Chapter 375
Judging from the photo she stumbled upon on Isaac’s desk, as well as the patient’s file she saw, Irene realized that the two seemingly unrelated events were actually inextricably connected.
She might be meeting the woman in question tomorrow, too…
In the past, she would not have eavesdropped about others.
However, this concerned Isaac, so she wanted to find out if the patient was Isaac’s mother.
And who was Mick Gooding? Why would he be so attached to her?
Also, his reluctance to let others find out about the patient meant that there was something fishy involved.
Making up her mind, she headed to Admin to finish her errand, and returned to Stephen’s office.
Stephen was not around, and she stood by his desk, hesitating for a moment before picking up the patient’s file
Opening the folder, she was stunned when she saw the note that Stephen had performed a craniotomy on the woman named Layla Gooding.
Craniotomy? But Stephen’s specialty was cardiovascular diseases!
Moreover, there was no record of Layla having any cranial medical conditions, only the procedure itself. And as Irene was about to read through the key points, she heard someone outside say, “Dr. Carr.”
That meant Stephen had returned, so she quickly put the file back where she found it and made sure it looked like it was not touched.
Then, she pretended to be idling and waited until Stephen entered, flashing a smile, “Dr. Carr. Where were you just now? Anyway, I’ve spoken to Admin–Dr. Lohan will be at the CT scan room tomorrow morning.”
Stephen glanced at the table, and nodded when he saw that nothing was out of place. “Alright. Be here early tomorrow–you can go back to work now.”
As Irene turned to leave, Stephen sat behind his desk and stared at the document folder in front of him for a while.
There was something strange about that look in his eyes, as if he could tell that Irene had read it, but he did not expose her.
On the other hand, Irene heaved a huge sigh of relief once she got out of Stephen’s office.
It was the first time she snooped around like this!
That was when her phone suddenly rang, startling her.
Patting her chest to calm herself, she then whipped out her phone and answered it.
It was Lulu.
“I’m right outside your hospital. Are you free right now? We need to talk.”
“Okay,” Irene replied–she just happened to be free, and quickly headed outside once she hung up.
She saw Lulu standing at the main entrance from afar, and Zachary behind her.
She stopped in her tracks.
