The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1280

"The medicine Mr. Elliot injected into Grandpa, combined with the one on the infusion drip, could create a deadly poison."

As Arabella said this, she lifted her gaze to look at Bard, "This implies that either Mr. Elliot is medically knowledgeable, or he is guided by a highly skilled person. Whoever conceived this plot possesses medical and pharmacological expertise far beyond an average doctor."

Upon hearing this, Bard became more solemn.

"Grandpa is even more fragile than before, and he'll have to rely on medication for gradual recovery," Arabella continued and looked at the man on the hospital bed, "It might take several days for him to wake up."

If it were not for her pushing the poison out of Darren's body in time, they might be staring at his lifeless body at this very moment.

That was why she chose to stay and save Darren instead of pursuing Mr. Elliot.

"I was careless to assume that leaving Mr. Elliot here would ensure absolute safety," Bard admitted, his voice filled with regret.

Trust, it seemed, could be the sharpest blade.

"If it wasn't for your timely appearance and your discovery of Mr. Elliot's plot, as well as your efforts to rid your Grandpa's body of the poison, he might have." Bard’s voice trailed off, his gaze falling on Darren, a heavy weight seeming to press on his heart.

At that moment, a young man accompanied by a team of bodyguards hurried in, "Mr. Bard."

Bard lifted his gaze, "Let me introduce you. This is Gordon, my most trusted man."

Arabella looked at the young man who had just entered. He appeared to be in his early twenties, handsome with a determined and astute look in his eyes.

Being trusted by her uncle at such a young age indicated his exceptional capabilities.

Arabella gave him a nod, and Gordon respectfully addressed her, "Ms. Bella."

"I'll stay here tonight, you take Bella home," Bard instructed Gordon.
