The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1533

He always had a way of handling his business that left no trace, no loose ends.

"Get a good sleep," Arabella said, not blaming him but rather reminding him, "Don't forget about David's concert the day after tomorrow."

"I'll pick you up for it."

"Alright."

As soon as Arabella finished speaking, a servant came running over. "Ms. Bella, it's terrible—Serena's been attacked, and bitten by a snake, too! The family doctor won't be here for another hour. What should we do? The master and mistress are out, and we're all at a loss."

"Take her to the hospital." Romeo surely didn't want his girl tending to Serena's wounds, "Bella's had a long day already."

"We better hurry and get Serena to the hospital then." the servant scurried back inside.

A gleam of interest sparkled in Arabella's eyes as she looked at Romeo. "Bitten by a snake?"

Did this guy actually have someone scare Serena with a snake?

"It's not poisonous."

If it weren't for the fact that she was still tied to the Collins family, he would have used venomous ones tonight.

A smile curled on Arabella's lips. With a flicker of amusement in her expression, she said. "Then I'm heading in."

"Right, get some rest," Romeo patted the young girl's head. "Don't worry about her. Even without a doctor, you're not to treat her."

She wouldn't die that quickly.

"Don't worry, I don't save just anyone."

Romeo's laughter echoed; this was his girl, alright.
