Chapter 785
“Ms. Moore, is what you say really true?” Grabbing Arielle‘s hand in disbelief, Josee asked in desperation, “I don‘t have to die?”
“Of course. You don‘t have to die, and I‘m not going to allow it to happen.”
Holding her face, Josee broke into tears.
Meanwhile, Nigel, who was calmer, asked awkwardly, “In that case Ms. Moore, how much are your fees?”
“Fees?” Arielle answered with a smile, “I already told you that I am repaying the
favor Teddy did me. Treating your wife is what I‘m obliged to do for Teddy. Therefore, it will be free of charge. However, if it makes you feel better, you can get Teddy to pay me
The moment both of them heard Arielle‘s suggestion, they chose the latter at once.

“At a boy, Teddy!” Arielle stroked Teddy‘s bare head and replied, “In that case, let‘s start the first treatment now.”
“Sure, sure.” Josee and Nigel nodded repeatedly.
After instructing Vinson on how to prepare the herbs, Arielle helped Josee into her bedroom.
Taking out her needle pouch, she spread the silver-plated needles out one by one before treating Josee with acupuncture.
Although Vinson was concerned with what Arielle was doing, he didn‘t say a word. Instead, he went into the kitchen to prepare a saline solution for her.
Every time Arielle used her needles for treatment, it would put a strain on her body. Subsequently, she would need a few days of rest to
recover. Therefore, he needed to be prepared just in case she faints.
While Vinson was preparing the herbs and saline solution in the kitchen, Arielle was in the bedroom treating Josee.
When Nigel saw how thick and long the needles were, it sent a shiver down his spine.
However, he took comfort in Arielle‘s calm and steady demeanor.
Ten minutes later, Arielle had inserted all the needles into their respective acupuncture points. Just when she was feeling feeble, a bowl of saline solution appeared in front of he
Trailing the hand that had brought it, Arielle‘s gaze met with Vinson‘s gentle looking obsidian eyes.
Breaking into a smile, she finished the saline solution in one gulp.
The drink was great for rehydration and replenishing her strength. After resting for a short while, she felt reinvigorated.
While Josee had fallen asleep, Nigel gave Arielle an apologetic look and remarked, “Ms. Moore, I really don‘t know how I should thank you.”
“Don‘t worry about it. I‘ll be done shortly.”
Nigel nodded in response. After pondering for a moment, he instructed Teddy, “Teddy, kill the old hen in our home and make Ms. Moore some soup. It will act as a tonic.”
“You don‘t have to do that,” Arielle declined at once. Rube had told her that the Lowes only had one old hen used for laying eggs. The eggs were considered
a crucial part of their daily meal.

Given how adamant Nigel was, Arielle had no choice but to accept.
After Teddy went off to prepare the chicken soup, Nigel couldn‘t help but ask, “Ms. Moore, how did my wife get lung cancer out of nowhere? She has
always been strong until the past year when she suddenly became weak.”
“It‘s all because of Henrick.” Arielle expression darkened.
Shocked, Nigel questioned angrily, “Are you saying that Henrick poisoned my wife?”
“I don‘t mean that.” Arielle waved her hands at once.
