Chapter 1018 Always By Her Side

On the way back, when Adriana thought of Stacy, her eyes were still filled with tears, but she felt much more relaxed.

At the very least, she had received forgiveness from the Park family.

Seeing her silently shedding tears, Chad’s heart ached unbearably, and he pulled her into his embrace. “Don’t be sad and don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault. The Park family thinks the same, don’t they? You shouldn’t shoulder all the responsibilities. If Stacy is watching from above, she wouldn’t want to see you like this either.”

Adriana leaned her cheek against his chest, nodding slightly. “I know that…”

Neera didn’t know about that matter.

The past few days, the progress of Franklin’s antidote research had been extremely slow.

That inevitably made her anxious, especially since the development of one of the components had failed many times, and no solution could be found.

What was worse was that, during dinner, her colleagues noticed that Franklin’s breathing was noticeably weakening, and his pulse was so faint it was almost undetectable.

Upon receiving the news, Neera hurried over and found it to be true indeed.

Her expression was serious as she first administered acupuncture to Franklin, temporarily alleviating his condition.

Next, she gathered the entire team to accelerate the development process.

When it was ten o’clock, Jean came to pick her up, but she shook her head with a heavy expression. “You should go back first. I can’t leave tonight. Mr. Lopez’s condition is very bad today. His breathing is weak, and his pulse is faint and unstable. He could be in danger at any moment. Right now, I’m in a race against the disease. Every second counts, so I can’t afford any delay.”

Jean’s heart sank slightly when he heard that.

He never expected things to get that serious.

That was a matter of life and death. He naturally couldn’t ask her to stand by and refuse to help. Instead of forcibly bringing her back, he sighed helplessly and said, “All right, then. Make sure you rest properly. You can’t push yourself too hard.”

Neera nodded slightly. “Yes. Got it.”

After returning to the lab, she rallied her spirits, instructing her team to reassemble the data and comb through it from the beginning to see where exactly the error had occurred.

Everyone dared not slack off, so they quickly busied themselves again.

With all the hustle and bustle, it was suddenly three in the morning, and some people just couldn’t stay awake any longer.

Neera saw them looking tired, and she couldn’t bear it. “You guys should go and rest first.

Everyone was truly exhausted. Upon hearing that, they all left one after another.

Neera yawned, covering her mouth, feeling a faint throbbing in her temples.

She rubbed her eyes and also planned to take a short rest.

Unexpectedly, when she came out, she saw Jean in the corridor.

She paused for two seconds, then walked over in a state of both surprise and delight. “Didn’t you go back? Why are you here again?”

Jean rose from his chair. Having changed his clothes, it was clear that he had returned home and went back there again. “I was worried about you, afraid you might get hungry at night. After coaxing the triplets to sleep, I brought you some soup.”

Neera looked at the thermos next to him and felt touched. “Let’s go, then. I could use a break. Let’s head back to the office.”

Jean smiled. “All right.”

After downing a bowl of hot mushroom soup, Neera felt much better, and she felt as if she had returned to life.

Jean gently wiped her mouth for her, asking softly, “Would you like to take a nap?”

“No.” Neera shook her head. “The progress of the research and development is still not promising.”

After she finished speaking, she turned to him and advised, “You should go to sleep. It’s already very late.”

Even though she had taken care of his health during that one month in Essley, in reality, his condition was still far from good. Coupled with Thora’s ruthless move, it completely negated all her previous efforts

During this period, she had been very busy and tired. However, so was Jean.

In fact, he had always been there for her.

“Looking back, it’s been quite a while since your last episode. While that’s a good thing, it could also mean that you might have another episode soon. I’m worried about what I would do if I can’t take care of you when that happens. So, you need to rest well. You can’t afford to fall ill at this time. Once I’ve dealt with all the matters at hand, I’ll replace a way to develop a therapy plan for you. This will help you recover as soon as possible,” she said.

Looking into her worried eyes, Jean sighed, having no choice but to agree
