The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 2147

“Then all of a sudden, he stopped breathing. I recalled how he clung to me with one hand while pointing outside with the other, gasping for breath. “Maybe he was trying to give me a clue. So, I immediately reported to Sean. He also thought it was possible, so we were all thinking: could the person he was hinting at have ‘sky’ or ‘night’ or ‘moon’ or ‘star’ in his name?”

Steward’s voice trailed off into a sullen tone, “In the end, we followed this clue for a long time but found nothing. Now I think about it, he was probably just pointing at nothing in particular. Got us running around for nothing.”

All that time and effort wasted.

Arabella, however, pressed on, “What was outside at that moment?”

“Nothing really, from where he was lying in the car, he could probably only see the sky. I’m not even sure if the moon or stars were out.”

Now think about it, the masterminds behind all this are Lucas and Beverly, but what does that have to do with him pointing at the sky?

He was just pointing randomly.

Suddenly, Arabella was lost in thought, remembering how Lucas and Beverly had looked back repeatedly before leaving Reflections Villa.

It was Beverly who stopped first, her eyes brimming with complex tears as she looked at Arabella.

Those eyes seemingly wanting to say a thousand words, yet in the end, they only turned into two light words, “Take care.”

That didn’t sound like something an aunt would typically say to her niece at farewell.

It was as if she was warning that something might happen to her.
