The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 151

Michael and Joseph, although perplexed, followed Beatrice's instructions, assisting her from her sickbed to visit Arabella.

Arabella was staying on the same floor as Dorian, the sixteenth. They had just arrived outside Arabella's room when they saw Vivienne slowly approaching from the other end of the corridor.

Percival had been in an accident, so Vivienne hadn’t had the chance to visit Dorian in the hospital the day before. She had finally found the time to do so that afternoon.

Naturally, she saw the Hawthorn family members, but she didn’t give a damn. She passed by Arabella's room without even a second glance at them.

Arabella also saw Vivienne. She sat disheveled on the bed, watching Vivienne walk past her as if she didn't exist. Arabella could see arrogance, disdain, and schadenfreude in Vivienne's calm demeanor.

For some reason, Vivienne's presence reminded Arabella of the masked woman from that night. The calm expression the masked woman wore as she made an incision in Arabella's abdomen was eerily reminiscent of Vivienne’s.

It was as if they didn't see her as a living human being but as an object they could manipulate at will.

"Ahh!" She couldn't help but scream, shouting in terror and rage, "I'm going to kill them! I'm going to kill them all!"

Not only did the Hawthorns standing at the door get a fright, but so did the entire floor of the hospital.

"Arabella, Arabella, it's alright now." Beatrice rushed in to comfort Arabella.

"Granny!" Arabella cried and clung to Beatrice. "The police don't believe me! Have I endured all this torment for nothing?"

"The people in the N&S Psychiatric Hospital are mentally ill. They don't have the capacity to be held legally responsible." Michael didn't show sympathy for Arabella but instead taunted her. "Even if the police did believe that someone planted bombs in your stomach, do you think there's a way to punish them? Can’t you stop making trouble? Who told you to go there in the middle of the night?"

Arabella gritted her teeth in fury. She remembered clearly that night when she had called them for help, but not one of them had answered.

The only one who answered her call was Cordelia.

But now she couldn't risk alienating them. Elijah was in jail, the man in black was nowhere to be found, and her reputation had been ruined due to her false accusations against Dorian. If Beatrice abandoned her too, she would have no one left to rely on.

So, in response to Michael's taunts, she said nothing. She only sobbed and asked Beatrice, "Granny, what should I do now?"

"Don't worry, Granny has a plan." Beatrice gently stroked Arabella's hair. With a glint in her eye and a hint of satisfaction in her voice, she reassured Arabella. "All you need to do is follow Granny's plan."

Dorian's room was on the same floor as Arabella's, so he had also heard her scream. At that moment, Cordelia was feeding him soup.

A nurse changing the IV drip nearby muttered, "She should be transferred to the psychiatric ward. Her constant screaming is scaring everyone."

Cordelia paused in her spooning, then continued as if nothing had happened.

Dorian's eyes darkened when he heard Arabella's scream, but he remained silent, remembering all the things Arabella had done.

The atmosphere in the room was silent and tense when Vivienne entered.
