The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean)

Chapter 4



The triplets were shocked to hear that.

Daddy has a fiancée! What about Mommy then?

Penny pursued the topic. "Is your fiancée pretty? Is she prettier than me? Do I stand a chance?"

lan chuckled at the little girl's questions. He said, "My dear, even if my employer isn't engaged to anyone, you still wouldn't stand a chance because the age difference is too big!"

"It's not big at all..." Penny said.

Mommy is at most three years younger than him. The age difference isn't that big!

Jean was amused. "You're not very picky, are you?"

Penny said, "I'm pretty picky. I don't like any man other than you!"

Not only are you handsome, but you might also be my birth father! Nobody else can claim that!

Harvey and Sammy nodded and said in agreement, "Yup, we're okay with that, if it's you we're talking about."

Jean had no retort to that.

What's the problem with these children?

lan tried his best not to laugh.

It was the first time in Jean's employment that he saw him rendered speechless.

Luckily for Jean, the waiter served food to the children at that moment.

The exquisitely prepared food instantly attracted the attention of the triplets.

Jean quickly shifted the conversation topic. "Your food is here."

The children picked up their cutlery and began to eat. They were not lying when they said they were hungry.

Food is more important! In any case, this man isn't going to run away!

Jean watched the three children eat and thought they were adorable. His cold expression warmed up a little, and he seemed to have the appetite to eat more.

About ten minutes later, he put his knife and fork down. His face turned pale, and he began to furrow his brows.

The observant Harvey noticed the change in Jean's expression. "What's wrong, sir? Your complexion is pale. Are you feeling unwell?"

Sammy and Penny turned their heads to Jean. They saw that his forehead was covered in sweat. "Are you okay, sir?"

"Are you okay, sir? Should I bring you to the hospital?" lan said while taking his phone.

Jean stopped him. "I'm fine. I guess my stomach is cramping because I ate lunch late..."

Even though he said that, he did not look like he was fine at all.

Penny shifted next to Jean and said, "Let me take a look, sir."

She grabbed Jean's arm and placed three fingers on his wrist.

Is she... taking my pulse? Jean was surprised. For some time, he was at a loss for a reaction.

After taking Jean's pulse, Penny rummaged through her sling bag and took a small box.

She took a silver needle from the box and said to Jean, "The needle is already sterilized. It might sting a little when I insert it, so you'll have to bear with it. Don't worry, it won't take long."

Before the adults could react, Penny plunged the needle into a certain point on Jean's arm.

lan was stunned for a few seconds. When he came to his senses, he blurted, "Oh my god! What did you just do? This isn't the time for you to pretend to be a doctor!"

He thought that Penny was an undisciplined brat, and she had poked Jean with a needle without thinking of the consequences.

Sire's constitution is weak! He probably can't stand the pain! Who's going to be responsible if something happens to him?

I don't mind the children being naughty, but they shouldn't hurt anyone!

He reached out and wanted to remove the needle from Jean's arm.

However, a child's hand stopped him.

That was Harvey.

Harvey said sternly, "Don't touch the needle! My sister is a medical apprentice to my mother. She knows what she's doing!"
