The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1351

Of course, you couldn't be that blunt with a patient.

"Mr. Foster, your condition is a direct result of your work environment."

"Without knowing exactly what radioactive elements you've been exposed to, I have no starting point for treatment."

"Even if I forced myself to prescribe something, it would only offer temporary relief."

"Your devotion to your work—your inability to leave that toxic environment—is exactly why you're at death's door."

Frederick understood perfectly.

Either she needed to know what the radioactive element was so she could research it and potentially create a cure...

Or he needed to leave his work environment and stay by her side long-term for treatment.

Needless to say, Frederick was overthinking things.

In reality, Claire had zero intention of curing him.

Prolonged exposure to radioactive elements was essentially a death sentence.

Even if she could suppress the symptoms, it could never be fully cured.

Furthermore, Claire didn't even know if Frederick Foster was a decent human being.

What if he was total scum?

He had, after all, defected from Solenia to Sundara and changed his name.

The man could very well be a traitor.

Claire knew she was assuming the worst, but she was already planning to call Dane the second she left the hotel, asking him to contact Walden and look into this guy's background.

She felt it was best to proactively report unpredictable variables like him.

Otherwise, it would be too easy for someone to accuse her of colluding with him.

Even though espionage investigations weren't as draconian as they used to be, news still occasionally broke about corporate spies being rooted out of major companies.

Even national broadcasting networks had uncovered spies in their ranks before, hadn't they?

Claire's caution was entirely justified.
