Chapter 1455 Meet You In Private
“Don’t worry. I will!” Wilbur replied.
Hence, Wilbur passed Evan and Nicole’s tests and earned the right to date Maya.
Nonetheless, Wilbur was in no rush to win Maya over. He was the sensible type when it came to romantic relationships. He felt that it would be better to get to know each other while working together and make sure they were compatible before making the next move.
Meanwhile, Nina had just received an update regarding the doctor who had operated on Stephen. She was itching to find out who it was.
“His name is Jasper Hathaway. I’ve done a thorough background check on him and will send you the information shortly.”
“Okay,” Nina replied.
Soon, she received a detailed report about Jasper. It included his medical experience, everything that happened back when he was studying, his address, what his family was like, and even his phone number.
Nina sat in silence for a while, then dialed the number.
Someone answered the call and said, “Hello. May I know who’s on the line?”
“Is this Dr. Hathaway? I have a few questions I’d like to ask you personally. Could I meet you in private?” Nina asked.
“You may come to the hospital.”
“It’s not convenient for me to go to the hospital. I’ll wait for you at the café next to the hospital. Please meet me there. I’ll wait for you for as long as it takes.”
Having said that, Nina ended the call.
Chalking up the sudden phone call as just a strange occurrence, Jasper quickly forgot about it and went about his work, attending to his patients.
Just as he was packing up to leave for the day, he received another phone call from Nina.
He could tell from her voice that she was a young lady. Why would she hang around at the café for so long waiting for me? Could it be something important?
Out of curiosity, he decided to go over to the café.
The sight of Nina caught him by surprise. As a beloved daughter of the Seet family and a prominent figure in the beauty world, she had appeared on the covers of numerous magazines and trending topics. Therefore, he remembered seeing pictures of her.
“Aren’t you the daughter of the Seet Group’s president?”
“I’m Nina. I’m so glad you took the time to meet me. Please have a seat.”
Jasper sat down, feeling even more confused.
“May I know why you wanted to see me? Do you have something to tell me?”
Nina did not waste any time beating around the bush. She cut to the chase and said, “I’d like to know more about Stephen’s heart transplant.
Her answer took Jasper aback. After pondering for a moment, he replied, “I have to respect patient confidentiality, so I can’t disclose any information.”
Nina gazed at him up and down. Well, well. He’s quite a stickler for professional ethics, isn’t he? However, I’ve taken a look at his background. There’s something I can use against him to find out what I want to know. Hmm, I suppose there’s no way around it. I’ll have to threaten him.
“Dr. Hathaway, you’re known for your outstanding talent within the medical field. Many people in the industry look up to you as a role model for your expertise and ethics,” Nina began.
“You’re too kind. Your mother is the true role model as she goes to great lengths to save lives.”
“Oh, don’t be in a hurry to feign modesty. I haven’t finished yet. You may be a role model within the industry, but…”
Nina paused mid-sentence, and Jasper had a bad feeling about it. He knew that what came after the “but” was her main point.
He gazed at her solemnly, waiting for her to continue.
“But I’m sure you wouldn’t want the past mistakes you made for the sake of money to ruin your good image and bright future, would you?”
Jasper was dumbfounded. Although Nina did not elaborate further, he could read between the lines perfectly.
It was true that he had made a mistake in the past because he desperately needed money. Not only was it something that went against the hospital’s rules and could get him terminated, but he could also end up getting sued.
