A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 840
After Queenie stormed off in a haze of rage, she found herself growing suspicious. She quickly backtracked to trail after Arielle and Teddy in secret.
Since the hospital was packed today, Queenie blended in seamlessly with the crowd as she followed the duo to the eleventh floor. Finally, they stopped in front of a ward.
Was one of Arielle‘s friends admitted to the hospital? Is Vinson the patient?
Queenie lingered outside the ward for a few moments before she decided to seek answers from a nearby nurse.
“Although the patient is in a VIP ward, there are no doctors assigned to him?” Queenie asked suspiciously
Is Arielle the patient‘s doctor?
“That’s right.” The nurse nodded. “There are no doctors attending the patient. Nevertheless, the hospital director visits the ward every day. We aren’t allowed to enter the ward without permission too. Mr. Nightshire isn’t the patient. Instead, the patient is a young maiden from the countryside. However, Mr. Nightshire’s men did drop by once. Mr. Nightshire’s assistant was the one who handled her admission procedures.”
Queenie wracked her brain and came up with an idea.
“Could you give me the patient’s details? I might be able to offer some help,” Queenie asked.
The naive nurse did not give Queenie’s question a second thought. She was under the impression that Queenie was merely trying to help the patient.
She clapped her hands in delight. “Dr. Mill, it would be great if you are willing to help out. The patient has been diagnosed with lung cancer. I’ve seen her records; it looks like her lung cancer has progressed to its later stages. Hence, her recovery might be difficult. But, if you help her out, I’m sure her chances of recovery will increase greatly!”
Upon hearing the words “lung cancer,” Queenie was taken aback.
She gathered the patient’s report file and returned to her office.
After Queenie read through the reports, she finally had a solid grasp of the entire situation.
The couple was a pair of workers to whom Henrick owed wages. Arielle must have wanted to impress Vinson. Hence, she admitted the woman here and personally attended to her.
It must be why this patient wasn‘t assigned a doctor.
Once realization dawned upon Queenie, she sneered scornfully.
In Chanaea, lung cancer had the highest mortality rate among patients. She’d never heard of lung cancer being successfully cured with traditional Chanaean medicine before.
Although Queenie herself had a background in ancient and traditional Chanaean medicine, she strongly favored the use of modern medicine to treat cancer.
Modern medicine would be Queenie’s first choice, even more so when it came to lung cancer.
Arielle must be delusional to think that traditional Chanaean medicine can cure this patient‘s lung cancer.
Right now, Queenie only needed to sit back and wait for the patient to succumb to her illness. Then,
she would leak the news of Arielle’s failure to the press. Let’s see how much backlash she‘ll get once / publish this patient‘s death to the public!
In truth, Queenie felt threatened when she realized that Arielle was the one who created the antidote for the snake’s venom. She was afraid that Arielle might topple her from her position in the medical field.
Once I reveal Arielle‘s failure, my position will be as secure as ever!
Queenie grew giddy with glee as she fantasized about witnessing Arielle’s downfall.
Back at the ward, Arielle gave Josee another round of acupuncture and instructed her to drink the herbal concoction she’d prepared earlier.
This time, she doubled the herbs’ dosage.
Not long after Josee scarfed down the drink, she began to cough up blood.
Nigel’s heart ached when he saw Josee’s pain. On the other hand, Josee found that she felt better after vomiting all the blood.
After a few words of advice, Arielle asked Teddy to remain in the hospital while she hailed a cab to the largest traditional Chanaean hospital in Jadeborough.
The largest traditional Chanaean hospital in Jadeborough was called Silverbirch Hospital. It was a medical body owned by the famous Mills.
