The doctors' eyes that were once full of respect for Arielle now had a hint of contempt in them.
As a doctor, helping the injured and the sick was supposed to be their job. Yet, she was asking for money from a patient who had just woken up.
She was tarnishing their careers by doing so.
It didn't matter how good her medical skills were, as it wasn't enough to cover up a taint like this.
Just as they were about to criticize her, Arielle said coldly, “Do you really think I want money? I saved your life, so you better tell me the truth.”
Everyone was shocked by her words. However, the young man's eyes widened when he heard what she said, panic surfacing on his face.
The woman caught the change in expression on his face and was convinced that her hunch was right.
This young man had ingested the poison himself and blamed it on Soir Coffee. It's also obvious that his snobbish brother knew of this too.
“Does your mother not know what you and your brother planned?” Arielle asked coldly.
“I...” The patient didn't dare to meet eyes with her, as it seemed like she could read right through him.
He looked away and came up with an excuse to brush her off, “I don't know what you're talking about. I'm tired. I'd like to get some rest.”
“Rest?” Arielle raised a brow and continued, “It seems like you have no idea of your mother's condition. She fainted when she found out that you were in danger. I wonder if she finally woke up.
