The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1152

"Uncle Alger, it's not his fault." Carol tried to intercede but the poison coursing through her veins knocked her back.

She leaned against the wall, but the relentless torment inside her body took over, leaving her collapsed on the ground.

Despite not wanting to expose her vulnerability in front of the crowd, the excruciating pain stripped away any last ounce of dignity she had left.

Kenneth and Louisa were completely gobsmacked, even Serena was frozen on the spot.

What on earth was wrong with this girl?

She seemed seriously ill.

"Carol, are you feeling unwell again?" Clark rushed to catch her, "Calm down. Let me help you sit down."

"My daughter is suffering inside and you're worrying about another girl?" Alger stepped forward, once again grabbing Clark by the collar."

"Mr. Alger, calm down. You don't want to harm yourself. Your family needs you now." Kenneth quickly moved in to defuse the situation, pulling Alger's arm, "Don't worry, I'll get to the bottom of this."

When he saw Clark still concerned about Carol, his heart and mind completely focused on her.

Louisa slapped his shoulder in frustration, "You owe Mr. and Mrs. Temple an explanation, spit it out already!"

"Wait a minute, Carol is really suffering." Clark didn't want to add fuel to the fire, but no one understood how painful the poison was for Carol more than him.

He quickly took out the last of the antidotes his sister had given to Carol from his bag.

Once Carol had taken it, she seemed to feel a bit better.

However, her weakened body couldn't handle the combined effects of the poison and the antidote, and she immediately passed out, collapsing into Clark's arms.

"Doctor!"
