The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47 

“Life–saver?” Olga and Attlee were taken aback, both turning to look at Arabella. “Her?” 

What’s so special about her? 

“If it weren’t for her, there’d probably be a lot of dead bodies in the hospital by now!” Caden couldn’t take the family’s attitude anymore and retorted angrily. “Do you think Grace would be in this kind of ward without her? Do you think she’d get special care? Do you think she could’ve cheated death so many times?” 

“Her?” Olga and Attlee were at a loss. What could Arabella possibly have done? Didn’t the old lady get to stay in the VIP ward because of the Panter family? What did Arabella have to do with anything? 

Room 306. 

Phillip was beyond pleased, a grin plastered on his face as he lavished praise on his granddaughter–in–law. 

“Boy, you’ve really hit the jackpot with this one! You better cherish her, and if you dare mistreat her, I’ll be the first to object!” 

“I know,” Romeo replied tersely. He wasn’t much of a talker unless Arabella was involved. 

“With such a beautiful, young and medically knowledgeable wife, won’t there be lots of men chasing after her?” Phillip suddenly asked Brodie. “Do you think my grandson looks a bit old?” 

Carl almost burst out laughing. Old? Mr. McMillian was only 22! 

“They’re a match made in heaven… But, speaking of Arabella, why hasn’t she come back yet?” Brodie checked his watch, “You don’t think she’s run into trouble, do you?” 

Upon hearing this, Phillip immediately said, “Romeo, go check on her… 

A 

As Romeo left the room, he saw a male doctor shielding Arabella, like a father protecting his child. 

“Isn’t that the doctor who helped Miss Arabella the other day?” Carl, with his sharp eyes, recognized him right away. That’s James Newton’s grandson Caden… What’s happening? Do you think Miss Arabella is in trouble? Is Dr. Caden helping her out?” 

A feeling Romeo had never before experienced welled up inside him- a bitter, displeased feeling. 

It was as if the person he was supposed to protect was being protected by someone else. 

“It seems like Dr. Caden and Miss Arabella have known each other for a while? He seems to really care about her, Carl observed, then, sensing the palpable tension emanating from Romeo, he teased, “Mr. McMillian, you’re not… jealous, are you?” 

Romeo replied coldly, “He’s just a doctor.” 

“Mr. McMillian, Dr. Caden and Miss Arabella are both in the medical field. They have common ground, if…” 

Before Carl could finish his sentence, Romeo started walking in their direction. 

Didn’t Mr. McMillian say he wasn’t jealous? 

“Forget it.” Arabella didn’t want to waste any more time and started to leave.. 

Caden was indignant on her behalf. “You really should tell them who is responsible for Grace being alive today!” 

“There’s nothing to say.” 

Arabella left first, and an irritated Caden followed closely behind. 

“What did Dr. Caden mean? Our mother is alive today because of our family and the Panter family, not Arabella, right?” 

Olga was utterly perplexed. As she watched them leave, she couldn’t help but say, “She didn’t pay nor contribute, what power does she have to bring an old woman back from the brink of death? This is absolutely ridiculous! Many doctors were at their wit’s end, but we paid for it, the Panter family provided Grace with a VIP hospital room, so that she is still alive!”
