The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1145

Outside, a blanket of snow covered the land, making it difficult for anyone, especially the elderly and the sick, to venture out without catching a cold.

Serena couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed. She thought, "Why can't she just mind her own business?"

But she still cajoled her grandmother, "The view outside is so beautiful, Grandma. If we wait any longer, the sun will set and we won't be able to see this stunning winter wonderland."

Belinda and Serena's mother had a habit of indulging her requests--a habit she had been nurturing for eighteen years. This time was no different.

"Alright, alright. Let's go outside."

Serena was overjoyed. As she tried to help her grandmother onto the wheelchair, she found that her grandmother was heavier than she expected. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't lift her.

"You're not even half as strong as Bella." Belinda chuckled. "Despite her petite frame, Bella's quite strong."

Serena quickly turned to the maid, "Why aren't you helping me?"

"You're sweating, Serena." Belinda noticed beads of sweat forming on Serena's forehead and chuckled again. "Don't rush, it's okay."

Finally, with the maid's help, Serena managed to move her grandmother onto the wheelchair.

"Madam, Serena, I'll join you two," the maid volunteered.

"No need. I can take care of Grandma," Serena insisted.

Before the maid could respond, Serena continued, "Why can't I take Grandma out alone? Are you afraid that I won't take care of her as well as my sister, or that you can't trust me?"

"Serena, that's not what I meant at all!" The maid was taken aback by Serena's sudden outburst.
