Alas, Turlen was completely closed to outsiders. Vinson had hired a private investigator to help him out but to no avail. Arielle had no idea the opportunity to head there would appear right on her doorstep.
She was inwardly delighted and wanted to say yes, but her rationality stopped her from doing that. Putting on a puzzled look, she asked, “Turlen? I've never heard of it.”
As Turlen was closed off to the outside world, Aaron wasn't surprised that Arielle had no idea of its existence.
“Our country is very advanced and closed to the outside world. It's natural that you've never heard of it.” After a pause, he added, “But we're lacking in the medical industry. Thus, we want the best doctor in the world to teach our doctors.”
With that said, he glanced at Arielle and flashed a smile.
“I'm a doctor whose responsibility is to save lives. I'm willing to head to your country to share my knowledge with the doctors so they could save more lives. But...” she trailed off and turned to her family. “Can you please release them?” Aaron's gaze landed on the family of three tied up. Before coming here, he was informed that the Wilhelms were at the top of their field.
He shook his head. “I'm afraid I can't do that.”
He needed the family of three to make sure Arielle was still under his control. If I release them, and she grabs the chance to escape, I'll have to waste my efforts looking for her again. Besides, Arielle can't teach that many people alone. If the Wilhelms come along, they can help her out.
“Why?” Arielle's brows snapped together in displeasure. “I agreed to follow you to Turlen. Why won't you release my parents?”
“I can untie them, but they have to come to Turlen as well,” he said, and there was a finality to his tone that warned her not to continue testing his limits.
Obviously, Aaron had made up his mind to bring them to Turlen. Since the negotiation fell through, Arielle had no choice but to agree to head to Turlen with her family.
