<b>Chapter </b><b>98 </b>
This matter had weighed heavily on <b>Jessica’s </b>mind for <b>a </b>long time and she <b>didn’t </b>know when it would ever be <b>fully </b>investigated.
<b>She </b>knew <b>it </b>wasn’t something that could be done overnight, so she never pressured anyone.
“So you ced Chris in the Summit Infirmary because that hospital treated your father as an injured patient back then, but they insisted on issuing a certificate stating he died on the spot. You’ve always had doubts about that,<b>” </b>she said.
In <b>fact</b>, many things revolved around the people nearby.
Jessica wasn’t a fool.
But Michael treated her like an ordinary woman, always thinking he could keep things from her.
So she had to make Michael understand that the person he was facing was never ordinary.
As the heiress of the Wilder family, Jessica had never been underestimated.
“The investigation still needs to proceed slowly. Don’t be too anxious. Now that Chris has be the honorary chairman, cing him in that position is also for the convenience of thoroughly investigating these matters<b>. </b>Have you already told Chris about this?”
Jessica shook her head.
She was still hesitant about whether to drag Chris into this mess.
Earlier, Roy had said that Chris was never a weak man.
She shouldn’t treat him like a pushover or hide him behind her.
That so–called protection was just a shackle.
After a while, Jessica’s phone vibrated.
She looked down and sure enough, it was a message from Chris.
She smiled softly, then said, “But I think I know how to face all of this now.”
Chris still had many things to handle at the hospital.
He only left after finishing all the tasks and didn’t eat dinner with Jessica that night.
Instead, he dined with several hospital senior executives.
These kinds of social interactions didn’t require Chris before<b>, </b>but now things were different.
“Ben’s temper just isn’t suitable for being director. Before, when you wanted to promote him, I didn’t say anything. How’s it now? Fortunately, Ms. Wilder didn’t pursue the matter,” the elder professor said to another director.
That person took a sip of wine and sighed.
“There’s no way around it. Ben is an old hand at the hospital. You know our hospital. After so many incidents before, having one veteran isn’t easy. We have to rely on Ben.”
Ben’s medical skills were average<b>, </b>so he rarely performed surgeries.
This time, the huge scandal was impossible for others to cover up.
“But Mr. Green<b>, </b>this matter originally had nothing to do with you. Ms. Wilder didn’t say anything to you about it tonight, did she?” the director asked, tilting his head.
Chris shook his head, saying no.
<b>Chapter </b><b>98 </b>
<b>When </b><b>he </b><b>returned </b><b>home </b>at night, Jessica was already resting<b>. </b>
She had <b>been </b><b>exhausted </b><btely</b><b>–</b>business trips and busy hospital matters wore her out.
<b>Chris </b><b>wanted </b><b>to </b>handle everything independently and resolve the <b>issues</b><b>, </b>but <b>as </b>the newly appointed chairman, he clearly wasn’t <b>as </b><b>capable </b><b>as </b><b>Mrs. </b>Wilder.
After taking a shower<b>, </b>he got into bed and gently held Jessica in his arms.
Jessica drowsily woke up and hugged Chris..
“Why <b>are you </b>only back now? What’s there to talk about with them?”
<b>“</b><b>They’re </b>all senior executives. You have to maintain rtionships sometimes. <b>If </b>you’re tired, just go to bed. Don’t <b>wait </b><b>up </b><b>for </b>me<b>,</b>” said Chris, holding her and kissing her softly.
Jessica had things on her mind and couldn’t fall asleep for a long time.
Just as she <b>was </b>about to drift off<b>, </b>Chris came back.
“I have something to tell you<b>.</b><b>” </b>Jessica tried to sit up, but Chris pressed her back down.
“Tell me when you wake up. Not now.”
Since that was the case<b>, </b>Jessica obediently fell asleep in Chris’s arms.
