Chapter 1463
As she wandered, she found herself lingering near the director's office.
Despite the door being slightly ajar, Ariana recalled the previous incident and resisted the temptation to snoop.
Just as she was about to walk away, a faint cry for help reached her ears from inside the office.
A momentary pause enveloped Ariana as she pondered whether she had misinterpreted the faint cry for help
before it resurfaced.
The voice sounded muffled, causing Ariana to hesitate momentarily before deciding that a quick glance inside
wouldn't cause any harm.
Moving closer, Ariana peeked inside and saw Dr.
Larson on the floor, his expression twisted in discomfort.
She hurried to his side.

“Dr.
Larson, what happened?”
She called out for assistance immediately.
Dr.
Larson managed to utter a single word, “Hungry...”
“What?” Ariana struggled to hear him clearly.
Dr.
Larson repeated with a shaky voice, “Hungry! | need food!”
He exerted himself to articulate his needs.
Ariana grasped the situation and couldn't help but feel resigned.
Could it be that Dr.
Larson had simply fainted due to hunger?
She swiftly assisted him to a nearby couch before hurrying to feed him shoney water and an energy drink to
elevate his blood sugar levels.
“Stay put for a moment; I'll fetch you sfood,” she assured him.
Dr.
Larson nodded feebly, prompting Ariana to rush to a nearby diner to collect a takeout order.
Upon returning, she placed the food before him, and its aroma seemed to rejuvenate him as he eagerly sat up
and devoured it.
Ariana observed his voracious eating with surprise.
Handing him a glass of water, she asked in disbelief, “How long has it been since you last ate?”

“For two whole days and nights,” Dr.
Larson replied between mouthfuls.
“I got engrossed in challenging research.
It's formidable, but once it’s conquered, it'll be groundbreaking.
I'm committed to mastering it.
Ariana listened to his ongoing talk, noticing that he appeared to be handling the project independently, without
any support staff.
Puzzled, she felt he warranted assistance, considering his role as the director and the hospital's evident
achievements.
Aware of his peculiar temperament, she cautiously inquired, “What about your son? Initially, he handled your
accounts.
Why not let him help you with this? Also, with the hospital's staff, you can find an assistant to take care of you.
