The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1360
Neera knew it would be difficult and had only come to seek Isabella out there to try her luck.
As such, she wasn't overly disappointed upon hearing that. Nonetheless, her heart inevitably grew even heavier.
At that precise moment, Isabella gave her a suggestion.
“Neera, why don't you ask the World Medical Alliance if they have a reliable source of heart?”
Neera had considered that idea, but it just didn't seem all that practical.
“The World Medical Alliance never engages in any organ trade, nor has they ever broken this principle. Even if I were to go there, I'm afraid it might just be a wasted trip.”
Naturally, Isabella knew that. “Oh, that wasn't what I meant. There are many big shots in the World Medical Alliance. I reckon perhaps someone can lend you a hand. You're at loose ends right now anyway. Why don't you give it a try? If you succeed in pulling some strings, you won't have to worry about a waiting period.”
Admittedly, Neera hadn't thought of that.
After a brief moment of contemplation, she found it feasible and gave Isabella a hug.
“You always have the best ideas. Thanks.”
Isabella laughed heartily, “But of course. My mind is as sharp as ever. All right, all right, stop clinging to me. Go and get busy with your stuff. Once Mr. Frederic recovers, we'll get together for a good chat over a meal. Without you here, I don't even feel like going shopping.”
Neera smiled gently. “Sure. Once everything is resolved, I'll free up a few days to spend time with you.”
“I'm just afraid that when the time comes, Mr. Beauvort might not be pleased,” Isabella joked.
“Never. I'll just leaving him hanging.”
“All right, remember you said this. When Mr. Beauvort comes looking for trouble with me, you'll have to back me up...”
The two of them chatted casually, after which Neera left in a hurry.
After leaving the hospital, she got into her car. She contemplated for a while before making an overseas call.
About ten seconds later, the call was answered. An aged yet resounding voice drifted out of the other end of the phone.
“Hmph! You still remember me, brat!”
Chuckling softly, Neera patiently appeased him, saying, “How could I possibly forget you, Mr. Grey? How have you been lately? Still as robust as ever?”
Eugene didn't beat around the bush but exposed her right away.
“Cut the act. You're never this attentive unless you're up to no good or after something. So, what's the deal? Have you run into some trouble now that you've remembered me?”
Neera stuck out her tongue and muttered under her breath, “You're really not leaving me with any pride here. At the very least, let me exchange a few pleasantries with you. Otherwise, how am I supposed to feel comfortable asking you for a favor?”
“Hmph!” The two tufts of mustaches above Eugene's lips curled up.
“You still have moments when you feel embarrassed? You owe the alliance so many points, but you don't seem to feel ashamed at all. Instead, you're still trying to find loopholes!”
He really holds a grudge, hung up on the matter of points.
Neera pursed her lips. Recalling that she needed his help, she had no choice but to mollify and cater to his whims.
“Oh well, you're always lecturing me, Mr. Grey. I really have no choice. When I get back later, I'll make up for the points. I promise!”
“Make up for them? You've got to be kidding me. I'd be grateful if you didn't owe me more. So, what's the matter?”
“Well, I'm going to say it, then.” Neera cleared her throat and said with a smile, “There's something in which I'd like to ask for your help...”
After hearing about the entire situation, Eugene seemed to understand it all.
“I knew it. You wouldn't have thought of me if you hadn't run into such a tricky situation.”
Neera pleaded patiently, “Oh well, you are a big-hearted person, Mr. Grey. This is a matter of life and death, so please lend me a hand.”
On the other end of the phone, Eugene deliberately countered, “What can I do for you? You're well aware that the World Medical Alliance prohibits any organ or tissue trading. We neither accept donations nor give them away.”
The reason for the World Medical Alliance to have such a rule was to avoid any situation that could potentially put the alliance in the line of fire.
After all, the organ trade had a dark side to it. It was hard to ensure that no one would make a fuss about the matter.
The World Medical Alliance's pursuit of transparency in their actions was indeed beyond reproach.
Neera let out a sigh, her voice suddenly filled with a sense of despair.
“Actually, the reason I'm seeking your help is just to see if you could possibly connect me with someone relevant within the alliance. If there is such a person, just help me get in touch with him. I'll personally go and meet him. It won't take much of your time. This is a matter of life and death, Mr. Grey. I beg you. Please help me.”
Eugene was usually quite hard-hearted toward outsiders, but he not only greatly admired her but was quite fond of her. Thus, his heart inevitably softened.
As he listened to her pleading pitifully, the corners of his mouth twitched. Ultimately, he couldn't bring himself to sit back and do nothing.
“All right, all right, quit playing the sympathy card. You can't even handle such a small matter yourself, and I have to step in to help you. You're really not living up to your reputation as Dr. Nancy, the miracle doctor.”
The instant Neera heard that, her eyes lit up, and she quickly started to flatter him.
“I came to you because I knew you have the means and connections, so it's the quickest and most convenient way. With your great capabilities and kind heart, I knew you wouldn't just stand by and do nothing!”
Charmed by her, Eugene was in high spirits and wore a smug expression on his face.
“Cut the act, Neera. Don't think I'm unaware of your little tricks. You sure know how to pull the wool over my eyes. I can help you with this, but how do you plan on repaying me? Don't forget that you still owe me a million points!”
Neera instantly felt a headache coming on.
I just knew that he wouldn't agree so easily.
She sighed inwardly, resigned to her fate. “Well, what would you like from me?”
Eugene couldn't help but laugh. “Remember you said this. Hmm... I haven't thought of anything at the moment. Just leave it first. I'll let you know when I've decided.”
Neera propped a hand against her forehead, a sense of foreboding lingering within her.
But fortunately, things were starting to look up.
After she had hung up the phone, Eugene sent a message about less than an hour later.
It read: You're in Kingsview now, yes?
Neera replied: Yes.
He continued: There's a medical family in Kingsview, the Meyer family. They run a hospital and accept donated organs. You should go and meet them.
As such, she wasn't overly disappointed upon hearing that. Nonetheless, her heart inevitably grew even heavier.
At that precise moment, Isabella gave her a suggestion.
“Neera, why don't you ask the World Medical Alliance if they have a reliable source of heart?”
