Chapter 871
The fifty-year-old Doctor Franklin adjusted his glasses and raised his head to look at Arianna. He did not lose his temper at Arianna’s
insolence. Instead, it was as if he had expected it. "Ms. Tanner, your uncle’s situation is a bit special. He didn't need my permission to leave,
nor was I even given the right to discharge him."
"So, you're saying you don't want to take responsibility for this?" Arianna asked as she narrowed her gaze at him.
"Ms. Tanner, I assure you everything went according to our procedures. Since the family had requested me to discharge the patient and the
patient had also agreed, there was nothing we could do to stop them since they've signed the disclaimers." He finished, took out the legal
documents from his shelf, and threw them onto his desk.
Arianna hurriedly looked through them and noticed that Stephanie had signed them with her uncle's crooked signature. "How long have they
been gone?" She gritted her teeth and asked as she placed her hands on the table.
"About two days ago," Franklin answered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Two days ago?!" Derrick got discharged before Damian reappeared and turned himself in. 'It looked like these two incidents are somehow
connected after all.'
"Who came to pick him up from the hospital?" She continued asking.
"I'm sorry, we don’t know. However, there were quite a handful of people who came. After all, when Mr.
Tanner first came to our hospital, he brought many along. The Tanner family is a reputable family, and
your connections are vast, so it is not surprising that we don't know every one of your connections,
correct?" Franklin clarified.
Arianna knew he was pulling her leg but chose not to press the subject. Instead, she thought for a
moment before asking, 'Then, did my uncle say where he was going?"
Franklin just smiled. "I honestly don't know the answer to this question, but I'm guessing most patients
would probably choose to go home after being discharged. Since you're so worried about your uncle,
Ms. Tanner, I suggest you check on him at his place."
Arianna nodded and stood up. "I understand. Thank you for your help, Doctor Franklin."
'This sly fox is probably one of Uncle Derrick's lackeys too! I don't know how much truth there was to
what he just told me.'
Although that was why Arianna thought, Franklin did remind her that she had not checked the Tanner
residence yet. Since that was the case, she should make sure whether or not they were back there.
"Mom, let's go to Uncle Derrick's house." After leaving the hospital, the mother-daughter duo got into
Arianna's car. Arianna started the engine and was about to drive to her uncle's place when Eloise
immediately held her and stopped her.
Eloise shook her head and took out her phone to make a call, "Did they come home? Okay, I
understand."
"Your uncle isn't home," Eloise hung up and told Arianna firmly. Arianna had forgotten that her mother
had a close relationship with Derrick's family. It was natural that Eloise had some connections within
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtheir family and only had to call to obtain information about them.
'If Uncle Derrick and Aunt Stephanie didn't go home, where could they be?'
"Mom, since they're not home and they've already left the hospital, this could only mean they've planned this for me. They want to deceive
me," Arianna concluded.
"Don't overthink. Why would your aunt and uncle want to deceive you? Does that mean they were aware of your intentions all along?" Eloise
patted Arianna's hand gently and comforted her, 'That's probably not the case. It just means that your uncle had taken precautions and
deliberately avoided US. Also, I'm curious about something else."
"What is it?"
"Your uncle, was he truly that sick?" Eloise sighed as she thought about everything that had happened in the hospital. "Or was it all just his
plan from the beginning?"
"If that's true, he is a terrifying person." Arianna could not help but break into a cold sweat as she thought of seeing him acting all feeble and
sick. She had even witnessed the doctors performing emergency procedures on him while Stephanie cried a river.
Derrick even went as far as to make a will, and Arianna disrespected him because she thought he was dying.
