Chapter 117 Misunderstanding
âMm-hmm.â
Jacob awkwardly took up the cup and had a sip of tea. âThis is what happened. On the day you got
injured, Mr. Hampson called me and asked me to come over personally to treat it. But, that dayâ¦â
Jacob let out a cough in embarrassment. âMy favorite TV show released the latest episode. I was too
lazy to head out, so I sent lan to treat your injury. Damien was unhappy that I sent his love rival to treat
you and warned me to avoid letting you guys meet.â
He scratched his head awkwardly before continuing, âI took his words seriously. But dismissing lan has
nothing to do with Damien.â

Jacob took another sip of tea and explained, âActually, the reason I dismissed simple. My clinic is small
and doesnât have many patients. Heâs an ambitious person stays in my clinic, he canât go far and fulfill
his career aspirations. He kept asking me why I didnât promote my medical skills. I felt that our visions
are different, so I let him go. allowing him to explore the wider world out there.â
After finishing explaining, Jacob yawned in resignation. âItâs as simple as that. What were you guys
thinking? You even disturbed my nap.
Cherise was rendered speechless after hearing from Jacob, not expecting such a reason.
She looked at Jacob before glancing at Damien. Then, she turned to look at Jacob again. âYou canât be
bluffing me, right?â
âWhy would I?â Jacob lay listlessly on the table. âIf you donât believe me, go and ask Ian. I even wished
him all the best when I dismissed him.â
Cherise pursed her lips and dug her nails into her palm. So⦠It seems like I misunderstood Damien.
She bit her lips and looked at Randall, who was sitting silently in the corner. âWhy then. was Cressa
admitted to the mental hospital?â
Randall didnât expect Cherise to ask him directly. He was startled for a second before standing up and
greeting Cherise politely. âMrs. Lenoir, I believe thatâs our family affair.â
âSimilar to Jacobâs, your matters are no longer as simple as family affairs.â
Damien took a sip of tea and said coldly, âTell us. Why did you send your daughter to the mental
hospital?â

Randallâs face reddened. He lowered his head and mumbled, âMr. Lenoir, can I refuse to answer this
question?â
Damien smirked and answered with an icy-cold voice. âWhat do you think?â
His tone and attitude were as aloof and domineering as always.
Looking distressed, Randall took a deep breath. âPlease donât misunderstand, Mrs. Lenoir. It wasnât Mr.
Lenoirâs idea to send Cressa to the mental hospital. Mr. Lenoir intended to send Cressa to a secluded
school abroad to learn some life lessons, but my wife and I canât. bear to be apart from her. The girl has
been spoiled since she was young. I know she was reckless and often offended youâ¦. So, I decided to
forge a mental checkup report and confine her to a special ward in the hospital. This is so that she
wonât suffer. At the same time, she can no longer provoke you, while my wife and I can still see herâ¦.
Cherise was utterly dumbfounded to hear the story. What kind of absurdity is this? He confined her
daughter in a mental hospital to keep her in the country and see her daily!
