Chapter 1162 The argument that had just transpired echoed in the ears of the nurse, and she was filled with sympathy.
But Arabella didn’t hear it. She was on the phone with Grandpa Beck, confirming their research findings.
Grandpa Beck relayed the results of several tests to her, and she shared her input. It was Grandpa Beck's job to tweak accordingly.

He quickly leaned in, “I'm here. Your mom and | are both here, and Mr. and Mrs. Collins too. Are you feeling okay? Should | get the doctor to check on you?" “Yes, yes, I'll get the doctor.” Celeste quickly rang the nurse's bell, and the nurse went to get Arabella.
Looking at her daughter's battered body, Celeste felt a mix of heartache and relief, “You're finally awake, you scared me. It's okay now, it's okay." “Mom. Crystal's voice was still weak, but she managed to put on a small smile, “Don't cry." Celeste didn't want to cry in front of her daughter, but when she heard these words, her tears flowed freely.
Her daughter was badly injured, yet she was the one comforting her.
“Mom, | want to go home." Upon hearing this, Alger and Celeste were stunned!
