Chapter 1348 Sick
âHeâs sick?â Arielle opened her room door and stepped out. Seeing the worried expression on Toddâs
face, she demanded, âWhat happened to him? How sick is he?â
Recalling the scene from a while ago, Todd immediately replied, âHeâs having a stomachache!â
âTake me there!â Arielle was hoping to use Aaron to find her biological father. Hence, she could not sit
idly by and do nothing.
âSan? Whatâs happened?â The Wilhelms hurried over after hearing the relentless knocks.
Arielle turned to her adoptive parents and shook her head. âItâs Aaron. Heâs having a stomachache. Iâm
going over to take a look. Donât worry.â
âDo you need our help?â They, too, were doctors. Hence, they could not bear to leave a patient in
suffering.
Arielle stared at the couple and thought about it. âWhy donât you come with me, Dad? Mom, you can
stay back to take care of Pat.â
âSan, I want to go too!â Pat did not want to be separated from his sister.
âBe good, Pat. Iâll be back in a while.â Arielle pinched Patâs cheeks and promised, âIâll bring you
something delicious when I come back.â
It was only when Pat heard there would be good food that he agree to not go along with Arielle.
Soon, they arrived at Aaronâs room. The first thing they saw was him clutching his stomach with his
body curled in a ball. On top of that, he looked extremely pale.
Arielle and Hubert rushed forward. Looking at Aaron, the former asked, âDoes this part hurt?â
As she spoke, she pressed the lower right area of his abdomen.
âYes!â Aaron replied while enduring the pain.
In reality, he really did not want Arielle to see him in such a humiliating state. Sadly, she was the only
one with the best medical skills on the ship.
Arielle turned to Hubert and said, âItâs acute appendicitis. He needs surgery.â
âMs. Moore, is Mr. Aaronâs condition serious?â Todd looked so worried that he was on the verge of
tears. Aaron was the remaining heir in the country. Thus, it would be a big issue if something happened
to him.
Arielle looked at Todd and assured him, âHeâll be fine after the surgery.â
âThen, please do it. We canât let anything happen to Mr. Aaron.â The assistant gazed hopefully at
Arielle, hoping that she could operate on Aaron as soon as possible.
âI can do the surgery. But first, give me your phone. I need to make a call,â Arielle said to Todd.
She had no choice but to act in a despicable manner in order to contact Vinson.
The moment Aaron heard Arielleâs request, he was so infuriated that he kicked his legs in the air while
enduring the pain. He glared at his assistant and hissed, âNo! Donât give it to her!â
âAaron, I just want to inform my husband of my whereabouts.â Arielle looked at Aaron, frowning. âHe
and I are a couple. Heâll be worried if he canât find me, and I donât want him to worry.â
âNo! I donât want you to operate on me!â Aaron huffed in anger. He had finally managed to take Arielle
away with much difficulty. Hence, he would never agree to let Vinson know about her whereabouts, no
matter what she said.
âAre you sure you donât want me to do the surgery?â Arielle eyed Aaron. âDo you know your life will be
in danger if you delay the surgery?â
âMr. Aaronââ Before Todd could say anything, Aaron interrupted, âNo. I donât need you to worry about
me. Get out!â He closed his eyes, breaking into a cold sweat.
No matter what anyone said, he would not let Arielle contact Vinson. Arielle was downright infuriated by
his behavior.
âMs. Moore, itâs not that I donât want to give you my phone. Itâs just that itâs useless even if you have it.
The signal light on the cruise ship has broken. That means thereâs no signal on the entire ship. So,
even if I give you the phone, you wonât be able to make any calls.â
Arielle knitted her brows, unable to believe Toddâs words.
âYou can give it a try if you donât believe me.â Noticing the look of disbelief on Arielleâs face, Todd
quickly handed her the phone.
Arielle took the phone and started dialing Vinsonâs number. To her dismay, her calls could not get
through.
