A Beauty with Multiple Masks novel Chapter 117

As Arielle was unfamiliar with the innumerous students that they mentored, she was a little concerned about being recognized. Klaus’ expression was indecipherable under his surgical mask. He extended a hand and greeted her in Ustranasion, “Hello, I’m Dr. Jankowitsch. Are you the patient’s family?” Arielle sighed in relief that he did not recognize her. She was about to reply when Carter interjected. “Do you understand Ustranasion, Ms. Moore?

He’s extending a greeting to you. I can help translate if you can’t.” He did not think her Ustranasion would be any good, considering that she grew up in the countryside. But to Carter’s astonishment, Arielle started to converse fluently with Klaus in Ustranasion while also interspersing their exchange with some profound terminology like “acupuncture”, “moxibustion” and “neurasthenia” which stumped him.

Not only did Arielle understand Ustranasion, her command of the language might even surpass that of those specialists who tutored him at home throughout his formative years. Carter could feel his own face burning up. Just as Carter was mired in self-conflict, he heard Vinson whisper in his ear, “Didn’t I tell you not to underestimate women?” Never mind speaking Ustranasion, women could literally carve out his face when they got serious.

He now highly doubted that Arielle grew up in the rural areas, and became convinced that there was more to her than just her revenge motive. Carter took in a deep drawl to settle his own emotions. He supposed that some people just had a knack for picking up languages. On top of it, with her own mother being Jadeborough’s previously heralded Maureen Moore, it should come as no surprise that Arielle could be so accomplished at spoken Ustranasion.

Hence, he paid little more attention to it. Being good at Ustranasion doesn’t mean one will also be a skilled medical practitioner. Like she said, she has only a limited understanding of the affliction, so when she does fail to cure the patient, she’ll only end up embarrassing herself. Of course, Carter had nothing personal against Arielle. It was just traditional Chanaean medicine that he was skeptical about. Hailing from a family of modern healthcare providers, his aversion to traditional Chanaean medicine was inherent.

“And her proposal is?” asked Carter uncertainly, as he was unable to grasp what Arielle said in Ustranasion. Klaus pointed at the unconscious man. “She has suggested using traditional Chanaean medicine’s acupuncture approach in conjunction with repeated application of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation…”

Carter did not understand the latter half of what he heard. “Could we treat mental illnesses with just acupuncture? Then, what use is there for the multitude of medications available in modern medicine?”
