The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 2066

Louisa's heart ached even more as she considered the pain her daughter had endured.

"How did she bear it? Twice the agony. That must have been excruciating."

Upon hearing this, Romeo felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart, the pain so intense that it left him breathless.

Arabella had been enduring such soul-tearing pain, chatting with him nonchalantly and even comforting him in return.

That damn Yolanda, he wanted to skin her alive and pull out her tendons right then and there.

"All these years, Arabella's been used to handling everything on her own. But she forgets she's only nineteen after the New Year's, still just a child." President Barton found himself fighting back tears. "She needs to rest more from now on, and stick to a light diet."

"Thank you, Mr. Barton, for making the trip," Louisa said gratefully. "I've had some late-night snacks prepared. Please, have something to eat before you consider heading back."

"No, I must be going, but thank you for your kindness. There's something important I need to attend to." President Barton gestured to the blood analysis results he was holding, indicating, "With these results and the antidote Bella concocted, I've got a lead on the poison she was afflicted with. Next, I need to find the person researching this poison."

Such a potent poison should never have found its way to the market, into the hands of the unscrupulous.

The researcher behind this poison, are they simply after money, or could they be connected to the puppet master that the kid has been investigating.

Following this lead could offer some assistance.

"The antidote the kid prepared is spot on, not too much, not too little. Rest assured, she's pulled through."

"Thank you so much." Louisa personally saw him to the door.

At one in the morning, Arabella's room remained closed.

"I hope she's alright." Louisa couldn't help but worry.
