EnglishStoryChapter 56 “Martha, what do we do?” Serena was really freaked out! Just now, from the looks of Arabella, it's obvious that Grandpa Phillip didn't give her a hard time! “Should we go in and check?” Martha also felt something was off, but she didn’t know what to say right now.
In the living room.
Romeo was shooting the breeze with Kenneth and Louisa; his eyes were constantly wandering towards Arabella, sneaking a peek at her and engaging with her now and then. These little details didn’t slip past anyone's eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“1 Serena was already jealous of Arabella, especially seeing Romeo take extra care of Arabella’s feelings. Her nails dug deep into her palms, and her palms were filled with nail prints.
Just then, Louisa suddenly asked, “Bella, what are you wearing on your neck?” Everyone's eyes turned to Arabella, only to see the crown necklace on Arabella’s neck. Everyone was blown away when they saw this necklace.
Everyone except Serena was overjoyed, including Louisa, who asked, “Did Grandpa Phillip give you this necklace?” “Yes.” Arabella didn't explain much.
But Romeo gently added, “Gramps is very pleased with Bella; he even asked Bella to pick him up from the hospital in a couple of days.” Kenneth and Louisa never expected Phillip to be so pleased with their precious daughter; they were over the moon.
“Alright, when Phillip is discharged, let Bella know; you two can go pick him up together.” Serena was so jealous she could burst; she couldn't understand why Grandpa Phillip would just hand over the crown necklace to Arabella so easily! She had tried so hard to please Grandpa Phillip before, acting like a know-it-all in front of him, but even then, Grandpa Phillip never took out the crown necklace! Arabella only went today for a few hours, and Grandpa Phillip already liked her so much? After chatting for a while, Romeo stood up to leave, he gently patted Arabella’s head, “Go to bed early, don’t stay up late.” He said it like he was telling off a child.
Kenneth and Louisa had never seen such a tender side of Romeo, their hearts filled with joy once again, they didn’t expect their relationship to progress so quickly and smoothly.
Arabella usually hated being touched, but today, Romeo had made her let her guard down time and time again.
“I should get going.” Romeo looked into her eyes, his voice soft, “I'll call you when | get home.” Serena couldn't believe they had already exchanged phone numbers; she was steaming mad inside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Alright.” Arabella went upstairs to shower after they left.
Serena returned to her room; if it weren't for Martha supporting her, she would've collapsed on the floor like a pile of mud! “Martha, what should | do?” She had never felt so defeated in her life! “Serena.” “Romeo is so into my sister; what should | do? How can | get Romeo to notice me?” Martha thought of a plan in her heart, then said, “Don’t worry, her happiness won't last long!” On his way home, Romeo asked the driver in front, “Have you found Dr. Bell yet?” “Not yet.” Carl glanced at the rearview mirror, naturally knowing what Mr. McMillan was thinking: “Although rumors are swirling that Dr. Bell had passed away, a few insiders say he’s still alive; he just stopped treating patients! And his whereabouts are so mysterious, no one can find him; every time we’re close to finding him, he slips away!” Romeo knew that if it were that easy to find him, he wouldn't be Dr. Bell.
“Mr. McMillan, should we let Miss Arabella give it a shot?” Carl glanced at the rear—view mirror, as if guessing his thoughts: “Miss Arabella is a brilliant doctor; she’s already saved Phillip twice.” “Gramps condition is tricky.” Romeo didn’t want to put Arabella in a tough spot, in case she didn’t know how to treat it or felt guilty for not being able to.
That's not the outcome he wanted to see.
“You keep searching for Dr. Bell's whereabouts.” “Yes”
