The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2038



Chapter 2038

Martin could only come to the hospital's terrace, straining his eyes to catch a glimpse of his father and

sister through the distance. In two separate ICU rooms on this floor lay the two people he cherished

most.

The following evening, the annual charity gala was the talk of the town, which was held at the five-star

Summerfield Hotel.

When Romeo's car pulled up, the press swarmed like bees to honey. Without the dozens of security

personnel maintaining order, they would have surely broken through the velvet ropes to cluster around

Romeo.

Romeo stepped out looking as dashing as ever, the cut of his suit making him appear as if he'd

stepped right out of a graphic novel with his sharp brows and starry eyes.

The moment he opened the car door and held Arabella's hand, the paparazzi's flashes went into

overdrive. Their matching designer outfits - clearly the work of Maestro Stylish - screamed couple

goals.

They were set to be the talk of the evening.

Reporters went live as Romeo's hand found Arabella's slender waist, the pair making a grand entrance

into the hotel.

Trailing behind them, Kenneth and Louisa greeted the crowd with beaming smiles, exuding warmth and

charisma.

Meanwhile, Serena had just opened her eyes on the hospital bed when Dora exclaimed with joy,

"Serena, you're finally awake."

Lifting her heavy eyelids, Serena's voice came out hoarse and weak, "Where am I?"

"In the ICU."

It was a high-class hospital room equipped with enough medical facilities for constant monitoring, ready

for immediate medical intervention if the patient's condition worsened.

"Mr. Cooper went to speak with the doctor about your condition; he'll be back soon. Are you feeling any

better?" Dora asked with concern.

Serena's face was ashen, and pain shot through her at intervals, leaving her to whisper feebly, "It still

hurts. Did the doctors say what caused it?"

Dora shook her head, "A couple of doctors have already examined you, but none can pinpoint the

cause. Mr. Cooper even had last night's dinner checked - no issues with the food. All the staff's alibis

check out, no motives, no opportunities. Nobody seems to have harmed you."

What in the world was happening then? Neither Dora nor Serena could understand it.

Serena closed her eyes feebly, only to open them again moments later, "Call the nurse, I need

painkillers."

The pain was unbearable.

She fumbled with the remote, and the screen lit up with live coverage of tonight's charity gala.

Serena saw Romeo and Arabella's grand appearance, the lavish setting, the press camping out, and

Serena couldn't hold back any longer; a gush of blood spilled from her lips.
