Chapter 740

Caiden spoke earnestly. “I will handle this properly.”

Lucas trusted Belinda’s positive rapport with Caiden and knew Caiden wouldn’t harm her. So, he nodded, allowing Caiden to handle the matter.

Caiden’s face broke into a reassuring smile before he redirected his attention back to Jillian. “You’ve heard that,” he said firmly. “Mr. Clark will no longer intervene in this matter.”

With an air of authority that commanded attention, he continued, “Now, I’m going to pose a few questions to you. If you respond honestly and transparently, I will consider transferring your father to a different physician’s care.”

Upon hearing this, both Belinda and Lucas frowned slightly.

Belinda glanced at Caiden and opened her mouth as if to speak, but quickly thought better of it. After all, if Caiden had said that so confidently, there must have been sound reasoning behind his words. Thus, she chose to remain silent.

Noticing Belinda’s silence, Lucas also held his tongue.

Jillian’s eyes immediately lit up with flickers of hope at Caiden’s words. Caiden continued with a steady voice, “First off, when you visited Turner’s office that day, what did you say to him?”

At this question, Belinda’s frown deepened. So, Jillian had secretly sought out Turner before!

Jillian was momentarily taken aback by the directness of the inquiry. After reflecting on Caiden’s words for a moment, she hesitated but ultimately responded candidly, “I requested Dr. Ortiz to talk to Dr. Wright about transferring my father to his care. But Dr. Ortiz declined outright. He mentioned that only if Dr. Wright agreed to the change, he would take my father on as his patient.”

Belinda couldn’t help but let a sardonic smile grace her lips at this revelation. Now, she comprehended why Jillian had exhausted every possible way to make her change her mind.

Caiden continued, “Has your father genuinely been feeling unwell these past few days?”

Jillian blinked before responding without hesitation, “Of course…”

Caiden said sharply, “Remember, I instructed you to answer truthfully!”

Jillian bit her lip in contemplation, her brow knitted in concern as doubt crept into her mind. After a lengthy pause, she finally admitted reluctantly, “He hasn’t been feeling unwell.”

As soon as those words left her lips, the spectators outside the ward looked at Jillian with scorn in their eyes.

Caiden spoke once more with unwavering authority. “Final question—are you absolutely certain you wish to change your father’s attending physician? I hope you will deliberate on this thoroughly. Firstly, Dr. Wright is the one who understands your father’s condition the best. Secondly, your father is scheduled for surgery in just a few days. Altering physicians at this juncture is not only unwise but could also jeopardize your father’s health. You should think about the matter before making such an important decision.”
