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 plainly while looking at Olivia, who appeared somewhat discomfited 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 me come and beg you?!”
Nicole smirked and lifted a brow before she said bluntly, “That’s because I want to embarrass you and have you come and beg me!”
Olivia trembled and seethed with rage, but she knew she couldn’t lash out. Hence, she only stared at Nicole with a blazing gaze for a long time.
Meanwhile, the latter 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 said lazily, “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 glance.
The woman was so livid that her eyes were ablaze, 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 manual labor, after all. At the very least, she had to be well-rested before commencing the operation.
At that moment, Colton stepped in before Anna could agree. “I’ll have the bodyguards surround Grandpa’s room until you come 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 not lack 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 but commitment.
