Chapter 719 Canât Leave Her
When Neera called, Obadiah was in the middle of something.
He was discussing data with his students when he picked up the call. He wondered, âNeera? Whatâs
up?â
She took a deep breath and calmly replied, âMr. Hanson, there are two things I need to inform you. It has something to do with Thora.â
Obadiah sensed the grave undertone in her voice. He quickly wrapped up the conversation with his
students and stepped out of the lab.
Once in the hallway, he asked, âOkay, you can tell me now. What happened?â
She went straight to the point and detailed all of Thoraâs wrongdoings.
The more he listened to it, the angrier he got; his complexion darkened due to his anger. He reprimanded, âHow could this irresponsible sc um do such a thing? How dare she put someoneâs life
in danger!â
He was panting heavily. Apparently, he was exasperated with his daughterâs wrongdoing.
âDonât worry.
I will try to contact her.â
Neera grunted and said, âThank you, Mr. Hanson.â
At this point in the conversation, an awkward silence shrouded the two.
Neera didnât hang up the phone, as if she were waiting for a shoe to drop.
It took Obadiah a few seconds, as he struggled to speak his mind.
He moved his lips a few times before saying, âIf I do reach her, Iâll make sure she apologizes and makes amends for her mistakes. Please, for the sake of me, could you help me speak up for her?â
With full knowledge of how outrageous Thoraâs behavior was, he struggled to make this request.
This request did not surprise Neera. She made her position clear.
âIâve put up with her for a long time, but only because I have respect for you. This time, however,
âI donât need to tell you what kind of family they are. I still have to clean up her mess and treat the victims right now, soâ¦â
â
Obadiah sighed after hearing this.
He was neither disappointed nor dissatisfied; he was simply overwhelmed by guilt and helplessness.
My daughter had caused such a mess, but my proudest student had to clean up after her. How
ironic!
âIâm sorry, Neera. I shouldnât have asked; because of this, youâve had a difficult time and a lot to deal
with.â
Neera was still upset after their phone call was cut off. Her eyes were clouded with melancholy.
Kyra received a phone call from Wrenn early in the morning.
She was taken aback because she had never expected things to turn out this way.
Thora had confidently promised that she could treat Jean. It turned out that she had made matters
worse.
Kyra attempted to defend herself in panic, terrified of losing Wrennâs support.
âI met Thora by chance. I knew she was Obadiahâs daughter and trusted her medical abilities, but I
only told Uncle Clarence about her. I didnât introduce her to Jean. I wouldnât have let her treat Uncle Clarence if I had known she was so untrustworthy!â
Her voice was filled with resentment and on the verge of tears.
âYouâve got no idea. Jean has recently developed a strong dislike for me. Heâs been pressuring me at work. Iâve tried not to irritate him any further. I dare not approach him for fear of upsetting him further.
Why would I allow Thora to harm him? Donât you believe me?â
Wrenn had a rough idea of what had happened after she grasped the situation.
Wrenn had a rough idea of what had happened after she grasped the situation.
Kyra appears to have introduced Thora to Clarence. Then Clarence leveraged this connection. He contacted Karl and introduced her to Peter to treat his son.
Kyra, from this vantage point, had little to do with it.
Wrenn let out a sigh. She believed Kyra.
Iâve misunderstood you. Please donât take it to heart.â
âItâs okay,â Kyra said, relieved. âI understand youâre worried about Jean. Itâs natural to be anxious when heâs sick and we canât get hold of the culprit.â
She went on to inquire about Jeanâs health.
Wrenn creased her brows, her face pale from a restless nightâs sleep.
âItâs bad. He had seizures all night and passed out as dawn approached. Neera said he might be in a coma for several days. Weâre not sure when heâll wake up.â
Kyraâs heart thumped furiously when she heard Wrenn bring up Neera.
Despite her words of concern, her heart sank.
Does this imply that Jean could die without Neeraâs care? Is it possible for them to divorce in this case?
When was I going to get my
chance?
Is Aunt Wrenn even showing signs of acceptance now that she seems to have softened her stance
toward Neera? Isnât it becoming more and more unfavorable for me if thatâs the case?
