Jean shot a glance at Neera and said to Harvey, âSure, but⦠are you sure your motherâs skills are worth five million dollars?â
Is he doubting my abilities? Neera thought.
âIf my skills arenât worth that much, youâd still be lying on a bed unconscious, and your precious medical team will still be cracking their heads thinking of how to save you!â
âYou sound pretty confident,â Jean said with a smirk.
He had to admit that she was very skilled, though he did not know the limit of her skills, which was why he had his doubts.
Neera thought he did not believe her. She frowned and said, âTen sessions! All I need is ten sessions. Itâll save your medical team one yearâs worth of effort!â
Jean narrowed his gaze at her.
The woman in front of her exuded total confidence. She did not look like she was boasting.
âAre you sure, Doctor? Can you be that confident about treating Sire?â Even lan did not believe it.

Chapter 21 Worried for Daddy and Mommy He considered that Joannaâs team had shown no progress, and Dr. Nancy had canceled their appointment.
If the woman in front of them had a way to cure his employerâs illness, he would not want to miss the chance!
He would spare no expense in ing Jeanâs lifespan!
Neera said, âOf course, everything is moot at this point. You can see the results after ten sessions and judge if Iâm boasting. Of course, if you donât believe me, you can go back to that medical team of yours! Iâll find some other way to pay the five million dollars!â
The triplets were not going to allow that to happen. They tried to convince Jean, âMr.
Handsome, five million dollars is a total bargain! Other people donât even get the chance to meet Mommy!â
âThatâs right. Mommyâs skills arenât restricted to consultation and diagnosis. The medicine she develops is priceless! The only reason you recovered so quickly is because you took one of her pills!â
Jean did not know about that. âMedicine?â he blurted.
lan recalled the incident at the hotel earlier that morning. âThat pill? Wasnât it just aspirin?â

Chapter 21 Worried for Daddy and Mommy âOf course not!â Penny said. âMommy invented the medicine, and itâs very expensiveâ¦â
âThatâs enough, Penny. Letâs not bother him with the details,â Neera stopped her daughter from talking any further.
Why did they tell him everything? I donât want to be exposed!
The triplets shut up after realizing that they had divulged too much information. They were still worried that their Daddy might not agree.
Luckily for them, Jean gave his answer after a few seconds of deliberation. âIf the I children are so confident in you, then shall believe you for now! Instead of paying me five million dollars, Iâll accept your ten consultation sessions!â
The triplets breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that.
He⦠finally agreed! Why do they have to make us worry about them?
Harvey struck while the iron was hot. âTo celebrate this occasion, Iâd like to invite you over to our house for dinner tonight.â
Neera did not expect that. She was walking away, but she nearly stumbled when she heard that.
âI⦠donât think dinner is necessary.â
11:17 Sun, 6 Aug Chapter 21 Worried for Daddy and Mommy Iâm already treating his illness! Why do I have to treat him to dinner?
3 However, the triplets were extraordinarily insistent. âDidnât we agree on inviting our neighbors for dinner? It shouldnât matter that we already know Mr. Handsome, right?â
Neera said sheepishly, âI⦠I donât think it matters, but you should ask him if heâs free this evening, right?â
I hope heâs not free!
Jean was free, but he did not have any appetite to eat after the fever.
He said tactfully, âMaybe next time.â
âYou have to come!â Penny grabbed his hand. âYouâve just recovered from a fever, and you need to eat more! My mommy knows how to cook nutritious meals. She should be able to do something about your appetite. What do you think?â
Jean began to hesitate.
Harvey asked, âAre you unwilling to come over because youâre still blaming Mommy for the broken vase?â
Jean had no reason to decline any more.
âItâs not like that⦠Well, if youâre so insistent, Iâll drop by for dinner then.â

Chapter 21 Worried for Daddy and Mommy âYay!â Penny and Sammy cheered.
Neera was speechless.
Isnât anyone going to ask for my opinion?
