Chapter 1375

Grandpa was fine, and only then could she leave the house with peace of mind.

Romeo replied, [Sure thing, take your time.]

As Arabella approached Darren's bedroom door, she caught a whiff of that distinct smell of liniment—a clear sign that something

was amiss. A housemaid, likely not expecting Arabella's sudden appearance, paled at the sight of her.

"Ms. Bella"

"Grandpa got hurt? Is that liniment | smell?"

Hearing Arabella's question, the maid bent deeply, clearly terrified, “Yes, Mr. Darren had a fall."

Without hesitation, Arabella hurried inside.

Meanwhile, Eunice, who had not yet finished her phone call, rushed over from the third-floor bay window where she had a clear

view of Serena coaxing Darren to pick up the pace, which unfortunately led to his fall.

Following close behind Arabella, Eunice entered the room, her expression grim.

The maid knew the incident couldn't be kept secret any longer. Although Serena had strictly ordered her not to breathe a word

about what had happened, if Ms. Bella were to find out somehow and the maid hadn't reported it, she'd face severe repercussions.

With that in mind, the maid bit her lip and dashed upstairs to find Darren.

Arabella quickly moved forward, passing through the living room to reach the master bedroom. There, she immediately saw Darren

lying in bed, his expression twisted in pain, with Serena sitting beside him, seerningly at a loss for what to do.

"Grandpa, did you fell? What happened?” Arabella rushed to his side, noting his clothes were still damp.

“Bella, you're here” Darren winced in pain, unable to move, "I just had a bit of a tumble"

"Did you fell outside?"

Arabella's question caught Darren off-guard, "How did you know?"

“Your clothes are soaked, and it's so cold outside. What were you doing out there?” As she spoke, Arabella turned to Serena, “His

clothes are this wet, and you saw it. Why didn't you get someone to change him?"

"He said he was in pain, so we didn't dare move him."

Afraid that moving him might cause a bone to shift or lead to more trouble.

“It's nothing, | just went for a walk.” Darren grimaced, the pain was too much to bear.

Arabella gently touched the area, "Is it here where it hurts?"

"Yes, yes, it's very sore." Darren contorted his face in agony.

“Let's have a look."

Arabella carefully lifted his shirt, and even this slight movement made Darren gasp in pain.

"Does it hurt here?" Arabella touched gently and asked again.

"It hurts"

“And here?” Arabella watched Darren's reaction closely.

"So sore."
