The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1269

Everyone watched as the hospital room door closed, leaving them with their mouths half-open, sighing in disbelief.

If only they had known earlier that she was Dr. Bell, they would have been more courteous. Now, she didn't want to waste her time with them.

Meanwhile.

Serena had prepared a fruit salad by herself, ready to serve it to her parents, when she heard Louisa's excited voice.

"You're kidding? The surgery was successful? Bell was the lead surgeon? That's fantastic!" Louisa was so overjoyed that tears streamed down her face. "I knew it, Bella is the best. How's Dad doing now? Really? Bella said so herself? He'll be awake in a day or two?"

Serena was so frustrated that the salad plate was shaking in her hands. Damn it, that woman had stolen the limelight again.

"If it weren't for the Temple family crisis, I'd really like to go and see." Louisa was weighing up her options, torn. "In a few days, Kenneth and I will make a trip. It's been a long time since we last saw Dad. He would be so happy to know how talented his granddaughter is. Let Bella stay in Dawnstar for a few more days. Good, good, let her have lunch and take a nap first. We've already had our dinner here."

Solterra was six hours ahead of Dawnstar. It was seven o'clock in the evening here, but only one o'clock in the afternoon there.

After his wife hung up the phone, Kenneth asked with delight, "So, Dad's okay now?"

"Bella examined him, found a small hole in his heart that was leaking blood, which formed a clot and plugged the hole. The others couldn't figure out what was wrong with Dad, but Bella insisted on doing an ultrasound, found the problem, and performed the surgery in time."

"Thank God for Bella." Kenneth sighed with gratitude. "She's so capable, all thanks to those old men. During the years when we hadn't found our daughter, they treated Bella as their own granddaughter, passing on all their skills to her. As soon as we're free, we should visit them one by one."
