A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 287
The trap has been sprung, and these fools have fallen into it. “Yes, I grew up in the village,” she said with a nod as they had rehearsed. “From where could I have learned medicine? It was a while ago when Vinson brought me to meet Carter that we coincidentally saw Dr. Jankowitsch saving somebody’s life. I thought it was interesting, so I learned a couple of moves from him. I didn’t expect to put it into use one day!”
Henrick appeared satisfied with the explanation
as his suspicion toward Arielle decreased visibly.
Russell, on the other hand, was in awe. “If you were able to save my life with just a couple of moves, Dr. Jankowitsch’s skills must be
formidable.”
“Yes, they are,” said Arielle with a smile. “However, the Wilhelms are even better. Mr. Actonward, you actually owe your gratitude to Dr. Jankowitsch and the Wilhelms. Not to me”
Russell nodded, his gaze toward Arielle dipped in admiration as he did not attempt to conceal his disappointment.
I have gone out of my way to attend the funeral just to be able to meet my savior. If I knew that Arielle had learned it from somebody else, wouldn‘t have come here to waste my breath.
Russell cleared his throat. “I’ve overstayed my
welcome,” he told Henrick. “I must be going. Goodbye, all.”
“Thank you for coming. Let me see you out.” Henrick departed with Russell.
When he returned, Arielle was pleased to see Henrick smiling again. Though she heaved a sigh of relief, she did not let her guard down.
“Sannie, Mr. Nightshire, how was your Wedding?” Henrick asked, appearing in the best of spirits.
Arielle showed him her marriage certificate, looking like a young girl deep in love. “Dad, look. This is my marriage certificate.”
