Borel summable divergent series usually appear when studying solutions of analytic ODE near a multiple singular point. Their sum, uniquely defined in certain sectors of the complex plane, is obtained via the Borel--Laplace transformation. This article shows how to generalize the Borel--Laplace transformation in order to investigate bounded solutions of parameter dependent non-linear differential systems with two simple (regular) singular points unfolding a double (irregular) singularity. We construct parametric solutions on domains attached to both singularities, that converge locally uniformly to the sectoral Borel sums. Our approach provides a unified treatment for all values of the complex parameter.
