Chapter 143 The Final Night
Finished
All of a sudden, with multiple sets of eyes falling on her, Jean felt a chill run down her spine.
She stood up from the chair, pretending to be calm, though her mind was buzzing… How did the doctor even know I was the one who treated Dominic….
Bryson, the pilot, and the crew who were aware of what happened weren’t even here. So who told him?
Honestly, this wasn’t something she ever wanted publicized…
Carl, catching the subtle changes in Jean’s expression, picked up on the doubt flickering in her heart. His sharp gaze wavered slightly, betraying a hint of intrigue.
Almost as if he had read her mind, the doctor added, “Mr. Dominic was unconscious most of the time, but there were brief moments when he came to. I told him his leg had already been treated before we got to him, and that it was what prevented irreversible damage. He mumbled that it was his sister who did it. I was just as shocked when I heard that.”
Jean let out an awkward little chuckle.
Sienna turned to her, eyes wide with wonder and relief. “Jean, you really helped treat Dominic’s leg? But… how? How did you know what to do?”
Carl didn’t say a word, but his eyes never left her.
Jean scratched her head, a bit sheepishly, and replied with humility, “I kind of just… taught myself a little on the side. It’s really nothing special, just some basics I picked up. I guess I got lucky and it worked out. I’m just glad I was able to help save Dominic. That’s all that matters.”
Her tone was so sincere that Sienna didn’t question it for a second. With a warm smile tugging at her lips, she placed a hand on Jean’s shoulder, pride glowing in her eyes. “That’s wonderful. I’m proud of you, Jean.”
So the girl everyone called distant, strange, or antisocial… was quietly growing stronger, quietly learning all this while no one was watching-
In that moment, Sienna’s heart filled with pride, and a deep, aching tenderness.
Carl, meanwhile, silently retracted his gaze, one brow lifting just slightly. To be honest, he didn’t buy it. Just the basics? A lucky guess?
He’d caught a glimpse of Dominic’s injury before the surgery. It wasn’t something anyone with just “a little knowledge” could’ve handled. The damage was severe and complicated.
Also, Jean had not only found Dominic in that vast, remote wilderness, but treated him quickly and correctly enough to save a crushed leg. For a teenage girl to pull that off? Unbelievable.
Carl narrowed his eyes, a storm quietly gathering in their depths. Looks like this little sister of mine is

With both Ludwig and Dominic out of danger, Carl didn’t plan on staying in Northara any longer. He arranged for a more comfortable private jet to take them all home immediately.
Which meant, Jean’s time in Northara was finally coming to an end.
Tonight would be her last night here. She sat alone in the suite of her hotel room, unable to sleep.
That was when a knock sounded at her door.
Jean frowned, then slowly walked over to the door. Who could it be at this hour?
She glanced at the monitor beside the door, and her brows shot up when she saw who it was.
Carl. Seriously? Him?
After a moment’s hesitation, she reluctantly opened the door. Her expression was flat, annoyed even, and her tone wasn’t any better. “What do you want?”
He had ignored her for so long, acted like she barely existed, and now he was showing up out of nowhere at her door?
