The Runaway Groom Chapter 834

Neil’s lawyer certainly questioned that statement. “That’s merely an excuse. Are you saying that the patient would

have died if the surgery was not performed?”

Irene’s lawyer in turn provided everything from physical evidence to material witness.

Ray Hall, one of the doctors in charge during the surgery, was willing to testify for Irene as well—that Dennis would

have died if not for the surgery!

Even the initial diagnosis, the surgical process, and Dennis’s medical history pointed to that.

“You may consult other specialists for a third-party opinion with these data to verify if Dennis Turner had faced

mortality. But one way or another, it is clear that without said surgery, Mr. Turner would be dead.”

Neil whispered something into his lawyer’s ear then and the lawyer nodded before saying, “That may be the case,

but was the surgery performed in adherence to regulations?”

The plaintiff had no comeback with the defendants’ evidence and testimonies, so they could only repeatedly insist

that Irene had broken regulations!

They were ignoring the outcome and kept coming after Irene, because Neil had messed up—he never tried to find

out what happened.

All he knew was that Irene had decided to perform the surgery on her own and he vented his frustration on her.

But following her lawyer’s dissection of the incident, Neil knew very well that his father would be dead instead of

just being unconscious.

Even so, he refused to withdraw the lawsuit because he felt aggrieved and did not want to take this lying down.

He was the victim, but ended up beaten up by Irene’s bodyguard!

Irene had no right, and he would see this lawsuit through to the end!

On the other hand, Irene did break regulations despite his intentions, and the court case entered a stalemate.

The court soon announced that they were adjourned for the day, to be resumed a week later!

Finn Crowe said, “If they still won’t give in, I’ll ask everyone from Hotmesh Research to come and prove it to you.”

Irene shook her head. “It won’t work.”

The plaintiff only cared that she had broken regulations, not that she had saved Dennis!

And Irene could not argue against that.

“Let’s go,” she said, getting in her car.

“You should go on ahead, ma’am,” her lawyer told her, and was not leaving with her.

Irene wound down the window to look at him and nodded. “Sure.”

“I’ll gather further evidence,” he assured her.

“Thank you. Sorry for the trouble. You should leave soon.”

“Of course, ma’am,” the lawyer replied.

However, he remained at the front gates of the courthouse after Irene left, until a luxurious black sedan made its

way toward him.

Isaac alighted and asked, “How did it go?”

“The plaintiff is clearly after your wife, Mr. Jefferson,” the lawyer answered. “He’s adamant that she broke

regulations, and it’s obvious that he’s angry. It might be out of spite.”

Isaac mused to himself for a moment before asking, “Would money settle it?”

“He’s not after money,” the lawyer said, shaking his head.

“Yeah,” Isaac narrowed his eyes. “When would the court case resume?”

“In a week.”

“I see.” Isaac said. “You may go now.”

Certain people were simply unreasonable, which was why they needed unreasonable measures to resolve the

issue.

…

Neil had a long talk with his lawyer before leaving, and he then drove straight for the hospital to visit his father.

On his way home, however, he ran into somebody in his car!

Stan Hill certainly did not expect to arrange something so rotten as soon as he transferred back to the country.

Did he not at least deserve a party celebrating his return, or at least a nice dinner?!

He was immediately sent here to stage an accident instead!

Thank goodness that the driver was sharp and managed to jam his foot on the brakes, so he was only knocked off

his feet.

If the driver had reacted too slowly, he might be dead!

Still, he lay still on the road—it was the first time he was staging an accident and he had to play the part.

“Ouch, it hurts everywhere, my leg, I can’t get up…” he chanted, having learned it from TV.

Neil soon alighted and when he saw that Stan was not at all hurt, said, “Here—it’s 200 bucks. You’re not that hurt,

so let’s just settle it now.”

“What do you mean I’m not hurt?! My legs, my hip, my eyes, even my mouth hurts! It hurts everywhere, and I can’t

even stand it!” Stan cried, refusing to even stand.

Neil frowned and growled unhappily, “You’re faking it, aren’t you?”
