The doctor’s eyes widened in bewilderment when he realized what the young woman had achieved.

“How the heck did she do it? How did she find the cure? I don’t understand.” Zachary could not believe
that Arielle managed to find the cure on her own. She must’ve figured out the properties of the poison.
That’s how she found the proper treatment for it.
Arielle had put Zachary to utter shame since she was able to remedy a poison that even a doctor like
himself could not.
Seeing how devastated Zachary was, the attending physician decided to stop his fellow doctor’s
nonsense with a wave of his hand. “That’s enough, Dr. Ziegler. Let the patient rest. He has a press
conference to attend to later on.”
“A press conference? What press conference? Are you seriously going to let a person who almost died
walk around as if nothing happened?”
“He’s going to the press conference at Soir Coffee, so we’ll get a PCA pump ready for him. The
patient’s made up his mind.”
“Are you out of your mind?” exclaimed Zachary before turning to the patient. “Are you sure about this?
Do you know how serious this is? Your life is on the line here. Do you know that?”
For some reason, Zachary refused to let things go Arielle’s way.
Since he withdrew himself from the patient’s operation, Arielle would take all the credit if the press
conference were successfully held. There was no way a proud man like Zachary would ever let the
young woman steal the limelight from him.
The patient then sighed in response. “This is my choice, so I’ll take full responsibility for it. If I die, that’s
on
me.”
“This is insane! You’re all insane! I’m his surgeon, and I say he has to stay and rest right here!” shouted
Zachary with bloodshot eyes.
The attending physician scowled at the upset man and reminded sternly, “Dr. Ziegler, in case you’ve
forgotten, you are no longer his surgeon because you quit halfway without any regard for the patient’s
wellbeing. He is not under your care anymore.”
After that, the attending physician turned to the nurses in the emergency room. “Please escort Dr.
Ziegler out.”
It was made apparent who the helpful one was and who should remain in the room, so the attending
physician finally decided to send Zachary out.
“How dare you kick me out! Have you forgotten who I am? I’m the top surgeon at Rocher Private! Just
ask Mr. Nightshire and Mr. Morgan.”
The attending physician unceremoniously gestured for the nurses to get a move on. “Why is Dr. Ziegler
still here? Do you want him to continue disturbing our
patient?”
With that, the nurses in the room hurriedly worked together and removed Zachary.
That was the third time the doctor was sent out of the emergency room, but the others made sure that it
would also be the last.
“Open this door now! Do you hear me? Open it now!” Zachary pounded on the door furiously before
security at the hospital took him away for good and restored peace to the emergency room.
Meanwhile, Vinson received a call from Carter while he was on his way to the press conference.
“How is he?” inquired the man as soon as he answered his phone.
“He’s fine. Chief is asking you to buy them some time at the press conference. She said the patient will
be there as soon as they’re done with the injection.”
Even though Vinson did not doubt that Arielle could save the patient, he was still stunned for two
seconds when he heard the news. After getting poisoned and undergoing such a major operation, the
patient is still able to attend the conference with just some pain medication? You’re full of surprises,
aren’t you, Arielle?
Only after a few seconds of silence did the man finally continue, “Is she with you?”
“Yes.”
“Put her on.”
