She didn't wait for anyone to ask. She just jumped right in to help. No showing off, no trying to polish her image.
Arabella blushed a little at Phillip's praise, "I was just giving it a shot. | wasn't sure it would work. It was mainly thanks to Grandma Shirley's strong constitution that she could handle the effects of the medicine.” Grannie Grace, on the other hand, was as fragile as paper.
Thinking of Grannie Grace, Arabella's eyes dimmed a bit. Romeo, noticing this, squeezed her hand, knowing she was missing Grannie Grace. He caressed her hand with his thumb to comfort her.

It was Phillips faith and trust that made today's miracle possible.
Even though Arabella was 80% sure then, there was still 20% uncertainty, which couldn't be ignored. Luckily, all the hurdles were behind them, and Grandma Shirley was here with them, listening to their conversation.
"The gold necklace you're wearing was a gift from Bella.” Phillip took Grandma Shirley's hand and said with a smile, "And the crown necklace you gave to Bella. Bella, are you wearing it today?" "I am." Arabella pulled out the necklace from her collar.
Romeo added, "Bella wears it every day." Grandma Shirley looked at the beautiful crown necklace and suddenly said, "Take it off." Phillip and Romeo thought they had heard wrong! "Grandma?" Romeo was confused. Was Grandma unhappy with Bella? "Dear, isn't this necklace supposed to be given to our grandson's wife." Phillip was also puzzled. Had her mental clarity faltered again, thinking someone had stolen her necklace? Romeo held Arabella’s hand tighter and said, "Grandma, Arabella is the love of my life. | will only marry her." "| said, take it off.” Grandma Shirley seemed to use all her strength to say this.
Arabella, seeing the look in Grandma Shirley's eyes, removed the necklace and handed it back.
Romeo's eyes deepened, and Phillip was in disbelief as Grandma Shirley took the necklace.
"I want to put it on for you myself." Grandma Shirley's voice was filled with tenderness and affection.

"Chere." Arabella had already figured out her intention, obediently moved closer, and knelt down.
She knew Grandma Shirley couldn't express herself as fluently as normal people, but it would get better with time.
"You scared me." Phillip patted his chest, wondering how anyone could not be satisfied with such a wonderful girl like Bella.
Turned out, she just wanted to put it on herself.
Grandma Shirley had just recovered. Her hands and feet weren't very agile, she tried to put the necklace on several times without success.
"My hands aren't as nimble anymore." Despite Grandma Shirley's best efforts to help Arabella wear this significant necklace, the clasp wasn't easy to fasten.
Arabella didn't show any impatience, "It's okay, take your time. We're not in a hurry." "I'm afraid you'll tire from squatting for so long."
