The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 180

Arabella knew that mixing those two medications wouldn't cause instant diarrhea, but about half an hour later, it would definitely trigger severe diarrhea.

Those two medications were so potent that even anti-diarrhea pills couldn't stop them.

Martha sure was in for a rough night.

Arabella glanced up at Serena, who quickly looked down and, in her flustered state, knocked over the mushroom soup.

"Are you alright there, Serena?" Louisa asked.

A servant came over to help Serena clean up the mess.

Serena, distracted, said, "I'm fine."

"Arabella, you're such a caring soul, looking out for the household help," Kenneth said, full of praise. "But you’ve got to remember to eat too."

"Sure thing." Arabella served herself another bowl and ate slowly, while Serena seemed restless and soon made an excuse to leave.

Meanwhile.

Zachary had just gotten home to find his parents waiting on the living room couch, frowning.

Zachary's father was about to lose his cool, but upon seeing his son bruised and dirty, he was taken aback. "What happened to you? Who did this to you?"

Their usually neat and tidy son was a mess. His white shirt was dirty and stained with alcohol and blood, and his arms were covered in wounds.

"I'm fine." All Zachary wanted to do was going upstairs, taking a shower, and washing away the whole disastrous night.
