Chapter 416

Penulis: Tightrope
Ariel was stunned for a moment.

After all, she had been convincing herself to accept the reality of needing a full hysterectomy.

Liam could tell she was shaken. He knew that a patient who had suffered both physically and mentally needed comfort, but he still had to lay out all the risks and consequences clearly.

Softening his voice, he said, "But it'll take coordination on several fronts, and the risks are relatively high. I'm currently developing a new medication with a team overseas.

"It's still in the trial stage, and the earliest it could be ready for clinical use is in about two months. But if you trust me, I can start treating you first. The main goal is to avoid removal unless it's absolutely necessary."

Ariel's mind raced.

This was her body. She'd be the one bearing the risks. She needed to think it through.

While Ariel stayed silent, Liam looked at her and asked, "Can you give me some time?"

Once the medication was ready for clinical use, he could do his best to preser

    Upon hearing that, Nancy finally felt a bit of relief from the frustration she had been feeling earlier while struggling to grasp the dense content of the session."It's nothing," she said lightly. "I came mainly to learn."Renee was about to say more when she caught a glimpse of Ariel on Nancy's screen as it turned.Surprised, she called out, "Ariel?"Ariel heard her name. She looked over calmly but said nothing.When she didn't respond, Renee gave a small huff, then turned to ask Nancy, "What's she doing there?"Nancy shut her notebook and replied coolly, "No idea."The words came out casual, but the tone carried a clear implication—who knew what she did to get in?Ariel was sitting right next to Nancy. Of course she heard every word. She also understood exactly what Nancy was trying to suggest.Clicking her pen shut, she said, "How I got here doesn't matter. But I know how you got in."Nancy's gaze suddenly sharpened. She frowned, and the smile that had just lingered on he

    Ariel glanced to the side, then turned her attention back to the notebook she had prepared.Chad was surprised to see Nancy sitting there too.By the usual standards, Nancy was just considered a promising talent from a top university. Especially since she had applied on her own, there was no way she should have ended up in the second row.So…His gaze landed on Jayson, who had just taken his seat in the front row.It didn't take much guessing.With someone like Jayson pulling strings, of course Nancy could be bumped closer to the front.Chad looked at Ariel. Luckily, she didn't seem affected by who was sitting next to her. She had her head down, focused on her notes.Nancy didn't exactly love sitting beside Ariel either, but she didn't feel awkward about it. If anyone should feel out of place, it would be Ariel, who came into the field out of nowhere.Still, Nancy had to admit Ariel was undeniably sharp in certain areas. That whole "plagiarism" scandal involving Veyo Solutions

    The flower sat quietly on the table.Chad and Nancy didn't look over at Jayson and Nancy at the nearby table either.On their end, Jayson wrapped up an overseas work call, left a tip, and got to his feet.Nancy had to head back to organize some of the academic conference materials, so she walked out with him, holding that flower.When they passed by the table Ariel and Chad had just vacated, Jayson caught sight of the flower still sitting exactly where it had been left.He glanced at it briefly, then looked away and kept walking.Nancy noticed it too and barely reacted.To her, Ariel's gesture felt more like a last-ditch effort to hang on to some shred of pride. It was pointless.…Back in the hotel room, Ariel and Chad joined a video call with Janice back in their home country.It was the middle of the night there, but Janice was a night owl and didn't seem to mind. In fact, she was in high spirits and asked Ariel to bring back some handbags and clothes for her.…Ariel ha

    Ariel was momentarily speechless. It took her a couple of seconds to process what Samson had just said.To her, it came out of nowhere. She barely knew Samson, and they hadn't even met that many times. And now, he was suddenly expressing interest?Samson said, "I just meant that if you need anything, you can just call me. After all, being in a foreign country can be a hassle. Don't feel pressured by my words. Don't let it affect your judgment, and don't feel uneasy."Just interact with me in whatever way feels most comfortable to you. Alright then, Ariel. Let's talk next time."Samson spoke at an even pace, but there was a quiet intensity in his words. He made no effort to hide how he felt.Before Ariel could rack her brain for a polite way to turn him down without making things awkward, he hung up on his own.It felt like he simply wanted to let her know how he felt without expecting any response from her right now.Ariel stared at the screen, still a little stunned.Samson ha

    "They're staying at the same hotel," Chad said. "It's the official hotel for the conference. If it makes you uncomfortable, I can ask the organizers to move us somewhere else."He really was being considerate. They had flown in for work, but it was also supposed to be a bit of a breather.Ariel shook her head. "No need. It's not like they have anything to do with me. We'll be behind closed doors anyway. Let them do whatever they want."Just as she finished speaking, Jayson and Nancy sat down a few tables away.The line between them couldn't have been clearer.They had only just sat down when a little girl with braided hair walked over to Jayson. She was holding a bouquet of neatly trimmed roses and looked a little shy as she offered him one."Sir, would you like to give this flower to your girlfriend?"Jayson looked down at her.Nancy instinctively glanced at Jayson and couldn't help but laugh a little before asking the girl, "Why?"The little girl had slightly tanned skin.A
