“Mom, Dad, I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be on my way.” Ethan stood, said his goodbyes, and left.
Just then, Matthew’s call came through.
Seeing his name on her screen, Arabella felt a flicker of surprise. Why would he be calling her?
Had he discovered something p>
“Mom, Dad, I’m finished as well. I’ll be upstairs,” Arabella said, taking her phone and heading to her room.
“Hello p>
“Grandpa took a sudden turn. Can you come check on him?” Matthew asked.
So it was about Robert. She couldn’t help but let out a quiet sigh of relief.
“What happened? I’ll be right there.” Arabella hung up, changed quickly, and hurried back downstairs.
Florence saw Arabella go up and come straight back down, apparently heading out. Thinking she might still be worried about the Macdonalds she followed and asked with concern, “Arabella, are you going out p>
“Yes. There’s a problem with Robert. I need to go see him,” Arabella explained.
Hearing it was about Robert, Naomi immediately set down her toast and walked over. “Has Mr. Stewart’s condition worsened? ”

Arabella glanced at her. “I’m not sure yet, but I need to get there now p>
“I’ll come with you,” Naomi offered, also concerned about Robo
Arabella gave her a look but didn’t refuse, then turned to leave,
“Be careful on the road,” Florence called after her.
Soon, Arabella’s sports car pulled out of Cloudrise Manor and headed toward the hospital.

“No, it was Matthew,” Arabe p>

So Matthew was at the hospital. If she showed up with Arabella and he saw her, would he be angry?
After a moment’s hesitation, she looked uneasily at Arabella. “Maybe you could just drop me off somewhere along the way. I won’t go after all
Arabella frowned, shooting her a brief glance. First she insists on coming, and now when I’m in a hurry, she changes her mind?
“Not possible. I can’t stop right now. If you don’t want to go, you can take a cab back from the hospital.” She wasn’t pulling over.
Seeing Arabella wouldn’t stop, Naomi had no choice but to wait quietly until they arrived and then figure it out.
Soon, Arabella’s car reached the hospital.
After parking, she headed straight inside without another word to Naomi.
Naomi stood there for a moment, watching Arabella enter, feeling torn. Should she go in to see Robert or not?
After a brief internal struggle, she decided she’d come this far–she might as well check on him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t feel right.
She hurried after Arabella.
“How is he?” Arabella’s voice carried from inside Robert’s room.
Seeing her arrive, some of the tension eased from Matthew’s
expression.
“Dr. Macdonald, please take a look. Robert started having severe muscle spasms. We administered his medication, but they haven’t stopped!” The doctor, Owen Lewis, explained, his face pale.
“Alright.” Arabella moved to Robert’s side, took out her needles, and began treatment.
Owen watched nervously, hardly daring to breathe, afraid something might go wrong on their watch.
Naomi slipped quietly into the room. Seeing Robert spasming on the bed, she almost gasped
aloud, but caught herself in time, covering her mouth.mi
Matthew noticed Naomi enter. Annoyance flashed in his eyes. Why was she here?

Glancing at Arabella, who was still focused on Rebert, Matthew turned and walked toward Naomi, giving her a look that said “follow me p>
He didn’t want her in the room distracting Arabella,
Out in the hallway, Matthew faced her, his expression cool. “Did you forget what I said p>
“No, I just overheard Arabella say Mr. Stewart had taken a turn, and I was worried, so I came along,” Naomi replied, looking up at him with a hint of grievance.
“What happened to him just now?” she asked, concern in her voice.
“You saw for yourself. It’s busy in there. You should go home,” Matthew said, not interested in further conversation. He needed to get back.
With that, he turned and reentered the room.
Naomi was left standing alone in the corridor, feeling dismissed.
After Arabella’s treatment, Robert’s spasms gradually subsided.
She let out a slow breath and sat down to rest. Then she looked at Owen. “What medication did you give him today p>
“I thought… since he seemed to be improving, a small addition of modern medicine might help speed his recovery. I didn’t expect this reaction,” Owen admitted, his voice growing quieter, full of self–reproach.
Arabella looked at him, exasperated. “What were my instructions when I left? Why didn’t you follow them?
“Do you realize how dangerous that was? If I hadn’t gotten here in time and something had happened to Robert, who in this hospital could Have taken responsibility p>
