Cornelius glanced at Queenie helplessly. He would have trusted his sister in the past, but his experiences throughout this period have taught him that even his sister was not trustworthy at times. Nonetheless, he wanted to avoid antagonizing her.
Since she wants to compete for the position as the head of the Mills, I must avoid distracting her from her goal.
“I know. Anyway, good luck, and whenever something happens, try to think it through first before jumping to conclusions.” Cornelius brushed his fingers through Queenie's smooth, silky hair before leaving.
His gentle act elevated Queenie's mood. She was happy that her brother still loved and cared for her.
“Don, bring me that stethoscope...” While instructing Donovan, Queenie pushed the wheelchair over to the patient.
Since Ariclle was away at the moment, Cornelius got Donovan to assist Queenie.
With Arielle gone, Queenie appeared to be more relaxed. She examined the patient in front of her thoroughly and with all seriousness.
Meanwhile, Arielle was being chased away by the elderly lady.
“Why are you following me? Aren't you supposed to go back to Silverbirch Hospital!”
“Ma'am, I'm a doctor, and you’re a patient. It's only natural that I'm here to help you!” Putting on her brightest smile, Arielle ignored the obviously disgruntled elderly lady and held her arm.
“I've already left the hospital. So leave me alone! Hurry back to serve the other patients. Don't waste your time on me!”
The patients in Silverbirch Hospital arrived many days in advance. Knowing the purpose of their visit, the elderly lady didn't want to get in the way of Arielle’s candidacy.
