My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1069

"Don't accuse me of not giving you the chance to make that call. I'll count down from ten. If you don't tell me, I will put it away and you'll never get another chance to do so."

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." Jared gave his bodyguard a nod, and the latter walked over and snatched his phone back.

"If you don't want to call the police, then at least tell me who sent you." Jared said, his expression so piercing that he looked as if he could singe the man with his gaze.

"I'm really a doctor. Why won't you believe me?" Conrad sputtered, still unwilling to tell Jared the truth.

"You are still tight-lipped, eh?" Jared said. "Alright, which department are working in?"

"I-I am a surgeon." Conrad fumbled after a moment of hesitation.

Even if what he said was true, there would still be no legitimate reason for him to enter Mr. Johnston Sr.'s ward.

"You're lying through your teeth," Jared retorted. "You've never been a surgeon. You're just trying to weasel out of it. Let me remind you that the person who hired you to do this has already known that you've been caught. He's likely thinking of ways to cover the trail by killing you already. Yet, here you are, trying not to expose them. Think about yourself. Is this worth it?"

Conrad's eye twitched upon hearing Jared's words. 'Is it true, that they will kill me like he said?'

At this juncture, Conrad was already having second thoughts about whether he should keep the identity of his contractors concealed.

Jared proceeded to bait him by saying, "Have you thought about your answer? If you have any concerns, just tell me. I will do my level best to ensure your safety, but first, you'll have to tell me the truth."

Conrad's eyes rolled and cold sweat began trickling down his forehead. It was a tough decision to make, but after some hesitation, he looked up at Jared. He was about to speak when the door to the security room was thrown open, and in came Henry. His eyes ranged over Conrad, who was squatting on the floor, and met Jared. As soon as he saw the both of them, he began feigning surprise.
