the bed before shifting his gaze to Chad and Adriana. He gave a slight nod.

“Mr. Gordon, Mrs. Gordon.”

After greeting them, he turned his gaze back to Jean, his voice deep as he said, “I heard Neera had an accident, so I came to see her.”

Upon hearing this, Jean sneered, “There’s no need. You should know better than anyone why things have gone wrong. You’re not welcome here. Get lost.”

This was the first time he had spoken so rudely to Avery.

Even Chad and Adriana were taken aback. They looked at each other and simultaneously let out a sigh.

“Jean, Avery just wants to show his concern. At the end of the day, you can’t really blame him for this. You should talk things out calmly instead of making things awkward.”

Chad then continued, “We’ll go out first. After you finish chatting, don’t forget to eat. Then we’ll come to relieve you, and you can take a break.”
