They've been sitting here for quite a while now. Serena might catch a chill. People might think they
were punishing the child this way.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle Sampson, David, Arabella. I really didn’t know that the soup would give Grandma
bloating."
Serena's tears fell once again. “All I remembered was that granny loved it, so I made it for her to please
her. I just wanted to get closer to Grandma."
"Go ahead” Sampson didn't scold her. If it had been a servant who was so careless, he would have
fired them long ago.
“Bella.” Belinda on the bed spoke weakly, “My stomach hurts."
"I'll give you a little massage." Arabella had a knack for massaging the stomach area.
Before leaving the bedroom, Serena saw Arabella carefully sitting by the bedside, looking after
Grandma.
All she heard was Arabella softly asking, "Does that feel a bit better?"
Belinda on the bed replied, "Yes, much better."
Their conversation made Serena's tears well up once again.
Why, why did she try her hardest to save Grandma, only to have Arabella steal the limelight?
She was the one who had fallen and nearly broken her bones.
She just wanted to be closer to Grandma.
Why was it so difficult?
"Do you believe me when I say it was an accident?"
After leaving Granny's bedroom, Serena, full of grievances with no one to confide in, could only ask the
caregiver beside her.
The caregiver kindly said, "Serena, it must have been an accident. Don't worry, your family doesn’t
blame you, and neither does David. Bella only asked about what happened to better care for granny.
You shouldn't feel too bad."
Serena was even more upset after hearing this, and began to cry harder.
After a while, the caregiver returned to attend to Belinda. Sampson asked quietly, "Are Serena's injuries
serious?"
“Some are bleeding, some are bruised and swollen. She has quite a few injuries, even more than Old
Mrs.
Griffith. She cried while we were treating her wounds, out of guilt."
Everyone around felt uneasy.
After Belinda's fall, Arabella stayed for an extra day until Clark called to say that Carol couldn't hold on
anymore, and was even coughing up blood.
Only then did Arabella bid farewell to Belinda.
“Why don't you stay a few more days?" Belinda was so fond of her, Bella had been so meticulous in her
care these past few days that Belinda felt she would miss her.
"Bella has classes to attend and work to take care of Sampson gently said, "Once you feel better, I'll
bring you to visit her."
Arabella also softly said, "I'll come and visit whenever I can."
"Promise me you will." Belinda held the girl's hand and couldn't let go, “As soon as I can get out of bed,
I'll come and visit you."
"Okay, it's a deal."
“Take this with you. Open it when you get home.” Belinda handed a finely crafted small wooden box to
Arabella, "This is my gift for you. You must accept it."
