Chapter 556
Carter parted his lips in dismay, not knowing what else to say.
Though it was common knowledge that the customer was in a critical state all the while, the news still gave him a shock.
Oh my God, I didn’t expect things to be this bad! The chances of saving someone who had a cardiac arrest are slim. Can Arielle do it?
Carter couldn’t stop anxiety from overwhelming his heart. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Arielle, but the chances of resuscitating a dead person were practically next to none.
He gave Vinson a worried glance. “Since he had a cardiac arrest, we need to prepare for the worst.”
“No need.” Vinson met his gaze. “We’ll wait for Arielle.”
“Wait, didn’t you say his heart had stopped beating? Can she resuscitate the dead?”
“Well, I’ve witnessed that firsthand,” Vinson revealed calmly.
Back then, when Yvette’s father, Russell, suffered from a stroke, everyone thought he was dead. Even so, Arielle managed to save his life. She had successfully resuscitated the dead once.
Hence, he told the story of how she saved Russell.
Carter felt pumped after hearing it.
She did the impossible!
“Indeed, she’s amazing,” he muttered. “But if that’s the case, why do you look more uneasy than I do?”
“I’m not worried about this,” Vinson clarified solemnly. “I’m concerned that Arielle’s intervention will make her a target of the culprit.”.
The recipient of his concern had always been Arielle.
Carter nodded in understanding. He patted Vinson’s shoulder and said, “If that’s what you’re worried about, you can relax. She’s capable of protecting herself. Besides, we’ll do our very best to protect her. She’ll be fine.”
Alas, Vinson’s apprehension remained.
Two explosion incidents had happened, so he refused to let his guard down.
After a brief silence, Vinson said, “After Toni and Andy’s funeral, I’ll station both Sasha and Blake by Arielle’s side.”
Carter parted his lips to convince his friend that both Sasha and Blake were capable and loyal to him, and they should be protecting him instead.
In the end, he thought the better and nodded in agreement. “They are your bodyguards, anyway. You
can make your own arrangements.”
In a way, he had finally accepted Arielle as one of their
own.
I don’t want Arielle to get dragged into our mess.
Meanwhile, inside the emergency room.
Arielle took the surgical gown from the surgeon’s assistant and went into the changing room to change her clothes.
The doctors surrounding the operating table shared curious glances. They were well-known surgeons from all over Chanaea, and Vinson had gathered them here.
One doctor questioned, “Is she really a doctor?”
After all, Arielle’s age, temperament, and the way she was dressed didn’t look like one.
Zachary gave a rather awkward nod. “Mr. Nightshire said she’s a doctor. Right, let’s prepare the cardiac pacemaker and try to revive him one last time.”
“All right!” The other doctors nodded and got to work.
Though his heart had stopped beating, it didn’t mean that he was dead. He would only be pronounced dead legally the moment his brain stopped working.
They still had a chance of reviving him!
By the time Arielle stepped out in her surgical gown, the cardiac pacemaker was ready.
