The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Neera’s face tensed, her usually gentle expression replaced with a grimace.

After a brief silence, she spoke in a cool voice, her lips slightly parted, “Where are you?”

Nicole laughed mockingly. “Tsk, tsk. Just as I expected from the renowned miracle doctor Nancy. She’ll agree to any terms to save a life. Maybe I made the terms too easy.”

“Nicole, I don’t have the time or patience to waste on you,” Neera replied impatiently.

Nicole furrowed her brows, dissatisfied with Neera’s attitude.

But she took satisfaction in the thought that Neera would soon apologize to her publicly and obsequiously.

“Alright, I can see you’re straightforward, so I won’t beat around the bush. No. 3 Silverlake Road. I’ll be waiting for you there. Just come,” Nicole added, “Remember, you’re not allowed to bring anyone. You must come alone.”

Neera’s expression faltered slightly.

Nicole narrowed her eyes and calmly warned, “Don’t think I’m unaware that you have an expert by your side. If I find out you didn’t come alone, I will immediately destroy the heart you desire, leaving you with nothing. Neera, if you don’t want your patient to be incurable, then behave yourself. Don’t try to play tricks on me, understand?”

After hanging up the phone, Neera tightly held onto it, her expression turning cold as frost.

“Was that Nicole?” Jean asked, his brows deeply furrowed. “What does she want?”

Neera could see his anxiety and felt guilty.

If she had been kinder to Nicole the last time they met, things might not have turned out this way.

In the end, she had overestimated Nicole’s character. She never thought Nicole would make light of such life- threatening matters.
