The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055

“Alright."

“You sure get a lot of calls, kiddo. I might just finish this report by the time you're done.’ Grandpa Beck chuckled, pointing at the screen as he spoke, "Look at this, the toxin is regenerating. I knew it! This morning's experiment showed the toxin eliminated. How could it regenerate? As you suggested, something in the antidote might not suppress the toxin but instead provoke it. This could be a significant finding."

“I suddenly remembered an old medical textbook you had me read as a child.

It mentioned an ingredient that could inhibit the growth of toxins."

“Of course! How could I have forgotten about that?” Grandpa Beck exclaimed joyfully, “Seems like having you scribble notes as a child paid off"

Arabella smirked, "In addition to scribbling notes, I recall a few other things."

“Oh no, let's not bring up the past." Grandpa Beck feared she'd bring up old grievances. "When you were a child, you were so adorable. I couldn't help but be fond of you. But I couldn't just let you be. I had to be a bit stern while teaching you. You wouldn't have improved otherwise."

Grandpa Beck laughed slyly.

Arabella raised an eyebrow, "Just a bit stern?"

Grandpa Beck hastily replied, "I was never like those other grumpy old men. I never physically punished you. The worst I did was make you copy medical texts or recite them upside down."

Arabella nodded with interest, “Anything else?"

“No, no. That was it. Let's not dig up the past. Your friend Carol's health is more important.” Beck sounded a bit guilty.
