Chapter 597 The Truth
The clinic door swung open just as Damien was about to inquire further about Cherise’s injury.
A woman wearing a red coat and black boots entered the clinic.
Isaac nearly dropped the glass of water he was holding.
He stood up nervously and stared at Cherise in shock. “Dr. Shaw, Dr. Shaw…”
Cherise responded with a slight nod and walked in at a leisurely pace.
She had noticed Martha lingering outside the clinic for quite some time before leaving.
As soon as Martha was out of sight, Cherise immediately drove to the clinic.
She was afraid that Damien might impulsively attack Isaac.
Despite Isaac’s questionable character, she would not allow Damien to resort to violence.
After all, this was a small town, not the city he came from. His influence and power held no sway here.

However, to her surprise, the two men in the clinic did not seem as hostile as she had expected. Instead, they
appeared to be two old friends catching up.
Cherise walked over to the couch and took a seat beside Damien. She observed Isaac’s expression indifferently.
Then, she pulled out the pharmacist certificate from her pocket and placed it on the coffee table in front of Isaac.
“The hospital director said he wanted to return this to you by courier.”
“But I told him it’s not necessary.”
“It’s been two years since you left Lermille Hospital. As your former mentor, I thought I should check on how you’re
doing on behalf of the hospital.”
Cherise’s words caused Isaac to look down in shame. “I’m doing quite well.”
“Quite well?”
Cherise raised an eyebrow. “I can see that.”
“Well enough to send a neighbor to Lermille and spread rumors about me.”
“I… I’m sorry.”
Even after two years, Isaac still behaved timidly in front of Cherise. “Dr. Shaw, please don’t worry.”
“I’ll handle Jordyn properly.”
“I’ll travel to Lermille tomorrow to bring her back and explain to everyone… what happened back then was entirely
my fault.”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
The clinic fell into silence for a few seconds.
Cherise stared at Isaac in disbelief.
She looked at his face, which still bore a hint of youthfulness, and couldn’t detect any signs of deceit or dishonesty.
Furthermore, his eyes were sincere, and his words sounded genuine.
He showed no hesitation in trying to fix the problem or any intention to blackmail or extort her.

However, the things Jordyn had said could only have come from him.
Cherise furrowed her brow. “Since you weren’t involved in what Jordyn did, I’d like to know how you explained the
incident to her.”
Isaac pursed his lips. “I… I don’t know what nonsense I said when I was drunk…”
He avoided her gaze as he spoke.
Cherise Shaw frowned. “You’re lying. What did you tell her?”
Isaac pursed his lips and glanced at Cherise before turning to Damien. Then, he nervously rubbed his hands and
sank into the couch. “I… I told her the truth when I was drunk.”
Cherise immediately felt a surge of anger burning in her chest.
“The truth?”
What a load of nonsense!
Does his version of the truth mean telling Jordyn that he took the blame for what happened back then?
When the surgery went wrong, I was undergoing intensive treatment in Europe and enduring the agony of being
torn apart. Yet, he dares to claim that I devised the surgical plan.
