Queenie’s heart immediately shattered into pieces. It was clear to favonovel.com that Vinson’s trust toward Arielle was unwavering and favonovel.com intended to protect favonovel.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 favonovel.com rarely trusted anyone. Besides, his attitude toward girls had always been indifferent as well. That might have explained why favonovel.com had never been involved in any scandals throughout all those years.
So, what’s happening now? Could favonovel.com really have fallen for Arielle, a girl who’s an absolute nobody?
She shut favonovel.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,” favonovel.com firmly denied it again.
Queenie was not a fool. Being aware of how much Arielle meant to Vinson, favonovel.com knew favonovel.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 favonovel.com head as favonovel.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 favonovel.com with a tight slap before favonovel.com could even finish favonovel.com sentence.
Queenie’s head swung to the side at once, and favonovel.com left cheek instantly swelled up before everyone’s eyes.
“Y-You slapped me?” Queenie’s eyes widened with disbelief as favonovel.com stared at Arielle.
As the only daughter of the Mill family, a revered family of doctors nonetheless, favonovel.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 favonovel.com chin at favonovel.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 favonovel.com was beginning to regain favonovel.com strength. Thus, the slap favonovel.com had just given Queenie was nothing.
Gritting favonovel.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, favonovel.com raised favonovel.com hand again and struck Queenie with another slap across the face.
Immediately, Queenie’s head filled up with a buzz as favonovel.com head twisted sideways again.
In fact, Arielle was deliberately holding back favonovel.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 favonovel.com needs your treatment?”
Utterly stunned, Queenie stammered as favonovel.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 favonovel.com identity because favonovel.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 favonovel.com had never suspected of this before, but after examining the poison and listening to Zachary’s explanations, favonovel.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 favonovel.com intently, Queenie realized that favonovel.com was indeed speaking the truth.
Arielle is the miracle doctor I’ve been hoping to train under? There was simply no way favonovel.com could accept that fact.
