Chapter 1354

On their way back, the triplets’ previous excitement had completely vanished.

Three pairs of large eyes kept glancing at Jean from time to time, filled with deep concern, as if they wanted to ask something but were unsure if they should.

Jean didn’t touch a bite of the lunch served on the plane. In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and he still hadn’t eaten anything.

Neera was heartbroken. She urged him, “Even if you don’t have an appetite, try to eat a little. Otherwise, you’ll collapse before the plane even lands.”

The triplets couldn’t contain their worries either. They huddled over, speaking softly and comfortingly.

“Daddy, please eat something. If you get too hungry, it will break our hearts.”

“Yes, Daddy. If you’re not eating, Mommy doesn’t eat much either. If you guys don’t eat properly, we won’t feel like eating either.”

Harvey was very sensible. He took the initiative to pick up the plate, intending to feed Jean. “Daddy, you must eat well. Only then will Grandma and Grandpa not worry. Grandpa is so robust that he won’t have any problems. Maybe if he sees you getting thin from not eating, he might even scold you. You can’t let him get angry.”

Jean indeed didn’t have much of an appetite. The thought of the doctor advising his mother to prepare for the worst made him feel restless and uneasy.

Seeing his wife and children so worried about him, he pursed his lips helplessly, tugged at the corner of his mouth, picked up the dinner plate, and reluctantly started eating.

Only then did the triplets breathe a sigh of relief.

Neera had them return to their seats. After finishing the meal with Jean, she asked about the specifics.

“What did they say on the phone? How could your dad’s heart suddenly have problems?” she asked.

Jean shook his head. “My mom was too upset to explain things clearly. She just said that he suddenly fainted while at work. The hospital said it was a heart issue and also mentioned…”

“What is it?”

Jean closed his eyes briefly, letting out a deep sigh. “They told her to prepare for the worst,” he said.

Doctors couldn’t make such a statement recklessly as it held significant meaning.

After hearing everything, Neera realized the situation was extremely serious.

She was afraid that there might be a serious, irreversible problem with the heart.

A flicker of worry passed through her eyes, but she didn’t let it show, fearing it would only make Jean more anxious. All she could do was soothe him by saying, “Sometimes doctors tend to paint a grimmer picture than necessary, just as a precaution. It doesn’t necessarily mean that things will turn out that way. Once we get there, I’ll thoroughly assess the situation and figure out how to treat your dad.”

Jean nodded. “Okay.”

Halfway through, due to a route issue, they had to change planes once. After two days of travel, they finally landed.

Standing once again on the soil of Kingsview, breathing in the air of Kingsview, Neera had not the slightest bit of nostalgia.

Previously, due to the turmoil in Phison and a life filled with conflict, she longed for peaceful days in Kingsview and planned to return as soon as possible.

Surprisingly, the reason for returning completely differed from what she had anticipated.

Upon leaving the airport, they hurriedly made their way to the hospital.

There, Neera ran into Wrenn.

After such a long time apart, upon their reunion, Neera noticed that Wrenn had changed a lot.

The previous arrogance was nowhere to be found, and the sharpness and harshness that used to linger in her eyes and brows were also gone.

At that moment, she was just a woman with a worn-out face, worried about her sick husband.

Wrenn had also become much gentler than before, naturally exuding a great deal of warmth and humanity.

When she saw Neera, she was clearly taken aback, as if she hadn’t expected her to return alongside Jean. For a moment, she seemed somewhat at a loss, her hands clasped together, appearing somewhat restrained.

This was a side of Wrenn that Neera had never seen before. Neera pursed her lips, her feelings somewhat complicated.

In fact, even though Neera had introduced the children to their grandparents, deep down, she still couldn’t forgive Wrenn, nor could she bring herself to like her.

The thought of Wrenn opposing Neera’s relationship and even believing in the lies of others just to go against Neera and Jean was truly astonishing.

If it was just a matter of believing in others’ instigations, that would be one thing. But to go as far as making a joke out of their own son’s well-being just to break them apart was simply outrageous.

Neera still seethed with anger, recalling how Thora had harmed Jean, causing his health to deteriorate significantly.

However, considering Wrenn’s mood at the moment, Neera didn’t want to show any displeasure. Neera simply nodded lightly as a form of greeting.

However, Wrenn was quite surprised. She paused for a moment, then with reddened eyes, she said, “Neera, y-you’re back as well. Thank you. Thank you for coming to see us.”

Neera really wanted to remind Wrenn that she was there to see Frederic, and it had nothing to do with Wrenn.

However, when the words reached Neera’s lips, she swallowed them back down, saying nothing at all.

Jean saw it but didn’t say anything.

“Mom, how is Dad doing? What did the doctor say? What exactly is the situation with his heart?” Jean asked Wrenn.

When that was brought up, Wrenn’s eyes would become even redder, her swollen eyes appearing as if they had been soaked in water. “Your father is currently in the intensive care unit, and he’s still in critical condition. We’re not allowed to visit him. I can only wait outside. The doctor said he has heart failure, and surgery isn’t an option. Right now, they can only provide conservative treatment. If we want a significant improvement, he needs a heart transplant. Otherwise, h-he might not live more than six months.”

As she spoke, her voice began to choke up. The facade she had been desperately holding up collapsed, and tears fell.

Over the past few days, she had been so worried that she couldn’t eat or sleep. She had been keeping vigil there, and she had lost a considerable amount of weight.

The thought of her husband possibly leaving her forever in the near future shattered her heart. Tears streamed down her face, one after another, leaving trails that never seemed to fade.
