Chapter 870
"Where is he? Where is everyone?" Arianne’s mind went blank as she stumbled backward. Looking at the empty ward rooms, she had a bad
feeling about this.
Coincidentally, a nurse walked by. Arianna grabbed her by the collar and questioned fiercely, 'Where are they?! Where did the patient and his
caregiver go?!"
The nurse was frightened as she stuttered, 'T-They l-left!"
"Since when? When were they discharged? How could he leave the hospital when he was so sick?! Besides, why didn't you inform his
family? Who allowed him to leave?!" Arianna was hysterical as she tightened her grip on the nurse’s uniform collar.
The poor nurse was almost choking, "l-l don't k-know!"
"Ari! Ari, what do you think you're doing?!" Eloise was shocked when she saw what her daughter was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdoing. She immediately stepped forward and separated Arianna from the nurse.
When the nurse regained her freedom, she held her neck and ran away in horror.
Arianna pointed toward the room and said, "Mom, Uncle Derrick is gone. How can the doctor possibly
discharge him? He was already about to die! Even if he got out, it would only be to the morgue."
Arianna could not believe what was happening.
"Ari, you need to calm down. There’s something wrong here! Where are the people you've sent to keep
an eye on Derrick and Stephanie?" Eloise was just as shocked. However, due to her age, she was
more experienced at handling her emotions and forced herself to calm down and think.
"I don’t know. I did not receive any information from them. Maybe they've betrayed me?" Arianna's eyes
had lost their sparkle, as she had never felt this lost in her entire life.
Derrick had left the hospital, and she had lost whatever leverage she had against him. It could only
mean Derrick was most likely the one behind
everything, including drafting his will before Arianna's eyes and instructing Damian to surrender to the
police.
'He orchestrated everything to trick me! Uncle Derrick isn't dying at all!’
"Enough! Let’s try to make a call and ask," Eloise suggested.
Arianna took her phone stiffly and made the call. After it rang for a while, no one on the other side
answered, and the dialing tone ended. Her eyes darkened. "See? I told you so!"
"Since this is something out of the ordinary, we must consider a countermeasure. Let’s call your father
and see if he knows anything about this,” Eloise suggested after thinking for a few seconds.
"Dad?" Arianna laughed mockingly and shook her head, "He probably doesn't even want to acknowledge my existence now. Also, he would
most likely be the one to rejoice at my downfall. Maybe he was even partially responsible for this. All that matters to him is his precious son
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanyway."
"Ari, stop making matters worse. Aside from your uncle missing, we don’t know the entire situation yet, so don’t panic! Listen to me, and call
your father to see if he has any information about this. After that, we'll discuss what we should do next."
Arianna started to calm down after listening to her mother's advice. After some thought, she agreed to Eloise’s suggestion as she had no
better options.
However, she decided to do something else first before making the call. " Mom, can you give me a moment? There's something I need to
check." She finished, turned around abruptly, and started walking away.
Eloise was taken aback but decided not to question her daughter-instead, she quickly followed behind Arianna.
Arianna got to the chief doctor's office and went inside without knocking," Doctor Franklin, were you the one who permitted my uncle's
release?"
