"Are you sure, Dr. Cred that you don’t want to reconsider it?" Though Jason’s words came soft and polite, there was a subtle warning laced in his tone that was unmistakable. It was as if he was giving a chance to the old man to reconsider things well.
Dr. Cred didn’t miss that subtle hint. But he chose to take it seriously. Not because he wanted to offend Jason, but because he wanted to save the name of his hospital. He was serious when he said that he was the Dean and couldn’t put the hospital at risk by exposing the darkest past of the hospital’s history.
"Dr. Clark, sorry, but that’s the only thing I can’t help you with. Being the dean here, I can’t put my hospital at risk," Dr. Cred said.
Jason smiled, nodding. "I understand your helplessness, Dr. Cred," he said, but then interjected his words further. "But I think you misunderstood my intention over here."
As he said that, he pulled himself back to lean better on the chair, his legs elegantly crossed over the other, giving off the elegance for which he has been known for —always.
Dr. Cred paused at his words. Did he truly misunderstand his intentions? He tried to think back but couldn’t understand anything.
"Dr. Clark, what do you mean?" he asked somberly.
Jason smiled his way, but his smile no longer carried the hint of warmth or politeness that it had carried all this while. His gaze just held the arrogance that he rarely put on. "Dr. Cred, who do you think I am?"
"..." Dr. Cred opened his mouth to speak but then closed it feeling as if he might speak something unneeded. After all, wise people as always said, a closed mouth catches no flies.
Jason didn’t mind his silence. "I might be widely known by my profession, but that wouldn’t change the identity I have gotten from my family. I am the young master of the Clark family, the family of doctors, who has ruled the field of medical sciences for ages. Given our reputation and standing in society, did you really think I needed your permission or help to find out something that I wanted to know?"
As he said, realization dawned upon Dr. Cred. he couldn’t bring himself to refute it. After all, the Clark family’s influence was well known, not just domestically but also internationally.
The old man of the family was still Chairman, heading the Cralens Medical Association, while several other members of the family were also working together in the teams and the companies that could easily help the Clarks to monopolize the health sector of the country as long as they wanted to.
Given such prowess, Jason truly didn’t need his help to find out the secrets that were buried in the depths of hell. Everything will be out of his perusal just at a flick of his finger. He just had to put his word out and everything would be revealed.
