Chapter 598 The Recording

I was in agony at that moment. How could I come up with a surgical plan for him when I could barely take care of

myself?

However, he insists that he is telling the truth.

“Yes.”

Isaac let out a soft sigh and gazed into Cherise’s eyes. “Dr. Shaw, I don’t want to hide anything from you.”

“I understand why you were hesitant to acknowledge what happened back then, but here…”

He glanced at Damien. “This gentleman doesn’t seem to be an outsider, so I’ll be honest.”

“Regarding that surgery, you called me and instructed me to use the surgical plan for a patient with a similar

condition to operate on this patient.”

“I even questioned your decision and reminded you of the potential differences between individual patients.”

“Yet, you dismissed my concerns. You insisted that their conditions were identical and using the same surgical plan

would be fine.”

Isaac spoke earnestly, but Cherise couldn’t help but scoff. “Are you certain?”

She only found out about the surgery when Lucy informed her after returning from

treatment overseas.

Yet, Isaac claimed that she had contacted him back then.

She had no recollection of ever calling him.

“I’m sure.” Isaac took a deep breath, “Actually…”

He lowered his gaze. “I felt the treatment was inappropriate at the time, but you insisted there would be no issues.

So, I recorded our conversation for my own protection.”

Cherise was stunned and stared at him in disbelief. “You recorded it?”

She had no idea Isaac would resort to recording their alleged phone conversation to safeguard himself.

“I apologize.”

Isaac bowed his head. “I was immature back then and feared that the treatment would jeopardize my future

career, so…

“But rest assured, Dr. Shaw, no one heard that recording except for me.”

“You were concerned about self-preservation and even went as far as recording the conversation.” Damien Lenoir

frowned and asked calmly, “Why didn’t you present it during the hospital investigation? Why did you choose to

shoulder all the blame instead?”

Isaac quietly gripped the armrest of the couch. “I changed my mind.”

“I felt that I shouldn’t hinder the career of the mentor who guided me for the sake of advancement.”

my own

“Dr. Shaw was my first mentor after graduation. All my achievements at that time were attributed to her.”

“Furthermore, I am fully aware that despite Dr. Shaw being only three or four years older than me, her

accomplishments indicate that she is more intelligent, skilled, and talented than I am.”

“If someone has to take responsibility for this matter, let it be me.”

“Dr. Shaw still has countless more patients to save in the future.”

Cherise fell silent.

She pursed her lips and looked at Isaac. Suddenly, she realized that she had overanalyzed things.

Isaac had been by her side since he joined the hospital.

She knew better than anyone the kind of person he was and his character.

When he got into trouble, she felt it was a shame that such a well-mannered young man could be so desperate for

recognition and success that he secretly performed surgery to prove his worth.

Looking into Isaac’s sincere eyes and listening to his words, Cherise realized that she had misjudged him.

He was still the same honest and sincere young man as when they first met.

“Can we listen to the recording?”

Damien stood up. He pulled down the clinic’s roller shutter, drew the curtains, and enclosed the clinic in complete

privacy.
