“Alright, alright, alright.’ Belinda was overjoyed today.


A servant hurried over, bringing a scarf and woolen hat, which Arabella quickly put on her grandmother.


Belinda watched her considerate granddaughter, feeling a warmth spreading in her heart.


When Serena arrived, Arabella was pushing her grandmother back home, their happy chatter filling the


air, as if they had just finished a family photo shoot.


Serena's steps awkwardly halted as she watched them in the snowy landscape. She suddenly felt like


the ultimate outsider.


"Serena, what are you doing out here? It's freezing, come inside," Kenneth called out to her, not


understanding why she was standing at the door.


“lL came to pick up Grandma." Serena tried to hide her emotions, forcing a smile, "Arabella, let me


push her.


You've been looking after her for so long."


The implication was clear: It was her turn now!


"I'm tired, I need to rest, Belinda said, a hint of fatique in her voice, signaling that she didn't want to


engage in idle chatter anymore.


However, a thought crossed her mind. There was still something she wanted to discuss with Arabella.


“Bella, take me to my room, I have something to talk to you about."


Serena was taken aback, feeling as awkward as a cat on a hot tin roof. She couldn't understand why


her grandmother seemed so close to Arabella since she woke up, even though they were not blood-


related.


And even if her grandmother liked Arabella, why was she being ignored? Left feeling awkward?


“Serena, you should go get some rest too,’ Sampson, sensing her discomfort, tried to smooth things


over.


Serena felt humiliated. She refused to believe that her grandmother had so much to talk about with


Arabella.


Was this just a way to get rid of her, the granddaughter without any blood ties?


All the excuses about being tired and needing rest were just that - excuses!


Her grandmother merely wanted to talk to Arabella alone, that was it!


Serena, feeling a sour grape, glanced at Arabella. She wondered what tricks Arabella had up her


sleeve to have everyone wrapped around her little finger.


Arabella, sensing her displeasure and jealousy, moved forward, pushing her grandmother to her room.


Meanwhile, Louisa was looking at the photos they had taken earlier. Kenneth suggested she take a


nap, and the two of them went upstairs.


"Serena,’ Sampson, noticing her mood, tried to comfort her.


“It's okay, Uncle Sampson. I'm going to take a nap," she responded, managing to put on a brave face.


"Don't take it to heart."


"lL know, don't worry, Uncle Sampson."


In the bedroom.


Arabella and the servant helped her grandmother lay down, and then tucked her in.


“Bella, there's something grandma needs to talk to you about."


Belinda held her granddaughter's hand, taking a moment to gather her thoughts before speaking, “I


don't know if your mother told you about your grandfather's illness. You're so skilled in medicine, you


even managed to handle my difficult situation. I was hoping you could take a look at him, so we don't


have to live apart."


Arabella understood, it was about this matter.


She knew that her grandfather wasn't well, but she didn't know the specifics.


“The thing is, I have a daughter, and two sons. The elder son is Bard, and the younger is Sampson.


Bard took your grandfather to another country for treatment, while Sampson stayed with me in Lidaria”"


Although it was Christmas Day and it might not be the best time to ask.


There was probably no more skilled doctor in the world than her own granddaughter.
