The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1366
Surprisingly, the heart transplant matter turned out to be much more positive than Neera had imagined.
The next day, George called, saying that a matching heart had been found.
Upon hearing that news, Neera was overjoyed. “Are you telling the truth? Are you sure?”
George chuckled. “Of course I'm sure. Otherwise, I wouldn't have contacted you so quickly.”
Neera lost her appetite for breakfast. She dropped her fork, turned around, and left the restaurant. “Can I go get it now?”
“I know you're anxious, so I've already prepared it for you. You don't need to come over. I'll have someone deliver it to you. Just tell me the address of the hospital.”
Neera repeatedly expressed her gratitude. “That's wonderful. I really can't thank you enough, Mr. Meyer. If there's anything you need in the future, please feel free to contact me. I'll do my best to help as a way of expressing my gratitude to you.”
After hanging up the phone, she was filled with excitement. She didn't even eat her meal. Grabbing the thermos that Zuniga had prepared, she headed straight for the hospital.
She spent last night researching information about heart transplant surgeries and didn't go to bed until very late.
She had planned to wait for Jean to come back, but Jean ended up staying at the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, she happened to see Jean coming out of the ward where Wrenn was.
“Why didn't you sleep a bit longer? Didn't you go to bed quite late last night?” Upon seeing her, Jean furrowed his brows slightly.
He walked over to her in a few strides and disapprovingly pinched her cheek.
Neera grunted in response, turning the tables to complain about him. “Don't you also go to bed very late? You can't keep pushing your body like this. You didn't come back last night. Were you afraid I'd scold you for staying up late? Have you been busy all night again?”
Jean smiled resignedly. “You've seen right through me. The company has been busy these past few days, and Joseph can't handle everything on his own. I try to deal with some of the business matters whenever I can.”
Hearing that, Neera looked worried. “How's the situation with the company?”
“Don't worry, everything is fine.”
“Those shareholders haven't caused any trouble, have they? And what about the rumors outside—”
“Don't worry about the rumors, the shareholders are behaving themselves. You don't need to stress over the company matters. Now, let's see, what delicious treats have you brought?”
He didn't want Neera to worry too much about him, so he simply changed the subject.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, she didn't ask further. After giving him the thermos, she suddenly remembered the important matter. “Oh yeah! We've found a matching heart!”
When Jean heard that, he narrowed his eyes, and his speech unconsciously quickened, carrying a sense of urgency. “When did this happen?”
“Just this morning. Mr. Meyer said that he had already sent someone to the hospital. You eat first, I'll go talk to the doctor. If there are no issues, we'll schedule the surgery in the next two days.”
“Let's go together.” Jean couldn't eat anymore. Holding her hand, they both headed toward the doctor's office together.
After understanding the situation, the doctor was also quite excited. “I'll immediately arrange for compatibility testing. Once we confirm there are no issues, we'll schedule the surgery right away. Mr. Frederic's health is deteriorating day by day. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid he may not be suitable for surgery anymore.”
Neera nodded, glanced at the time, and estimated that it was almost time. So, she went to the hospital entrance to wait.
However, nearly an hour had passed, and the heart still hadn't arrived.
Neera couldn't wait any longer.
George gave her a call that morning. It was he who sent someone to deliver the heart.
She dialed his number, but it didn't go through.
Unable to reach him, she began to feel uneasy and dialed another number.
That time, someone answered the phone.
However, it was an unexpected person. “Neera, you must have been waiting for a long time, haven't you?”
Upon hearing that voice, Neera narrowed her eyes, and her face darkened.
“Nicole, why is it you?” She asked coldly.
Nicole sneered, “Why can't it be me? Don't you want to hear my voice? Or are you saying you don't want the heart anymore?”
Upon hearing those words, Neera scowled.
She gritted her teeth tightly, immediately understanding Nicole's intentions. “So, the heart is in your hands. What do you want?”
It seemed as if Nicole had just snapped her fingers, speaking triumphantly. “It seems you're quite smart. A wise person submits to circumstances. Neera, if you want the heart, you'll have to pay a price that satisfies me. Who knows, if I'm pleased, I may just have the heart delivered to you immediately.”
Neera spoke in a deep voice. “Do you realize that this is a matter of life and death? You are a member of the World Medical Association and a medical practitioner. Yet, now you are joking about someone's life. Don't you think that's too much?”
Nicole scoffed dismissively. “What does someone else's life have to do with me?”
Then, she continued with a smug expression, “Actually, if it were someone else, I wouldn't bother getting involved. However, since it's about you, I have no choice but to step in. Neera, remember when I was greatly humiliated at the World Medical Alliance because of you? It's time for us to settle that score.”
Neera's eyes were cold and stern. “Whatever issues lie between us, however you wish to settle them, I'm ready to see it through to the end. However, I must have the heart as soon as possible. Any other matters, we can deal with later.”
“Do you think I'm a fool? To pass up such a golden opportunity, what leverage will I have over you in the future? Aren't you always so proud? I'd like to see how you can maintain that pride now! Neera, if you want the heart, fine. However, I want you to kneel and apologize to me in front of everyone. Once I'm satisfied, then I'll give you the heart. What do you think?”
Neera grimaced silently.
Her lips were tightly pressed together, and she did not utter a single word.
Beside her, Jean was staring at her face, noticing something was off. He quietly asked her, “What's happened?”
Neera shook her head, not responding to him. She spoke into the phone. “Do you find this amusing?”
“Interesting. Very interesting.” Nicole twirled a strand of her hair, speaking nonchalantly. “Neera, the conditions I proposed aren't too difficult to agree to, right? I didn't ask you to die or lose a piece of flesh. All I asked was for you to bow and apologize to me publicly. Such a small matter, and you can't even do it? Don't you want the heart anymore?”
The next day, George called, saying that a matching heart had been found.
Upon hearing that news, Neera was overjoyed. “Are you telling the truth? Are you sure?”
George chuckled. “Of course I'm sure. Otherwise, I wouldn't have contacted you so quickly.”
