The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 45

"Can you come pick me up? We can go visit your Grandma together."

Arabella thought for a moment, "Alright."

Arabella felt that it was about time to pay her Grandma a visit, maybe she could lend a hand.

Phillip's mood brightened when he heard Arabella had agreed. They talked for a long time. Then as they were leaving, Arabella pulled a delicate little bottle out of her pocket. "Grandpa, this is for you."

Phillip hadn't expected a gift, he accepted it with joy and asked expectantly, "What is it?"

"It's a sweet pill, take one a month, for six months straight. It can guarantee your health, live to 100 years old."

"Ha ha, really? That must be expensive, huh? Bella, where did you find such a treasure?" Phillip hadn't expected his granddaughter-in-law to be so thoughtful. He had everything he needed, except his health...

What he wanted most now was longevity.

Unexpectedly, Bella was so thoughtful, knowing what mattered to him the most!

"Can I eat one now?" Phillip couldn't wait, he popped open the bottle and tried to pour out one pill. He got too excited and poured out a few.

Carl glanced at the design on the pills, nearly dropping his glasses in shock. Weren't these the highly sought after "Time-defying Potion" from the auction?

It was said to be a health tonic, prolonging life. Only one was auctioned every three to five months...

Each one cost half a million...

The question was, how did Miss Arabella come by so many of these precious, rare things?

Looking at the quantity, she'd have to have been buying them for ten years straight!

But, Arabella didn't need these at her age...
