Carter parted his lips in dismay, not knowing what else to say.
Though it was common knowledge that the customer was in a critical state all the while, the news still
gave him a shock.
Oh my God, I didnât expect things to be this bad! The chances of saving someone who had a cardiac
arrest are slim. Can Arielle do it?
Carter couldnât stop anxiety from overwhelming his heart. It wasnât that he didnât trust Arielle, but the
chances of resuscitating a dead person were practically next to none.
He gave Vinson a worried glance. âSince he had a cardiac arrest, we need to prepare for the worst.â
âNo need.â Vinson met his gaze. âWeâll wait for Arielle.â
âWait, didnât you say his heart had stopped beating? Can she resuscitate the dead?â
âWell, Iâve witnessed that firsthand,â Vinson revealed calmly.
Back then, when Yvetteâs father, Russell, suffered from a stroke, everyone thought he was dead. Even
so, Arielle managed to save his life. She had successfully resuscitated the dead once.
Hence, he told the story of how she saved Russell.
Carter felt pumped after hearing it.
She did the impossible!
âIndeed, sheâs amazing,â he muttered. âBut if thatâs the case, why do you look more uneasy than I do?â
âIâm not worried about this,â Vinson clarified solemnly. âIâm concerned that Arielleâs intervention will
make her a target of the culprit.â.
The recipient of his concern had always been Arielle.
Carter nodded in understanding. He patted Vinsonâs shoulder and said, âIf thatâs what youâre worried
about, you can relax. Sheâs capable of protecting herself. Besides, weâll do our very best to protect her.
Sheâll be fine.â
Alas, Vinsonâs apprehension remained.
Two explosion incidents had happened, so he refused to let his guard down.
After a brief silence, Vinson said, âAfter Toni and Andyâs funeral, Iâll station both Sasha and Blake by
Arielleâs side.â
Carter parted his lips to convince his friend that both Sasha and Blake were capable and loyal to him,
and they should be protecting him instead.
In the end, he thought the better and nodded in agreement. âThey are your bodyguards, anyway. You
can make your own arrangements.â
In a way, he had finally accepted Arielle as one of their
own.
I donât want Arielle to get dragged into our mess.
Meanwhile, inside the emergency room.
Arielle took the surgical gown from the surgeonâs assistant and went into the changing room to change
her clothes.
The doctors surrounding the operating table shared curious glances. They were well-known surgeons
from all over Chanaea, and Vinson had gathered them here.
One doctor questioned, âIs she really a doctor?â
After all, Arielleâs age, temperament, and the way she was dressed didnât look like one.
Zachary gave a rather awkward nod. âMr. Nightshire said sheâs a doctor. Right, letâs prepare the cardiac
pacemaker and try to revive him one last time.â
âAll right!â The other doctors nodded and got to work.
Though his heart had stopped beating, it didnât mean that he was dead. He would only be pronounced
dead legally the moment his brain stopped working.
They still had a chance of reviving him!
By the time Arielle stepped out in her surgical gown, the cardiac pacemaker was ready.
