The One He Dismissed Became The One He Died For novel Chapter 123

Claire sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her bare, delicate feet. She looked up at Miles, her voice tinged with a seductive sweetness.

"Dr. Zimmerman, there's something I want to discuss with you."

"Speak."

"Well..." Claire pinched the corner of his white coat. "Could you keep my mother's surgery a secret?"

She quickly added, "Like, the kind of secret no one can trace back to you. I know you have the connections to make it happen."

Hiding medical histories and surgical records wasn't exactly a difficult task.

He looked down at her, his gaze dropping. "Why?"

"Because I just don't want anyone to know." Claire blinked innocently. "We've been spending so much time together, and I'm worried people might start gossiping. I wouldn't want to ruin your pristine reputation, Dr. Zimmerman."

Miles remained expressionless. "The surgical process is strictly legal and compliant. I have nothing to fear from an audit."

Claire slid off the bed, stepping closer and tugging lightly at his coat.

"Come on, Dr. Zimmerman, do me a favor. I'm always at the hospital, and I really don't want to deal with rumors."

Her voice lifted at the end, soft and dripping with honey.

No matter how he analyzed it, her request was completely unreasonable.

But meeting those wide, doe-like eyes, Miles couldn't utter a single word of refusal.

"Alright." He gave a slight nod.

Claire's brow instantly relaxed. "I knew you were the best to me, Dr. Zimmerman."

"You saved my mother's life. How am I ever going to repay such a massive favor?"

She cooed flirtatiously, "I'm the kind of person who always repays her debts. So, how about—"

She dragged out her words, lifting up on her tiptoes, her warm breath brushing against him.

"I'll just have to give myself to you!"

Miles's eyes locked onto her face, taking in her sly, triumphant smile. He stayed silent for two seconds before flatly uttering a single word.

"Pass."

Claire sounded thoroughly displeased. "Why? Are you rejecting me, Dr. Zimmerman?"
