Chapter 365
“Bella, do you reckon we should get that doctor to come over and check your grandparents out properly, then treat them accordingly?” Louisa asked curiously.
“Yeah, we can’t botch this up; we should definitely get the doctor over. Plus, we can thank her in person,” Kenneth suggested similarly.
Hans was in two minds; if the guy was Dr. Bell, it would be even better to have him over. He’d bet his bottom dollar that his skills were more reliable than Dr. Nolan’s. Meanwhile, Dr. Nolan chimed in expectantly, “If we could get that doctor, we could have a face-to–face discussion and collaboration. It might speed up the recovery of the elderly couple.”
All Arabella could say was, “I’ll have a word with her later.”
“Great, just great!” Louisa felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off her chest.
Suddenly, Serena thought of something: “Sis, thank God you brought your acupuncture kit today, or Grandma might have been in serious trouble.”
Feigning concern, she added, “But how did you know that our grandparents would suddenly feel unwell?”
She was hinting at the possibility that Arabella had deliberately exacerbated her grandmother’s condition when Kenneth wasn’t looking, then whipped out her pre–prepared acupuncture kit to show off in front of everyone.
“Serena, you wouldn’t know this,” Dr. Nolan chuckled. “Acupuncturists always carry their kits around; it’s no biggie. We were lucky that Ms. Bella was on hand today. If I ever have any medical queries in the future, could J pick your brain, Ms. Bella? I’m seriously impressed by your skills.”
“Bella still has college to attend; if you have any questions, ask her when she comes to visit her grandparents and has some spare time.” Kenneth was worried this might interfere with his daughter’s studies.
“Of course, let me thank Mr. Collins, Mrs. Collins, and Ms. Bella in advance.” With that, Dr. Nolan left with a few nurses.
Serena was green with envy. Dr. Nolan didn’t even mention her!
She had just been singing Arabella’s praises right in front of her!”
A terrible thought suddenly crossed her mind: if the medicine that Arabella brought could lead to the deaths of her grandparents, then she wouldn’t stand a chance in this family!
Even if the law wouldn’t sentence Arabella to death because of the Collins family’s status, Arabella might end up rotting in jail.
By then, she would be the only little princess at home, and everything could return to the way it was.
T
She’d still be the apple of her parents‘ eye, the only little sister her five brothers doted on.
As long as all the evidence pointed to Arabella trying to harm their grandparents.
With these thoughts in mind, Serena looked at her grandparents on the bed. They had genuinely loved her for eighteen years, and she couldn’t bear to lose them.
Later, Louisa stood up and instructed the nurses, “I’ll leave it to you guys. If anything happens, don’t hesitate to call me.”
“Sure.”
“Bella, it’s getting late; let’s head home.” Louisa took Arabella’s hand, and they left the room together.
After they got back to Reflections Villa and Arabella had eaten, she quickly made an excuse to leave for Villa Cascada to prepare the medicine her grandparents needed.
