The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 291

James felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, eventually giving in and deciding to write a small digital sum later—it was like he had been charged a fee.

Romeo whipped out his phone and said, "I’ve got to find out where I can get some Cinnamomum tenuis."

"Mr. McMillan, why would you need that?" Carl was puzzled.

Romeo's gaze turned serious. "It's for my Grandma's illness."

Carl immediately started looking.

The next morning, he called Romeo and asked, "Mr. McMillan, I finally got a lead; Cinnamomum tenuis has been spotted in the triangular zone before, but that place is a real danger zone. We've got contacts there, but it's risky as hell; I'd advise against it."

Romeo's expression darkened further. Triangular zone? It's there?

"Mr. McMillan, what if it's just a wild goose chase? How about we look for alternative medicine, something that can replace Cinnamomum tenuis?"

"We're running out of time."

Trying out different options blindly—who knew how long that would take? They might as well get their hands on Cinnamomum tenuis; at least that could save his Granny.

"Set it up; we're heading to the triangular zone."

"Wait, what?" Carl was taken aback; he didn't expect Mr. McMillan to actually consider going there. "Is Shirley's condition worsening?"

"Yes, we don't have much time left."

Hearing this, Carl finally understood why Mr. McMillan wanted to go there.

On the way to drop off Arabella at work, Romeo noticed the injury on her right wrist had not only not healed but seemed to have gotten worse. He asked worriedly, "What happened?"

He had been applying the best medicine daily; it was impossible for it to have no effect.

"Have you been using your hand a lot lately? Playing the piano? Or drafting designs?"

Arabella pulled back her hand, casually replying, "Just been a bit busy at work."
