"Three days ago, right about this time?" The middle-aged man seemed a bit puzzled and took a while to respond, "We were at a wedding in Oakridge City for the son of one of her good friends. At about 8 pm when we were about to leave, her friend said she was having a blast and wanted her to stick around for a few more glasses of fruit wine, which wasn't that strong."
"That's about it." Arabella explained as she treated her, "This type of drug can only be mixed with alcohol. If you put it in mineral water or any other drink, it'll taste funny, and you would sniff it out. But when it's mixed with alcohol, it doesn't change the taste, and that's when it really kicks in."
"You're saying her friend spiked her fruit wine?" The man was even more confused, "But that's impossible. They've been friends for 20 years, keeping in touch all this time."
Arabella didn't bother speculating about other people's business. She just did what she had to do.
"Will my wife be alright?" The man looked at the woman lying on the ground, writhing in pain, curled up. If he could, he'd take on all her pain.
"I'll detox her first." Arabella continued her treatment, "Her stomach's taken a bit of a hit. We'll need to follow up with medication. You can get the meds according to my prescription. I'll write it down before you leave."
The man looked surprised, "Ms. Mirabelle, you're a doctor too?"
Who would have thought this young lady could not only paint and compose music, but she could also save lives.
What a jack of all trades!
"For the next three days, ask her to avoid spicy food. Keep her diet light." Arabella saw that the woman was doing better and stopped the treatment.
"Honey, are you feeling any better?" The man quickly helped the woman up and held her in his arms.
"Much better. It doesn't hurt anymore." The lady was amazed at Arabella's medical skills. She had been in excruciating pain but now felt like she'd sprung back to life, only a little weak.
Arabella put away her tools, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the prescription, dosage, and precautions.
