My Quick-witted Baby (Arabella and Kenneth)
Chapter 339

Chapter 339

"Mr. Gilbert, did your teacher leave anything in this institute?"

Arabella came straight to the point. She had been waiting for Dario to return because Janelle told her that her mother had left something for her.

Dario's expression changed as he asked, "Arabella, how did you know?"

"Someone told me about this. Mr. Gilbert, could you please give that to me?"

Dario pondered for a while and replied, "Before my teacher was missing, she once told me that someone would come to take this box one day. I have no idea how you knew about it, but just come with me."

So effortless?

Arabella hadn't expected that she could get the box left by her mother so effortlessly.

...

In the chairman's office...

Dario opened the safe box and took out a little box. Then he said, "Arabella, this is the box left in the institute by my teacher. But this box is locked. If you can unlock it, I'll let you take it. Vice versa, I'm sorry that I have to take it back."

Locked?

Arabella had expected that it would not be that simple. But when Janelle was conscious, she didn't tell her anything about the lock.

Arabella took a glance at the lock of the box and her pupils shrank. It was not an ordinary lock. The cylinder of the lock was inlaid in the box. There should be refined, sophisticated mechanical bearings inside. It couldn't be unlocked with a key or a password. It looked more like the right diagrams in ancient times.

After studying it for a while, Arabella took out several silver needles that she always took with her and pushed a threadlike needle into the hole of the lock.

Dario nodded with admiration and said, "Good. This box should be opened with a silver needle coupled with a set of acupuncturing positions. My teacher is a legendary woman and the thing she left is an invaluable treasure. But as for if you can take it away, it depends on your ability."

Arabella held her breath. She had felt the operation of the mechanical bearings with her fingertips when she inserted the first needle into the hole. She slightly curled her fingers and moved the needle according to the operation route of the mechanical bearings. With a clicking sound, she unlocked the first lock.

Dario applauded, "You're no wonder the student I want."

Arabella picked up another needle. Soon, with a clicking sound, the second lock was unlocked.

"Bravo!" Dario's eyes lit up.

Arabella's forehead was already covered with a layer of sweat. With the increase of sophistication of the hurdles, the acupuncturing skills required were more profound and complicated, and she felt it more and more difficult.

With a clicking sound, the third lock was unlocked.

Dario gave her a thumbs-up as he praised, "Good job."

Arabella felt a gush of blood in her throat as if it was going to gush out from her chest. She had learned medicine for years, but at this moment, she felt as if she was a small boat in the vast sea. As she was forcibly trying to open the box while she herself didn't have the corresponding capability, her blood was turbulent inside.

She slammed into the chair, suppressed the blood in her throat, and waved her hands as she said, "It's my limit. I can't unlock the next lock. I'll give up."

Dario put the box back into the safe box and said smilingly, "Arabella, you surprised me as you unlocked three hurdles in one go. It doesn't matter. You may try again next time."
