Chapter 490: Why did he lie

Startled for a moment, Tristan quickly forced an assuring smile, declining her concerns.

"Nothing Mom. I just want to discuss a few things with him, but this boy... he doesn’t seem to find his presence at home" Faking an angry look Tristan watched her return the smile.

Satisfied with her reaction, Tristan then walked away with the phone clinging next to his ear as the ring went but never answered.

When Tristan failed to reach Gavin, he dropped the idea and headed to the company instead, hoping to confront him once he was back.

Ashely’s words had been struck in his mind and he was determined to confront him for lying.

Meanwhile, Gavin reached the hospital, parking his car at a distance from the gates, as this time he decided to stay undercover.

The purpose behind the secrecy was to stalk Martin, the head doctor until he found any lead against him. But for that, he had to be careful keeping Bianca’s identity confidential.

Unaware that Bianca was the daughter of reputed General Austin Peterson, he had to seal this secret deep inside his heart without letting anyone learn about it.

With his eyes fixated ahead, Martin’s thoughts crossed his mind and his eyes turned grim.

The man was a cunning fox behind the sheep-like face. He was confident by now he must have warned his staff from disclosing anything that would cause the reputation of the hospital.

He remembered how he glared at Jenny when she decided to speak. His silent warning retreated her from doing so, but he was amused with her bravery of still secretly helping him.

"Should I call her instead" Suddenly this thought popped into his mind but then he realized he didn’t have her number, demolishing his wish in a second.

Gavin realized Jenny was of huge help and being in contact with her would help him track Martin more carefully.

Pondering on how he should get back to Jenny, a knock on the car’s window snapped him out and his head flung into the direction of the glass with his eyes growing wide instantly.

"Doctor Jenny!" he yelped watching the person he was just thinking about standing outside the car. With a swift move, he slid down the glass and peeked at the woman through the square frame, and asked," What are you doing here?"

There was a tinge of surprise in his tone while his eyes watched her confusingly.

Jenny on the other hand stepped out of her dorm building and was heading to the hospital when her eyes caught the sight of a familiar car.

Curious to know whether her assumption was right she immediately knocked on the window, after failing to look through the dark-coated glass and, it was then the window slid and Gavin’s face came into her view leaving her speechless.

Standing dumbfounded, Jenny gaped at Gavin in shock. It took her a moment to stabilize her thoughts before she smiled awkwardly waving her hand in return.

[Coffee Shop]

Awkwardly sitting in front of each other Gavin and Jenny remained lip-tied as they couldn’t bring themselves to start a conversation.

With the tip of her finger circling the edge of the coffee cup, Jenny glanced at Gavin only to find him looking back at her.

For a fleeting moment, their eyes met, but she immediately retreated.

Unable to handle the tension, Gavin finally decided to speak. "I was hoping to see you, again," he said grabbing her attention instantly.

Jenny blinked her eyes in confusion but soon composed herself. "Is there anything you wanted to know?" she asked understanding the meaning behind his words.

Gavin amusingly stared at Jenny with no intention of looking away. The girl in front of him wasn’t as docile as she appeared to be. Knowing how her job would get threatened she still decided to go against her senior, ready to help him with whatever he was looking for.

Surprised by her quick-witted response, Gavin didn’t beat around the bush and came straight to the point.

Expressing everything, he waited for Jenny’s response.

Gavin knew he was asking too much, but after much thought, he concluded that Jenny was not only the doctor working in the Fortis Plus but was also Bianca’s friend and none other than her would be trustworthy enough to help him.

Jenny remained tongue-tied for some time while her mind tried to process through his words. It had not been a secret that both Bianca and Jenny started finding Doctor Martin’s behavior suspicious.

That man did not like how he appeared, and both Bianca and Jenny knew how twisted he was from the inside.

He was a greedy bastard who made his juniors work their ass hard, gaining all the praise all by himself.

To maintain his reputation, he even pressured Bianca to take patients who weren’t on her list, making her work harder.

Having the urge to expose all his wrongdoings, Jenny finally concluded.

"I will help you," she said.

If she was able to find her friend, and if their suspicions about Doctor Martin turned right, then she was ready to go to any extent just to expose him.

Gavin’s hopeful eyes shined happily and his lips curled into a pleasing smile, leaving Jenny dumbstruck.

For a moment she felt like her heart skipped a beat.

She remember being him serious the entire time and suddenly watching him smile in delight, bewitched her throughts.

She remembered the person sitting in front of her wasn’t an ordinary man. He was Gavin Knight the youngest hier of The Knight’s family.

No matter how much she tried to dodge this thought away, she couldn’t ignore the smile he just showered to her.

"By the way, how do you know Bianca" She asked changing the topic.

Jenny didn’t wanted to dwell over this fleeting emotions, knowing that she wasn’t someone who fell for a charming face.

She remembered him introducing as be friends, but as far she remember Bianca didn’t mention having a friend as such.

’Then why did he lie? ’
