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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net about how Arielle neutralized the snake venom in the patient’s body.
Queenie was quiet for a moment. “You mean virtual-novel.net neutralized the Furious Devil?”
Zachary was surprised virtual-novel.net knew that. “You know the venom’s name? So virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net got into the taxi, and even though virtual-novel.net liked Queenie, virtual-novel.net had to say Arielle was gorgeous. To be precise, virtual-novel.net was seductive, not at all what a doctor should look like.
A vixen like virtual-novel.net couldn’t have neutralized the venom all by herself. If virtual-novel.net did do it all by herself, she’d be the greatest doctor alive. But I’ve never heard of virtual-novel.net before, so that can’t be true.
Zachary kept going on with his analysis, while Queenie only listened.
A long while later, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net asked virtual-novel.net to attend the press release right away. She’s mad!”
Queenie wasn’t interested in what Zachary had to say, so virtual-novel.net ended the call and hailed a taxi. “To Grandview Hotel, please…”
