The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1244

Arabella figured that Hans must've known she was involved, but he was blissfully ignorant of the depth and breadth of those people's influence.

She didn't want to drag anyone else into this mess, so she simply said, "You'd better ask Clark, Hans. He knows more than I do."

Seeing his sister’s innocent and adorable demeanor, Hans didn't push, "Alright. If you see Clark causing trouble, just let me know. Don't get yourself involved."

"Okay."

Little did Hans know just how wild she could be.

Meanwhile.

Serena, lying in bed, was in so much pain that tears were streaming down her face, "It hurts. It hurts so much."

When Dr. Lee was disinfecting her wounds, Serena felt as if her bones were on fire, her face twisted in unbearable pain.

"Dr. Lee, please be gentle!" Martha was so worried, "If it's too painful for her, can we wait a bit and apply the medicine later?"

Martha wanted to keep the wound as it was, to show Serena's mother and Hans.

When they saw Serena in such pain, their hearts would surely soften.

"Serena's wound is severe. We can't wait any longer," Dr. Lee said as he disinfected the wound on her forehead, "Every minute we delay increases the risk of infection."

Martha sighed inwardly. What a missed opportunity! But then she remembered she could record a video of this and show it to Madam and Hans later.

"Dr. Lee, it really hurts." Serena's speech was slurred due to the pain in her chin.
