Chapter 1397
Romeo couldn't believe how quickly Eunice had taken to him, looking at Arabella with a gentle light in his eyes.
“Aunt Eunice."
Eunice noted his quick adaptation and turned her gaze to Martin.
Though Martin had a multitude of questions bubbling inside, he obediently said, “Aunt Eunice."
Eunice crossed her arms over her chest, exuding the air of a matriarch, "Follow me."
Serena quickly interjected, "Aunt Eunice, Martin's hurt. | want to take him to the hospital for a check-up."
She feared that stepping into that house would expose her charade.
Eunice turned around, her profile as beautiful as ever, “What don't we have here in terms of medicine? Besides, the world's
greatest doctor is right in front of you, isn't she?"

Martin looked puzzled. What did she mean, the best doctor? Where?
“What, without your uncle around, my words don't carry weight, right?"
"Of course not." Serena was feeling a tad guilty.
“Thank you for the invite, Aunt Eunice.” Martin didn't want to make things difficult for Serena, whispering to her, "I'm fine."
Serena wasnt really worried about his injuries; she was worried about keeping up her facade.
Eunice led the way, her figure commanding and elegant.
Serena's mind was a mess, but she steeled herself to follow.
Romeo, holding Arabella's hand, softened his gaze, "Meeting the parents already?"
“Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"
“] didn't cprepared, empty-handed.” Romeo felt a bit rude.
“Aunt Eunice doesn't care much for gifts. She cares about whether you are a good guy."
“Then I'll make sure to make a good impression."
In the living room.
Eunice sat in the seat of honor, her curls and red lipstick flawless, radiating authority.
She directed the servants to serve tea, her lips curving into a smile, "Your uncle's out, and your grandpa's already gone to bed."
Arabella showed concern, "Is Grandpa's health improving?"
"Following your advice, he got his X-rays done, just as you suspected, no fractures or ligament damage. The doctor praised your
medicine, even wanted to bulk purchase it for the hospital. | told therm you made it yourself."
Martin was taken aback. It seemed Romeo's new flhad medical knowledge. She could even make her own medicine that

“Bella, the cost of making your medicine must be high, huh?" Eunice's smile grew, "The doctor said such good medicine would

“Much more." Romeo looked at Arabella tenderly, "Even ten times that wouldn't be enough to buy it"
"That popular?" Eunice laughed with approval, "Seems the doctor didn't realize what he had, undervaluing your medicine.
"As long as grandpa is okay, that's all that matters.” Arabella finally felt relieved.
“With you here, grandpa will always bounce back."
The servants brought in tea and snacks, and Eunice instructed, "Fetch the first-aid kit."
She turned to Arabella, asking with a smile, "For Martin's condition, what medicine would be best?"
Arabella knew his injury wasn't severe, just a punch, and if it were the old her, she wouldn't have needed any medicine.
"An ice pack for the swelling, any simple analgesic will do," Arabella still offered her suggestion.
"Perfect, we've got disposable ice packs and saspirin.” Eunice pulled out these items from the first-aid kit and sent a servant
to give them to Martin.
