The Unveiling of Secret Queen-Chapter 21: Narrow Path Encounter_1

Audrick Zachmann’s mouth was so agape he could have swallowed an egg, "You’re saying... Nathalie?!"

Nathalie could swim? How did he not know?

Amadeus Yancey took off his coat and gave it to Ghania Quinlan, revealing a black, low-necked sweater underneath. A patch of snow-white skin was visible at his collar, his collarbones were sensually prominent, and his deep-set eyes made him striking enough to stand out in a crowd.

"Nathalie’s neck was scratched by Edric. I plan to take her to the hospital."

Audrick Zachmann, looking at the injuries on Nathalie Quinlan’s neck and feeling a flood of sympathy, said without a second thought, "I’ll go with you! I’ll go get the car right now!"

The originally reluctant Ghania Quinlan: "..."

So no one asks for her opinion?

...

City Hospital’s emergency department was always overcrowded, with people registering stretching from inside the hospital almost out to the corridor. Amadeus Yancey seemed to know someone at City Hospital; he didn’t go through the outpatient department but took Ghania Quinlan directly to South Garden.

South Garden is a VIP area. Ghania Quinlan had often come here for medical visits in the past. The fees here were more expensive than in the outpatient department, but that didn’t matter when there was no way to get a doctor’s appointment.

Once they reached the first floor.

Audrick Zachmann went out to make a phone call.

Someone hurried over from the hospital, said something to Amadeus Yancey, and then he turned back to her and said, "Wait here for me, I’ll be right back."

Nathalie Quinlan didn’t mind; she nodded and found a quiet corner to kill time with a medical science pamphlet she picked up at random from a shelf.

Unnoticed, Zayn Fisher, Ghania Quinlan, and Jane Bailey’s group came downstairs.

Jane Bailey, with sharp eyes, spotted Nathalie Quinlan standing in the corner of the lobby from afar, and pointing at her, exclaimed in surprise, "Ghania, isn’t that Nathalie there?"

Ghania Quinlan had just been taken by Zayn Fisher to see her regular doctor, who had symbolically prescribed her a calming traditional medicine.

Her complexion had been rosy, but upon seeing Nathalie Quinlan, it soured, inadvertently tightening her grip on Zayn Fisher’s arm. With a soft voice, she asked, "Why is my sister here, too?"

Zayn Fisher also saw the girl in the corner, looking down at the pamphlet, the sun revealing even the fine hairs on her face, her wrist holding the pamphlet pale and slender, her long neck tilted slightly forward, and even from this distance, he could see her lash line drooping like tiny fans...

Nathalie Quinlan’s beauty was vibrant and had an edge to it!

Unlike Ghania Quinlan, who seemed in need of protection, she was different.

Her kind of beauty was too wild to tame!

He always felt he couldn’t quite grasp her, and she was always just out of reach.

Ghania Quinlan could not help but notice Nathalie again, and bit her lip. Her face, which had just recovered its blush, soured once more. Twisting her fingers anxiously, she said, "Could it be that the child didn’t make it?"

Jane Bailey agreed, "I think after we left, the child’s condition worsened again. If you ask me, Nathalie should have minded her own business! I’ve been to your house so many times, and she knows nothing about acupuncture. That was just like a blind cat running into a dead rat, the kid was probably about to wake up anyway, and it just so happened that her needle made it look like she woke the child."

Ghania Quinlan felt the same way, but she was smarter than Jane Bailey. She defended Nathalie aloud, "Maybe my sister really did save that child."

"Her?"

Jane Bailey scoffed at the notion.

She solemnly advised Ghania, "Don’t be too kind, Ghania. It’s easy to get taken advantage of!"

"It was Nathalie today being too clever by half. So many people on the road saw the child fall into the water, and everyone called 911, waiting for the police. She just had to show off and jump in by herself. With the water so dangerous, if something had happened to her, would the news praise her for her bravery? The parents of the child could even blame her!"
