The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289 

From the looks of it, she had been cared for meticulously. From head to toe, every single strand of her hair was neatly combed, her nails were well manicured, and even her outfit was chosen based on her old habits.. 

If she could move and speak, that would be a sweet, lovely Granny. 

“Dear, Bella is here to see you!” Phillip took his wife’s hand, introducing her with a beaming face “This is the Arabella I’ve been telling you about. Look, isn’t she pretty? Not only is she a looker, she plays the piano and saves lives too. Our grandson sure hit the jackpot hooking up with this one.” 

He heard Arabella was a piano prodigy mentored by Melody! 

Arabella smiled gently at the kindly old lady and said, “Hello, Granny. My name is Arabella. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” 

She touched the necklace around her neck and said, “Thank you for the gift; I really like it.” 

She then brought out a gift and said, “This is for you.” 

“What’s this?” Phillip took it on her behalf, and upon opening, it turned out to be a beautiful gold bracelet. 

“This is some high–quality gold. You can tell it’s a unique design; you’re too kind.” Phillip presented it to Shirley, saying, “See how pretty it is; let me put it on for you.” 

He carefully put the bracelet on his wife’s wrist and said, “If your Granny could react, she’d probably be hugging you right now.” 

But alas, with this illness, no one could change. 

Though she could blink and breathe, her other symptoms were like those of a vegetable. 

Romeo didn’t know when Arabella had prepared a gift for Granny, and it was even such an expensive bracelet. He felt both touched and heartbroken. 

Some rich girls used to visit Grandpa under the pretense of visiting Granny, bringing gifts to curry favor with Grandpa. Because in their subconscious, vegetables didn’t need gifts, 

Even if they did give, it was a waste. 

But Arabella treated Granny as a real human being, not a vegetable. She truly respected and treated her. 

That’s where she stood out. 

Arabella held Granny’s wrist and said, “Granny, when you get better, we can go out together, have meals, go shopping, and even travel together to see the world.” 

Upon hearing this, Phillip had to turn away to hold back his tears. 

Romeo reached out and patted his back, as if to comfort him. 

By this time, Arabella had finished her examination and withdrew her hand, having drawn the conclusion in her mind, “I believe that day will come soon.” 

As Romeo said before, Granny indeed suffered from brain damage. 

A long time ago, she treated a similar case where the patient became a vegetable due to a brain injury. 

Although the patient was eventually cured, it required lots of different drugs, some of which were extremely rare and hard to get; some were even in regions outside the border, where going to fetch the medicine could risk one’s life.
