A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1065

Just now, when Dr. Terrill mentioned about Hadley’s autopsy, he questioned Dr. Yeager due to his

nervousness, which was kinda like admitting indirectly

Now Bernard was questioning him again, just to make him clearly explain the whole incident. Only with

a detailed process could’they proceed with their

investigation

If he remained as obstinate as Yeager, the recording lured out by Dr. Terrill would be enough to prove

his quilt.

If he cooperated, perhaps Bernard might be lenient with him, considering he was just an accomplice

and not the mastermind. After all, Bernard’s true target was Yeager, not Jess.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Jess made a request to Bernard: “Mr. Laurence,

I know that once this matter is revealed, you will surely use audio and video evidence to help Mr. Webb

clear his name. But my professional career will undoubtedly be ruined. I am willing to take the risk and

tell you the truth, but you must find a way to keep me out of it”

He needed at least to protect his identity from the outside world, so that even if he couldn’t continue

working in his home country, there might still be a way forward abroad.

Jess deeply regretted accepting money from Yeager, but it was the desperation for money that led him

to engage in actions that violated medical ethics. However, since the deed was done, he now had to

find an exit strategy as soon as possible. As for Yeager, he was struggling to protect himself and had

little concern for others.

Seeing Jess propose this condition, Yeager clenched his fists and glared at him. However, Jess didn’t

even look at Yeager, focusing solely on Bernard.

“Mr. Laurence, do you accept this condition?” Jess asked Bernard.

The corners of Bernard’s mouth curled up slightly. “You are the first person to negotiate with me,” he

remarked.

Jess was taken aback by his response, thinking Bernard would reject his offer, but he saw him nod.

“Deal.”

Only then did Jess breathe a sigh of relief and detailed how Yeager bribed him and taught him how to

write the report.

With Jess’s confession, all they need was to pry the reason why Yeager concealed the patient’s

condition from his mouth.

Bernard retreated back to the couch, propped up his long legs lazily, and looked at Yeager who was

pinned to the ground.

“Jess not only spilled the beans, but also provided the transfer records as evidence. If you still won’t

admit your guilt, it’s all for nothing”

“Then take Jess’s accusations against me to court.”

In any case, the body had already been cremated, and as for the autopsy report conducted by Hadley,

it was merely a lie concocted by Liana to deceive Jess. Yeager refused to believe that by steadfastly

denying the accusations, he could easily be brought down based solely on Jess’s claims. However, it

was evident that Bernard had no intention of resorting to legal procedures.

“Dr Yeager, do you think I’ve imprisoned you here to press charges against you?” Bernard’s words

made Yeager’s heart sink, and he squinted as he gazed at the man sitting in the light.

“Then why have you detained me?” Yeager asked.

Bernard didn’t reply, instead, he gestured to Aidyn, who quickly retrieved a small knife from his military

boots and handed it to Bernard. Wearing gloves, Bernard lightly flicked the sharp blade.

“I heard that a doctor’s hands are priceless, what would happen if I cut off your tendons?”

His voice was flat, but full of veiled threats, making Yeager instinctively clench his hands.

“If you use torture to force me to talk, it’s invalid in court.”

“It seems you still don’t get it.

Jess next to him couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Mr. Laurence means he doesn’t plan to go through legal procedures. He just wants to expose what

you’ve done to the medical community, so whether he uses torture or not doesn’t really matter”

After explaining in a hurry, Jess anxiously advised Yeager with deep concern.

‘Dr. Yeager, stop resisting. Mr. Laurence merely wants to give Mr. Webb a clean slate. As long as you

admit your mistakes, he will allow you to return to your home country. This way, you can still find work

abroad with your medical skills. But if your hands are destroyed, you will never be able to practice

surgery again Jess pleaded.

“What about my Nobel Prize in Medicine?!” Yeager’s furious voice left Jess stunned.

“That’s Mr. Webb’s research achievement, what does it have to do with you?” Jess replied.

“How does it not have anything to do with me?!” Yeager glared at Jess angrily. “I helped him with

experiments, prepared medicinal materials, and even proposed questions and solutions. How can you

say it has nothing to do with me?”

“But you were just helping, it’s not your own research achievement, Jess reasoned. He couldn’t

comprehend Yeager’s logic if helping could lead to a Nobel Prize in Medicine, then shouldn’t he also

receive an award for assisting Hadley with autopsies?

“I don’t care if I was just helping, I must get what I want!” Yeager proclaimed firmly

Bernard sat on the couch, leaning forward with his elbow on his knee, staring at Yeager with a gaze

filled with resentment and defiance. “You want the Nobel Prize in Medicine, don’t you?”

“As a doctor, who wouldn’t want the Nobel Prize in Medicine?” Yeager retorted.
