Chapter 665 Think Before You Speak

The reporters below the stage were equally perplexed.

“Dr. Shaw, could you respond to this directly?”

“Dr. Shaw, we hope you can address this matter…”

Cherise pursed her lips and looked at Gwenn. “So, what exactly is the point you’re trying to make by bringing up all

these issues?”

“I only want to confirm something.” Gwenn smiled faintly. “Dr. Shaw, are you genuinely injured and unable to

perform surgery? Or do you lack the mental fortitude to conduct surgery yourself? Perhaps you lacked confidence

in your medical skills and used Isaac as a scapegoat.

Her smile gradually turned into a sinister grin, and her eyes gleamed triumphantly. “Dr. Shaw, either way, it proves

you’re unqualified to be a doctor.”

“However, I wouldn’t dare to speculate about a doctor’s character recklessly, so I hope you can respond directly.”

“If your hand is indeed injured, and you’re unable to perform surgery, what type of injury was it, where did you get

injured, and how did it happen?”

“If your hand is not injured, and you just found an excuse to avoid entering the operating

room…”

Before Gwenn could finish speaking, a reporter below the stage interjected agitatedly, “If she’s just making excuses

to avoid performing surgery herself and let Dr. Roebuck bear the risk! Then she is unfit to be a doctor!”

“Lermille Hospital should kick her out!”

Cherise sat on the stage and looked into Gwenn’s triumphant eyes. Her mind buzzed with thoughts.

My hand… was indeed injured and prevented me from performing surgery.

But… it wasn’t due to the knife wound I sustained five years ago.

It was a burn… from three years ago.

She closed her eyes, finally grasping Gwenn’s motive.

Gwenn was forcing Cherise to choose between her identity as the daughter of the Lunner and

12

Miles family and her cherished profession as a doctor.

If she admitted she was not injured but was simply reluctant to perform surgery or that she made Isaac take the

risk for her, then her career as a doctor would likely be over.

But if she publicly disclosed the reason for her injury three years ago…

Not only would the Miles family be disappointed in her, but even her grandfather and father would be.

She would become a laughingstock.

Even if they would not disown her, they would never be as close as before.

Cherise reopened her eyes and saw two foreign men beside Gwenn. They had readied their cameras to capture her

reaction.

“Dr. Shaw.” Gwenn was still smiling. Her voice oozed triumph. “We are journalists from Europe. Anything you say

will be watched worldwide once we broadcast it. You better think carefully before you speak.”

Cherise’s face instantly turned pale.

Damien frowned and looked at Cherise with a conflicted gaze.

He was also curious about what had happened to her.

In his view, everything would be resolved once she explained how her hand was injured. But what nobody expected

was…

Cherise took a deep breath, looked up, and smiled at Gwenn. “Sis, I had trauma due to my mother’s death from

heart disease and couldn’t bring myself to perform surgery. Didn’t you already know this? Why must you expose

me before so many people?”

‘Clap! A phone clattered to the ground.

Not only the journalists but even Dr. Keeples was taken aback. His eyes were wide open with

shock.

What’s going on?

This journalist named Gwenn, who published the defamatory article about Dr. Shaw online, is actually… Dr. Shaw’s

sister!?
