As Arielle was unfamiliar with the innumerous students that they mentored, she was a little concerned about being recognized.

Klaus' expression was indecipherable under his surgical mask. He extended a hand and greeted her in Ustranasion, "Hello, I'm Dr. Jankowitsch

Are you the patient's family?"

Arielle sighed in relief that he did not recognize her.

She was about to reply when Carter interjected. "Do you understand Ustranasion, Ms. Moore? He's extending a greeting to you. I can help translate if you can't."

He did not think her Ustranasion would be any good, considering that she grew up in the countryside.

But to Carter's astonishment, Arielle started to converse fluently with Klaus in Ustranasion while also interspersing their exchange with some profound terminology like "acupuncture", "moxibustion" and "neurasthenia" which stumped him.

Not only did Arielle understand Ustranasion, her command of the language might even surpass that of those specialists who tutored him at home throughout his formative years.

Carter could feel his own face burning up

Just as Carter was mired in self-conflict, he heard Vinson whisper in his ear, "Didn't tell you not to underestimate women?"

Never mind speaking Ustranasion, women could literally carve out his face when they got serious.

He now highly doubted that Arielle grew up in

the rural areas, and became convinced that there was more to her than just her revenge motive.

Carter took in a deep drawl to settle his own emotions.

He supposed that some people just had a knack for picking up languages. On top of it, with her own mother being Jadeborough's previously heralded Maureen Moore, it should come as no surprise that Arielle could be so accomplished at spoken Ustranasion. Hence, he paid little more attention to it.

Being good at Ustranasion doesn't mean one will also be a skilled medical practitioner. Like she said, she has only a limited understanding of the affliction, 'so when she does fail to cure the patient, she'll only end up embarrassing herself

Of course, Carter had nothing personal against Arielle. It was just traditional Chanaean medicine that he was skeptical about

Hailing from a family of modern healthcare providers, his aversion to traditional Chanaean medicine was inherent. That proved even more to be the case for him when its representative was a young country lass, and a very pretty one, at that. Suffice to say, his

confidence in her healing skills was practically non-existent :

Over the other end, Klaus pulled down his mask and cast a questioning look at Arielle after they concluded their discussion of the patient's prognosis.

"Could we have, by any chance, met somewhere before?" Klaus suddenly switched to speaking in Chanaean.

Arielle was taken aback, but came to realize that he did not speak to her in Ustranasion because he wanted to make things difficult for her, but because he knew that she had no relation with the patient right from the start.

His code switching also conveyed a shift in attitude toward her.

"I'm sure that we're meeting here for the first time," Arielle replied.

"But I keep having this feeling that I've seen you before..."

Klaus was wracking his head trying to sift through his own memories when he felt Jordan bump against his arm. "Man, you'd best be trying something else cause this method of hitting on girls has long gone out of style in our country. But nope. You still have to get in line."

"Get in line... to do what?" Klaus asked, quite confounded.

Jordan was about to expound upon it when Carter cut him off. "What's your verdict about her idea of employing traditional Chanaean medicine after all that discussion? Is it complete nonsense?" Klaus scratched the back of his head. "I don't understand what you mean by that, but I do think this lady's proposal may be worth trying" "And her proposal is?" asked Carter uncertainly, as he was unable to grasp what Arielle said in Ustranasion.

Klaus pointed at the unconscious man, "She has suggested using traditional Chanaean medicines acupuncture approach in conjunction with repeated application of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation." Carter did not understand the latter half of what he heard "Could we treat mental illnesses with just acupuncture? Then, what use is there for the multitude of medications available in modern medicine?"
