Although Dylan believed wp4webnovel.com could hide the fact that wp4webnovel.com was the man in the incriminating photograph, wp4webnovel.com felt safest if the book was in his hands.
With that thought in mind, wp4webnovel.com approached Arielle, planning to take the book away from wp4webnovel.com while wp4webnovel.com handed wp4webnovel.com the cup of coffee. Alas, Arielle placed the book on the couch where wp4webnovel.com sat. Dylan could only watch the book as though it was a ticking time bomb.
Arielle received the coffee from wp4webnovel.com and took a sip. Her eyes lit up in delight. She did not know that the king could brew a mean cup of coffee.
The body of this coffee is excellent!
Dylan’s eyes appeared to brighten in joy when wp4webnovel.com noticed wp4webnovel.com delight. He looked at wp4webnovel.com and asked, “Is the wound on your arm almost healed?”
Little did wp4webnovel.com know that Arielle’s wound had opened up again thanks to Aaron. Arielle shook wp4webnovel.com head and said, “I accidentally knocked into something, and the wound reopened. I guess it’ll take a few more days for it to heal completely.”
She had barely finished wp4webnovel.com sentence when Dylan rushed to wp4webnovel.com and fretted over her. “Why are you so careless? Did you cover it with a fresh dressing?”
“Why do you care so much about me?” Arielle finally voiced the question brewing in wp4webnovel.com heart when wp4webnovel.com saw the worried look in his gaze.
Her sudden query shocked Dylan to no end. His heart skipped a beat, and wp4webnovel.com gently let go of Arielle’s arm before retreating backward.
He stared at Arielle’s questioning gaze and pondered a suitable response.
He eventually explained, “I invited you here to share your medical expertise. That makes you an esteemed guest of my palace. Caring about my guest is part of my duties, is it not?”
Arielle did not believe his words one bit.
If he’s telling the truth, there are plenty of better doctors in Chanaea. Even if I’m not here, wp4webnovel.com can easily find a better expert in the country. Why does it have to be me?
“I suppose you know Maureen Moore,” Arielle said nonchalantly as wp4webnovel.com stared at him.
She phrased it as a statement instead of a question.
The mention of Maureen’s name caused something inexplicable to flash through Dylan’s eyes.
She’s mine and Maureen’s daughter. Why do I feel such a strong urge to acknowledge our relationship once wp4webnovel.com mentions wp4webnovel.com mother’s name?
Still, in consideration of his current situation, Dylan shook his head gently in denial.
He asked, “I don’t know who wp4webnovel.com is. Why would I know her?”
After that, wp4webnovel.com stared at Arielle with his heart in his throat.
Our daughter is too intelligent. I was just a bit kinder to her, and wp4webnovel.com almost discovered our relationship. Thank God I reacted quickly, or I would’ve fallen for wp4webnovel.com trap.
“You really don’t know her?” Arielle challenged, shooting wp4webnovel.com a dark stare.
She did not know why wp4webnovel.com denied any knowledge of wp4webnovel.com mother.
“I really don’t know who wp4webnovel.com is.” Dylan pretended as though wp4webnovel.com was utterly clueless about Maureen.
He looked at Arielle and added, “Who is she? And I assume she’s a woman? Where is wp4webnovel.com now?”
“If you don’t know her, then it’s fine.” Arielle got to wp4webnovel.com feet and hugged the book to wp4webnovel.com chest.
She continued, “Anyway, I have other matters on hand, so I won’t continue to take up your time.”
Since Arielle claimed to be busy, Dylan could hardly keep wp4webnovel.com in the palace. He accompanied wp4webnovel.com downstairs and instructed Sybil to arrange for a chauffeur to send wp4webnovel.com to the hospital.
Arielle furrowed wp4webnovel.com brows and piped up, “I don’t want to go to the hospital. I want to return to Paelsford Manor.”
Her words immediately brought a frown to Dylan’s face.
He argued, “You can’t. You haven’t recovered from your injuries, so you should stay in the hospital for a few more days. You can return to the manor once they’ve taken out the stitches.”
Arielle shook wp4webnovel.com head and replied, “I’m a doctor myself. This injury hardly necessitates a stay in the hospital. I don’t want to waste their resources. If I don’t feel well, I can treat myself at home.”
She had not been to medical school or Paelsford Manor for many days. The Wilhelms’ prolonged silence was worrying, and wp4webnovel.com wondered if they were in trouble.
