Chapter 1366

The heart transplant situation turned out to be much more positive than Neera had anticipated.

The following day, George called to inform her that a matching heart had been found.

Upon hearing the news, Neera was filled with joy. “Are you telling the truth? Are you certain?”

George chuckled. “Of course I’m sure. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have contacted you so promptly.”

Neera lost her appetite and left the restaurant, dropping her fork. “Can I go and get it now?”

“I know you’re anxious, so I’ve already made arrangements. You don’t need to come over. I’ll have someone deliver it to you. Just provide me with the hospital address.”

Neera expressed her gratitude repeatedly. “That’s wonderful. I can’t thank you enough, Mr. Meyer. If you ever need anything in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll do my best to help as a way of expressing my gratitude.”

After hanging up the phone, she was filled with excitement and didn’t even touch her meal. She grabbed the thermos that Zuniga had prepared and headed straight for the hospital.

She had spent the previous night researching information about heart transplant surgeries and had stayed up late.

Originally, she had planned to wait for Jean to return, but he ended up staying at the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, she coincidentally saw Jean coming out of Wrenn’s ward.

“Why didn’t you sleep a bit longer? Didn’t you go to bed quite late last night?” Jean furrowed his brows slightly upon seeing her.

He walked over to her in a few quick strides and playfully pinched her cheek.

Neera grunted in response, turning the tables to complain about him. “Don’t you also stay up 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 is the situation with the company?”

“Don’t worry, everything is fine.”

“Have the shareholders caused any trouble? 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 changed the subject.

Seeing that he didn’t want to discuss it further, she didn’t ask any more questions. 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 within the next two days.”

“Let’s go together.” Jean couldn’t eat anymore. Holding her hand, they both headed towards the doctor’s office.

After understanding the situation, the doctor was also quite excited. “I’ll immediately arrange for compatibility testing. Once we confirm that 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 had called her that morning. It was he who had 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.

This 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 adapts to the situation. 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 sealed, and she remained silent.

Beside her, Jean observed her expression, sensing that something was wrong. He softly inquired, “What’s wrong?”

Neera shook her head, choosing not to respond. She spoke into the phone, “Do you replace this amusing?”

“Interesting. Very interesting,” Nicole casually remarked, twirling a strand of her hair. “Neera, the conditions I proposed aren’t too difficult to agree to, are they? I didn’t ask you to die or sacrifice anything significant. All I asked was for you to publicly apologize and bow to me. It’s such a small matter, and you can’t even do it? Don’t you want the heart anymore?”
