Also, this bread and milk are for you. I got them myself; donât worry, theyâre not poisonedâ
Serena said this and then bowed her head, seeming a bit embarrassed. Arabellaâs suspicion towards her seemed understandable.
1 already have this book, you can take it back.â
Arabella knew that the book was a rare find. On one hand, it was because the original author was a topâtier foreign genius doctor, so the content in the book was in a foreign language and full of professional terms, making it quite hard to understand.
On the other hand, thanks to Arabellaâs translation, it became the book with the highest translation accuracy in the country. She had only allowed the publisher to publish ten copies, each with her autograph Arabella was at her witsâ end with Serenaâs pestering. Just then, Kelly and Joyce came out of the library and saw them.
âWhat are you up to again?â Kelly immediately pulled Arabella behind her, and then she said to Serena, âIf youâve got nothing to do, why donât you hit the books in the library? Learn how to be a decent person.â
She glanced at the bag in Serenaâs hand and scoffed, âWho would dare to eat what you bought?â
Who knew what kind of nasty tricks she might be up to?
I really didnât poison.â Serena lowered her head, seeming a bit hurt. âThese are just baked today. If anythingâs wrong, Iâll stake my life on it.â
âIs your life worth as much as Bellaâs?â Kelly said, then she patted Joyce, âYou take Arabella and go.â
âOkay.â Joyce glanced at Kelly, then took Arabellaâs arm and left.
âSister Serena wanted to say something, but seeing Arabellaâs back, she swallowed her words.
âWhat sister? Who acknowledges you as a sister?â Kelly looked at Serena coldly and said, âWhatever youâre thinking, I suggest you better drop it. Arabella is my best friend in life, and I wonât let you hurt her.â
Serena felt a bit wronged and unwilling. âI really want to make up with Arabella and be friends with her.
âYou donât need to play the sisterly love card, Arabella doesnât need a friend like you.â Kelly interrupted Serena, âJust leave Arabella alone and do what youâre supposed to do, thereâs still a place for you in the Collins family. But if you step out of line, Iâll make sure you pay the price, got it?â
Serena didnât understand why she always received so much malice when she sincerely wanted to correct her mistakes.
âDonât worry, Iâll do what Iâm supposed to do, butil still want to make up with Arabella, I wonât change this decision.â Serena said, holding out the bag, âCould you please give these to Arabella?â
âDonât you understand what Iâm saying? What Arabella needs isnât bread or milk;
What she wanted wasnât material things.
Kelly said seriously, her tone firm and strong, âWhat she wants is just a happy family. If you understand this, youâll get a lot more.â
Serena looked at Kellyâs back and fell into deep thought.
Arabella didnât need another friend to shop, eat and do beauty treatments with.
Her life goal was medicine, which was completely different from what Serena was pursuing.
So, no matter how many times Serena tried, it was all for naught.
