Forfeit
“I’m sure with your skills, you can ensure that they’ll still survive. So why are you forfeiting?” Sasha was
very confused. They’re dogs, not humans. So what if they die? Why is she forfeiting?
“Although they’re dogs, they are still living beings. Also… my brother loves dogs the most. If he finds
out that I did something like this, he’ll definitely be very disappointed with me.
Sasha knew that Arielle was referring to the Wilhelm couple’s son.
Looks like Arielle really cares about him.
“But…”
“I’m not changing my mind. If they’re sick and need a head transplant, I’ll definitely do it. However,
these two dogs are completely fine. If I were to make them suffer so much out of my own selfishness, I
can’t be considered a doctor.”
Even if Arielle was sure of her skills, she was afraid that she might make a mistake and kill them. If that
happened, she would feel too guilty to face any other dogs in the future
Others might say that she was dumb or kind. However, if she had to do all these just for the sake of
becoming the head of the Mills, she would rather not.
Arielle knew where Sasha was coming from. After all, Sasha was a bodyguard and an assassin from
the borders of Manchernius.
Since she was so skilled, she had definitely experienced all sorts of selection tests and obstacles
before being capable enough to work for Vinson.
Hence, she understood why Sasha was so cold and indifferent to everything.
However, Arielle was not an assassin nor a bodyguard—she was a human being; a normal person who
could never bring herself to do something so cruel to a poor dog.
“All right. I’ll go and inform Cornelius of your decision now.” Although Sasha could not understand why
Arielle was doing this, she obediently went out and informed Cornelius about Arielle’s forfeit.
As the transplant surgery was extremely challenging, the results of the competition were only released
the next morning.
Afraid that Vinson would feel worried, Arielle texted him about it before calling Sam to ask for an extra
day of leave. Sam agreed easily.
After breakfast the next day, Cornelius announced the results.
Looking at the results, Arielle and the other contestants widened their eyes in disbelief.
They were extremely shocked by the results.
“How is this possible? Was there a mistake with the results?” asked someone. “Why is it Arielle?”
Even Arielle could barely believe it. Didn’t I forfeit this competition? Why did I still get the highest
score? Shouldn’t the highest score be given to those who had successfully swapped the heads?
When she woke up that morning, Sasha told her that many of the transplant surgeries had failed.
Many of those dogs had been buried outside by those working for the Mills. Only a few people
succeeded. Although the dogs were not as energetic as before, they were at least still alive.
Naturally, tens of thousands of nerves would have to be attached in transplant surgery. There were
barely any successful cases in medical history too.
Even if they were the best in the medical field, they would be unable to help the dogs make a full
recovery.
Those who had succeeded in the surgeries were extremely delighted at first as they believed that they
could become the head of the family and get the Mills’ medical manuscripts.
However, everyone was taken aback when the results were announced.
“We demand an explanation, Mr. Mill!”
Viggo was one of those candidates who had successfully transplanted the heads. Although he admired
Arielle, he was unwilling to give up on the medical manuscripts.
Abraham knew that everyone would doubt the results of the competition once they were announced.
