Chapter 278 Surprise
Soon, Arlo arrived and said, “It’s settled. She agreed to see you. Let’s go inside.”
“She agreed?” Carl laughed and led the way into the neighborhood. “I’m curious to see if this famous doctor is as impressive as you claim.”
“Chase, since you know her, why didn’t you ask her directly?” Arlo said as they walked.
Chase was puzzled. Except for Arlo, he didn’t know any renowned doctors.
He had visited several major hospitals and even sought experts abroad, but none of them were as skilled as Arlo.
Arlo was baffled by his response; he said, “But she knows you. Otherwise, she might not have agreed to see
you
Chase asked, “What’s this doctor’s name?
Arlo kept him in suspense. He said, “You’ll find out soon.”
Hearing that the doctor knew him, Chase’s hopes dimmed. If it was indeed a doctor who had treated him before, it wouldn’t help.
If they couldn’t cure him before, why would they be able to now?
With these thoughts, they reached the villa’s entrance.
When the doorbell rang, the villa’s owner came to get the door for them. When Carl and Chase saw Isabelle, they were stunned.
Chase asked, “It’s you?”
His expression grew complicated. They had a minor conflict earlier in the day and now meet again under such circumstances,
It was somewhat awkward…
Carl recognised Isabelle and asked, “Hey, aren’t you Mr. George’s…? Could he call her his girlfriend?
Half a year had passed; were they even dating?
Arlo interjected, “General Sarratt, do you know Ms. Jenkins?”
So it was indeed her. Isabelle glanced at Carl, understanding why Arlo had personally gone to the gate to fetch them.
If Carl was personally involved, Chase must indeed have a significant background.
“Come in,” Isabelle said, turning to walk inside.
“Would
you like something to drink? Isabelle offered.
Carl replied, “No need to be so formal. We’re just simple folk. If we’re thirsty, we’ll help ourselves to some

He felt reassured when he met Isabelle. If things didn’t go well, he could always shamelessly ask George for help.
“Have a seat,” Isabelle said.
Isabelle sat herself down on the couch. Carl was momentarily taken aback. He had said not to be formal as a courtesy.
He didn’t expect the young lady to take them seriously or even offer them water. However, he found her straightforwardness refreshing and appreciated her boldness.
Carl sat down and said, “I knew it. Anyone close to Mr. George wouldn’t be an ordinary person. I didn’t expect Ms. Jenkins to have such an accomplished family member in medicine.”
But he wondered why he had never heard of them.
Carl looked upstairs and asked, “Can we have your family member come down to check on Chase’s arm?”
Realising the misunderstanding, Arlo was about to clarify.
Isabelle spoke first. “Instructor Dittman, which unit were you
in?”
Why the sudden question?
Carl and Chase exchanged glances.
Chase didn’t answer. After a moment of silence, Carl replied, “Inferno Special Forces.”
His tone was solemn.
Chase frowned slightly, wanting to discuss the daytime incident with Jack. He was curious about Jack’s boss’s identity. Isabelle was now asking about his background. He couldn’t fathom her intentions, leading to suspicion.
Isabelle nodded slightly and said, “Not bad.”
The Inferno Special Forces were Cheshian’s most elite unit. The Inferno Special Forces were significantly superior to the regular special forces. No wonder Jack claimed that if it weren’t for Chase’s old injury, he wouldn’t have stood a chance.
“Oh? Ms. Jenkins knows about them. Carl asked.
Isabelle smiled slightly and said, “I’ve heard a bit.”
She reached for the documents in Chase’s hand and said, “Show me.”
Chase hesitated for a moment but handed over the stack of X–rays and medical reports.
Isabelle examined the X–ray film.
Arlo walked over and explained Chase’s condition in detail.
Carl and Chase exchanged another puzzled glance.
