Chapter 114 Not trustworthy
Arielleâs expression became serious.
âTraditional Chanaean medicine has been in existence for thousands of years and it is a very profound
field of knowledge. Moreover, there are many people learning it now; so how can you look down on it
as a Chanaean?â
As Carterâs family owned a modern medicine hospital, he naturally looked down on traditional Chanaean
medicine.
Amused, he said, âIâm not saying that traditional Chanaean medicine is useless. It can cure cold and
fever, but isnât it ridiculous to suggest that it can treat a psychological illness too?â
Arielle frowned.
Her adoptive parents were currently doing research on that. After a few experiments, they discovered
that it was actually effective. Yet, Carter rejected all of their efforts just like that. She said disapprovingly,
âIâm not being ridiculous. If you agree, I can give it a shot.â
Carter refused without any hesitation.
âThereâs no need for that. If traditional Chanaean medicineâs as amazing as you claim it is, you can use it
for your DNA test.â
âYouâ¦â
Arielle was at a loss for words, not knowing how to rebuke him.
However, Vinson immediately said, âJust let her try.â
Carter and Arielle looked at him simultaneously.
Carter protested, âVin, you know very well how important that guy is to us.â
Vinson replied calmly, âI let her give it a shot precisely because heâs important. If we stick to modern
treatments, weâll have to wait for a year. We are facing a lot more obstacles now. In fact, my life and
Harveyâs are being threatened, yet we donât even know who the enemy is. Do you think that we can
afford to wait for another year?â
Carter fell silent.
Itâs true that we canât wait for so long. Who knows what the opponentâs next step would be?
Arielle glanced at Vinson in surprise.
Strangely, he seems to trust me a lot. Is it because Iâve saved him before? Since Vinson trusts me so
much, I will not disappoint him.
She took in a deep breath and said, âThere are a lot of side-effects associated with modern medicine, but
thereâs none for traditional Chanaean medicine. Even if I fail, it wonât be your loss at all.â
When Carter heard that, the wary look in his eyes faded slightly.
âFine, then letâs give it a shot. Just donât kill the person.â
âDonât worry, even if I donât cure him, I will not let anything happen to the patient.â
âLetâs go now.â
Carter headed out.
âWaitâ¦â interrupted Arielle embarrassedly. âCan you please prepare a set of clothes for me? Also, I canât
leave from the front door. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at this room right now.â
Vinson said, âGet her a set of clothes and some ropes. If we could not leave from the front door, weâll
have to flip through the window.â
Carter nodded. âWhen I entered, I could feel that someone is guarding the entrance of the hotel.
However, you said in your call that I shouldnât alert others, so I deliberately wore a hotel staffâs uniform. I
came up while avoiding the watchful eyes. However, this is the eleventh floor. Even if we can climb
down, can she? Are you going to carry her down?â
Vinson was about to say that he would carry Arielle down, when she interrupted curtly, âYou donât have to
worry about that. I can climb down myself.â
The two men stared at her simultaneously. After meeting Arielleâs determined gaze, Vinson turned back
and instructed Carter, âGo and prepare everything.â
Although Carter was still suspicious, he still left the room.
Soon, he brought back everything that was needed. After changing into her clothes, Arielle was the first
to grab the ropes on the floor. âAs Iâm wearing the hotel staffâs uniform, I wonât attract much attention. Iâll
go down first to keep a lookout for both of you.â
Carter could not help but remind her, âMs. Moore, weâre on the eleventh floor. Are you sure you can go
down alone?â
