Chapter 604 Isaac The Innocent
Jordyn took a deep breath and realized that only one person could be responsible for this entire mess… Dr. Lane herself!
“Yeah, Kelly told me she couldn’t bear to see Isaac suffer like that,” Jordyn said.
“Remember when you got drunk and confessed about taking the blame for him? I told Kelly everything after that,” she continued, “She suggested that I use a public event, like Cherise’s lecture, to shame her and reveal the truth to everyone…”
Jordyn locked eyes with Isaac and tightly squeezed his hand. “Isaac, I did all of this for you!”
He frowned. “For me? If you truly cared, you wouldn’t have done this!”
Isaac pulled his hand away and turned to Damien. “Mr. Lenoir, this entire situation…”
Damien rubbed his temples, wearing a tired smile on his face. “Well, this is enough evidence to prove who has been manipulating everything. Anyway, my driver will take you both home after this.”
Just as Damien was about to leave, a thought stopped him in his tracks. He glanced at Isaac and asked, “Regarding that incident, what if you hadn’t taken the blame for Cherise back then? Do you think things would be different?”
Isaac nodded curtly. “Of course. If Dr. Shaw had accepted responsibility, I would have faced a pay cut and a written apology at worst. But she…”
Isaac lowered his gaze, his eyes filled with a hint of inferiority and melancholy. “She’s a superstar in the academic world, shining brightly. As for me? I make mistakes; nob*dy cares. Nob*dy would care if I were expelled from Lermille Hospital, perhaps. But her career would be ruined if she took responsibility for something this serious. Her career would be over… No. more operating rooms, no second chances…”
Damien’s eyes showed a flicker of understanding. “I understand now. I might have a way to clear
your name.”
Jordyn’s eyes widened in astonishment. She jumped to her feet, her hand reaching out to grip Isaac’s. “Really? You can clear his name? Oh my God, that’s incredible!”
Her voice overflowed with excitement. “Even though Isaac has been stuck in that rural clinic for two years, he has been devouring academic journals online! He still dreams of becoming a top cardiac surgeon!”
Damien raised an eyebrow. “So, the timid little cat has finally grown some claws?”
Jordyn’s cheeks turned as red as a ripe tomato. “Okay, maybe I was a bit excessive just now. But Mr. Lenoir, if you can make this happen, I’ll even apologize on my hands and knees!”
She attempted to kneel down, but Isaac caught her, his eyes pleading with Damien. “Let it go, Mr. Lenoir,” he said, his voice hoarse. “It’s over. As long as you take care of Dr. Shaw, that’s enough. I don’t need a hero’s welcome. I don’t need a comeback. I have a clinic here, and I’m perfectly content.”
Jordyn clenched her jaw. “Content? You can’t even afford your mother’s medical bills…”
