The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 973

Chapter 973

Arabella continued to administer the injections, simultaneously sending one of her subordinates to fetch the recently developed pills from her lab.

After swallowing one, Carol seemed to regain some strength. With her eyelids barely lifted, she managed to whisper, "Thank you, Arabella."

She was feeling much better now.

At least the pain wasn't as excruciating as before.

“What's the need for formalities? Just rest up,’ Arabella said as she put away the needles. “This pill should keep you safe for the next 12 hours."

In other words, the poison wouldn't act up for the next 12 hours.

She could finally get some rest.

“Bella, if the poison in her system keeps acting up at irregular intervals, what can we do? Is there a quick way to alleviate her pain?" Clark asked.

“These two pills, only take them if absolutely necessary,’ Arabella handed over a small bottle. "They're very potent, and I worry her body might not be able to handle it.

Clark nodded, securing the bottle in his grasp.

“We have a plane waiting outside. Once we're back home, I'll need to run some blood tests."

Arabella wasn't sure what kind of poison Carol had been exposed to, so for now, all she could do was help with the pain and figure out a treatment plan later.

Looking at Carol, who was lying weakly on the couch, Arabella said gently, “She used to treat herself with poison to counteract the poison. This has made the toxin in her body increasingly complex and difficult to neutralize."

Carol lifted her weak eyelids, looking at Arabella in surprise. She hadn't expected the young woman to know about her unique form of treatment.

"The medicine you hid in the vitamin C bottle, I took some for testing,"

Arabella explained. "I apologize for barging into your room without your permission."

“I know you were helping Clark find clues. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here. So, it's me who should thank you,’ Carol weakly smiled. "Thank you, Arabella. I owe you my life twice over"
