The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1290

Half an hour later.

Seeing his cherished niece at the hospital once again, Bard felt a pang of guilt.

"Kid, you should be out having fun or resting at home. Don't hang around here."

"I came to Dawnstar specifically for Grandpa's condition. Uncle Bard, you've taken care of Grandpa all night. I'm a member of this family. It's only natural that I should help out."

Bard looked at her with admiration. She was just a young girl but had such a sense of responsibility and courage. She was truly impressive.

He was very satisfied.

"But don't stay too long. There are bodyguards here to look after things. Do whatever you want and pursue whatever interests you."

"Thank you, Uncle Bard."

"I'll go freshen up."

"Okay."

Arabella watched her uncle leave. There were four bodyguards left in the room, two on the terrace, and the others stationed at the door and in the hallway.

After the incident last night, and with the presence of Bard's niece today, the bodyguards were all a bit tense, barely daring to breathe.

"You don't have to be formal. Just act like I'm not here."

Arabella first checked on her grandfather's condition. Seeing no anomalies, she took out her phone and started dealing with work.
