The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 560

About a fortnight ago, she had just lost her grandma, and now she has lost her grandpa.

"Sorry, I know I'm being a bit selfish." Alberto knew his time was running out; he clutched Romeo's hand tightly. "Romeo, you haven't yet agreed to my request."

Romeo felt extremely heartbroken. "I promise you, I'll do my best to protect her and treat her well."

"Good." Alberto closed his eyes in peace. He was glad to have his granddaughter and grandson-in-law by his side before his departure. Whether he was going to heaven or hell, he wouldn't feel lonely or regretful.

Seeing him close his eyes peacefully, Arabella couldn't help but lay beside him, silently shedding tears.

The courthouse staff and the notary finished recording and said a few words before leaving.

The family doctor and nurse also bid farewell to Arabella with heavy hearts.

In the bedroom, only Arabella was left by the bed, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

Romeo gently stroked her back, hoping to provide some comfort.

The butler covered his face, and he tried hard not to cry out loud.

They all knew Alberto's love for Grace was too deep, a love that transcended the boundaries of life and death.

After an afternoon of grief, the butler gave Arabella the things Alberto left behind: "This is a video recorded by Alberto before he passed away; he told me to give it to you."

Arabella knew it must contain his last words; she took it and played it in the living room.
