Chapter 565

Lucas raised an eyebrow.

It was too much of a coincidence to run into the attending physician right after stepping out. If there was nothing shady going on, he certainly wouldn’t believe it.

Kenneth and Wendy exchanged glances. There were twists and turns in all of this. Without needing to say a word, they could figure it out. Everything pointed back to Tessa. That much, Kenneth could be certain of now.

Jackson looked at the doctors guarding the door, feeling somewhat embarrassed. “Miss Walton, you see, I really have no other choice. I came to check on the patient, and you’re stopping me from entering. What does this mean?”

Tessa also felt awkward and apologized on Lucas’ behalf. “I’m so sorry. My brother-in-law is just really anxious. He’s overly concerned about my sister’s health, that’s why he’s acting this way. Don’t worry, I’ll let you in now,” she said, adopting a commanding tone as she looked at the two doctors. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and let Dr. Watson in.”

The doctors, standing at the door, were confused and didn’t know how to proceed. They scratched their heads and finally glanced inside the room. They were just following orders, not making decisions on their own. It was all about getting things done with money. Now that so many people had entered, they felt they were not doing their job properly.

“Come in,” Lucas’ voice rang out.

Only then did Tessa feel a wave of relief. She had been worried about Lucas refusing. After all, she had already said so much. If she couldn’t let him in now, it would be so embarrassing. As soon as she had said it, she regretted it. But fortunately, Lucas gave her the courtesy.

Tessa smiled happily. “Lucas, I knew you’d understand. This has always been my sister’s primary doctor. He definitely understands more than these foreign doctors. Moreover, Dr. Watson has always taken care of my sister. If anything happens, he knows her health condition better than anyone.”

Lucas snorted coldly, saying nothing. Who he trusted wasn’t something Tessa’s few words could easily change. Allowing Jackson to come in was because he wanted to see what Tessa was really up to. And was this illness of Aurora’s actually related to Tessa? If he found out it was, he would not let her off easily. Even if she was Aurora’s older sister, it wouldn’t matter. She would face the consequences, just like anyone else!

Tessa looked at Lucas’ half-smiling, half-serious gaze, and for some reason, she felt uneasy. Had she, perhaps, provoked someone she shouldn’t have? Why couldn’t she read her brother-in-law at all?

Tessa thought to herself, “It’s fine, it’s already done.” And besides, no one had discovered anything all this time, right? With that, Tessa steeled her heart, convinced that what she had done wasn’t a problem. After all, how could a pretty boy like him compare to someone like Julian? It was just nonsense.

The foreign doctor hadn’t failed to understand what Tessa said. On the contrary, his English was quite good.
