The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 29

Bella has done so much for the Murphy family, but what have they done for her as children in return?

Caden coldly asked, "If you really cared about Grace, you would have come when the nurse called you at 9 am. Why did you wait until now?"

"We, we had some stuff to deal with..."

Mainly, Olga had a spa date with some posh ladies and Attlee was off playing golf with some high-ups from his company...

By the time evening rolled around, the housemaid had already prepared dinner. Of course, they gotta eat while it's hot!

So they only rushed over after finishing their meal.

"Because there are things to deal with, do you not care about the life and death of the old lady?"

Olga and Attlee felt extremely awkward hearing Caden's words.

"I can sign the transfer papers, but I need to inform you that the medical resources and doctors at other hospitals are nowhere near as good as Hope hospital. Once Grace leaves Hope hospital, I predict she won't last a week. You should prepare yourselves mentally."

Upon hearing this, Attlee's expression became serious, "Dr. Caden, is there any other better solution? Such as ensuring Grace's health when she leaves the hospital?"

"There is."

Upon hearing this, Attlee immediately perked up, "Dr. Caden, do tell, I'm all ears."

"There's a drug on the market that can save Grace's life..."

"Go on, I'm taking notes." Attlee quickly took out a small notebook, pulled out a pen from his pocket, and uncapped it.

"It can only be purchased on the black market. Each pill costs a million, and she needs to take it twice a month. Only after three months of consecutive use can surgery be performed."

After hearing this, Attlee and Olga exchanged glances. A million? So, that's six million in three months?!

“Are drugs that expensive nowadays?”

"It's made from very rare medicinal ingredients, so it's particularly scarce."

Attlee silently put away his notebook and pen, "In that case, I've decided not to transfer her. We'll have to trouble you more in the future..."

The reason they wanted to save Grace was firstly because she holds 30% of the company's shares, worth 30 million. But this sky-high price for the drug was clearly not worth it.

Secondly, Grace favored Arabella. If she wasn't in her right mind and gave her shares to Arabella...

They might make the old lady leave a will giving all her shares to Yoli before she died.

That's why they wanted to save the old lady.

Arabella had often helped the Murphy family through crises because Grace owned shares in the company. Otherwise, she wouldn't give a damn about Attlee's life and death...

But the people of the Murphy family didn't know this. They thought they're all that, able to become the richest family in Tranquil City...

Attlee secretly slipped the bank card he had previously given to Arabella into the medical record in front of Caden.

This small move was caught by Caden, making him despise Attlee even more.

"Mr. Murphy, are you trying to get me fired, or even put in jail?"

It was important to know that medical staff took advantage of their positions to accept bribes in private, which was a crime of accepting bribes. If the amount was large, they might even go to jail.

"Dr. Caden, you get me wrong..." Attlee quickly laughed and cautiously said, "We're not asking you to violate your professional ethics. This is just a small token of our appreciation. We know you've been working hard recently, and this money... you can use it to buy some health supplements..."

"Yeah, Dr. Caden, just take it!"

"Take it away." Caden didn't take a second look, his tone was indifferent, "Someone told me, I will naturally work hard, and you don't need to do any more unnecessary things, you can go out now."

"Dr. Caden..."

Olga wanted to say more, but Attlee quickly took back the card, laughing it off as if nothing had happened, "Alright, we'll leave now. If Dr. Caden needs anything in the future, just let me know anytime..."

If it weren't for Bella, Caden would have kicked them out a long time ago.
