Chapter 1281

Pregnant Elderly

The patients that the Mills brought in were all people that had complicated diseases. As such, she
couldn’t believe that they would make such a blunder in assigning a pregnant lady as their patient.

Despite Queenie’s dissatisfaction with Arielle, she thought that what Arielle said was logical.

How can Cor make such an amateur mistake in assigning us a pregnant patient given the importance
of the selection in running for the head of the Mills?

She put away her restless thoughts and stared at the elderly lady intently, checking her in a variety of
ways. Two hours passed, and her forehead was drenched in sweat, yet there was still no progress.

“Arielle, this woman is indeed pregnant. We have already conducted a two-hour examination, and she
is, without a doubt, a pregnant and completely healthy woman.”

Queenie wiped the sweat from her brow, irritated by the situation.

Arielle could tell that Queen was irritated. After all, all of the tests showed that the elderly lady was
simply pregnant, but she was still insisting that something was wrong.

“Let’s double-check it; there must be something wrong.” Arielle continued examining the elderly lady as
she spoke.

Queenie was exasperated by Arielle’s behavior.

What else is left to examine? The process has been going on for such a long time! Every single test
result indicates that she’s pregnant. So why are we still performing all these unnecessary
examinations?



“She is expecting. What else is there to examine? Were we not thorough enough? Is there a test result
that shows that she is not pregnant?” Queenie huffed, furious.

“But I still think that something’s off. There’s simply no way she’s pregnant. After all, have we ever seen
a pregnant woman so old?”

“Arielle, don’t you think you’re being too full of yourself here? Although we may not have seen a
pregnant woman of this age, that doesn’t mean that such a condition will never occur. There are many
wonders in the world. We may not have encountered it before, but that doesn’t mean that it’s
impossible.”

“What you think is your business, and what I do is mine. I still think that she’s not pregnant, so maybe
you should refrain from bickering with me anymore.” Arielle sympathized with the elderly lady. Putting
aside her advanced age, the fact that she is now walking around with a baby bump after the demise of
her partner more than a decade ago must have attracted a slew of unwarranted criticisms. She must
have gone through a lot.

“Do you really think that I would have cared so much if the two of us hadn’t been assigned to the same
group?”

The elderly lady, who was already in a bad mood because of her inflated belly, could no longer stand
the incessant squabbling between the two women.

She stared at them both and reprimanded them harshly, “Can you please stop arguing? Get out of here
if you two still insist on disrupting my peace! My head is spinning because of you two! If you’re not
qualified to treat me, then go back to med school!”

Arielle took note of the lady’s frustration and realized the inappropriateness of their behaviors. Feeling
guilty, she wanted to apologize immediately.



However, just before she could utter anything, Queenie blurted, “What we’re doing is none of your
business! How dare you accuse us of being unqualified? Let me remind you that you’re pregnant
despite your advanced age! Don’t you have any self-respect? Even worse, you claim to be sick? I bet
you’re just embarrassed to own up to it, that’s why you said you’re sick!”

“Queenie!” chided Arielle angrily.

How can she say this!

“What’s wrong? I’m just saying the truth!” Queenie saw nothing wrong with her statement, and she
glared at Arielle for trying to stop her.
