The living room fell quiet upon Joshua's words.
Rachel lifted her head unconsciously with a hint of disbelief in her eyes. "What are you trying to imply, Mr. Lynch?”
She lifted her brows as she added, "Are you underestimating me?"
Joshua looked at Rachel as he curled up his lips. "I have more faith with my mother-in-law, that's all. Dr. Liddell, I admit that you're a very accomplished doctor in your field, and I, on the other hand, have no medical knowledge.
"However, I believe that my mother-in-law didn't have a lapse of judgment in diagnosing Bonnie."
Joshua meant that Rachel was wrong since he was convinced that Rosalyn could not be wrong. However, Rachel was not someone who was willing to just accept and carry on when someone who had no medical knowledge like Joshua criticized her.
None had ever dared to say she made a mistake ever since she studied to become a doctor, and Joshua was the first ever. Her ego, thus, did not allow anyone to criticize her.
She sneered and snatched the document from Joshua. "If Mr. Lynch doesn't believe me, care to point out what mistake did I make? If you can't, I hope you'll apologize to me now. I may just be a run-on-the-mill doctor with no influence and power like you do, but I refuse to let anyone question my knowledge and ability in the medicinal
area."
Joshua squinted, his eyes seemingly gleaming cunningly. "But there is no reason for my mother-in-law to say that her future daughter-in-law is about to die, is there?"
He sighed. "Dr. Liddell, there's no need to get so worked up. I'm just telling you my query."
