"Is her mood stable?" Arabella asked softly.
"She's steady alright, just missing you a ton. She's been begging the nurses to lend her their phones so she can call you. But they keep telling her you come by often, and as soon as she stays awake a bit longer, you two will be able to meet."
Grace's phone was confiscated by Olga, fearing that the old lady might wake up suddenly and contact Arabella, possibly leaving her entire fortune to her due to her confusion. That's why she didn't allow any phones around Grace.
"I'll visit her tomorrow." Arabella's voice was calm.
"Great, I have a complex case here; can you help me check it out tomorrow?"
"Sure."
After ending the call, Arabella saw a flood of WhatsApp messages from Olga.
【You are such a disgrace. The Murphy family has bent over backward to raise you all these years, yet you show no gratitude.】
【Yoli did her best to get you back on track, and you instigate your friends to attack her? Look at what she has become now.】
【I demand you come here immediately and apologize to Yoli sincerely!】
Perhaps because she didn't get an immediate response from Arabella, Olga sent several more messages, all insulting her.
【The Murphy family has wasted their efforts raising you all these years. If they raised a dog, at least it could guard the house. You’re not even as good as a dog!】
【If I were you, I would apologize to Yoli immediately and do everything possible to get her forgiveness.】
【I'm telling you to come here right now; did you hear me?】
Arabella replied to her, 【Are you nuts?】 Then she blocked her account and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.
At this moment, Edith's voice came from outside the door.
“Ms. Bella, are you asleep? The lady wants you to come downstairs for some mushroom soup.”
Arabella wasn't hungry, but she didn't turn down her mother's kindness. She packed up her medication for the night and went downstairs.
Serena Collins served a bowl of mushroom soup in front of Louisa, sweetly calling, “Mom, here's your mushroom soup.”
Then she served another bowl and handed it to Kenneth Collins, saying, “Dad, this is yours.”
“You don’t need to do this.” Kenneth said with a smile that he felt his child was growing more and more considerate.
Louisa also smiled and said, “Serena, you don’t need to bother with these trivialities.”
Back when they didn’t know she wasn’t their biological child, the Collins family had always taken good care of her.
Even a play that lasted eighteen years would create bonds, let alone their genuine affection for her over such a long period.
Although she wasn’t their biological daughter, seeing her being as filial and obedient as before, even serving soup like a small thing in front of them, Louisa felt very comforted.
Seeing Arabella come downstairs, Louisa smiled and asked, “Bella, you're here? Come sit next to mom.”
“Sis, this is your mushroom soup.” Serena served Arabella a bowl personally, and only then did she serve herself.
“Serena is so thoughtful, treating her sister so well!” Louisa looked at Arabella with a loving gaze and said, “Hurry and drink it while it's hot.”
