Chapter 597 After a while, Romeoâs phone started to ring.
Arabella knocked on the bathroom door, âYour phone has been ringing off the hook want me to grab it for you?â
Probably some urgent matter from the group. Otherwise, they wouldnât be buzzing him like crazy.
âJust answer it for me,â Romeo replied from the bathroom.
âMe?â
Was that appropriate?
âIf itâs workârelated, tell them to contact Carl. If itâs personal, you make the callâ
Arabella picked up his phone and saw it was Grandpa Phillip calling.
âGrandpa Phillip, itâs Arabellaâ Arabella looked towards the bathroom, wanting to explain that Romeo was in the shower but worried about any misunderstanding.
To her surprise, Phillip McMillian jumped the gun, excitedly saying, âYouâre with Romeo? Bella, has your activities been tough?
Are you tired? Has President Barton been treating you well? Has anyone been giving you a hard time at school?â
Arabella smiled and said, Tm doing great.â
âIf anyone gives you a hard time, you have to tell me, and Iâll sort it out! Howâs the environment at school? Do you like the food?
Do you need anything? I can personally deliver it to you!â
âNo need, everythingâs great.â Arabella didnât expect Grandpa Phillip to be so caring, and it warmed her heart.
âThatâs good, as long as no oneâs giving you a hard time.â Phillip said, relieved, âWhatâs Romeo up to? Iâve called him many times, but he hasnât picked up.â âHeâ Arabella glanced at the bathroom again, âHeâs on the throne.â
âOh, heâs on the throne, that explains it.â
âDo you have any urgent matters?â
âGreat news! Your grandma!â Phillipâs voice was very excited, âShe woke up a few times before, but each time was very short. I would call her, and she would respond, but not like today! Today was truly a surprise Phillip, thrilled, quickly relayed the situation to Arabella, 1 called her by her nickname, she answered me, and even called me by my nickname. She said she was thirsty. I gave her water, and then she asked me what day it was, how long she had been asleep!â
Even though she had woken up a few times before, she had never initiated a conversation with him. She was just slightly conscious!
What happened today was unbelievable to Phillip! He was over the moon!
âShe even asked me where Romeo was, and I told her she had been asleep for a long time and that Romeo had found his love. I gave that girl the necklace, and she said she wanted to meet you guys. When can you guys come to visit?â
âIs she still awake now?â Arabella asked softly.
âSheâs asleep now, but I feel like sheâs been waking up more and more often lately and for longer periods of time. Although she still canât get out of bed and needs to be fed, just like a child. She can already have simple conversations with me.â
This was enough to drive Phillip into ecstasy!
She was conscious, able to communicate, and even remember people, something Phillip hadnât even dared to dream about.
Arabella smiled and said, âAs long as she takes her medication, sheâll get even better After some time, you can slowly help her walk or let her use a cane, and then sheâll be able to walk on her own.â
Suddenly, Phillip covered his face, starting to cry from excitement.
Through the phone, Arabella could hear him trying to hold back his tears, and she couldnât help but say, âGrandpa Phillip.â
âIf it werenât for you, I couldnât even imagine this day, not even in my dreams.â Phillip began to cry from happiness. After a while he said, âGood girl, thank you. Iâm so lucky to have you, youâve saved me and my wife many times. The McMillian family owes you so much.â
âGrandpa Phillip, donât say that. Iâm happy that I could help.
Thatâs what sheâs supposed to do.
âYouâre the only girl in my life that I approve of! Only you can be my grandsonâs wife, and no one can replace you! Romeo dares to do anything to hurt you, I break his legs night away! The McMillian family is so lucky to have a smart and beautiful girl like you.â
Phillipâs voice was still choked with tears.
Arabella couldnât help but laugh, âWipe your tears first. Well come over in a bit.â
âGreat, thatâs great Phillip quickly wiped his tears, his voice filled with happiness.
At that moment, Romeo, who had finished his shower, hugged her from behind, âWas that my grandpa on the phone?â
He had heard the latter part of the conversation, so he guessed the person on the other end of the phone was his grandpa.
âYes, your grandma woke up. Weâre going to visit her in a bit, okay?â
âOkay.â
âDo you want to say a few words to your grandpa?â Arabella handed him the phone But Romeoâs arms were still firmly wrapped around Arabella. He lowered his head and smelled her scent, âNo need, hang up.â
They were going to go over there anyway. Anything that needed to be said could wait.
Phillip, who was still crying, was a bit angry when he heard his grandsonâs words. This ungrateful brat, forgetting his grandpa as soon as he had a fiancée, not even 15.01 = â
wanting to take a call! Humphi He didnât want to talk to this kid anymore!
âBella, since youâre making the trip here, why donât you stay for dinner?â âOkay, see you in a bit.â
After hanging up, Romeo kissed Arabella again, as if it would never end.
When they came down, Derek quickly bowed, âMr. McMillian, Arabella.â
Was it over already??
Itâs only been half an hour, and Mr. McMillian had even finished his shower, wasnât this a bit fast?
No way âWeâre not dining here tonight. Tell Gary he doesnât need to cook for us.â Even though Romeo noticed the surprise and confusion in Derekâs eyes, he didnât think twice about it âSure, Mr. McMillianâ
As Romeo left hand in hand with Arabella, Derek went to the garden to find Gary Gary was also a bit stunned. Did Mr. McMillian just up and leave like that? Was he done that quickly?â
Carl, who was playing games in the car, suddenly heard someone knocking on the window. He looked up, and his phone nearly dropped out of his hands in shock. âMr McMillian.â
He had barely been gone half an hour, and he was already back? Who wouldâve thought that Mr. McMillian, who seemed so tough and strong, would be such a quick shot.
Poor Ms Bellaâ
âWhat are you staring at me for? Unlock the car Romeo was oblivious to his thoughts âAlright.â Carl hurriedly hit the unlock button. Romeo opened the car door, let Arabella get in first, then followed her into the car and said, âDrive to Fairfield Manor âNow?â
Did something happen to Phillip?
âMy grandmother woke up.â
âOh, I seeâ
Carl quickly started the engine.
âWhat does your grandmother like the most?â In the car Arabella suddenly asked, âWe didnât bring any gifts. Itâs not very nice to show up empty handed.â
