Chapter 116 We Need Him Alive
She had just stepped out of the elevator when she heard Jordan and Harvey bickering.
âThatâs enough from you. Calling that true love? Which one of your exes didnât you consider your true
love?â
âIâve had enough of you myself. What does a lifelong bachelor like you know? And love at first
sight? Pfft. Sounds more like hoes before bros to me! I think you should be the one to give her up to me
instead!â
âMaybe you should ask my fists what they think about that!â
âOh, getting serious here now, are we?â
âDamn straight we are!â
Unsure as to what the disagreement was about, Arielle intervened immediately upon seeing how close
they were to coming to blows. âWeâre in a hospital, so what the heck do the both of you think youâre
doing?â
The two men were caught off guard and both appeared surprised when they turned and saw Arielle in
the lift lobby.
âWhat are you doing here, Arielle?â Harvey was first to approach, with Jordan close behind.
Arielle was about to speak when Vinson got in ahead of her. âI brought her over to take a look because
she said that she may have an idea for a treatment. If thereâs nothing better for the two of you to do here,
quit messing around and just go home to sleep already.â
âNah! Weâre plenty busy, arenât we, Harvey?â
Jordan ignored him and turned to regard Arielle instead. âAre you able to address psychological
ailments?â
Arielle replied humbly, âI just happen to know a little about post-traumatic stress disorder, so I thought it
might be worth giving a shot. Which ward is the patient at?â
Carter pointed to the right. âThis one.â
Arielle strode forth and went on inside.
Carterâs eyes dimmed as he watched her silhouette disappear beyond the door. He then pulled out his
phone to make a call.
âWhere are you? Come up to the thirteenth floor and check on your patient right away.â
Vinson frowned when he cast his gaze upon Carter. âWho did you summon?â
âHis attending doctor, Dr. Jankowitsch. It wasnât easy for me to bring him in from overseas.â
Vinson have heard of that distinguished professional, a protege of the Wilhelms who themselves were
considered amongst the top psychologists in the world. This fact alone spoke volumes of the doctorâs
expertise.
However, that gave him a moment for pause.
âIf Arielleâs already looking into it, then what are you getting Jankowitsch over here for?â
Carter shrugged. âWhat else. To have him oversee things and make sure that she doesnât get the patient
killed! Weâre clueless about her level of competency, so I donât think you ought to place too much trust in
her just because sheâs friend of yours. You know how important this fella is and why we need him alive.â
Vinson appeared doubtful but made no comment before he made his way in with the others in tow.
Inside the ward, Arielle began examining the emaciated man lying on the bed using the Four Diagnostic
Methods based on ancient Chanaean medical traditions.
âDisorientation, sluggishness, disharmony and dredging imbalance in the liver, hyper-arousal, palpitation
and other symptoms⦠it does appear to be characteristic of post-traumatic stress disorder.â
The observing Harvey and Jordan clapped enthusiastically in approval. âSpot on, Ms. Moore! Bravo!â
âWe couldnât have known that you also possess such a talent. Weâre mighty impressed!â
Carter twitched his lips as he did not think much of Arielle merely parroting what he had already said
about the patientâs condition.
At this moment, the door to the ward was pushed open.
âDr. Jankowitsch!â Carter hailed the newcomer before he regarded Arielle. âThis is the internationally
renowned Dr. Jankowitsch who studied under the illustrious Wilhelms.â
Arielleâs eyes widened when she heard name âthe Wilhelmsâ mentioned, because they were her adoptive
parents.
