Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 708

Ariana's expression remained grave. "Is that all?"

The doctor pursed his lips and said, "During infancy, especially around one year old, special care is needed. By the time she reaches two years or older, as long as these issues don't arise, everything should be fine." During infancy, adults generally take very good care of the child, and since the child isn’t moving around much, such issues are unlikely to occur.

Especially in a family like the Stone family.

Once the child is over a year old, just a little attention to these issues should suffice.

Ariana's face was silent, saying nothing.

The doctor sneaked a glance at Ariana, then cleared his throat and said, "Additionally, try to avoid even minor colds during infancy."

Ariana felt a chill in her heart.

But she knew she couldn't take out her frustrations on others, so after the doctor finished speaking, she nodded gently, "I understand. Thank you."

The doctor quickly waved his hand, "You're welcome, it's my duty. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. If you need anything, just press the call button."

Ariana: "Mm."

Ariana's lack of blame earned the doctor's great respect.

It's important to know that doctors in private medical teams are akin to royal physicians in ancient times. If anything goes wrong, they are the ones to bear the brunt. But the high salaries offered by such large corporate private medical teams make it worthwhile, so even if they are blamed, they simply have to accept it.

After all, in the worst-case scenario, it would just mean being fired, unlike ancient royal physicians who faced life-threatening risks.

As long as they get paid, it's fine.

Even though he held this belief, seeing the matriarch of this conglomerate handle the situation with such rational composure without lashing out made him feel a lot of respect for her.

If all elite families had such qualities, how great would that be?

Once the doctor had completely left, Ariana's face truly darkened.

She lowered her head, looking deeply at her daughter for a long moment, and finally managed to hold back the heat welling up in her eyes, gently, very gently, touching her daughter's small face.

At this moment, there was suddenly a knock on the door.

Ariana said coldly, "Come in."

The bodyguard outside came in and respectfully said to Ariana, "Madam, there is a lady outside who wishes to see you. She says she is Kendra from the Harper Group and would like to meet with you."

Ariana's eyes flashed initially, then she said coldly, "Just tell her I don't have time, and let her find Lambert."

The bodyguard nodded and backed out. However, shortly after, he returned looking a bit troubled and said to Ariana, "Madam... that lady said she only wants to see you." Initially, the bodyguard didn't want to report again, but the lady persistently involved him in her requests.

And he was clear about the status of the Harper Group, so he endured potential reprimand to report one last time.

Ariana was silent for a while, then curved her lips into a smile, which might have been mocking, and said calmly, "Let her in then."

The bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes."

The private hospital room of the Stone family was just like a luxurious suite in a hotel.

There was a kitchen, bathroom, and everything else.

Ariana had the nurse push Grace into the inner room of the hospital ward, afraid that her conversation with Kendra might disturb her daughter. She had nearly figured out Kendra's purpose. If she hadn't guessed wrong, it was definitely to plead for Irene.

Even if not, it was likely about the matters between the Harper Group and the Stone family.

Ariana has never been the type to mix personal matters with business.

Looking at this daughter whose demeanor was much like her own personality, Kendra was unsure whether to be pleased or pained.

She slowly sat down and spoke quietly, "I came today to apologize to you, Mrs. Stone. I'm sorry about the incident; I wasn't aware of it beforehand. If I had known, I certainly wouldn’t have let Irene do such a thing. I know saying more won't make up for my mistake, but I still wanted to come and apologize. I'm truly saddened and remorseful about the child's situation."

Kendra wasn't even sure what she was saying.

Her voice was hoarse as she spoke, her gaze unwaveringly fixed on her daughter.

She looked at her.

Staring at that cold face and that young resemblance to herself, Kendra felt momentarily dazed. Intense pain emanated from her chest as she fiercely suppressed her emotions, pretending to be a stranger while staring unblinkingly at Ariana's face.

As if wanting to etch her deeply and forever into her memory.

Upon hearing this, Ariana laughed.

But that hint of laughter did not reach her eyes.

She said, "Didn't Miss Kendrick pay the price? This matter is already in the past. If Mrs. Harper has other intentions, please find my husband. I'm not in good health and cannot accompany you any further." With that, Ariana prepared to stand up.

Kendra was momentarily stunned and instinctively called out, "Ari."

Ariana: "..." She turned her head with some confusion to look at Kendra.

Realizing her slip of the tongue, Kendra steadied herself and was about to speak when a phone started ringing. Ariana frowned, apologized to Kendra, and then answered the phone. It was from an unfamiliar number.

Ariana's eyes flickered, but she answered it anyway.

"Ariana, is Kendra with you?" The caller was none other than Georgia.
