“Is her mood stable?” Arabella asked softly.
“She’s steady alright, just missing you a ton. She’s been begging the nurses to lend her their phones so
she can call you. But they keep telling her you come by often, and as soon as she stays awake a bit
longer, you two will be able to meet.”
Grace’s phone was confiscated by Olga, fearing that the old lady might wake up suddenly and contact
Arabella, possibly leaving her entire fortune to her due to her confusion. That’s why she didn’t allow any
phones around Grace.
“I’ll visit her tomorrow.” Arabella’s voice was calm.
“Great, I have a complex case here; can you help me check it out tomorrow?”
“Sure.”
After ending the call, Arabella saw a flood of WhatsApp messages from Olga.
[You are such a disgrace. The Murphy family has bent over backward to raise you all these years, yet
you show no gratitude.]
[Yoli did her best to get you back on track, and you instigate your friends to attack her? Look at what
she has become now.]
Il demand you come here immediately and apologize to Yoli sincerely!]
Perhaps because she didn’t get an immediate response from Arabella, Olga sent several more
messages, all insulting her.
The Murphy family has wasted their efforts raising you all these years. If they raised a dog, at least it
could guard the house. You’re not even as good as a dog!] [If I were you, I would apologize to Yoli
immediately and do everything possible to get her forgiveness.]
[I’m telling you to come here right now; did you hear me?]
Arabella replied to her, [Are you nuts?] Then she blocked her account and prepared to take a shower
and go to bed.
At this moment, Edith’s voice came from outside the door.
“Ms. Bella, are you asleep? The lady wants you to come downstairs for some mushroom soup.”
Arabella wasn’t hungry, but she didn’t turn down her mother’s kindness. She packed up her medication
for the night and went downstairs.
Serena Collins served a bowl of mushroom soup in front of Louisa, sweetly calling, “Mom, here’s your
mushroom soup.”
Then she served another bowl and handed it to Kenneth Collins, saying, “Dad, this is yours.”
“You don’t need to do this.” Kenneth said with a smile that he felt his child was growing more and more
considerate.
Louisa also smiled and said, “Serena, you don’t need to bother with these trivialities.”
Back when they didn’t know she wasn’t their biological child, the Collins family had always taken good
care of her.
Even a play that lasted eighteen years would create bonds, let alone their genuine affection for her
over such a long period.
Although she wasn’t their biological daughter, seeing her being as filial and obedient as before, even
serving soup like a small thing in front of them, Louisa felt very comforted.
Seeing Arabella come downstairs, Louisa smiled and asked, “Bella, you’re here? Come sit next to
mom.”
“Sis, this is your mushroom soup.” Serena served Arabella a bowl personally, and only then did she
serve herself.
“Serena is so thoughtful, treating her sister so well!” Louisa looked at Arabella with a loving gaze and
said, “Hurry and drink it while it’s hot.
Arabella took a spoonful of soup and brought it to her mouth. She smelled a familiar scent–hemp
seeds?
This kind of Chinese herb was often used with other medications to treat constipation.
But Arabella also smelled another medication, croton tiglium. She smiled slightly. Were they trying to
give her diarrhea?
Arabella fooked up and saw Serena and Martha secretly watching her. As she looked at them, they
quickly diverted their gaze.
Arabella put the spoon down, and the smile on her face grew.
“Thanks to Martha’s teachings, Serena has become so considerate. Since Serena personally served
this soup, Martha should have a taste first.”
Martha immediately felt something was wrong: “Ms. Bella, you’re too kind; I am just a servant; how can
I eat such precious food?”
“Of course you can.” Arabella put the mushroom soup in front of her and smiled slightly. “We’ve never
treated you as a servant in our house, and besides, it’s just a bowl of soup, right, mom, dad?”
“Yes, Bella is so kind; just eat it.” Kenneth added with a smile.
But Martha didn’t dare eat the mushroom soup in front of her. She swallowed and smiled awkwardly.
“Sir, ma’am, you might not know, but my stomach hasn’t been good lately; let Ms. Bella have this bowl
of mushroom soup first. Thank you for your kind intentions, Ms. Bella.“.
“Mushroom soup is rich in protein, essential amino acids, and trace elements, which are beneficial for
enhancing intestinal mucosal repair. Martha, your stomach isn’t well; you should drink more mushroom
soup.”
Without waiting for Martha to refuse, Arabella smiled and added, “There are also some good
ingredients added. Martha, you should give it a try.”
Martha felt the girl in front of her was like a devil; how could she know what was added just by smelling
it?
dirty.
“Martha, do you think the spoon I used earlier is dirty, so you don’t want to eat?” Arabella changed a
new spoon for her. Seeing her still not moving, her eyes showed a bit of disappointment. “Is it because
I just got home and no one listens to me anymore?”
“Martha,” Kenneth couldn’t bear to see his precious daughter doubting herself, so he quickly said, “If
Bella wants you to eat, just eat it; it’s just a bowl of soup.”
“Bella, don’t think too much; how could everyone not listen to you?” Louisa said it with pity.
“Maybe it’s because I came home too late; everyone listens to my sister more. Even if I want to give
someone something good to eat, they won’t accept it.”
Hearing these words, Kenneth and Louisa immediately realized something. Yes, these servants had
been with Serena for a long time; naturally, they would lean
more towards her!
Bella must feel bad in her heart.
Thinking about this, Louisa made up her mind. Nope, she had to hire some new help. She couldn’t let
her precious Bella feel wronged.
“Serena, why don’t you try and get Martha to eat? If Martha really doesn’t have an appetite, you can
eat for her. She might not listen to me, but she might listen to you, right?”
At this, Serena’s face turned pale as a‘ ghost, scared that her scheme had been blown.
“Since Ms. Bella is so kind, I might as well eat.” Martha knew she couldn’t avoid eating any longer and
picked up her spoon with trembling hands.
Arabella smiled and said, “That’s the spirit. Martha, is it good?”
Martha felt sick but still took a couple of bites and forced a smile, saying, “It’s good.”
“Well then, you should eat more later.”
“Thank you very much for your kindness, Ms. Bella, but one bowl is enough. I really can’t eat
anymore.”
“There are a lot of ingredients in this mushroom soup. You work so hard; you should replenish your
energy.”
“Thank you for your concern, Ms. Bella.” Martha felt conflicted. After finally finishing the mushroom
soup, she quickly made up an excuse and left.
