Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me
Instinctively, they turned toward the source of the voice.
They caught sight of Arielle standing in the corner. Her pale and porcelain skin seemed to glow under
the light. As a light gust swept across the room, her long hair danced in the breeze, making the woman
appear as pretty as a picture.
The couple was dumbstruck. They had never laid eyes on such a gorgeous woman before.
On the other hand, Jennie recognized her instantly. “Arielle!” she exclaimed.
Arielle stepped forward and turned to Cornelius. “Dr. Mill, will it be all right if I take a look at the
patient?”
For a moment, Cornelius was puzzled by Arielle’s question. However, his eyes widened in shock when
realization dawned upon him.
“Y-You were the one who wrote the prescription?” Cornelius gasped.
“It looks like fate has brought us together,” Arielle replied with a nod.
Arielle was impressed by Cornelius’ character and wanted to offer her assistance.
Besides, how can I turn a blind eye when there‘s a patient in need of medical help right in front of me?
Cornelius’ startled gaze turned into one of admiration and respect.
He couldn’t believe that a young woman like Arielle had such adept mastery of traditional Chanaean
medicine. Is she an ancient Chanaean doctor too?
Traditional and ancient Chanaean medicine were two different medical fields with stark differences. In
comparison to a traditional Chanaean doctor, an ancient Chanaean medical professional was much
more knowledgeable.
“Please go ahead. I’ll be entrusting Jennie to you.” Cornelius beckoned toward Jennie as he stepped
aside to make room for Arielle.
“I’ll try my best.” Arielle made her way in front of Jennie. “Your name is Jennie, right? Can you tell me if
you went out within these two days? Did you have any guests over?” Arielle asked.
Immediately, Jennie shook her head.
However, Arielle’s keen senses noticed that the girl avoided her gaze.
Not only was Arielle skilled in ancient Chanaean medicine, but she also knew how to observe facial
expressions. Promptly, Arielle deduced that the girl was lying.
Before Arielle could ask her another question, Jennie’s allergy reaction began to act up again.
This time, Jennie’s condition seemed to have worsened. White foam gurgled out of her mouth as she
had greater difficulty breathing.
“Turn her body to the side! Dr. Mill, please give her another one of your pills,” Arielle instructed.
“I’m on it.” Cornelius rushed off to do Arielle’s bidding.
After Cornelius fed Jennie another soothing pill to stop her convulsions, Arielle took out the silver plated
needles that she always carried on her. Quickly, Arielle inserted them into Jennie’s acupuncture points.
It took half an hour before Jennie finally woke up again.
While Jennie was still unconscious, Arielle searched Jennie’s body thoroughly. Yet, she did not
discover any tick bites or scars.
“Since she just underwent a heart transplant, maybe her immune system is rejecting the foreign tissue,”
Cornelius suggested.
Arielle shook her head. “Patients suffering from a transplant rejection don’t have these symptoms. The
timing of her condition does not add up too. I still suspect that it’s a tick paralysis.”
“Jennie, I’m sure you must have felt uncomfortable earlier. If we don’t find the cause of your symptoms,
the next wave will be much more severe than the last. Your body might not be able to handle it. You
need to tell me the truth. Have you been going outside?” Arielle asked solemnly.
Jennie’s face paled when she caught sight of Arielle’s grim expression. Her nervous gaze darted
toward Cornelius.
Cornelius seemed confused. “Jennie, is there something that you can’t tell us?”
“Jennie, please tell the doctors the truth! Did you go out while we were working?” her parents begged.
Jennie closed her eyes in defeat. “I didn’t go out” she mumbled.
“However, someone came over,” Jennie continued before Arielle could say anything.
“Who was it?” Cornelius asked.
“Francis.”
“My brother?” Cornelius exclaimed in shock.
“Yes.” Tears began to stream down Jennie’s cheeks. “Dr. Mill, I’m so sorry. I-I’m in a relationship with
your brother.”
