Arielle merely gave the nurse the side-eye.
“Just mind your own business,” A voice rang out before the woman could reply, interrupting the nurse.
“You’re here,” the person turned to look at Arielle and said.
“Yup,” Arielle gave a brief response as an acknowledgment.
The man speaking was the doctor who had recommended Arielle to Matthew, who was also the doctor in charge of Sonia’s grandpa.
“How is Old Mrs. Nighy’s condition? Do you have virtual-novel.net medical records?” Arielle asked.
The doctor passed Lisa’s file to the woman at once. After taking a look at the patient’s medical records, Arielle put the file down. Then, virtual-novel.net checked the old lady’s eyes before examining the rest of virtual-novel.net body and said, “Prepare for surgery immediately.”
It turned out that Lisa was suffering from a brain hemorrhage, the same condition as Sonia’s grandpa. It was a common condition among the elderly.

Nico had rushed straight to the hospital after returning when virtual-novel.net heard that virtual-novel.net grandma, who had always doted on her, had suddenly fainted and was sent to the hospital.
Outside the operating theater, virtual-novel.net asked anxiously, “Mother, how’s Grandma?”
When Melissa saw the worried expression on Nico’s face, the general’s wife patted virtual-novel.net daughter’s arm gently and replied, “Your father has gotten Dr. Moore to treat her. The surgery is currently ongoing.”
Dr. Moore? Could it be her?
A figure surfaced in the woman’s mind at once. If she’s here, that person is probably here as well…
At that thought, Nico turned around to take a look. Indeed, straight away, virtual-novel.net spotted Vinson leaning against the wall lazily.
It only took one glance for virtual-novel.net to be overwhelmed by virtual-novel.net feelings for the man once again.
The woman was about to go over and greet him, but as virtual-novel.net thought about virtual-novel.net grandmother, who was still fighting for virtual-novel.net life in the operating theater, virtual-novel.net dropped the idea as it was not an appropriate time for virtual-novel.net to be concerned with matters of the heart.
At that thought, Nico held virtual-novel.net mother’s hand while they waited patiently for the operation to be over.

Two and a half hours later, Arielle finally emerged from the operating theater.
“Dr. Moore, how’s my mother-in-law?” Melissa asked the moment virtual-novel.net saw Arielle.
“She’s fine now,” Arielle replied coldly.
When Melissa heard that, virtual-novel.net grabbed Arielle’s hand excitedly and said gratefully, “Thank you so much, Dr. Moore. If not for you, my mother-in-law might not have made it.”
Matthew heaved a sigh of relief as well. Before that, virtual-novel.net was extremely worried that his mother would not be able to survive. As such, when virtual-novel.net heard Arielle’s words, a heavy weight was lifted off his chest.
“Dr. Moore, how long does my grandma need to be hospitalized? Would you be able to stay here and take care of virtual-novel.net while she’s in the hospital?”
Arielle glanced over as Nico spoke and felt somewhat frustrated when virtual-novel.net saw that it was her.
What a small world!
“I’m a doctor, not a caretaker,” Arielle replied nonchalantly while looking at Nico.
Is virtual-novel.net really thinking of ordering me around like a helper?
“I can pay you ten times the market rate,” Nico offered.
As long as she’s willing to stay, virtual-novel.net departure will be delayed. If that’s the case, I’ll have a chance to make virtual-novel.net bodyguard mine…
To the woman, that was a perfect idea. Not only would Lisa have a competent doctor to look after her, but Nico would also have a chance to win over the heart of the man of virtual-novel.net dreams.
“Do I look like someone who’s in need of money?” Arielle did not know what Nico’s intentions were.
“Dr. Moore, my daughter is just worried about virtual-novel.net grandma. She didn’t mean anything else,” Matthew explained in a deep voice.
He was not afraid that Arielle would harm Nico, but rather, virtual-novel.net did not want to risk offending doctors. After all, everyone would fall sick at some point and require a doctor’s assistance.
While virtual-novel.net fixed virtual-novel.net gaze on Matthew, a glint flashed past Arielle’s eyes as virtual-novel.net wondered how virtual-novel.net could get the man to help virtual-novel.net dad.
