The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1131

Chapter 1131

Romeo knew his presence was not well-suited for the moment.

“I'll head in first then? Arabella nodded, turning towards the villa.

Romeo watched her silhouette disappear into the house before pulling out his cell phone to reply to his brothers' messages.

Old Mrs. Griffith on the sickbed was emotionally stirred, several times opening her mouth to speak, only to be too overcome to utter a word. Her hand was trembling, as if trying to grasp onto something.

“Mom, I know what you're trying to say. Just take a moment to calm down, take it easy.” Louisa, holding her mother's hand, urged anxiously. “Just relax."

"Yeah, Grandma, take it easy. Don't rush.’ Serena chimed in.

Old Mrs. Griffith looked around the room filled with her family: her daughter and son-in-law, her son, her grandchildren, and her most cherished granddaughter Serena, whom she had adored for eighteen years.

Tears welled up in her eyes and flowed down silently.

“Mom, why are you crying?" Kenneth quickly reached for a tissue to wipe her tears. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Old Mrs. Griffith gazed at Serena with tear-filled eyes, keeping her thoughts to herself.

Serena, too, was on the verge of tears. She knew her grandmother loved her the most. Among her five brothers, she was the one mast pampered.

When she was a child, if her brothers misbehaved, their grandmother would scold them. But when Serena made a mess, her grandmother would only laugh heartily.

Rumor had it, her mother had already told her grandmother the truth.

Were her grandmother's tears regret for the eighteen years of love she had given her, or were they because she couldn't bear to part with her beloved granddaughter?

Perhaps due to the emotional upheaval, Old Mrs. Griffith suddenly found herself gasping for breath. Her panting was heavy and exaggerated, like a fish out of water.

"Mom, what's wrong? Mom." Louisa was immediately thrown into a panic.
