The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 799

Chapter 799

Cornelia clasped Arabella's soft hand, seeming somewhat remorseful.

Arabella hadn't anticipated that her grandmother had been so vigilant in her youth, even resorting to private investigations for a while. Suddenly, she saw her grandmother in a new light.

She offered an elegant smile, soothingly saying, "Grandma, you need not feel guilty. I've been doing quite well all these years."

Cornelia chuckled at her words, "Sweet child, you're even comforting me now."

Could she have been doing as well as being with the Collins family?

Word was that she was taken in by the Murphy family, where she faced many hardships.

"I've met many like-minded people and done a lot of things I wanted to do."

It was much better than being a spoiled heiress.

"Besides, I'm back now, aren't I?"

Cornelia looked at Arabella before her. Her features were picturesque, her demeanor elegant, and she was surprisingly mature, understanding, and gracious.

Before seeing her, Cornelia had imagined a timid cautious girl who would feel uncomfortable entering the ward, speaking in a soft voice, and possibly even shedding a few tears out of grievance.

But the girl before her, graceful yet spirited, reminded her of a plum blossom in the snow or a willow in the wind, making her feel extremely at ease.

"Thank God you're back, giving us a chance to make up for the past." Cornelia patted her hand again, "When I am discharged from the hospital, I will prepare a gift for you."
