Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 680

**TITLE: The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 680**
**Chapter 680 Lilian’s Investigation**

Jerome cast a sharp glance at Lilian, his annoyance palpable. “Yes, I am indeed the attending physician for Natalie. May I inquire what this young lady wishes to discuss with me?” His tone was clipped, as if he were already weary of the conversation before it had even begun.

Lilian met his gaze, her expression composed yet curious. “Oh, it’s nothing too significant. I simply heard that Dr. Jerome possesses quite the reputation for his medical expertise throughout Solara. I thought it would be enlightening to see for myself. After all, I am a medical student as well, and I have a deep admiration for those who excel in their field.” Her voice was steady, but there was an undercurrent of determination that hinted at her true intentions.

Jerome’s demeanor shifted slightly, a smirk creeping onto his face. “So, that’s the crux of it. In that case, I must say your associates have displayed a rather arrogant attitude. They dragged me out of the hospital without so much as a word of courtesy. If this information were to leak, it would tarnish my reputation. I am a well-respected figure in Solara, after all.” He leaned back slightly, as if to emphasize his status.

Lilian offered a faint smile, her eyes narrowing slightly. “I do apologize for that. They can be a bit rough around the edges. Rest assured, I will make amends for any potential damage to your reputation later on. However, I invited you here today with a specific purpose in mind. I have one pressing question that I hope Dr. Jerome can clarify for me: What ailment does Natalie have that necessitates treatment with sodium nitrite?” Her voice was calm, yet there was an unmistakable edge to her inquiry.

The change in Jerome’s expression was instantaneous. His composure faltered, and he replied with a forced calmness, “The young lady should refrain from speaking nonsense. It is common knowledge that sodium nitrite is extremely toxic. Why on earth would I prescribe that to her?” His words dripped with disbelief, but Lilian could see the cracks forming in his facade.

Lilian’s lips curled into a knowing sneer. “Is that so? How curious. Just moments ago, when I took Natalie’s pulse, it was clear she exhibited signs of poisoning—signs that have persisted for quite some time—at least three months, if not longer. Dr. Jerome, you’re hailed as a prominent doctor in Solara. How could you possibly overlook something so critical?” Her voice held a challenge, daring him to refute her claims.

Theo, standing nearby, was visibly taken aback. “What did you just say? Natalie is suffering from poisoning?” His voice was tinged with disbelief, and he exchanged incredulous glances with Carson, who looked equally skeptical.

Spring, anxious and uncertain, tugged nervously at Ginnie’s sleeve, seeking reassurance. Ginnie, however, simply patted her hand gently, her expression a mix of concern and support.

Theo’s gaze shifted to his daughter, who lay fragile and vulnerable on the bed, and he sighed deeply. “This isn’t your fault at all. It’s entirely my responsibility. Everything that has happened is my doing.” His voice was laden with regret, the burden of his choices weighing heavily on him.

Lilian surveyed the group, her expression resolute. “Let’s refrain from placing blame until we have all the facts laid out before us. Since Dr. Jerome is so adamant that I’m speaking nonsense, let’s bring in a specialized testing agency to analyze Natalie’s blood. We will ascertain whether sodium nitrite is present in her system.”

With a sense of purpose, she turned to Unno. “Contact all the testing agencies in Solara. We’ll conduct tests one after another, just to ensure that Dr. Jerome can’t dismiss any results as inaccurate. And while you’re at it, make sure to bring in the head of Solara Hospital—Dr. Jerome’s superior. I doubt he would question the authority of his own boss.”

Unno nodded, understanding the gravity of her request. “Yes, I’ll take care of it.” With that, he stepped out, leaving the tension in the room to simmer as they awaited the truth to unfold.
