Female Novel
Chapter 1070
“Neera, what's the matter?” At that moment, Isabella was still unclear about the situation.
Neera didn't feel like making small talk with her. She went straight to the point and asked, “I heard that Mr.Frederic had a car accident. What happened?”
Isabella was taken aback by the question. She hadn't expected her friend to know.
After a brief pause, she realized she couldn't keep that a secret any longer. She had no choice but to reveal thetruth. “Don't panic just yet. It's true that Mr. Frederic had a car accident. Since it happened close to my location,he was brought here. I was the one who performed the surgery on him. Although the procedure was a bit risky,and we had to issue several critical condition notices, we saved his life in the end. He is still in the intensive careunit right now, but all the vital signs are stable. We're just waiting for them to wake up. Don't worry too much, I'mhere. Nothing will go wrong.”
After listening to it all, Neera hesitated for a moment but still decided to ask about Jean. “What about Jean? Howis he doing now?”
Isabella responded truthfully, “He's fine. You should know him well enough. He can always keep his cool in theface of any major event, let alone now when the huge Beauvort family needs him to hold the fort. After Mr.Frederic was saved, the situation wasn't too bad, either. Actually, on the day of the incident, he was already at theairport with his suitcase, ready to go abroad to find you. Unfortunately, he received news of Mr. Frederic's caraccident. This forced him to abandon his trip to Essley to find you. These past few days, he's been staying at thehospital, keeping an eye on the situation here. He hasn't had much rest.” After speaking, she rememberedsomething and quickly clarified. “Please understand. I didn't intend to hide this from you. It was Jean who askedme to keep it a secret. He was afraid that you would worry if you knew, so he didn't allow me to tell you. Please,don't be angry...”
Neera was not angry, though she did feel her heart twisting. Such a major incident occurred in the Beauvortfamily, yet Jean was still afraid of worrying me and keeping it a secret from me...
Whenever she couldn't see Jean, she always felt uneasy.
Seeing Neera silent for quite a while, Isabella guessed that the former was feeling heartbroken. “Don't worry. Outof respect for you, I've arranged a lounge for him these past few days. He's not having a hard time, so you don'tneed to feel so sorry for him. After all, he bullied you so much in the past. It's only right that he faces somehardship now.”
Neera didn't pay attention to those words. Her mind was filled with the image of that man, leaving a bitter taste inher heart.
After hanging up the phone, she seemed somewhat distracted. She sat in her office for a long while before shefinally mustered the energy to go to Avery's place.
After examining Avery's condition, Neera took her time to pack things up.
Avery walked over and, upon seeing the situation, couldn't help but show concern. “What's wrong with you? Areyou feeling down? Did something happen?” novelbin
Neera shook her head. Her mind was still in a mess, so she didn't feel like saying much.
Avery didn't insist. Instead, he changed his approach, hoping to help lift her mood. “The flowers in the backyardare quite beautiful. Would you like to go see them together?”
Neera wasn't in the mood to appreciate it, so she quietly declined. “Let's do it another day. I have some things to
take care of today, so I'll be heading back now.”
After she finished speaking, she reminded him of the things he needed to be careful about regarding his health atthat stage. Then, she prepared to leave.
Avery did not insist, nodding. “All right, I've taken note of it. You should go back and rest now. Be careful on theway back.”
Right as he sent her out, but before he could even reach the main entrance, he saw the two elders rushing back inhaste.
“Ms. Garcia is also here?!” First, they greeted Neera, then turned their gaze to Avery, their expressions slightlysolemn. “Mr. Cox, we have important matters to report.”
Upon hearing that, Neera guessed it probably had something to do with the Cox family. She promptly said, “Youguys carry on with your conversation. I'll be leaving now.”
To her surprise, the two elders actually stopped her. “Ms. Garcia, please wait a moment. You should listen to thisas well. After all, this matter is somewhat related to the Gordon family. As the successor of the Gordon family, itwould be beneficial for you to know about this in advance.”
Not wanting to think about the matters concerning the Gordon family inside, Neera hesitated for a moment.However, she still nodded in agreement.
