The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1277

At that moment, another shiny knife was thrust towards Bard. Swiftly, Bard countered, pinning the knife against the man's throat and demanded in a cold voice, "Who sent you?"

More reinforcements lunged at Bard. Seeing their persistence, Bard had no choice but to take them down.

Perhaps the men in black realized they were losing, they exchanged glances, nodded, and suddenly, the chandeliers in the diner came crashing down.

“Ah, it hit someone.”

“Help.”

“Someone got hit by a chandelier, call 911.”

Seven or eight men in black were beaten to a pulp by Arabella. They threw a smoke bomb and escaped through a broken window.

Amidst the thick smoke, there were screams, cries, and pleas for help.

Arabella chose not to give chase, instead she followed the noises, only to find a young woman whose head was hit by a chandelier, her face covered in blood.

Her boyfriend was terrified, “Aurelie, wake up. Don’t scare me."

“Don’t move her.” Arabella picked up her purse from the debris, intending to take out her first aid kit, but then realized she had left it at the hospital.

She asked several customers to shine their phone lights for her while she crouched down, first treating Aurelie's wounds.

Aurelie's forehead was embedded with shards of the chandelier. It was a horrifying sight.

“What are you doing? Can you save Aurelie? Are you a doctor? Can a doctor be so young?” Aurelie's boyfriend watched Arabella in disbelief, “Is Aurelie badly injured? Is she going to die? I don't want her to die. Can you save her? What are you doing now?”

“Keep quiet.” Arabella cleaned Aurelie's wounds.

Aurelie moaned in pain, seeming to be suffering greatly.

“Be gentle. She's in pain. Please be gentle!” Aurelie's boyfriend was almost in tears.
