Chapter 574
Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
The doctorâs eyes widened in bewilderment when he realized what the young woman had achieved.
âHow the heck did she do it? How did she find the cure? I donât understand.â Zachary could not believe that Arielle managed to find the cure on her own. She mustâve figured out the properties of the poison.
Thatâs how she found the proper treatment for it.
Arielle had put Zachary to utter shame since she was able to remedy a poison that even a doctor like himself could not.
Seeing how devastated Zachary was, the attending physician decided to stop his fellow doctorâs nonsense with a wave of his hand. âThatâs enough, Dr. Ziegler. Let the patient rest. He has a press conference to attend to later on.â
âA press conference? What press conference? Are you seriously going to let a person who almost died walk around as if nothing happened?â
âHeâs going to the press conference at Soir Coffee, so weâll get a PCA pump ready for him. The patientâs made up his mind.â
âAre you out of your mind?â exclaimed Zachary before turning to the patient. âAre you sure about this?
Do you know how serious this is? Your life is on the line here. Do you know that?â
For some reason, Zachary refused to let things go Arielleâs way.
Since he withdrew himself from the patientâs operation, Arielle would take all the credit if the press conference were successfully held. There was no way a proud man like Zachary would ever let the young woman steal the limelight from him.
The patient then sighed in response. âThis is my choice, so Iâll take full responsibility for it. If I die, thatâs on me.â
âThis is insane! Youâre all insane! Iâm his surgeon, and I say he has to stay and rest right here!â shouted Zachary with bloodshot eyes.
The attending physician scowled at the upset man and reminded sternly, âDr. Ziegler, in case youâve forgotten, you are no longer his surgeon because you quit halfway without any regard for the patientâs wellbeing. He is not under your care anymore.â
After that, the attending physician turned to the nurses in the emergency room. âPlease escort Dr.
Ziegler out.â
It was made apparent who the helpful one was and who should remain in the room, so the attending physician finally decided to send Zachary out.
âHow dare you kick me out! Have you forgotten who I am? Iâm the top surgeon at Rocher Private! Just ask Mr. Nightshire and Mr. Morgan.â
The attending physician unceremoniously gestured for the nurses to get a move on. âWhy is Dr. Ziegler still here? Do you want him to continue disturbing our patient?â
With that, the nurses in the room hurriedly worked together and removed Zachary.
That was the third time the doctor was sent out of the emergency room, but the others made sure that it would also be the last.
âOpen this door now! Do you hear me? Open it now!â Zachary pounded on the door furiously before security at the hospital took him away for good and restored peace to the emergency room.
Meanwhile, Vinson received a call from Carter while he was on his way to the press conference.
âHow is he?â inquired the man as soon as he answered his phone.
âHeâs fine. Chief is asking you to buy them some time at the press conference. She said the patient will be there as soon as theyâre done with the injection.â
Even though Vinson did not doubt that Arielle could save the patient, he was still stunned for two seconds when he heard the news. After getting poisoned and undergoing such a major operation, the patient is still able to attend the conference with just some pain medication? Youâre full of surprises, arenât you, Arielle?
Only after a few seconds of silence did the man finally continue, âIs she with you?â
âYes.â
âPut her on.â
