Chapter 588

The call was from Queenie, and Zachary switched his attitude to simp mode. “Oh, you’re here, Queenie? Nothing happened on the way, I hope?”

Queenie ignored his question and went out. “How’s the patient doing? I told the pilot to land the chopper at the nearest clearing. If nothing goes wrong, I should be there in ten.”

“Ahem.” Zachary coughed awkwardly. “You don’t have to come now, Queenie.”

Queenie’s face fell. “What are you talking about? Are you joking?”

“No, I’m not.” Zachary explained quickly, “It’s just that the patient’s cured.”

“Cured? I thought you said he was in serious condition.” He made it sound like the patient’s dying, but now he’s cured right after I got off the chopper? And that’s too fast! Even the normal flu would take nearly a week to heal.

“Arielle did it.” Zachary briefed her about how Arielle neutralized the snake venom in the patient’s body.

Queenie was quiet for a moment. “You mean she neutralized the Furious Devil?”

Zachary was surprised she knew that. “You know the venom’s name? So she didn’t make it up herself?”

Queenie snorted. “Of course not. It’s a powerful venom.

This venom can cause discomfort that ranges from a week to a month, and that’s only a thousandth of its original concentration. If it’s not diluted, anyone who gets injected with it will die within a day.”

Zachary wiped the sweat off his forehead. “No wonder the patient was in critical condition.”

Queenie was still confused about the situation. “Who neutralized the venom?”

“A girl named Arielle,” Zachary answered. “She doesn’t look like a doctor to me. More like a celebrity. I bet she got the serum from someone else.”

“Impossible,” Queenie denied. “As far as I know, not even the breeders have found the serum. She can’t have gotten it from someone else.”

“You mean she neutralized it herself?” Zachary scoffed, “Impossible. You’ll know why when you see her. She’s too gorgeous to be a doctor. I bet she’s dealing in some shady business.”

He saw Arielle’s face right before she got into the taxi, and even though he liked Queenie, he had to say Arielle was gorgeous. To be precise, she was seductive, not at all what a doctor should look like. A vixen like her couldn’t have neutralized the venom all by herself.

If she did do it all by herself, she’d be the greatest doctor alive. But I’ve never heard of her before, so that can’t be true.

Zachary kept going on with his analysis, while Queenie only listened. A long while later, she asked, “You said the patient will attend the press release?”

“Yes.” Zachary nodded. “That girl is either mad or trying to please Vinson. The patient has just gotten out of the woods, and she asked him to attend the press release right away. She’s mad!”

Queenie wasn’t interested in what Zachary had to say, so she ended the call and hailed a taxi. “To Grandview Hotel, please.”
