âI understand, thank you.
â Ariana gave a polite smile.
After considering for a moment, she added, âIâm here with friends.
They are currently occupied, so Iâm just killing time.
â
Following a beep, the wheelchairâs settings were reset.
Mitchel took a step back and suggested, âGive it a try.
â
Fumbling for the button, Ariana chose the âautomatic driveâ mode.
The speed of the wheelchair noticeably slowed down, now resembling a regular walking pace.
âThank you, Dr.
Chadwick.
â Ariana appeared like a child who had just been gifted a new toy, her eyes sparkling with fascination.
Even though the manual mode was safer, she found the automatic mode more appealing because it was less taxing.
Mitchel responded softly before glancing at his wristwatch.
Noticing this, Ariana paused in her exploration of the wheelchair to ask.
âWhat brings you here, Dr.
Chadwick?â
âs
âIâm attending a medical summit,â he replied.
Understanding this, Ariana nodded.
âThen you should hurry along.
Iâm perfectly fine.
â
After considering for a moment, Mitchel proposed, âWould you like to accompany me? You seem rather unoccupied.
â
âIâm not sure thatâs a good idea.
I wouldnât want to intrude.
â Ariana was indeed feeling bored, but she didnât wish to cause any inconvenience.
âItâs nothing serious, just a simple meeting thatâs taking place in the hotelâs back garden,â Mitchel clarified.
Ariana contemplated for a bit before succumbing to her curiosity.
âWhat will you discuss at the summit?â
âDifferent medical professionals will be presenting recent case studies and experiences.
For example, Dr.
Chavez who specializes in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and Dr.
Padilla, an expert on rare diseases.
There will also be representatives from the field of human transmission studies and other areas, including Dr.
Ruiz and Dr.

âDr.
Ruiz is attending too?â Arianaâs heart fluttered with excitement.
Debora Ruiz was an expert in child psychology, and Sarah had always hoped to involve her in Alinaâs case, but there had been challenges.
This was an unexpected opportunity!
Mitchel mentioned a number of people, and they were all substantial contributors to the discipline.

âDr.
Chadwick, are you sure this isnât an exclusive meeting that not just anyone can attend?â Ariana couldnât help but be astounded.
It wasnât every day that one could gather such an illustrious ensemble for a mere meeting.
Mitchel, as cool as a cucumber, responded, âOh, itâs just a casual meeting for the free flow of ideas.
Nothing too fancy, I assure you.
â
âBut wonât it be a hassle for you? My legs arenât exactly nimble.
â Ariana was torn, afraid of becoming a burden to Mitchel.
âDo you want to go?â Mitchel cut to the chase.
Caught off guard by his straightforward question, Ariana replied in a hushed tone, âYes, I do.
Iâd love to meet the child psychologist, Dr.
Ruiz.
â
âIf thatâs what you desire, then you should go.
â Mitchel pushed the wheelchair forward.
The hotelâs rooftop garden unfolded before them, a sprawling oasis in the sky, guarded by uniformed waitstaff at the entrance.
Journalists swarmed the scene, adding a touch of spectacle to the affair.
