The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 2089

Serena spoke up in a timid voice, "I'll handle his wound care. Just leave the medicine he needs."

The nurse had had enough of her. Ever since she found out that the entire Cooper family had been hospitalized because of Serena's actions, and yet she strutted around the hospital like she owned the place—almost as if she was parading in front of the three patients to claim her territory.

The nurse couldn't hide her disdain.

Now, hearing Serena's insincere offer to tend to Martin's wounds, she didn't bother to hide her contempt. Rolling her eyes, she dropped the medicine on the table and walked away without a word.

Fuming, Serena couldn't believe that this lowly nurse, earning a measly paycheck, dared to treat her with such disrespect.

If it weren't for Martin being so worked up and not noticing the exchange, she would have found a way to ensure that the nurse lost her job.

"Martin, let me help you with the dressing," Serena said, pressing a button on the armrest of the wheelchair to move closer and gently tugging at his sleeve.

The gesture melted Martin's heart, his anger subsiding considerably. He looked at Serena with a mix of guilt and gratitude, "I'm sorry, Serena."

"I know. He's got a thing for your sister, and with her in this state, he's just torn up inside. He just wants to figure out whether the crash was intentional or an accident."

Serena coaxed Martin into sitting down, her voice tender, "Actually, I'm kind of happy for your sister. To have a guy who cares so much about her. I'm even more eager than he is for Diana to wake up. I hope they can tie the knot soon."

Touched and heartbroken, Martin stroked her hair and pulled her close into his embrace.

"Even after what he did to you, you still speak so kindly of him." Martin's affection for her grew, along with his sense of guilt.
