Chapter 1369

Neera gently tapped the needle against Nicole’s skin. “Can you feel that? I’m serious. Coming from a family of doctors, you should know I’m not lying. If I insert this needle deeply into this meridian point, you will be completely incapacitated.”

As she spoke, Neera maintained a firm grip on Nicole, slowly moving the silver needle back until it reached a specific meridian point.

Sweat trickled down Nicole’s face. She was clearly shocked by the unexpected turn of events.

She clenched her teeth tightly, staring intently at Neera. “You dare?”

think Looking down at Nicole from a higher position, Neera wore an indifferent smile as she calmly replied, “Do you I wouldn’t dare? Nicole, I gave you a chance. Out of respect for Mr. Meyer, I didn’t want to make things too awkward. But you’ve provoked me time and time again. If I let you have your way today, wouldn’t that make me a pushover? I warned you earlier, but you still didn’t back off. So, I have no choice but to defend myself in this manner.”

Neera glanced at the four people around her as she spoke.

Two of them wanted to move but couldn’t, while the other two wanted to move but didn’t dare.

She withdrew her gaze, her voice dropping a few notches, carrying a hint of danger. “My silver needle has always been used to heal and save lives, never to harm. Nicole, I don’t mind if you become the first exception.”

Cold sweat dripped down Nicole’s forehead. Through gritted teeth, she managed to ask, “What do you want?”

Neera looked at Nicole as if she were a fool. “Don’t you know what I want? If you don’t want to spend the rest of your life in bed, have your people remove the heart now.”

Nicole was extremely unwilling. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Neera, aren’t you afraid that the Meyer family will be furious with what you’re doing?”

Neera raised her delicate eyebrow. “What should I be afraid of? I’m not the one who has done something wrong. Instead, you should think about how you’re going to explain your actions to Mr.

Meyer. I believe, as a righteous doctor, he won’t condone your behavior.”

After speaking, Neera glanced at the time, her patience wearing thin.

“Alright, I don’t have much time. Make a decision quickly. Do you want to settle this matter honestly, or do you want to spend the rest of your life as a good-for-nothing?” She added, “You don’t need to intimidate me with the Meyer family. You started this. I was merely defending myself. Even if you end up disabled, I doubt anyone from the Meyer family would dare to confront me for justice.”

Nicole’s face grew paler.

In the end, all she could do was grit her teeth and instruct her two injured subordinates to do as Neera had suggested.

Jean’s men had been waiting under the tree opposite the villa.

When they saw someone carrying a box, they wasted no time and immediately sprang into action, rushing over at lightning speed to apprehend the two individuals.

One of them even rushed into the villa. Upon seeing that Neera was safe and sound, he felt a wave of relief.

Seeing that the situation was resolved, Neera chose not to persist any longer. She released Nicole and gave her a mocking glance before quickly leaving.

After the ordeal, Nicole sat on the couch, listening to the sound of the car engine, her face as pale as paper.

A deep hatred surged in her eyes, overflowing with intensity. She clenched her fists tightly, gritting her teeth in anger as she said, “Neera, just you wait. This isn’t over between us!”

At that moment, Neera, sitting in the car, shivered.

She paid it no mind. As she thought about what had just happened, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

Fortunately, her previous practice with Finnley proved useful, which was a pleasant surprise.

The car sped along the road, covering a half-hour journey in just twenty minutes, and quickly arrived at its destination.

Jean was waiting at the door. Seeing her get out of the car, he quickly descended the stairs, grabbed her shoulders, and carefully examined her. “Are you hurt? Are you okay?”

Neera smiled. “How could I not be? Don’t worry, I’m doing great.”

After confirming that she was truly alright, Jean felt relieved.

Neera pulled him along. “Let’s not talk about anything else for now. Now that we have the heart, I’ll find a doctor. We need to quickly conduct a compatibility test. If there are no issues, we’ll arrange the surgery as soon as possible.”

Next, Neera became busy.

Although she wasn’t an expert in heart transplant surgeries, she had some experience and thus became a part of Frederic’s medical team.

Fortunately, the heart was a very good match, with minimal rejection reaction.

Once it was confirmed that Frederic’s physical condition could withstand a lengthy surgery, he was transferred from the intensive care unit to the operating room the following day.

Wrenn, Jean, and the three triplets waited at the door, enduring a seven-hour wait.

As Neera followed the attending physician out, everyone in the hallway stood up. They hurriedly approached, their faces filled with anticipation and anxiety, afraid they might hear bad news.

Wrenn’s lips trembled, her heart pounding as she cautiously asked, “Doctor, Neera, how is he? Is he alright?”

Jean’s face remained expressionless. His gaze passed over the doctor, landing directly on Neera. The look in his eyes was deep and complex.

Neera understood his concerns. She removed her mask, took a deep breath, and grinned as she nodded at him.
