âIt might take over twenty days for them to regain consciousness.â
âIâve heard their condition is pretty sticky,â Romeo paused before adding, âbut I trust youâll figure out a way, no matter the problem, as long as youâre on it.â Arabella gave a small smile, âYou have faith in me?â
âYes,â Romeo affirmed, âto you, the world splits into two kinds, the living and the dead. As long as theyâre still breathing, youâll find a way to save them.â Arabella thought of her ongoing project, heavily funded but not progressing as well as she wished. She sighed, âBut there are so many diseases in the world I canât cure.â
âThatâs why you decided to go private with your research. You want to help more people, give those who are sentenced by their illnesses a chance to live. Youâre doing your best.â
âDo you think Iâm chasing rainbows?â
âNo, on the contrary, I think doctors should be like you, serving patients with an unselfish spirit. Thatâs real nobility.â
Hearing this, Arabella felt a warmth in her heart.
âYouâre amazing,â Romeo laughed, âIâm so proud to have such a brilliant fiancée.â
After chatting, Arabella ended the call, took a bath, and went downstairs for a lateânight snack.
âMs. Bella, are you done with work? This soup is specially prepared for you by the Madam,â Edithâ
brought out a bowl of soup from the kitchen, smiling, âTry it and see if you like it.â
Seeing that Edith hadnât rested yet, Arabella said, âYou should go to bed. Itâs late. I donât need taking care of.â
âIâm not sleepy,â Edith laughed, looking very kind. .
Arabella tried a few spoonfuls of soup, then asked softly, âDid my brother talk with Serena tonight?â
Edith was taken aback, âMs. Bella, how did you know?â
âI guessed,â Arabella said coolly.
âYou guessed?â Edith looked at her in surprise, âHow did you guess so accurately? You must be psychic.â
She didnât hide it and told Arabella directly, âTonight, I saw Hans and Serena chatting on the viewing platform on the second floor from the garden, but I was too far away to hear what they were saying.â
âThatâs fine,â Arabella said calmly, âI know what they were talking about.â
She thought he must be persuading Serena, hoping she could turn over a new leaf.
âDid my mom make two soups?â, Edith looked at Arabella in surprise again, âHow do you know everything? The Madam did make two, one for you and one for Serena. I would call Serena down after you finished eating, so you two wouldnât run into each other.â
Arabella didnât expect her to be so considerate. Her parents treated Serena and her equally, but Serena still made trouble for herself.
After finishing her snack, Arabella went upstairs.
She opened her computer, entered a special software, and input a string of chemical equations, then started researching the prescription needed for her grandparents.
This software could calculate what side effects would be produced after one drug was combined with another, which was very helpful for her research.
After a while, she received another call.
âBoss, we have a big order again! This wealthy client said he wants as much as we have in stock!
haha, you might need to prepare more designs tonight.â
âItâs not someone I know again, is it?â Arabella asked with a smile.
âI promise, this time, itâs definitely not! Itâs a foreign client!â
âAlright.â Arabella agreed confidently, âWhen do they need it?â
âPreferably before eight oâclock tomorrow morning because I still need to get the factory to rush the goods. We only have one day.â
âOkay,â Arabella hung up the phone and continued her work.
Elsewhere, Edith came to Serenaâs door and knocked, âSerena, the Madam has prepared a lateânight snack for you. Itâs something you like. Come down and eat.â
