Chapter 1166
A month ago, Crystal had pulled some strings and pre-ordered a decade's worth of medication, which
would be delivered annually to Reflections Villa.
When Louisa picked up the phone, she broke down into uncontrollable tears. The maturity and
empathy of Crystal cut into her heart like a sharp knife.
"Mrs. Collins? What's wrong?" The person on the other end of the line was utterly confused by Mrs.
Collins"
sudden outburst, their voice filled with concern. "Hello, Mrs. Collins, are you okay?"
Seeing that Louisa's wave of sorrow was far from over, Arabella excused herself to change out of her
sterile suit and sanitize her hands.
Romeo prepared a bowl of warm soup, ready to serve it to her as soon as she came back. "Here, drink
some."
From last night at 10 o'clock to tonight, Arabella had been working for a straight 21 hours without a
break, either trying to save Crystal or Carol.
In between, she had barely had a bottle of milk, let alone a chance to sit down or catch her breath.
Seeing the tired redness in her eyes, Romeo murmured sympathetically, “The chef has prepared dinner
fresh.
Let me feed you."
Arabella drank a bow! of soup, already feeling somewhat exhausted. "I'll speak to Clark for a bit. Then
I'll leave"
“Alright."
Romeo thought to himself that the girl must be completely worn out, too tired to eat, which made him
feel even more sympathetic.
“Bella, Louisa noticed that her daughter looked quite haggard, hastily wiped away her tears and
lovingly said, “You must be exhausted. I'll have the driver take you home, and I'll ask the chef to
prepare whatever you'd like for dinner. What do you fancy?"
"No need to go to any trouble. Romeo has already taken care of it. But Clark...
Arabella glanced at the man sitting in the corner of the room, his shoulders hunched, as if he had fallen
into a deep pit of despair and couldn't pull himself out.
“Leave Clark." Louisa said, seeing his distraught state, "You shouldn't worry about him. Mr. and Mrs.
Alger must be very upset. Your father and I will stay here with them. You go on home."
"I'm sorry to have put you through this” Kenneth said, filled with guilt.
“It's no trouble."
Arabella went over to Clark, crouched down beside him and gently consoled, ‘Let it all out. Crying will
help."
Clark looked up, his eyes bloodshot and filled with confusion. "Why?"
Why did those men have to be so cruel to Logan, Taylor, and Crystal?
They had three hostages. Why weren't they simply using them to force him, or Carol, or Bella to show
up?
Why did they have to torment those three hostages so mercilessly?
What did they gain from all this?
“Before, they wanted to capture the people close to us to force us to reveal ourselves,’ Arabella
explained in a soft voice. "But that's not the case anymore."
Clark looked at her, his eyes red and swollen, not quite understanding.
“It seems like they want to see the people close to us die one by one, to make us suffer the pain of
losing our loved ones."
Carol was seen as a “traitor” by them. If they couldn't capture her, they'd harm the people around her,
which would also cause Carol to suffer.
And Arabella was targeted by them because she had "meddle" in their affairs multiple times and helped
Carol escape.
Of course, they wouldn't let Clark off the hook either. It was because Carol was with Clark that she had
the idea of “betrayal”, wanting to leave them and stay with Clark till the end.
