The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1689

"No one in the world could save him from his injury."

Had it been possible, he wouldn't have held on till now. She performed surgery on him a day early, sparing him another day of agony. In doing so, she did him a huge favor.

Horace ushered Arabella onto the speedboat, then whisked them away over the water. Once docked, he drove Arabella back to her hotel.

Upon reaching her presidential suite, Arabella checked in with Romeo to assure him she was safe, then caught up on some work, took a shower, and climbed into bed.

At midnight, Sean felt an unbearable heaviness in his chest. While reviewing documents, he suddenly coughed up blood.

"Sean."

Steward glanced at the clock, shocked that the young lady's prediction had come true - it was indeed midnight, and there was indeed blood.

"It's nothing," Sean dismissed it as a mere coincidence, wiping his mouth before returning to his paperwork.

A servant immediately stepped forward to clean the floor. After a few more minutes, Sean tossed the documents back to Steward, "What is this rubbish plan? Have it redone."

"Yes, sir."

Steward wanted to suggest calling a doctor, but hearing Sean dismiss him with a "You can go now," he could only bow and leave as Sean went to bathe, even though he still felt worried.
