Chapter 598
“You’re the best gift ever,” Romeo said, touching her face to comfort her. “My grandma will be over the moon to see you.” “But I can’t just show up empty–handed,” Arabella said, inquiring, “What did your grandma like most?”
She had to come up with something.
“Miss Bella, Shirley McMillian loved flowers, paintings, and playing chess. She’s even heard your music,” he informed
Arabella looked skeptical,
“It’s true! You can ask Mr. McMillian if you don’t believe me”
“That’s right,” Romeo said gently, “My grandma did listen to your music before, and she loved
So, all she had to do was play a few tunes for Shirley?
If Shirley liked chess, Arabella did have a top notch chess set made of gold. Even the chessboard was worth a fortune but it was too late to have it delivered now. “Didn’t you give my grandma a gold bracelet before?” Romeo reminded her. “That bracelet is still on my grandma’s wrist, and you don’t need to prepare anything else. Just show up.”
Finally, Arabella decided to bring the chess set next time, persuaded by Romeo.
Before long, their car pulled up in front of Fairfield Manor
Romeo, leading Arabella by the hand, walked through the front door, with Brodie showing the way.
“Shirley just woke up, and she’ll be thrilled to see you guys!” Brodie couldn’t contain his joy
Who would’ve thought that not only would Shirley wake up, but she could also engage in simple conversations? It was beyond everyone’s expectations! And all of it was thanks to Arabella!
In Phillip’s bedroom, the elegant Grandma Shirley sat on the bed, sipping soup fed by Phillip
“Grandpa, Grandma,” Romeo and Arabella chimed in, drawing the attention of the elderly couple.
“Bella’s here! Darling, this is Bella I’ve told you about! Arabella Collins! Kenneth Collins’s daughter!” Phillip put down the bowl, hurriedly inviting Arabella to sit, completely ignoring Romeo,
Romeo was used to it. He held Arabella’s hand and sat down by the bedside
The kindlady, dressed neatly, was glowing and radiating an aura of nobility.
She looked at Romeo with a warm smile and said, “My grandson’s grown taller, matured, and is more steady.”
Her voice was pleasant and soothing, and her presence was commanding”
“Darling. I was having a hard time getting hold of this well known doctor, Dr. Bell After pulling strings, I finally managed to get him. Guess what, Dr. Bell turned out to be Bella! How coincidental, Phillip started laughing, then continued, “Before I found Dr. Bell, I heard from Carl that Bella, after hearing about your condition, had already been searching for a cure on her own! Carl said that the place she went to was extremely dangerous. A slip could cost her life.”
But she didn’t back down. She could’ve sent someone else or chosen to ignore Grandma Shirley, but she didn’t.
“Later, she found the medicine and worked hard to prepare it, just to save you. If she hadn’t gone there, if Romeo and Carl hadn’t happened to spot her, we might still be in the dark, not knowing that she had been silently doing so much behind the scenes!”
