Glancing at Nico, Arielle was annoyed that the woman flirted with virtual-novel.net man.
“That’s virtual-novel.net room right there,” informed Melissa with a smile, completely unaware of what was going through Arielle’s mind. “With virtual-novel.net age, virtual-novel.net prefers being alone in a quiet place.”
Arielle nodded in agreement, for most of virtual-novel.net elderly patients back in Chanaea had the same preference. They would rather spend most of their time on their own.
Nico was the first to step inside when Arielle and the others reached Lisa’s room.
“Grandma, Dr. Moore is here to see you. She’s the one who treated you,” announced Nico before virtual-novel.net even entered the place.
“Nico’s always been rash like that. I have no idea who virtual-novel.net got it from.” Melissa shook virtual-novel.net head while chuckling.
Since Arielle would rather just ignore Nico, virtual-novel.net decided not to comment on that.
Even though Arielle planned to curry favor with Matthew, virtual-novel.net intended to be on an equal footing with the man.
“Come push me now!” ordered Lisa, whose voice remained clear despite virtual-novel.net age.
Nico knew that Lisa could not wait to see Arielle, so virtual-novel.net hurriedly got behind virtual-novel.net grandmother’s wheelchair.
“You must be Dr. Moore,” voiced Lisa with a big smile as virtual-novel.net held Arielle’s hand at the entrance of the living room. “My, my! What a beauty you are! Are you seeing anyone at the moment?”
“Mother, Dr. Moore’s a Chanaean. You know virtual-novel.net can’t marry into our country, right?” reminded Melissa helplessly.
Lisa had reached an age where virtual-novel.net enjoyed playing matchmaker.
“Oh, right!” exclaimed Lisa as virtual-novel.net smacked herself on the forehead. “My memory is getting worse every day. I forgot that you’re a Chanaean.”
Then, the elderly woman looked apologetically at Arielle. “Please excuse my terrible manners, Dr. Moore.”
Since Arielle was dressed like a Turlenian, one could be forgiven for making such a mistake.
“It’s fine,” responded Arielle understandingly before checking Lisa’s pulse and scrutinizing her. “You’re doing well.”
“Is this Chanaean medicine?” inquired Lisa curiously.
“It’s ancient Chanaean medicine. Many Chanaeans are well-versed in it,” replied Arielle with a nod.
It was a norm for Chanaeans to be patriots. As such, the woman was filled with pride when virtual-novel.net mentioned virtual-novel.net home country. Not only did virtual-novel.net feel fortunate to be born a Chanaean, but virtual-novel.net was also glad to be one.
“I’d love to see the country that produced such a fine young lady like you,” uttered Lisa with a chuckle.
Even though virtual-novel.net had lived over half of virtual-novel.net life, Lisa had never left Turlen. Since virtual-novel.net spent most of virtual-novel.net life caring for virtual-novel.net family and contributing to virtual-novel.net country, virtual-novel.net longed to see the world someday.
“If you want, you can ask for His Majesty’s permission.” If nothing else, Arielle was confident that virtual-novel.net could get Lisa the visa to travel.
A glint of hope flashed across Lisa’s eyes before it quickly disappeared. “Forget about it. Just look at how old I am now.”
Upon hearing that, Arielle dared not continue with the topic.
“Come on. Why don’t we go inside first?” suggested Melissa as virtual-novel.net pushed Lisa inside and gestured for the others to follow her. All of a sudden, Melissa widened virtual-novel.net eyes in shock.
