Chapter 786


    She exined, “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 exined, “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 ufortable 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.


    She replied, “She requires at least five treatment sessions. Also, given her need for fresh air, she


    needs a new ce to stay as the pollution from the mine has reached this ce.”


    “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 shoulde 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.


    Coincidentally, the herbs and chicken soup were ready.


    The bowl of herbs tasted bitter and were hard to stomach. The moment Josee tasted it, she spat it out


    right away. After that, she was traumatized by it.


    Finally, after much coaxing from Nigel, Josee finished all of it.


    Meanwhile, Arielle waited quietly by the side. Just when Vinson was about to ask her what she was


    waiting for, Josee began to cough intensely.


    Hack! With a forceful cough, Josee vomited a mouthful of ck-colored blood.


    Arielle heaved a sigh of relief. “After a few more treatments, we will know that your condition is


    improving once the blood isn’t ck anymore.”


    Just as she spoke, Vinson came over with a bowl of chicken soup.


    The soup boiled out of the old hen was thick and yellowish. Since Arielle didn’t like oily soups, she


    waved her hand to decline, “Why don’t I skip this one?”


    Vinson red at her with a darkened expression. “Drink it.”


    At that moment, Arielle empathized with Josee. With a grimacing expression, she finished the soup in


    one go.


    Feeling satisfied, Vinson wiped the corners of her oily mouth with his fingertips and remarked, “It’s


    about time for us to go.”


    “Mmm-hmm.” Turning her head, she blushed when she saw the Lowes grinning at her. She proceeded


    to change the subject. “You guys should pack. We’ll be waiting outside.”


    Before she finished, she was already halfway out the door.


    Beaming at her response, Vinson followed her out.


    The Lowes quickly packed and got into one of the cars behind Arielle.


    Coincidentally, Henrick was inside the trunk of that particr car.
