The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1696

"Do you really think a few guards can keep me here?"

"There’s been a misunderstanding. Your people asked us to arrange some food for you for your welcome. Please join the VIP suite to have some rest."

Off to the side, Derrick couldn't believe his eyes. The world-renowned Dr. Bell was in fact a strikingly beautiful and poised young lady. His heart surged into a rapid beat.

So young, yet already earned the esteemed title of Dr. Bell.

She was completely captivating.

Arabella made her way into the VIP room, only to find Horace, legs crossed, lounging on the bed munching on potato chips.

"Ah, Boss, you’ve arrived?"

At the sight of Arabella, Horace, his cheeks still puffed out tooting chips, urged with excitement: "These chips are divine. You should have some."

The bodyguards in the room gazed at Arabella with deep respect. After all, she was the savior who had saved their boss Sean's life.

"Boss, is the surgery done? Sean's still alive, isn’t he?" Horace queried.

"What do you think?"

"With Boss up to the task, of course he is! Hey!" Horace laughed, pressing a chip into Arabella's lips. "They said we can't leave until Sean comes around, right? Come sit by me. I've saved some special snacks just for you."

Arabella was speechless.

Horace tore open another bag of chips and tossed it to the side. The bodyguards darted forward with bowls at the ready. Arabella could tell Horace had his amusements; he had them working up a sweat even in the chilly winter.

One of the guards took a call and, after a whispered exchange, guns were suddenly drawn on Arabella and Horace.

"All’s fair in love and war," Sean quipped with a more sinister smile, as if schooling a naive subordinate.

However, Arabella too, formed her lips into a knowing smile. "I seem to have forgotten to mention, the prescription I gave your men earlier should have seventeen ingredients. But I listed only sixteen."

Sean's smile stiffened abruptly.

Steward and the rest of the bodyguards were taken aback, not expecting the girl to have an ace up her sleeve.

"As for the seventeenth ingredient, I'll let you know once we're safely out of here," Arabella continued smoothly.

Sean scoffed, "How do I know you're telling the truth?"

"Right now, you don't have much of a choice but to trust me, do you?" Arabella shot back.

The operation was her doing, and without her insight for the follow-up treatment, how swiftly and how fully Sean would heal were all in her hands.
