The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1138

Chapter 1138

Not sure how long she had slept, Belinda woke to a world of pure white.

The snow had ceased, everything was draped in white, as far as the eye could see.

Arabella sat by the bed massaging Belinda. Seeing her awake, her eyes softened, "Grandma, you're awake."

"Bella. How long have I been asleep? What time is it?"

"12 aclock.” Arabella carefully helped her up, "Be careful, take it slow.

Belinda managed to sit up, her gaze never leaving Arabella, her tone filled with concern, "Have you had lunch?

Have you been massaging me all morning? My silly girl. Your hands must be sore! Let me rub them for you."

She had vaguely heard her granddaughter talking to the maid earlier in the morning, even helping her massage.

Time had quickly passed.

"I'm not hungry, nor tired.” Arabella smiled softly, "But you can eat something light today. How about I wheel you over to join everyone for lunch?"

Today was Christmas. It was more lively when everyone gathered together.

"Sounds good." Belinda agreed, her eyes crinkling with amusement as she looked at her granddaughter. Such a thoughtful, considerate, and sensible girl.

Arabella assisted her, while the maid hurriedly came over to help.

"Miss Bella has been taking care of you all morning, none of us can replace her. She just wants to do something for you personally."

Hearing noises from the room, Serena, whe had been waiting outside, hurried in.

"Grandma, you're awake. Lunch is ready, let's eat together. It's been a while since we had a meal together."
