A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1065

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.
