The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 42

Phillip had been waiting a long time, and finally saw two people entering.

“Grandpa, Bella and I are here to visit you,” said Romeo.

But Phillip’s gaze didn’t linger on his grandson, but was completely focused on the young girl!

“So, you’re the brave girl who saved me twice?”

Phillip didn’t expect this girl to be so beautiful. He was at death’s door the last two times and didn’t get

a good look at her. He had no idea how stunning she was.

He could only say that Romeo was really lucky to have such a beautiful wife–to–be! “Hello, Mr. Phillip,”

Arabella greeted politely as soon as she walked in.

She was so refined.

“Don’t call me Mr. Phillip, it sounds so distant. We’re family, just call me Grandpa!”

Phillip was very pleased with her and said happily, “You’re my grandson’s fiancée, naturally, you can

call me Grandpa just like he does!”

Arabella choked.

She and Romeo just met by chance, they weren’t anywhere near the stage of being engaged.

“I heard from Carl that you’re a lost relative of the Collins family who was about to return to the Collins

family and saved me at the same time… Yesterday

I had that soup and was rushed into surgery, and you pulled me back from the brink of death again!

That’s twice you’ve saved me.”

What a strange twist of fate this is!

If it weren’t for this girl, he would have been long gone! Would he have had a chance to meet his future

granddaughter–in–law?

“And you’ve been stranded for eighteen years, you must’ve had a rough time.”

Arabella was about to say that she was OK and not suffering when she heard him continue, “the Collins

family and the McMillian family will treat you better in the future!”

Arabella understood why the Collins family would be concerned about he, but would the McMillian

family be caring too much?

“Your name is Arabella, right? Nice name, and you’re very pretty” Phillip seemed to be talking to

Brodie

Brodie nodded in agreement with a smile, this girl was indeed more appealing than Serena, very

natural and unique.

“Ah, I’ve been talking non–stop and forgot to offer you a seat. Come sit, kiddo,” Phillip patted the

double sofa by his bed.

Romeo’s eyes sparkled, was this sofa new? Bought just so that he and Arabella could sit together, they

really went all out.

Brodie awkwardly laughed, “Young master, sit down, please?”

Romeo didn’t show any displeasure and naturally sat next to Arabella.

This surprised Phillip. His grandson seemed to feel differently about this girl?!

“Bella, Carl told me you just finished high school, have you thought about going to college? I can help

arrange that!”

Arabella obediently replied, “Not at the moment.”

“Well, how about Summerfield College? I know the principal!”

Romeo tried to change the subject, “Have you taken your medication today?”

As soon as the topic of medication came up, Phillip’s brows furrowed, “That medicine is so disgusting! I

don’t know who made it, it’s so bitter it could make me suffocate!”

Everyone turned to look at Arabella.

Arabella calmly said, “I made it.”

Phillip looked shocked. He never expected his granddaughter–in–law not only to be able to diagnose

and perform surgery but also to make medicine…

He immediately changed his tune, “Even though it’s a bit bitter at first, medicine is supposed to be bitter

to be beneficial. After taking the medicine, you can have a sweet, and it’ll taste very sweet. That

sweetness is just like the care my granddaughter–in–law has for me…”

“Then you should take it,” Romeo added calmly. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Phillip–said, “Brodie, bring me the medicine! I was planning on taking it anyway, I just forgot because I

was so pleased to see my granddaughter–in–law!”

What a story teller!
