This is Carter’s family’s hospital!
Arielle was delighted knowing that. This makes things a lot easier.
Without hesitation, she told Henrick that she was going to the washroom before she hid in a corner of
the hospital. Then, she phoned Carter.
The latter answered the phone instantly, “Chief, what’s up? Is there anything I can do for you?”
Arielle glanced around before she replied, “Your family owns Morgan Hospital, right?”
“Yes. Are you there now?”
“Yes. My aunt and also stepmother’s name is Cindy Moore. She’s getting a medical checkup here. Can
you send someone to have a look at her?”
“Not a problem. I’ll call them right now.”
“All right. Thank you. Also, thank you for helping me with the psychiatric hospital matter. I’ll treat you to
a meal some other day.”
“Sure.”
Arielle hurriedly hung up the call and kept her phone before she returned to the emergency room.
Henrick did not even realize that she had returned. He leaned against the wall, his gaze appearing
blank and
looking like he had aged ten years.
It was the first time Arielle saw him looking like that. Deep down, all she felt was glee.
He clearly can’t accept the fact that Cindy is cheating on him, but has he ever thought of Mom’s
feelings when he cheated on her back then? This is karma. He deserves it!
Arielle quickly hid the mocking look in her expression before she approached Henrick. “Dad, I’m back.
Don’t worry about Aunt Cindy. I think she’s just too upset about Shandie’s passing. Also, she stayed in
the psychiatric hospital for some time. Her immunity might’ve weakened there.”
Henrick forced a grin and replied, “Yeah. I’m not worried.”
A beat later, he added, “Arielle, what do you think about Cindy?”
Arielle paused for a while before she smiled. “Aunt
She knew that if she badmouthed Cindy now, Henrick would suspect that the rumor he heard in the
psychiatric hospital might be fake.
As expected, after hearing her answer, Henrick asked, “I thought you two were always having
misunderstandings? Why did you still say she’s nice? What do you mean by that?”
Arielle smiled and answered, “I don’t know how to put it in words… I just feel like she’s treating you
well. I think she’s a nice person because of that.’
Seeing her being so pure and naive, Henrick’s face turned darker.
He knew that Cindy treated him well. But is she treating me well because she’s feeling guilty and
indebted to me?
Thinking about it, Henrick recalled that Cindy had never once given him an attitude ever since they got
married. That’s really strange.
Studying Henrick’s changing expressions, Arielle knew that her plan was working.
She smiled gently as she asked, “Dad, what are you thinking?”
“N-Nothing.” Henrick lowered his head guiltily.
Right at that moment, a doctor walked toward them and asked, “Is Cindy Moore’s family around?”
Henrick did not respond. Yet, Arielle raised her hand and replied, “Right here. We’re her family.”
The doctor looked at her before he said, “There’s some problem with the patient, so we took her to do
an in depth examination. You can wait for her in the waiting room. It may take an hour for the results to
be out.”
Henrick was stunned. He asked, “What’s wrong with her? Why do we have to wait for so long? I
thought she was only having motion sickness?”
The doctor pushed his glasses up and explained, “We’re not sure yet. Please wait patiently until the
results come out.’
Finished speaking, he turned around and left.
