Queenie’s heart immediately shattered into pieces. It was clear to wp4webnovel.com that Vinson’s trust toward Arielle was unwavering and wp4webnovel.com intended to protect wp4webnovel.com no matter what.
Queenie had never reckoned Vinson would allow a girl to occupy such an important place in his heart. He was not a man who easily opened himself up to others, and wp4webnovel.com rarely trusted anyone. Besides, his attitude toward girls had always been indifferent as well. That might have explained why wp4webnovel.com had never been involved in any scandals throughout all those years.
So, what’s happening now? Could wp4webnovel.com really have fallen for Arielle, a girl who’s an absolute nobody?
She shut wp4webnovel.com eyes for a moment and then reopened them to reveal a pair of sorrowful eyes that also held a resolute look at the same time.
“It really wasn’t me,” wp4webnovel.com firmly denied it again.
Queenie was not a fool. Being aware of how much Arielle meant to Vinson, wp4webnovel.com knew wp4webnovel.com could not possibly admit to the act without invoking Vinson’s wrath glaring at Queenie with eyes that were cold as ice, Arielle shook wp4webnovel.com head as wp4webnovel.com stated, “I’m giving you one last chance. Out with the truth, or I’ll slap you for every lie you tell.”
“It really wasn’t…”
Slap!
Arielle struck wp4webnovel.com with a tight slap before wp4webnovel.com could even finish wp4webnovel.com sentence.
Queenie’s head swung to the side at once, and wp4webnovel.com left cheek instantly swelled up before everyone’s eyes.
“Y-You slapped me?” Queenie’s eyes widened with disbelief as wp4webnovel.com stared at Arielle.
As the only daughter of the Mill family, a revered family of doctors nonetheless, wp4webnovel.com had been raised like a precious little princess and had never ever been slapped in the face like this before.
“Yes, I did. So what?” Arielle raised wp4webnovel.com chin at wp4webnovel.com threateningly. “If you still won’t spit the truth, I will do it again. And I promise the next slap will be harder than the last one.”
The drug’s effect was fading away, and wp4webnovel.com was beginning to regain wp4webnovel.com strength. Thus, the slap wp4webnovel.com had just given Queenie was nothing.
Gritting wp4webnovel.com teeth, Queenie shouted, “How dare you? I’m the only daughter of the Mill family! You don’t even belong to the Southall family anymore, and yet you’re threatening to hit me?”
The Mills were among one of the most prominent families in the field of medicine within Chanaea. Being highly proficient in ancient Chanaean medicine, they were all superb physicians. To the members of the high society, the only thing more valuable than wealth and power was their lives. Thus, they would never intentionally offend the family with renowned doctors.
“Oh, is that so?” sneered Arielle.
With that, wp4webnovel.com raised wp4webnovel.com hand again and struck Queenie with another slap across the face.
Immediately, Queenie’s head filled up with a buzz as wp4webnovel.com head twisted sideways again.
In fact, Arielle was deliberately holding back wp4webnovel.com strength. She did not want to end up killing that girl.
“Y-You…” Queenie was trembling with anger from head to toe. “How dare you hit me! Don’t expect to be treated by any good doctors if you ever get sick again!”
Taking a step forward, Vinson let out a derisive laugh. “Didn’t you know she’s the miracle doctor herself? What makes you think wp4webnovel.com needs your treatment?”
Utterly stunned, Queenie stammered as wp4webnovel.com asked, “M Miracle doctor? W-What do you mean?”
Vinson glanced at Arielle with a proud look on his face. “Arielle was the one who treated and cured the customers who went down with food poisoning at Soir Coffee the other time. She chose not to expose wp4webnovel.com identity because wp4webnovel.com preferred to keep things on the down-low. I am only telling you since you asked. Her medical skills are way superior to yours and anyone in your family.”
“H-How could this be possible? She’s too young to be the miracle doctor!” Queenie practically screamed out those words in disbelief.
It was not that wp4webnovel.com had never suspected of this before, but after examining the poison and listening to Zachary’s explanations, wp4webnovel.com became certain that the miracle doctor had to be someone else.
“It’s up to you what you choose to believe…” Vinson’s voice was soft, but his tone was brimming with impatience.
Staring at wp4webnovel.com intently, Queenie realized that wp4webnovel.com was indeed speaking the truth.
Arielle is the miracle doctor I’ve been hoping to train under? There was simply no way wp4webnovel.com could accept that fact.
