Serena's heart sank further. Why was this incredibly insightful gentleman not willing to teach her
personally, instead insisting on having her study under a tutor?
Was it because he was afraid she might outshine Arabella?
It reeked of favoritism.
Afraid his own daughter would be surpassed.
"Serena, you've grown up pampered and sheltered. Everything your sister knows, she learned through
grit and determination. You could start with some simple theory from a well-known tutor. Oh, what are
you interested in? What do you want to learn?"
Serena flashed a sweet smile, "I'll let you know when I decide what I want to learn. Dad, has Arabella
visited Grandpa in Dawnstar? How's his health?"
"Let me tell you, your sister is impressive. She spotted the problem as soon as she got there."
In his excitement, Kenneth got a swift kick from Louisa, reminding him to watch his words.
Sure enough, Serena's eyes dimmed for a moment before she quickly resumed her cheerful
derneanor, “Arabella is indeed incredible. She noticed a problem that so many doctors overlooked."
“All of that comes with experience, from saving so many people,” Louisa interjected, “Now, Serena,
your father and I are going for a walk. Enjoy the fruits."
Seeing the carefully arranged fruit platter barely touched by her parents, Serena felt a pang of
disappointment.
"Dad, Mom, it's been a while since I've seen Grandpa. When can we all visit?” Serena asked, a hopeful
glint in her eyes.
Louisa hesitated, “Perhaps next time when your grandma is also feeling better, we can all gather for a
lively reunion."
Serena didnt expect her mother's change of heart. Was it to give Arabella some peace and quiet, an
opportunity to bond with their grandparents without her, the adopted daughter bothering them?
Her mother was indeed cunning, harboring such a scheme!
In the hospital room.
Upon her arrival, Arabella received a call from her grandmother.
“Bella, I heard that you saved your grandpa." Belinda voice was a mix of excitement and incoherence,
"You're such a good girl, a skilled doctor, and so modest. I don't know what your grandpa and I would
have done if you hadn't returned to this family. We might have already met our maker."
"Grandma, it's not as serious as you make it out to be," Arabella said with a light laugh, “How have you
been feeling these past few days? Are you getting used to the new medication?"
"It's much better than before. The previous medicine was,’ Belinda didn't dare to elaborate, she simply
said, "a bit bitter."
Arabella chuckled, "I know you don't like bitter things, Grandma. So, I added a few ingredients to make
the medicine less bitter"
Belinda sounded delighted, “It's much better. I used to. well, you know the saying ‘Bitter medicine cures
sickness’, so I drank it all in one go."
Belinda's voice was filled with affection and indulgence for her granddaughter.
Arabella’s smile widened, "In a few days, I'll give you a new prescription that should taste even better."
"Really?" Belinda sounded thrilled, then she remembered something, "Oh, yes, I heard from your uncle
that your grandpa's heart rupture was caused by an external injury. That reminds me of something that
happened a long time ago"
Arabella listened attentively to her grandmother's story.
