Chapter 603 Jordyn Came Clean
The notion of Jordyn and Isaac daring to cross paths with someone like Damien was not only laughable but also incredibly dangerous.
“Enough!” Isaac’s voice boomed like thunder, silencing Jordyn’s outburst. “You claim that someone told you
I’m in this predicament because of my time at Lermille Hospital? Tell me, who?”
Jordyn’s face turned pale. Had she accidentally revealed the truth? In a panic, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand. “No one! I was just…talking nonsense.”
Damien’s eyes narrowed, gleaming like sharpened steel. Jordyn’s nervous glances and clumsy lies exposed her. This easily rattled Jordyn was undoubtedly a pawn, and now was the perfect opportunity for a power move.
A wicked grin spread across his lips as he said, “I brought Isaac here to find out the truth about you, Jordyn. So, if you reveal who’s behind this drama, I might consider letting him go. Otherwise, his clinic will be shut down tomorrow, and his mother will be evicted from her comfortable ward. Seems like a fair trade, don’t you
think?”
The air grew heavy, filled with the threat of severe consequences. Jordyn’s breath caught in her throat. This was not a game of chance, but a matter of life and death.
The man’s tone and demeanor hinted at a chilling ruthlessness, leaving no room for doubt.
Jordyn’s hands clenched into fists, her voice trembling. “You wouldn’t dare!”
The man’s smile was chilling. “Of course I would. With enough money, I could buy every hospital in the area and ensure that Isaac’s mother never receives treatment.”
Jordyn’s eyes darted to Isaac’s pale face, her anger rising. She stepped in front of him, glaring at Damien. “Don’t take your anger out on him! I’m the one who made the mistake!”
Damien’s eyes glinted with malice. “And what if I want to?”
Jordyn’s glare intensified, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Don’t think you can intimidate me! Even if you buy every hospital in town, you can’t buy Kelly’s aunt’s hospital! Her hospital would never turn away Isaac’s mother!”
“Kelly’s aunt is Isaac’s former teacher, and she would never deny him or his mother medical care!”
Isaac furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “Kelly? Kelly Swigel??”
The name struck a chord.
Jordyn’s lips tightened, realizing her slip-up. She decided to come clean. “It was her… It was Kelly who told me about Isaac’s struggles, all stemming from a medical incident that happened years ago. She said that even though Isaac admitted to his mistakes, she always believed that a man of his character wouldn’t make such a careless error. There must be more to the story.”
Isaac’s voice trembled slightly. “So, you came back to town to get me drunk and extract information from me when I’m most vulnerable?”
The reason for his trembling was not just surprise; it was because Kelly, despite being Dr. Lane’s niece, had never shown any interest in medical matters.
During the time of Isaac’s incident, Kelly was studying abroad. She hadn’t even expressed concern about her aunt, Dr. Lane’s promotion, so why would she suddenly care about Isaac, someone insignificant to her and who had long been expelled from Lermille Hospital?
