Ariah didn't sleep well all night. The next day, she was woken up by a call.
With a blurry vision, she squinted at the caller ID for a long time before picking it up. "Hello..."
"It's me." Kobi's voice came from the phone. "Haven't you woken up yet?"
"I just woke up." Ariah felt her throat was a little uncomfortable and cleared her throat. "Why did you call me all of a sudden?"
"Why do you sound like you have a sore throat?"
"Ah, I'm fine." Ariah smiled. "I probably caught a cold yesterday. Anyway, what are you calling me for?"
"Have you forgotten about our arrangement last night?"
An arrangement?
Ariah thought about it carefully for a while before she understood what he meant. "You're free now, aren't you?"
"Yep, I'm free all day."
"Cool, I'll give Anna a call. If she's willing to get a consultation today, I'll bring her to see you later."
After making an appointment with Kobi, Ariah dialed Anna's number. The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. "Hey..."
"Anna, it's me."
A while later, Anna's cold laughter rang out. "What? Are you calling to check if I'm still alive?"
Ignoring the sarcasm in her tone, Ariah said, "I've found you an expert in this field. If you're free, come to the hospital today."
Upon saying that, Ariah hung up as she didn't want to waste her time explaining any further.
Besides, she felt quite dizzy now. She was probably getting a cold.
In the past few years, she had always been in good condition and hardly got ill.
Surprisingly, last night's fight with Jimmy had caused her to catch a cold.
Thinking about that b*stard, Ariah couldn't help but grit her teeth.
She had never realized that he was such a petty man who liked to hold grudges. How could he leave her after she had confessed everything truthfully?
With a sigh, Ariah got up and went to wash up. Before leaving home, she called Jimmy, but he didn't answer still.
She was very angry but went to work, anyway...
An hour later, when she arrived at the hospital, she saw Anna waiting for her from afar. Ariah slowly walked over and Anna snorted. "You said there's a way to cure my disease? What is it?"
Ariah just signalled her to follow. "Come with me."
Seeing the smug look on Ariah, Anna was frustrated. However, she had no choice but to follow.
Upon entering her office, Ariah didn't treat her like a patient. Instead, she said casually, "There's a sofa over there. If you wanna drink water, then go and get some in the kitchen."
Then, she ignored Anna and started busying herself with her own matters.
Seeing that, Anna couldn't help saying, "Hey, I'm your patient. How can you just leave me by myself?"
Instantly, Ariah looked up from the documents in surprise. "Since when are you my patient? I've made it very clear on the phone. I've found you a specialist, so it's not me who's treating you."
With a snort, she then added, "You're free to leave if you don't wanna get the treatment."
Anna glared at her. "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Leaning back, Ariah looked at her calmly. "What do you mean?"
"You're trying to humiliate me! You know that my illness is dependent on you, so you could act however you want! You must be quite amused to see me begging you now, don't you?"
