Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Killing Her Own Dad At that thought, Arielle’s gaze turned icy and menacing.

Yvette wants to destroy my reputation, huh? Well, it shall backfire on her!

Nonetheless, Arielle kept her real feelings hidden, so others only saw how concerned she was about Yvette.

She patted Yvette’s shoulder and assured her, “Yvette, don’t worry. I know some basic first aid knowledge. Let me try it on Mr. Actonward. Perhaps it’s not too late to save him.”

Instantly, Yvette snapped back to reality.

She slapped Arielle’s hand away forcefully and screamed, “B*tch! Leave my house now!”

Her reaction caused the others to shoot disapproving looks in Yvette’s direction.

The young lady offered to help Russell, but Yvette was rude to her. Does she want to save her dad or let her dad die?

It’s bad enough that Shandie became mad after going to the monastery. Has Yvette gone mad, too?

Does she want her father to die so she can inherit the Actonwards’ wealth?

That’s crazy!

At that point, Clara couldn’t take it anymore. She grabbed Yvette’s hand and wailed, “Ms. Yvette, please let this young lady try and save Mr. Actonward.”

The rest chimed in, “Yes, Ms. Actonward. Don’t be heartless. Your dad is in danger!”

“If something happens to him, you will need to bear some sort of responsibility!”

“That’s right! It doesn’t hurt to give it a try. Miss, please help Mr. Actonward!”

Yvette hung her head low upon hearing the crowd’s voices.

She trembled in anger and tamped down the urge to give Arielle a forceful slap.

Everyone was staring at her like she was a madwoman, so she dared not stop them from inviting Arielle to save Russell.

Arielle was certain that Russell knew nothing about Yvette’s scheme. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have died in a fit of fury.

Thus, she wanted to save Russell for he was innocent.

Besides, saving Russell’s life would help her to gain a firm foothold in Jadeborough.

At that, she had made up her mind. Her adoptive parents wanted to develop traditional Chanaean medicine, but they were foreigners and couldn’t open a traditional hospital here.

After saving Russell, she would proceed to open a hospital that practiced traditional Chanaean medicine and bring her adoptive parents over so they could reunite.

But, can I save Russell?

Arielle then took Russell’s pulse without hesitation as her gaze turned serious.

It was worse than what she had imagined.

Not only had Russell collapsed out of shock, but he also suffered from serious cardiovascular disease.

Now, Russell had stopped breathing without warning, causing sudden death.

“Miss, how is Mr. Actonward doing?” asked Clara in concern.

Arielle shook her head. “He’s not faring well. Can you ask someone to bring Mr. Actonward to the waiting room? I need to treat him using acupuncture.”

In modern medicine, doctors would have to operate on someone who had sudden death. The chance of a successful operation was extremely slim, though.
