Chapter 596 A Severe Burn
Damien chuckled. “What impression do you have of me?”
“Dignified, aloof, indifferent to everything, but clear about your goals and willing to give your all for them.”
Isaac turned around to pour a glass of water for Damien and placed it in front of him. “Am I correct, sir?”
Damien laughed again and looked at Isaac with a hint of approval. “Since you’ve guessed that I’m not a journalist, why not ask me to leave?”
“Because I think you might be a friend of Dr. Shaw.”
Isaac sat on the couch opposite Damien with a subtle smile on his lips.
When Cherise’s name was mentioned, Damien noticed a glimmer of admiration in Isaac’s
eyes.
This admiration seemed even more fervent than Syatt’s previous infatuation and respect for Cherise.
“You’re right. I am her friend.”
Damien took a sip of water before continuing, “But I know nothing about past events, which is why I came to inquire.”
“There’s not much to say about what happened back then.”
Isaac took a deep breath. “In Dr. Shaw’s absence, I took the liberty of operating on a patient. without considering their individual differences, resulting in a catastrophic incident on the operating table.”
He looked down and continued, “If it weren’t for Dr. Staber’s timely intervention, the patient could have died…”
The man sighed softly. “Despite my mistake, Dr. Shaw advocated for me, and the hospital staff were lenient towards me.”
“Otherwise, I might have had my medical license revoked, and I might not even have the means to earn a living now…”
His eyes filled with gratitude towards Cherise. “Dr. Shaw is an exceptional doctor. I’m fortunate to have encountered her when I first joined the hospital.”
“I’m also grateful for her guidance, which allowed a novice like me to participate in numerous renowned surgeries.”
Then, he turned to Damien and smiled. “I’ll handle Jordyn. Please assure Dr. Shaw when you return.”
“This matter won’t have any impact on her. It’s just my neighbor’s sister causing trouble.”
Damien narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened to Isaac. He was puzzled about something. “I’m not quite following. Why did you perform the surgery when Cherise wasn’t around?”
“Where was she then?”
Isaac sighed softly. “Dr. Shaw’s right hand suffered a severe injury and required regular rehabilitation treatment abroad.”
Damien was shocked.
Cherise’s right hand.
Her right hand…
He remembered the incident at their wedding five years ago.
She had thrown herself in front of him, using her hand to deflect Melanie’s knife.
But…
Even though he and Cherise were at odds then, he had closely monitored the treatment for her hand.
At the time, the doctor had mentioned that, with proper care, her hand would recover within a year without affecting her future life.
How could this be?
Noticing Damien’s silence, Isaac furrowed his brows and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Damien glanced at him. “Regarding Dr. Shaw’s hand… was it a tendon or bone injury?”
Isaac was surprised by the question.
He recalled seeing Dr. Shaw’s diagnosis on the table.
“Somewhat.”
Isaac pursed his lips. “But the main issue is that her hand suffered a severe burn.”
Damien was stunned. “A severe burn?”
