The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1901

Nobody would be fawning over her, gathering around to please her.

"Let's try something different, honey. This dress would look stunning on you, Serena. Why don't you give it a go?"

With a gentle nudge from Dora, Serena eventually slipped into a crisp white New Year's outfit.

The reason for avoiding a colorful one was a somber one; her biological parents had passed away not too long ago.

June knelt down to help her into a pair of chic new shoes.

Serena was surprised that Martin even knew her shoe size.

With the help of Dora and June, she settled into her wheelchair, and they wheeled her down to the dining room for breakfast.

After they finished, Dora casually suggested, "Serena, Mr. Martin isn't back yet. How about I push you out to the garden for some fresh air, maybe take in the garden a bit?"

Serena nodded. Upon reaching the garden, she was astonished to find flower beds brimming with blooms as exquisite as those found in the Collins family's estate.

"How did Martin know I loved these flowers?"

She was bewildered. Could it be that he had paid particular attention during his visits to the Collins'?

But that couldn't be right. The Collins estate housed countless plants; how could he possibly discern which ones she favored?

"Mr. Martin said these were discarded by the Collins family, just left outside. He picked them up." Dora spoke truthfully. "That same night, along with these flowers, there were many other things delivered, all related to you, Serena."

"What?" Serena's eyes widened in shock. "Show me."

Dora pushed the wheelchair to a guest room. As the door swung open, Serena's gaze fell upon the shelves lined with trophies, medals, and certificates she had earned throughout her life.
