Chapter 361 Commence the Operation
Olivia froze, not responding for a long time. It seemed like she hadn’t expected Nicole to say something
like that.
“Old Mr. Benedict and my mother go way back. There’s no way I’d look away and not save him
because of you,” Nicole said inly while looking at Olivia, who appeared somewhat difited as
she kneeled on the ground.
Olivia stood right up after hearing her words and asked quizzically with narrowed eyes, “Why didn’t you
go to Gardner Residence and instead have mee and beg you?!”
Nicole smirked and lifted a brow before she said bluntly, “That’s because I want to embarrass you and
have youe and beg me!”
Olivia trembled and seethed with rage, but she knew she couldn’tsh out. Hence, she only stared at
Nicole with a zing gaze for a long time.
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
Meanwhile, thetter snorted and said nothing more when she did not see Olivia getting riled up.
“I’ve now humiliated myself and also kneeled while begging you. I hope you can stick to your word and
save my father,” said Olivia as she looked at Nicole after collecting herself.
To that, Nicole held onto the door frame and saidzily, “Oh, I know what to do. There’s no need to
bother yourself with it.”
With that, she shut the door without even sparing Olivia a nce.
The woman was so livid that her eyes were aze, but all she could do now was pocket her anger, for
there was nothing she could do about Nicole at present.
Nicole, on the other hand, took a full day’s rest before finally going to Gardner Residence.
Performing surgery was also manualbor, after all. At the very least, she had to be well-rested before
commencing the operation.
To Nicole’s surprise, Pierre hade as well. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him with
hints of annoyance. She couldn’t bring herself to think good of this fiend at all.
Pierre was in a jovial mood and hurriedly stood up to approach Nicole when he saw her arrive. “I
thought you looked familiar, and I didn’t realize you’re actually Nicolson’s protégé. Pleased to make
your acquaintance.”
With that, he reached his hand out for a handshake.
However, Nicole didn’t return the gesture nor say anything, only taking a gander at the extended palm.
Very quickly, awkwardness filled the air around them, and it was Anna who jumped in to relieve the
situation in the end.
“Nicole, Doctor Toth is worried that an ident might happen during your operation, so he hase to
give you offsite support. If anything happens, we’d be able to rectify it,” said Anna in a low voice. It was
clear that they disapproved of Nicole’s medical skills when it was put that way. Then again, this had to
do with Benedict’s life. Anotheryer of insurance meant a better sess rate, so Anna had no reason
to turn Pierre down when he approached her.
Nicole knew what Anna was thinking when she saw how difited the woman looked, so she wasn’t
upset. “I understand, Mrs. Gardner.” Nicole nodded. “I’ll do my best, but I hope you can promise me
that you won’t let anyonee in mid-operation before Ie out.”
This surgery was inevitably an arduous battle; even Nicole wasn’tpletely confident about how long
the surgery would take. However, in case Pierre decided to badmouth her during the surgery, she
thought it was best that she took measures before going in.
At that moment, Colton stepped in before Anna could agree. “I’ll have the bodyguards surround
Grandpa’s room until youe out. No one will be able to enter in the meantime.”
His guarantee had reassured Nicole.
Though Olivia had yielded on the surface, she might still flip if Pierre’s bullsh*t got to her.
Once she made sure that everything was ready, Nicole took Julia into Benedict’s room.
The Gardners did notck money, so all the medical equipment in Benedict’s room was state-of-the-art.
Currently, Benedict was lying motionlessly on the bed, for he had been given an anesthetic shot.
Nicole closed her eyes and tucked away all her nervousness, collecting herself. When she opened her
eyes again, they were filled with nothing butmitment.
