The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1364

Upon hearing that, Leopold furrowed his brows, revealing his disbelief. “Impossible. Ms. Garcia is not that kind of person. Are you throwing another tantrum? I've told you countless times to restrain yourself, but you just won't listen—”

Nicole was instantly furious. “You're annoying, you know that? Are you my brother or her brother? I'm your real sister. I've been wronged, and it's fine if you don't help me, but you're actually reprimanding me for that woman? Do you have any conscience left?”

Leopold looked at her disapprovingly. “Nicole, stop messing around.”

“Fine! Whatever! You always favor an outsider!” With gritted teeth and a scowl, Nicole turned abruptly and ascended the stairs, heading straight for George's study.

Without hesitation, she pushed the door open and entered.

Inside, George had just finished a phone call.

Seeing her come in, George was displeased. He scolded, “You should knock before entering. How old are you now? Do I still need to remind you of such basic manners?”

Nicole didn't pay any attention. She hastily asked him, “Grandpa, did Neera visit our house? What did she come for?”

George didn't want her to ask that, and he glanced at her. “Why are you asking so many questions? Are you close with her?”

“Grandpa, what on earth is she here for?” Nicole asked insistently.

George didn't overthink it. He took another couple of glances at her and told her.

“A patient urgently needs a heart transplant. She wants a heart, so she asked Mr. Grey for help and came here to find me.” At that point, he let out a sigh, his tone filled with admiration. “Despite her young age, she is already hailed as a miracle doctor. Her exceptional medical skills are unmatched, and she gained significant recognition from the World Medical Alliance. You should learn from her, instead of gallivanting around all day. Only when your mind is at peace can you focus on your academics...”

Listening to him singing the same tune, Nicole felt extremely annoyed.

Also, the fact that George compared her to Neera made her seethe with anger.

However, at that very moment, Nicole didn't lose her temper. Instead, she focused all her attention on Neera's request.

“She wants a heart?” A glint of sharpness flashed in her eyes, a thought instantly rising within her mind. “Grandpa, why did you agree to her request? These are all her side of the story. Who knows what she wants to do with the heart? She may have some unspeakable motives. We can't give her the heart.”

Upon hearing that, George furrowed his brows. “Why can't it be given to her? What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I'm not talking nonsense! Grandpa, how many times have you met her? How could you possibly know what kind of person she is?”

“Do you understand then?” George asked, his eyebrows furrowed in question.

Nicole gritted her teeth, her expression unfriendly.

“Of course I know her. I met her when I was at the World Medical Alliance. It's because of her that I lost a lot of points and my rank was demoted to the lowest one! She's clearly a bully who throws her weight around!”

George didn't recall such an incident. He frowned in thought for a moment, but he didn't believe things were as she had described.

He knew his granddaughter's temperament better than anyone else.

At that moment, he looked at her with a meaningful gaze, his face full of doubt. “You were deducted points for some other reason, weren't you? Why else would the World Medical Alliance arbitrarily deduct your points and demote you? Nicole, you need to control your temper. Nancy is a good girl, you should learn more from her. I don't want to hear such gossip in the future, so don't say such things again.”

Seeing that her grandfather didn't take her side or believe her at all, Nicole widened her eyes in disbelief, her anger clearly showing.

Scowling, she bit her lip corner hard, but in the end, she said nothing. With a huff, she turned and stormed off.

Meanwhile, on the way back to the hospital, Zephyr was somewhat worried. “Ms. Garcia, you just had a conflict with that woman. Will it affect our search for the heart?”

Neera was actually quite relieved about that. “No, I don't think Mr. Meyer is a narrow-minded person.”

“They are family, though. What if that woman stirs up trouble?”

Neera gazed at the fleeting street scenes outside the window, her expression serene and untroubled. “Whether she stirs things up or not doesn't really matter. What's crucial is whether Mr. Meyer will believe her. I trust that he's not the type to be swayed by one-sided stories. He will make his own judgment about what others say. As for the matter of the heart, even if he harbors some resentment, considering that I once saved him, he wouldn't refuse to help.”

Seeing her so confident, Zephyr didn't say anything more.

When she returned to the hospital, Jean hadn't come back yet.

Outside the intensive care unit, Wrenn was still sitting there, her face pale and haggard.

The triplets were also sitting off to the side, their short legs dangling off the edge of the bench, unable to touch the ground. They would swing their legs back and forth from time to time.

They seemed to be in distress, their little faces filled with confusion and annoyance, also brimming with deep concern.

They could all sense Wrenn's sadness, yet none of them knew how to comfort her.

The triplets were all silent, completely devoid of their previous lively demeanor.
