Chapter 786
She explained, “Given that you stay deep in the hills where the air is fresh, and the fact that she doesn’t smoke, it is unlikely for her to get lung cancer. However, don’t forget that the mines create a lot of pollution. Let me guess, did Josee work in the mine when she was still healthy? As for the other miners, do many of them smoke?”
Nigel nodded. “Yes, my wife worked as a cook there. During mealtimes, the miners would smoke while they
gathered and rest.”
“Precisely.” Arielle explained, “Over time, breathing in all the secondhand smoke and dust from the mine will cause lung cancer. Moreover, given the working conditions, Henrick should have provided his workers with masks and health check-ups. Unfortunately, he isn’t someone that would do that.”
“I see. So that’s what happened…”
While both of them were still chatting, Josee finally woke up.
“Josee, how do you feel?” Nigel hurried to her side.
Taking a deep breath, she noticed the uncomfortable sensation in her chest had been alleviated.
When she reported what she felt, Nigel dropped to his knees right away.
“Ms. Moore, you really are a miracle doctor. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!”
Feeling embarrassed, Arielle quickly got Vinson to help Nigel up.

“I… I’ll move at once deeper into the hills.”
After giving it some thought, Arielle suggested to Vinson, “Why don’t we take them back with us to Jadeborough? I can treat her with acupuncture and herbs. After that, we can send her to Carter’s hospital for radiotherapy.”
Vinson nodded. “Sure. Not a problem at all.”
“It’s decided then!” Looking at the Lowes, Arielle asserted, “You should come to Jadeborough with us.”
Worried that they would be imposing themselves, Josee and Nigel declined right away. However, they finally agreed after much persuasion from Arielle.
