“It's all in the past,” Arabella dismissed, brushing off the hardships of the past eighteen years with ease.

She couldn't help but squeeze Arabella's hand, "I'm glad you're back. It proves there's justice in the world. With the Collins family and your aunt and uncles around, you won't have to suffer anymore." "I'm fine." “If there's anything you're uncomfortable with in the house, just let us know." “Everything's great." “Bella is easy-going. She doesn't fuss about anything,” Clark said with a smile, "She never asks for anything.

"lI haven't had tto prepare a present for our first meeting. Maybe when Christmas Eve arrives." Before Belinda could finish her sentence, David laughed, “Grandma, Christmas Eve has passed. It's past midnight now. It's Christmas Day: “It's Christmas already?” Belinda hadn't realized how quickly thad passed.

After all, Bella must have sacrificed a lot of her own work to take care of things here. If her grandmother could recover soon, it would ease Bella's burdens.
“Now that you're awake, shall | give you your medicine?" Arabella asked, signaling May to bring the herbal concoction from the kitchen.
“It's Christmas, maybe | could skip it today.” Belinda caught a whiff of the strong medicine from afar.
Ever since she fell ill, she had been consuming all sorts of medicine to the point where she was somewhat reluctant now.
“This medicine is good for you.” Arabella took the bowl of medicine and gently coaxed her.
Thinking about how the prescription was written by her own granddaughter, Belinda decided to brave it out, “Alright, I'll listen to you." "Here, drink it slowly” Arabella spoon-fed her the medicine.
Serena, who was watching from the side, was amazed at how naturally and harmoniously they seemed to get along.
