    Chapter 519


    When Yves spoke to him, his tone was cold. “You can refuse. Nobody’s forcing you


    Sean felt a surge of frustration in his heart,


    He was sorely tempted to fling the paper and pen in Yves‘ face and assertively dere, I refuse.


    However, he understood the consequences of such rash actions; if Joshua were to suffer any harm, all


    the effort he had put into his transaction would be


    vain


    It was not an option


    “Could you possibly reduce the amount?” He began to negotiate with him, his tone unusually civil. “One


    billion in other currencies?”


    With a swift motion, Yves snatched the paper from his hand.


    He sauntered awayzily, evidently uninterested in continuing the conversation.


    “I’ll sign!” Sean found himselfered.


    “Ten seconds left. It’s void if you ran overtime.” Yves handed back the paper, still half–asleep.


    Sean seethed internally


    One day, he vowed, he would make this guy cough up everything he had swallowed.


    His signature found its ce on the document amidst an array of grievances and emotions. To ensure


    that he would not back out, Yves handed him a small box of seal paste. “Press your fingerprint on


    here.”


    “I’m not going to renege.”


    “Three seconds.”


    Sean sighed in exasperation. He had not been this emotional in a year.


    Reluctantly, he pressed his fingerprint into the seal paste, resolving to recoup this lost money from


    Joshua.

    “Don’t you know what kind of person I am? Sean handed over the signed and fingerprinted paper. His


    voice tinged with emotion. “When have I ever failed to fulfill a promise?”


    Yves barely nced at it before stating, “I don’t trust you.


    Sean groaned inwardly.


    “The patient you’re here to save is inside, and he’s in a serious condition. Follow me,” Sean informed


    him.


    “Hold on,” Yves responded nonchntly.


    Sean’s brows furrowed. What was he nning now?


    Yves did not reply, instead holding up the paper and waving it toward the outside.


    Following his gaze, Sean looked outside.


    Just as he was wondering who could possiblymand such treatment from Yves, he spotted Cynthia


    alighting from the driver’s seat. Her demeanor was not much different from before.


    Sean looked at Yves. “Cynthia? Why did you bring her here?”


    Yves ignored him, expressing a clear disdain for wasting time with unnecessary words and went out to


    Cynthia


    Cynthia nced at the paper in his hand, then swept a quick look at Sean’s face, which had resumed


    its usualposure. She asked, “Did you sign?”


    “I did.” Yves passed the paper to her. “Keep it safe.”

    Cynthia took it gave it a quick once–over to ensure there were no mistakes, then stowed it away.


    This sequence of actions puzzled Sean. He cast Yves a questioning nce. “Are you two…working


    together?”


    Again, Yves paid him no mind.


    He headed inside without a word, cutting straight to the chase. “Where’s the patient?”


    “Are you working with Cynthia? Sean persisted.


    Yves’s response was indifferent. Despite his seemingly nonchnt demeanor, he was all business.


    “Are we treating the patient or not?”


    Thatment brought Sean back to reality.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    He swallowed hard, his gaze flickering between Yves and Cynthia, Eventually, he managed, “Follow


    me.”


    Yves, fully prepped and parbed in scrubs, went to the operating room under Sean’s guidance.
