Chapter 1524 Falling In Love With His Sister
Though the queen mother was upset that the person did not update her about Arielle being sent to the military hospital, she did not call him up to ask for an explanation. At that time, what mattered to her the most was Aaron’s safety. Upon investigating, she found out that Aaron was met with a mishap after speeding off from the military hospital.
Why was he driving so fast?
Suddenly, she recalled Dylan making a trip to the hospital too. Then, a thought flashed across her mind. Did a fight break out between the father and son duo because of Arielle? And Dylan won?
The queen mother became furious at her own assumption.
This is unacceptable! The father fell for his own daughter, whereas the younger brother developed feelings for his sister!
She was dying to expose Arielle as Dylan’s daughter, but she could not afford the possible consequences.
After all, Maureen’s death was… Hmm. It seems to me that there’s only one way to end this mess completely, which is to… She narrowed her eyes as malicious intent brewed in her head.
Meanwhile, at the palace, Dylan hit the ceiling whenever he thought of Arielle’s assassination attempt. Enraged by it, he called his subordinates to probe into the matter.
This isn’t the first time she’s been attacked. Who on earth wants her dead? Her identity here in Turlen is a doctor, who educates and shares her medical knowledge with others. I doubt she has stepped on anybody’s toes. Why is someone targeting her? Could it be that they don’t want her to teach in Turlen? But why wouldn’t they want her to do that here? Her presence here in this country is a blessing to the medical industry. She’s helping to improve the local medical standards. Why would people want to get rid of her?
A confused look crept up on Dylan’s face.
Back at the military hospital, Arielle was finally out of the operating theater and sent into the ICU ward. Vinson’s expression clouded over while he was in deep thought. They are placing her in the ICU ward. Does it mean that she’s not out of the woods yet? Is she so severely injured that she’s still battling immediate danger?
‘‘Doctor, may I know where Dr. Moore’s wounds are?’‘ Vinson consulted Arielle’s attending doctor. He realized that he was worried about her injury all this while without knowing exactly where she was shot.
The doctor got all worked up when he found out that the patient he was attending to was the famous Dr. Moore, who came to Turlen to teach medicine. Instantly, his expression turned serious.
Judging from how disheveled Vinson looked after staying up the entire night, the doctor assumed that he was someone close to Arielle. ‘‘The patient was shot twice; one bullet hit her lungs, whereas the other one scraped past her heart. Thankfully, it didn’t go through her heart. Although we’ve retrieved the bullets, she still needs to be observed further at the ICU.’‘
Vinson was in a turmoil of emotions when he heard Arielle’s condition being explained to him, and his heart ached with unbearable guilt and deep remorse.
Why didn’t I take good care of her? She was shot right next to me. How can I ever forgive myself for letting her go through such a life-threatening episode?
Seeing how devastated he was, the doctor tapped his shoulder and offered a word of comfort, ‘‘Don’t worry too much. I’m sure Dr. Moore will recover in no time.’‘
Arielle was a more competent doctor compared to him, and he had been dreaming of exhausting all of his contacts to get a chance to attend Arielle’s lecture. Unfortunately, he missed the opportunity due to a patient’s appointment. Finally, they met despite it happening under a less-than-ideal circumstance.
After saying so, the doctor furrowed his brows as the gunshot wound on Vinson’s arm caught his attention.
He asked in puzzlement, ‘‘You were shot too? Why didn’t you admit yourself for surgery to get the bullet out since you’ve been here at the hospital the entire time?’‘ Feeling rather upset, he continued, ‘‘If you don’t know how to appreciate your own body, can you imagine how infuriated Dr. Moore will get when she wakes up to see you in such a bad shape?’‘
