Chapter 1364
Upon hearing that, Leopold furrowed his brows, revealing his disbelief. “Impossible. Ms. Garcia is not that kindof person. Are you throwing another tantrum? I've told you countless times to restrain yourself, but you just won'tlisten—”
Nicole was instantly furious. “You're annoying, you know that? Are you my brother or her brother? I'm your realsister. 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 andascended 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 younow? 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 comefor?”
George didn't want her to ask that, and he glanced at her. “Why are you asking so many questions? Are you closewith 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 tofind me.” At that point, he let out a sigh, his tone filled with admiration. “Despite her young age, she is alreadyhailed as a miracle doctor. Her exceptional medical skills are unmatched, and she gained significant recognitionfrom the World Medical Alliance. You should learn from her, instead of gallivanting around all day. Only whenyour 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'srequest.
“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 dowith 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 talkingabout?”
“I'm not talking nonsense! Grandpa, how many times have you met her? How could you possibly know what kindof 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 ofpoints 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 asshe 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 forsome other reason, weren't you? Why else would the World Medical Alliance arbitrarily deduct your points anddemote you? Nicole, you need to control your temper. Nancy is a good girl, you should learn more from her. Idon'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, heranger 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 conflictwith 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 shestirs things up or not doesn't really matter. What's crucial is whether Mr. Meyer will believe her. I trust that he'snot the type to be swayed by one-sided stories. He will make his own judgment about what others say. As for thematter of the heart, even if he harbors some resentment, considering that I once saved him, he wouldn't refuse tohelp.”
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. novelbin
The triplets were also sitting off to the side, their short legs dangling off the edge of the bench, unable to touch theground. 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 deepconcern.
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.
