Chapter 623
In the room, Arielle had just gotten ready for bed when there was a knock on her door.
Expecting it to be Cindy seeking trouble again, Arielle opened the door impatiently only to find Larissa standing there.
“Larissa?” Arielle immediately looked left and right to make sure that there was nobody around them before she pulled her into the room.
After they closed the door, Arielle said, “Why are you here? Did anyone see you?”
Larissa shook her head and said, “I’ve checked. No one’s around, so I came here.”
She showed Arielle the herbs in her hands. “This is the herbs that Mrs. Southall asked me to process for her. However, she refused to let anyone else take it apart from me. I thought it sounded suspicious, so I brought it here for you to take a look.”
Arielle brought the herbs closer to her nose for a sniff. It smelled like the leftovers that she had taken from the psychiatric hospital.
“Alright.” Arielle returned the pack to Larissa and said, “Go ahead and help her steep the herbs. From now on, remember not to look for me. If you want to contact me, just text me, so you don’t raise Cindy’s suspicions. I placed you undercover, so we must never let her find
out.”
Larissa nodded and said, “Yes, I was too careless. Oh yes, and there was this too.”
Then, Larissa fished out the necklace and said, “Mrs. Southall gave this to me.”
Arielle took a look, and she identified it as a diamond necklace from Bvlgari. It was probably worth about a hundred grand.
She sniggered and played with the necklace for a while before saying, “Who would have expected that Cindy would become so generous in her bid to gather people’s loyalty? Go ahead and sell the necklace. After your child recovers, you will still need money for other expenses.”
“No, no,” Larissa said, “I’ve already taken enough from you, so how can I still take from Cindy? You are still young, and looking at this current situation, you need the money more than I do.”
Arielle stuffed the necklace into Larissa’s pocket and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I have a little more money than you think I do. Just go ahead and sell the necklace. Take this opportunity to experience the joy of earning two salaries.”
Larissa had no reply for that. After all, this was completely unexpected.
How much money could a young girl like her have?
Of course, she never said all these out loud. All she
knew was that Arielle was a good person, and she had to repay her someday.
Then, Larissa did not dawdle any further and immediately went down to steep the herbs.
Meanwhile, at the Rocher Private Hospital…
Only the rich and famous could afford to visit this hospital, so it wasn’t that crowded here compared to other hospitals.
When Henrick arrived at the hospital, two nurses went forward to greet him, “Which department are you heading to?”
“Emergency!” Henrick said anxiously. “My mother says that she could not breathe, and she even fainted once on the way here. She has just regained consciousness and is still in the car. Bring a stretcher over to her!”
When the nurses heard him, one ran off to grab a stretcher while the other immediately informed the doctors in the emergency ward.
When Malorie was lifted onto the stretcher, she was already having breathing difficulties, and things did not look good at all.
The doctor checked her while asking Henrick, “What happened? What caused this?”’
“My mother had a fall. The butler said it was just a slip. There weren’t any big issues after that, but she began
feeling uncomfortable about one hour after the fall.”
“Alright. Go ahead and pay the fees first while we bring her for a checkup.”
Soon after that, the nurses and the medical staff busied themselves. Henrick could not help with anything, so he went to pay the fees.
It was just a fall, right? How did it turn out this way?
