‘Ruby, I know you’re feeling miserable, and it’s making you cross. But you can’t let your temper make decisions for you,” Florence advised gently. “Arabella is here now. Let her take a look. You know very well how capable she is.”
Ruby reluctantly lowered her head. She knew she was out of options.
Arabella walked to the bedside and placed a small medicine bottle on the nightstand. “Take these three times a day, after meals. ‘ou should be fully recovered within three days.”
That’s it?” A collective gasp of surprise filled the hospital room–four stunned faces turned toward her!
That’s it,” Arabella confirmed calmly.
Arabella, you’re not trying to pull a fast one on me, are you?” Ruby spat out angrily.
¡he hadn’t even done an examination–just left a bottle of pills?!
This is a special formulation I prepared myself. I guarantee it will cure you completely,” Arabella stated with utter confidence.
Arabella, we trust your skills, of course, but… are you absolutely sure no tests are necessary?” Florence double–checked, oncerned.
I can assess the problem just by observing her,” Arabella asserted.
tuby exploded, pointing a shaky finger at Arabella. “Mom! I told you she didn’t really want to help me! You wouldn’t listen. She’s ust here to mock me! Make her leave–I don’t want to see her!”
Enough! I believe Arabella is acting in good faith,” Sophia scolded Ruby firmly, then turned to Arabella. “Arabella, so if she takes he medication as you directed, that should do the trick?”
Yes. She should notice some improvement after today’s dose and make a full recovery in three days,” Arabella confirmed.
Sophia smiled and promised, “Alright then. Don’t you worry. I’ll personally make sure she takes it.”
‘Thank you for handling it, Aunt,” Arabella said politely.
‘Oh, it’s no trouble at all–I’m her mother, it’s my job. But you, coming all the way here for her sake…” Sophia said, her voice killed with gratitude.
Arabella offered a small smile and took out another, different medicine bottle, handing it to Sophia. “Aunt, this is something I prepared for you. You look exhausted from stress and lack of sleep–this will help restore your energy and overall well being
“For me?” Sophia exclaimed, accepting it with delight.
“Uncle can take some too. It will help you both combat fatigue,” Arabiella added.
It was clear her aunt and uncle had been deeply worried and run ragged by Ruby’s illness
“That’s wonderful, thank you, Arabella. It’s so kind of you to think of us,” Sophia said joyfully
“Hmph. Suck–up,” Ruby muttered under her breath with disdain.

“What did you just say?” Liam rebuked sharply. “Apologize to Arabella this instant!”
Ruby stubbornly turned her face away. “I will not.”
“Do it. Now,” Liam ordered, his voice stern.
Sophia sighed helplessly. “Ruby, be reasonable. Don’t cause us any more worry.”

“It’s alright, Uncle, Aunt. She’s unwell and not in her right mind. We can make allowances,” Arabella said graciously.
Ruby shot a glare at Arabella. “Stop pretending to be the bigger person.”

Arabella arched a brow. “You refuse to apologize, and you’re still upset when I choose to overlook it. What exactly is it that you
want?”
“I…” Ruby was left speechless. What did she want? Mostly, she just didn’t want Arabella here!
Seeing Ruby’s frustrated, helpless expression, Arabella allowed a slight smile. “We’re family. Let’s forget about the apology. But once you’re better, don’t forget you owe me your thanks.”
“Don’t you worry about that, Arabella,” Sophia promised immediately. “Once Ruby is fully recovered, we will absolutely bring her by to thank you properly.”
Ruby grumbled quietly, “Even if she does treat me, we can just pay her. Why do I have to go thank her in person?”
The idea of having to personally thank Arabella sounded almost worse than staying sick.
“Just keep quiet,” Liam snapped. “You just finished your meal, so take that medicine now. Maybe it’ll help you settle down.”
“This child truly never gives us a moment’s peace,” Liam said, shaking his head, then turned back to Arabella. “Arabella, thank goodness we have you. Your uncle and aunt were at their wits‘ end.”
“Uncle, as I said–we’re family,” Arabella replied warmly. She had developed a very positive impression of this aunt and uncle.
“Right you are. Once Ruby is discharged, I’m treating everyone to dinner at the Cloudwing Hotel. A proper family gathering,” Liam declared.
“Thank you, Uncle. We’ll look forward to it,” Arabella agreed.
“Ah, no need for thanks between family.”
“Alright then, we’ll be counting on that feast.”
“Hahaha…”
Arabella turned to Florence. “Mom, you’ve been pushing yourself too hard these last couple of days as well. Let’s go home so you
