Arielle nodded and said, “This is enough. Rest up for now. I’ll bring you to the press conference later.”
She then told the attending doctor to put up a drip that would replenish his energy and reminded the
other doctors to prepare a wheelchair for the patient. Once she was done, the woman kicked the switch
that controlled the door to the emergency room and strode out.
The patient’s eyes subconsciously flitted toward Arielle. The woman seemed to shine with every step
she took.
She seemed like she was able to sweep people off their feet.
At that, he looked away.
The attending doctor began explaining the pacemaker in his body, and reminded, “You mustn’t perform
any extreme sports from now on. Remember to return to the hospital every year to check up on the
pacemaker’s condition.”
“I understand.” The patient closed his eyes remorsefully.
Previously, his brother had told him that there would only be symptoms of allergies for a short period of
time when the poison took effect. Yet, he could clearly feel that he had just escaped death.
True enough. I shouldn’t have tried to earn money through evil deeds. I shouldn’t have listened to my
brother.
Outside the emergency room.
Carter instantly walked up to Arielle the moment he saw her. “How’s everything inside?”
Zachary also stood still and was a little excited and emotional.
He’s dead!
The patient must be dead!
However, Arielle answered calmly, “The patient’s doing fine now.”
ST
Zachary replied immediately after, “I knew he would die. I knew that- Wait. What did you just say?”
He was stunned and couldn’t help but think that he had heard her wrong.
Not batting him an eye, Arielle turned to Carter and said, “Send me two of your men. I already found
out what happened. We need to look for his brother now.”
The latter nodded instantly, “I’ll go with you.”
Before Vinson left earlier, he had sent someone to let Arielle in on the overall situation, so both of them
were on the same page.
The woman asked as they walked, “How long more until the press conference starts?”
“An hour. Can the patient go?”
“Tell Vinson to hold it off a little longer. We’ll bring him there after he’s done with his drip. I don’t want
any accidents happening.’
“Sure.”
Zachary was ignored completely.
He stared blankly as the both of them left, before rushing into the emergency room.
He managed to get in just as the doors were about to shut.
“Where is he? Is he really alive?”
Zachary’s sudden appearance shocked the entire room of people.
The attending doctor was the first to snap back to his senses. “Why are you shouting in such a place?”
he scolded.
But Zachary couldn’t care less about the doctor. He quickly went over to the patient instead.
To his disbelief, the patient was staring back at him with widened eyes. Shock was written all over his
face, obviously surprised that the doctor had barged in suddenly.
After making sure that the young man was indeed still alive, he leaned closer and asked, “How do you
feel right now?”
The latter spoke after a moment, “Besides not having any strength, I don’t feel anything else.”
The anesthetics hadn’t worn off completely, so he wasn’t able to feel the pain from the surgery.
“What about the feeling when you were first sent to the hospital?”
The attending doctor walked up to them and said, “Ms. Moore has already detoxified his body.”
“That’s impossible. How can someone like her treat a patient affected by a poison that we don’t even
know the name of?”
The former instantly handed Zachary the latest copy of the blood results.
With a swoosh, he snatched it over and saw that the numbers were all in the normal range. His eyes
widened instantly.
