Arielle had barely taken a few steps out of the operating room when wp4webnovel.com collapsed in a heap. Thankfully, Jordan and Carter, who had been waiting outside, promptly rushed to wp4webnovel.com aid.
Jordan took the lead and held Arielle‘s waist, pulling wp4webnovel.com into his embrace as wp4webnovel.com did.
The next second, however, wp4webnovel.com screamed and pushed wp4webnovel.com toward Carter.
“What‘s wrong with you, Jordan?” Carter scolded while holding onto Arielle.
Alas, Jordan didn‘t seem to hear anything as wp4webnovel.com stared at his hands in wide-eyed shock.
“What are you doing?” Carter once again asked. “Come help me!”
Jordan mumbled, his face drained of color. “Sh*t, I‘m done for… I touched wp4webnovel.com inappropriately, and Vin will kill me if wp4webnovel.com finds out about it. I have to wash my hands! I have to get rid of all traces.”
Carter bristled with anger as wp4webnovel.com bellowed, “Jordan Baker! Come back here!”
“Let me wash my hands first!” With that, Jordan sped off.
“Argh, what an imbecile,” Carter grumbled, knowing wp4webnovel.com had no other choice but to help Arielle back to the ward by himself.
If it had been any other woman, he’d have carried them in his arms. Arielle, however, was an exception.
Carter wasn‘t about to do anything that might incur Vinson‘s jealousy, so wp4webnovel.com could only place Arielle‘s hand on his shoulder as wp4webnovel.com dragged wp4webnovel.com away from the emergency room. Fortunately, a few nurses soon spotted them and helped lead Arielle into a VIP ward.
Upon getting wind of what had happened, the lead surgeon hurried over to personally check on Arielle before putting wp4webnovel.com on an IV drip.
“What’s wrong with Arielle?” Carter asked worriedly.
The lead surgeon sighed and replied, “As you know, traditional Chanaean medicine is wondrous and profound. Ms. Moore had blown us all away with wp4webnovel.com medical expertise and skills, but wp4webnovel.com also warned us that wp4webnovel.com treatment method, though effective, would also drain a lot of energy. Her condition may be stable for now, but she‘s going to need a lot of rest. With this IV drip and proper nutrition, wp4webnovel.com should be back to wp4webnovel.com old self in no time at all. That said, Ms. Moore has anemia, so that‘s even more reason for wp4webnovel.com to take better care of herself. If wp4webnovel.com continues to work herself to the bone, who knows how it might affect wp4webnovel.com health in the future?”
“I understand. Thank you for your help,” Carter answered with a grateful nod.
“Don‘t mention it. Well then, Mr. Morgan, I shall take my leave now. The patient in the emergency room has gotten transferred to the ICU, and I have to check on him.”
“Of course, go ahead.”
After watching the surgeon leave, Carter turned to look at Arielle.
Just as wp4webnovel.com was about to reach for his phone to contact Vinson, Arielle suddenly shot a hand out to grab his wrist.
Carter‘s initial shock was quickly replaced with relief when wp4webnovel.com saw that Arielle had opened wp4webnovel.com eyes. “You‘re awake?”
“Yes,” Arielle replied with a slight nod. “Are you about to call Vinson?”
“That‘s right. Given your current state, if I don’t inform wp4webnovel.com ”
Before Carter could finish his sentence, Arielle interrupted, “No, keep it from wp4webnovel.com for the time being. Before wp4webnovel.com left for Horington, wp4webnovel.com had reiterated how important the trip was to him. Besides, wp4webnovel.com should be coming back soon. Let’s not distract or worry him.”
Carter remained silent for a moment before letting out a chuckle. “You and Vinson are truly made for each other.”
“Why do you suddenly say that?”
“Do you still remember that cruise incident?”
“Yes…”
“The truth was, Vinson didn’t want to put you in any more danger, so wp4webnovel.com used himself as bait. He succeeded in luring those guys out, but unfortunately, the mastermind didn‘t fall for the trap.”
Arielle listened in stunned silence, wp4webnovel.com heart hammering away in wp4webnovel.com chest.
“I can‘t believe Vinson did that. He thinks far too highly of himself, doesn‘t he?”
