Chapter 1065 Just now, when Dr. Terrill mentioned about Hadleyâs autopsy, he questioned Dr. Yeager due to his nervousness, which was kinda like admitting indirectly Now Bernard was questioning him again, just to make him clearly explain the whole incident. Only with a detailed process couldâthey proceed with their investigation If he remained as obstinate as Yeager, the recording lured out by Dr. Terrill would be enough to prove his quilt.
If he cooperated, perhaps Bernard might be lenient with him, considering he was just an accomplice and not the mastermind. After all, Bernardâs true target was Yeager, not Jess.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Jess made a request to Bernard: âMr. Laurence, I know that once this matter is revealed, you will surely use audio and video evidence to help Mr. Webb clear his name. But my professional career will undoubtedly be ruined. I am willing to take the risk and tell you the truth, but you must find a way to keep me out of itâ
He needed at least to protect his identity from the outside world, so that even if he couldnât continue working in his home country, there might still be a way forward abroad.
Jess deeply regretted accepting money from Yeager, but it was the desperation for money that led him to engage in actions that violated medical ethics. However, since the deed was done, he now had to find an exit strategy as soon as possible. As for Yeager, he was struggling to protect himself and had little concern for others.
Seeing Jess propose this condition, Yeager clenched his fists and glared at him. However, Jess didnât even look at Yeager, focusing solely on Bernard.
âMr. Laurence, do you accept this condition?â Jess asked Bernard.
The corners of Bernardâs mouth curled up slightly. âYou are the first person to negotiate with me,â he remarked.
Jess was taken aback by his response, thinking Bernard would reject his offer, but he saw him nod.
âDeal.â
Only then did Jess breathe a sigh of relief and detailed how Yeager bribed him and taught him how to write the report.
With Jessâs confession, all they need was to pry the reason why Yeager concealed the patientâs condition from his mouth.
Bernard retreated back to the couch, propped up his long legs lazily, and looked at Yeager who was pinned to the ground.
âJess not only spilled the beans, but also provided the transfer records as evidence. If you still wonât admit your guilt, itâs all for nothingâ
âThen take Jessâs accusations against me to court.â
In any case, the body had already been cremated, and as for the autopsy report conducted by Hadley, it was merely a lie concocted by Liana to deceive Jess. Yeager refused to believe that by steadfastly denying the accusations, he could easily be brought down based solely on Jessâs claims.
However, it was evident that Bernard had no intention of resorting to legal procedures.
âDr Yeager, do you think Iâve imprisoned you here to press charges against you?â Bernardâs words made Yeagerâs heart sink, and he squinted as he gazed at the man sitting in the light.
âThen why have you detained me?â Yeager asked.
Bernard didnât reply, instead, he gestured to Aidyn, who quickly retrieved a small knife from his military boots and handed it to Bernard. Wearing gloves, Bernard lightly flicked the sharp blade.
âI heard that a doctorâs hands are priceless, what would happen if I cut off your tendons?â
His voice was flat, but full of veiled threats, making Yeager instinctively clench his hands.
âIf you use torture to force me to talk, itâs invalid in court.â
âIt seems you still donât get it.
Jess next to him couldnât stand it anymore.
âMr. Laurence means he doesnât plan to go through legal procedures. He just wants to expose what youâve done to the medical community, so whether he uses torture or not doesnât really matterâ
After explaining in a hurry, Jess anxiously advised Yeager with deep concern.
âDr. Yeager, stop resisting. Mr. Laurence merely wants to give Mr. Webb a clean slate. As long as you admit your mistakes, he will allow you to return to your home country. This way, you can still find work abroad with your medical skills. But if your hands are destroyed, you will never be able to practice surgery again Jess pleaded.

âWhat about my Nobel Prize in Medicine?!â Yeagerâs furious voice left Jess stunned.
âThatâs Mr. Webbâs research achievement, what does it have to do with you?â Jess replied.
âHow does it not have anything to do with me?!â Yeager glared at Jess angrily. âI helped him with experiments, prepared medicinal materials, and even proposed questions and solutions. How can you say it has nothing to do with me?â
âBut you were just helping, itâs not your own research achievement, Jess reasoned. He couldnât comprehend Yeagerâs logic if helping could lead to a Nobel Prize in Medicine, then shouldnât he also receive an award for assisting Hadley with autopsies?
âI donât care if I was just helping, I must get what I want!â Yeager proclaimed firmly Bernard sat on the couch, leaning forward with his elbow on his knee, staring at Yeager with a gaze filled with resentment and defiance. âYou want the Nobel Prize in Medicine, donât you?â
âAs a doctor, who wouldnât want the Nobel Prize in Medicine?â Yeager retorted.
