Steven felt guilty and kept apologizing, âSorry, Ms. Bella. Iâm sorry. I didnât take good care of Ms.
Amelia. Please punish me.â
âBella, donât punish Steven! He was already extremely busy and tired. He did his best to take care of
me. Donât blame him, okay?â Ameliaâs face turned pale with fright as she begged, afraid of implicating
Steven.
âWell, he did make a mistake. Steven, your punishment is to take
Amelia out for a day. Go to the best restaurant in Hatchbay and bring her to her favorite dessert place.
Donât come back before the sun
sets. Do you hear me?â Bella had an iron face.
Amelia was stunned. âB-Bellaâ¦â
Steven was relieved. He looked at Amelia with a gentle smile in his eyes. âMs. Amelia, youâll have to
make do with me today.â
Make do?
Being able to go on a date with Steven alone was something Amelia
would not even dare to dream of!
Butâ¦
âAmelia, donât worry.â
Bella knew what Amelia was thinking and caressed her hair lovingly.â
Iâll be in charge at home. Nothing will go wrong. Youâve been tense for
many days and need to relax. Itâs not good for your body to be
stressed for too long. Go out and have some fun with Steven.â
After sending Amelia and Steven away, Bella did not rush to see
Celeste. Instead, she found Mila.
âDonât try to meet her now. She refused to see even your father.
must have been a severe blow to her. She needs some time alon
Mila looked down, feeling upset when she recalled what happened
that day.
âIâll try to talk to Aunt Celeste later.â
Bella pursed her lips and stayed silent for quite some time with her
head hung low. Then, she spoke softly, âAunt Mila, I have an
unreasonable request.â
âChild, what are you talking about? What unreasonable request?â
Mila glared at Bella and poked her soft face. âIf you keep acting
politely with me, donât look for me when you need something in the
future!â
Bella giggled and leaned her head on Milaâs shoulder. âI was wrong. Then Iâll just say it. Aunt Mila, I
heard you have a nephew in Meridan
who is an excellent neurosurgeon. He is also the youngest Ph.D. in
the history of the National Academy of Medicine in Meridan.â
âDo you mean Arnold?â Mila frowned slightly.
âYes. Arnold Larson.â
Bella blushed in embarrassment. âCan you please ask him to come to Savrow? I have a request.â
Mila blinked and scrutinized her. âWhat happened? Did you two start dating online?â
Bella was speechless.
âDid you want him to come back to meet him in person?â
Mila made herself excited as she spoke. She clapped her hands and
exclaimed, âThis is great! Heâs a doctor from a scholarly family, and
youâre a lady from a wealthy household. What a perfect match! Arnold is also my nephew, so I know
him well. I am in favor of this marriage!â
Bella frowned and smiled in exasperation. âAunt Mila! Where are you
getting these ideas? I need Dr. Larson for something urgent! Last
time in the car park, Justin suffered a grave head injury to save me.
Although he had surgery, it left some after-effects. I canât help him, so
I wonder if Dr. Larson would have a way to treat him.â
Looking at how anxious Bella was, Mila felt a mix of emotions.
Mila still hated Justin, but she had to admit that he had contributed
greatly.
âAunt Mila, what is it? Are you unwilling?â
Bella sighed and blamed herself. âI was rash. I forgot that youâve
almost cut off all ties with the Larson family to be with my dad. Itâs
unreasonable of me to ask this.â
âItâs not that. Although I donât interact with the Larson family
anymore, Iâve had a great relationship with Arnold. He respects me.
But Arnold has an unconventional character, and even I canât figure
out what heâs thinking at times. I will try to persuade him, but if heâs unwilling, thereâs nothing much I
can do.â
âIf heâs unwilling, I have my ways.â
Bella gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes. âAt worst, Iâll call Drew He has many methods to bring
Arnold back, even if heâs overseas
