The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1438

Chapter 1438

Darren was stretching leisurely when he came down the stairs, only to hear the choked sobs of Serena. Instinctively, he quickened his pace. Reaching the bottom, he saw her eyes, red and swollen with tears.

“What on earth happened here?"

He glanced from Serena who seemed pitiful, to the imposing Eunice, who sat at the head of the table, completely baffled by the scene.

Had the two argued?

"Serena, you're awake. And what's with the cast on your arm? Eunice, what's going on here?"

Serena's tears streamed down her cheeks as she sobbed, "Grandpa, do you really think I would harm you? Last night, I just started feeling sick all of a sudden. I mentioned it in the car, didn't 1? I felt like I was going to be sick, and after we got out. I don't know, I started hallucinating."

She continued through her tears, “I can't remember what happened next. If it weren't for the servants telling me, I wouldn't believe I did all those bizarre things last night. I'm covered in bruises, and I have no idea how I got them.

How could this possibly be related to being drugged?"

"Being drugged? What are you talking about? Eunice, you suspect that Serena drugged herself?” Darren asked, confused, “Does that even make sense? There's no benefit to her in doing that."

“What if she meant to drug someone else and accidentally took it herself?"

Eunice asked coldly.

"So in your eyes, I'm that kind of venomous person? We were having such a lovely family dinner last night; who would I possibly want to harm? Why would I want to harm any of you? After eighteen years, do you really see me as a heartless monster?"
