The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 909

Clark's patience was commendable. Thank heavens his wounds were not too deep. Those thugs weren't out to kill him.

"What's on your mind?" Clark couldn't help but ask.

"Those guys were likely trying to bring us back alive, hence the non-fatal wounds." Arabella concluded, then added, "If it hurts, let me know."

“No way.” Clark started, but as the medicinal powder hit his wounds, he clenched his teeth against the pain. Even though Arabella tried to be as gentle as possible, the stinging pain from the medicine was enough to break him out in a cold sweat.

It was excruciating.

Arabella, seeing his face, had to stifle a laugh, "Just let it out. I won't laugh."

"It doesn't hurt at all." Clark managed to say, and his face contorted in pain.

"We'll be in the Triangular Zone soon. Follow my lead when we get there," Arabella smiled, continuing her treatment. "It's a bit chaotic; don't go wandering off on your own."

Clark was speechless.

Why did it sound like she was well-versed in the Triangular Zone?

Just then, Clark's phone buzzed. It was a message from Serena.

Private jets had satellite communication, meaning they could access the internet and make calls at any time.

Clark, struggling due to his injuries, took out his phone and saw multiple messages from Serena.

[Clark, Mom told me you and Bella are in Iridia. I have the weekend off, can I come and join you guys? ]

[I really want to take pictures at the Art Palace and feel the sea breeze at Mac Beach. ]

[Please let me come. I promise I will be back after two days. ]

Clark knew that Serena must have heard about him and Bella being in Iridia and assumed they were on vacation. Hence the plead.
