A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1065

Just now, when Dr. Terrill mentioned about Hadley's autopsy, he questioned Dr. Yeager due to his nervousness, which was kinda like admitting indirectly.

Now Bernard was questioning him again, just to make him clearly explain the whole incident. Only with a detailed process could they proceed with their investigation.

If he remained as obstinate as Yeager, the recording lured out by Dr. Terrill would be enough to prove his guilt.

If he cooperated, perhaps Bernard might be lenient with him, considering he was just an accomplice and not the mastermind. After all, Bernard's true target was Yeager, not Jess.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Jess made a request to Bernard: "Mr. Laurence, I know that once this matter is revealed, you will surely use audio and video evidence to help Mr. Webb clear his name. But my professional career will undoubtedly be ruined. I am willing to take the risk and tell you the truth, but you must find a way to keep me out of it."

He needed at least to protect his identity from the outside world, so that even if he couldn't continue working in his home country, there might still be a way forward abroad.

Jess deeply regretted accepting money from Yeager, but it was the desperation for money that led him to engage in actions that violated medical ethics. However, since the deed was done, he now had to find an exit strategy as soon as possible. As for Yeager, he was struggling to protect himself and had little concern for others.

Seeing Jess propose this condition, Yeager clenched his fists and glared at him. However, Jess didn't even look at Yeager, focusing solely on Bernard.

"Mr. Laurence, do you accept this condition?" Jess asked Bernard.

The corners of Bernard's mouth curled up slightly. "You are the first person to negotiate with me," he remarked.

Jess was taken aback by his response, thinking Bernard would reject his offer, but he saw him nod.

"Deal."

Only then did Jess breathe a sigh of relief and detailed how Yeager bribed him and taught him how to write the report.

With Jess's confession, all they need was to pry the reason why Yeager concealed the patient's condition from his mouth.

Bernard retreated back to the couch, propped up his long legs lazily, and looked at Yeager who was pinned to the ground.

"Jess not only spilled the beans, but also provided the transfer records as evidence. If you still won’t admit your guilt, it's all for nothing."

"Then take Jess's accusations against me to court."

In any case, the body had already been cremated, and as for the autopsy report conducted by Hadley, it was merely a lie concocted by Liana to deceive Jess. Yeager refused to believe that by steadfastly denying the accusations, he could easily be brought down based solely on Jess's claims. However, it was evident that Bernard had no intention of resorting to legal procedures.
