“He's sick?” Arielle opened her room door and stepped out. Seeing the worried expression on Todd's face, she demanded, “What happened to him? How sick is he?”
Recalling the scene from a while ago, Todd immediately replied, “He's having a stomachache!”
“Take me there!” Arielle was hoping to use Aaron to find her biological father. Hence, she could not sit idly by and do nothing.
“San? What's happened?” The Wilhelms hurried over after hearing the relentless knocks.
Arielle turned to her adoptive parents and shook her head. “It's Aaron. He's having a stomachache. I'm going over to take a look. Don't worry.”
“Do you need our help?” They, too, were doctors. Hence, they could not bear to leave a patient in suffering.
Arielle stared at the couple and thought about it. “Why don't you come with me, Dad? Mom, you can stay back to take care of Pat.”
“San, I want to go too!” Pat did not want to be separated from his sister.
“Be good, Pat. I'll be back in a while.” Arielle pinched Pat's cheeks and promised, “I'll bring you something delicious when I come back.”
It was only when Pat heard there would be good food that he agree to not go along with Arielle.
Soon, they arrived at Aaron's room. The first thing they saw was him clutching his stomach with his body curled in a ball. On top of that, he looked extremely pale.
Arielle and Hubert rushed forward. Looking at Aaron, the former asked, “Does this part hurt?”
As she spoke, she pressed the lower right area of his abdomen.
“Yes!” Aaron replied while enduring the pain.
In reality, he really did not want Arielle to see him in such a humiliating state. Sadly, she was the only one with the best medical skills on the ship.
Arielle turned to Hubert and said, “It's acute appendicitis. He needs surgery.”
