Neera breathed a sigh of relief. Her children did not argue with her.  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Well then, we’ll pack up and check out soon. Grand–Aunt Adriana has found a new 

house for us, and we’ll move there today.” 

“Yes, Mommy.” The triplets replied and went to pack their suitcases. 

They were done an hour later. Neera brought them and left the suite. 

As soon as they stepped out of the door, they saw lan coming out from the suite next 

door. 

The triplets waved at him. “Good morning, Mr. Assistant. We meet again!” 

lan stopped and turned around. “It’s you three! Good morning!” he said hastily. 

Harvey noticed that lan seemed distraught. He asked, “Mr. Assistant, are you rushing 

somewhere? Did something happen?” 

lan was surprised by the question. He shook his head and said, “N… No! I need to go 

now. Bye!” 

He turned around again and prepared to leave.

Harvey’s usually shrill voice turned deep. “Did something happen to Mr. Handsome? He 

looked sickly yesterday. Did his condition become worse?” 

Sammy and Penny were worried too. “I hope Mr. Handsome is alright! Is it very serious? 

Do you need a doctor?” 

lan stopped in his tracks again. 

He was not supposed to tell outsiders about his employer’s whereabouts and condition, 

but when he saw how worried the three children were, he hesitated and decided to tell 

them the truth. “He has a fever. The doctors are on their way here. I’m going to meet 

them downstairs.” 

Neera silently observed the entire conversation. She could roughly guess who “Mr. 

Handsome” was. 

She did not want to interfere. After all, they had an awkward exchange at the baths last 

night. 

Also, a fever did not sound too serious. 

However, her children threw her under the bus. “Mr. Assistant, why don’t you let our 

mommy take a look at him? She’s a doctor too!” 

“Yes! Our mommy is an amazing doctor.” 

“Mommy, why don’t you help Mr. Handsome? We can’t bear to see his life in danger!” 

Penny said while holding Neera’s hand. 

Neera was speechless. She could never resist her children’s requests, and at that 

moment, she did not know how to say no to them. 

She turned her head to look at lan. 

lan hesitated. He knew his employer’s condition was very peculiar, and a regular fever 

would put his life at risk. 

Usually, he had a dedicated team of doctors to attend to him. lan was worried to ask for 

help from a doctor without any previous experience treating Jean. 

However, he considered that the little girl managed to treat Jean’s stomach problems at 

lunchtime yesterday, and that Jean’s condition was truly dire. He could only agree to it. 

“Thank you so much, Doctor. You don’t have to force yourself if it’s too difficult.” 

Neera nodded and followed lan to the suite next door. 

Jean was lying on the bed with his eyes tightly shut. His face was an unnatural shade 

of red, and he looked very weak. 

The triplets were very worried for him. They grabbed Neera’s hands and dragged her to the bed. “Come here quick, Mommy.” 

Neera glanced at the man. He doesn’t look as cold when he’s asleep. He’s quite 

handsome indeed! 

She quickly sat down next to him on the bed and took his pulse. 

In a few seconds, she frowned hard. 

The man’s pulse was weak and irregular, as though his heart might stop beating at any 

time. It did not look like a regular fever at all! 

To confirm her initial guess, Neera took his pulse again and flipped over his eyelids. 

Her expression turned grim. 

His condition… is as bad as it can get! His body has deteriorated after prolonged 

illnesses, and a fever can easily take his life! 

Neera pulled her hands away and said annoyedly, “If he’s in this condition, why aren’t 

you rushing him to the hospital? Are you waiting for him to die?” 

lan was shocked to hear that. “What do you mean? My employer is…” 

The triplets were shocked too. “Mommy, is it very serious!” 

“Of course! His constitution is already weak, and it’s probably caused by some 

persisting condition or poison. He can barely manage if he’s not ill, but any fever or cold 

can claim his life…” Neera briefly explained Jean’s condition. 

lan’s heart sank when he heard that. He could not remain calm at all. “What should we 

do? Should I bring him to the hospital? My employer has been very careful, and it’s been 

a long time since he had a fever… Is his life in danger?” 

“It’s too late to bring him to the hospital. I have to administer treatment here!” Neera 

said. She ordered lan, “Take off his shirt. Now.” 

She rummaged through her suitcase and retrieved an expensive–looking medical kit 

with a vast array of medical tools and medicines inside. 

Neera took something like a leather scroll from the medical kit and unfurled it, revealing 

hundreds of silver needles. 

lan was surprised to see that. “Doctor, what are you…” 

She’s going to treat him, right? With those needles? 

“I’m saving his life!” Neera said. “If I give him any pills, he won’t be able to swallow with 

his current condition. I don’t have the proper medicine, so I can’t give him an injection. 

This is the only way. Faster remove his clothes!” 

lan was secretly afraid. Can she really do it? I haven’t heard of anyone treating a fever 

with acupuncture! 

The medical team had not arrived, so he had to place his trust in her. 

He quickly removed Jean’s shirt, exposing his sculpted and muscular body. 

Neera could not help but gawk at it. She guessed that he managed to maintain his 

fitness because he worked out regularly in addition to the dedicated medical team. 

Otherwise, he should have been a bag of skin and bones. 

Neera cleared her thoughts and quickly administered the needles at specific points on 

his body. 

She was moving so fast, lan was scared because he thought she was placing needles 

at random. 

To someone else in her field, they would know that Neera was inserting needles into 

the most sensitive spots of the human body. Any slight mistake would result in deadly 

consequences. 

Also, Neera was not only treating the fever. She had to stabilize Jean’s condition and 

make sure he did not die. 

The fever could wait until he was awake!
