Chapter 287


    The trap has been sprung, and these fools have fallen into it. “Yes, I grew up in the vige,” 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 exnation 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 havee here to waste my breath.


    Russell cleared his throat. “I’ve overstayed my


    wee,” he told Henrick. “I must be going. Goodbye, all.”


    “Thank you foring. 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.”


    “Excellent.” Henrick smiled contentedly at the sight of the certificate. He took it and studied it for a long


    time before returning it reluctantly to her.


    “Would you like to spend the night here, Vinson?” Henrick turned suddenly to address Vinson


    Arielle’s smile froze. Henrick is going too fast with this, isn‘t he?


    It didn‘t take long for him to be on a first–name basis with Vinson.


    Besides, does Vinson staying over mean that/ have to share my room with him?


    Arielle turned to give Vinson a warning look, hinting that he should find an excuse to reject.


    Vinson did not even look at her. “I would love to. On our way over, Sannie was saying that she did not


    dare to sleep alone. As her husband, I must oblige her.”


    Arielle wanted nothing more than to yell at him, but there was nothing she could do in front of Henrick


    besides maintain her fake smile.


    Henrick’s smile widened even further. “Then I’ll have the servants clean Sannie’s bedroom and put in a


    larger bed for your stay. We will move her to arger room in the future for your convenience should


    you choose to visit.”C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    “Thank you, Dad.”


    Henrickughed heartily at being greeted in such a manner by Vinson.


    Arielle nced at Vinson, bewildered. This fellow seems to be getting into character really quickly


    At that moment, a servant came running down the stairs. “Mr. Southall, the lunch that we brought up to


    Mrs. Southall was smashed to pieces by her. Would you like toe up and have a look?”


    Henrick scowled. “Leave her alone if she doesn’t want to eat,” he grumbled. “She will eat


    when she’s hungry. Let’s see how long she keeps this madness up.”
