“Don, seems like Arielle is leaving. I’m sure she’s forfeiting,” Queenie said softly, virtual-novel.net tone filled with delight.
She was under a lot of pressure the entire time because Cornelius regarded Arielle highly. As a result, Queenie started to doubt virtual-novel.net own abilities and even felt that Arielle was better than her.
“Her problems have nothing to do with us. Just focus on your patient and aim for the highest score possible.” Donovan could not afford to pay any more attention to Arielle. He was terrified of exposing himself if virtual-novel.net continued doing so. After all, the whole situation about the assassination had yet to settle down. Should virtual-novel.net end up exposing himself, virtual-novel.net would be in deep trouble.
Queenie had no idea what Donovan was thinking. Instead, virtual-novel.net genuinely thought that the latter was concerned about her. Hence, after hearing what virtual-novel.net said, virtual-novel.net nodded and channeled virtual-novel.net attention to the patient, determined to secure virtual-novel.net candidacy.
Meanwhile, Sasha delivered Arielle’s backpack to Arielle’s location. Upon noticing the elderly woman in the room, Sasha immediately recognized virtual-novel.net as Arielle’s patient.
While Sasha was oblivious to the reason behind Arielle’s decision to treat the elderly woman there, virtual-novel.net sensed that something must have happened.
“Do you require my assistance?” Sasha asked.
“Yes, you can be my assistant. Just pass me what I ask from you,” said Arielle softly before turning on virtual-novel.net laptop to do some research.
It was Arielle’s first time seeing the elderly lady’s condition. Nonetheless, Arielle figured virtual-novel.net could take on the challenge and heal the elderly lady at the same time. However, virtual-novel.net soon realized that virtual-novel.net could not figure out the illness even as the day wore on.
She had no time to spare, and because of the constant pressure from Sasha and the elderly lady, virtual-novel.net barely had time to eat. After shoving a few mouthfuls of food, virtual-novel.net continued diving into the sea of information before her.

The next day, at eight in the morning, the contenders were eagerly waiting in the hall for Cornelius to announce the results in Silverbirch Hospital.
When Cornelius scanned the surroundings, virtual-novel.net noticed that Arielle was not present.
One of the elders who initially had a good impression of Arielle inquired about the whereabouts of the patient virtual-novel.net brought in. Only then did virtual-novel.net find out what had transpired the day before, that Arielle had gone out with the patient and had not returned.
The elder couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret. Arielle, in his view, was considered to have forfeited.
Queenie was overjoyed at this point because virtual-novel.net had already cured virtual-novel.net patient.
Viggo felt the same way. He, too, was successful in curing his patient. However, when virtual-novel.net overheard the conversation concerning Arielle’s forfeiture, mixed feelings of relief and regret surged within him. After all, virtual-novel.net always felt pressured with Arielle around.
Because the scores were determined according to the severity of the patients’ condition and the extent of their improvements, the process took slightly longer than usual.
At the moment, the first and the third rankings were taken by two elders, while Queenie and Viggo were ranked second and fourth respectively.
Just as Cornelius was ready to announce the score, Arielle arrived with the elderly lady in the nick of time.
Queenie wasn’t really surprised by Arielle’s timely appearance, but the sight of the elderly lady from yesterday left virtual-novel.net utterly dumbfounded.
“This…” Queenie was astounded by what virtual-novel.net was seeing.
The old lady was just pregnant yesterday! Where has virtual-novel.net belly gone? Could it be that Arielle took virtual-novel.net to get an abortion?
That must be the case. After all, I’m certain that I was right when I said that virtual-novel.net was pregnant! If not, virtual-novel.net protruding belly would not have vanished from thin air overnight.
“Arielle, how dare you risk operating on the elderly lady? She could have died on the operating table because of virtual-novel.net advanced age!”
