DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 611-620
Chapter 611
Enid’s face had turned sour. She grudgingly took the gift and cast an unhappy glance at the living room.
Phillip and Shirley were chatting with Arabella, who was sandwiched between them, all smiles. It looked like they were one big happy family! Before, Phillip had been rude to the Winters family, but now he seemed like a different person in front of Arabella!
“Ms. Enid, if you please.” Brodie gestured invitingly.
With no other option, Enid steeled herself and left.
She had never been treated like this in her life!
In the past, she was always the one bullying others, making them suffer. This was the first time she’d ever been on the receiving end!
Once she got into her luxury car, she took out her phone and sent out a message.
“Find out which class Arabella is in!”
She was definitely going to find a way to get back at Arabella!
After a while, her phone buzzed twice. She received a reply.
She muttered in disbelief, ‘Straight–A student studying neurology?”
Ha, just as she thought, too much studying had made her go bonkers!
The competition in neurology was fierce in hospitals today, with high demands on doctors. Who would dare confidently claim they could become a leading figure in this field?
After graduation, with Arabella’s abilities, she will probably end up being a mere assistant in a small hospital.
How could the McMillan family be interested in someone like her?
Back in the living room.
Shirley gently patted Arabella’s hand and said, “Bella, I’m sorry you had to go through that.”
Arabella smiled slightly and said, “It’s okay for you all stood up for me.”
Those who needed a warning had been warned.
Those who needed to apologize may not have been sincere, but at least they apologized.
This was a lesson to the Winters family. Any further fuss would make them look petty.
Arabella realized, it was because of a debt of gratitude. No wonder Mr. Winters had indulged his granddaughter’s tantrum, and Enid had also dared to spout off, because they knew the McMillan family wouldn’t be rude to their saviors.
How shameless.
“If she bullies you at school, tell grandma right away, Shirley advised anxiously. “If necessary, I’ll have her transferred to a different school, so she doesn’t cause you any trouble.”
Arabella wasn’t too concerned: “It’s okay, the school’s big so we might not even run into each other.”
Even if they did, she wouldn’t be the one at a disadvantage.
Just then, Brodie, having seen off the guests, brought a bowl of medicine from the kitchen for Shirley.
He spoke very respectfully: “Shirley, your medicine is ready.”
Arabella smelled the faint bitterness in the air and it was the herbs she had prepared. She looked at Brodie and asked, “How much of this medicine is left?”
“There’s enough for a week.”
“I’ll have someone deliver more in a few days. Grandma’s condition has improved, so the dosage can be slightly reduced.”
Upon hearing this, Shirley lit up. “Really?”
Chapter 612
“So, the dosage has been reduced from 1 gram to 0.8 grams now.” Arabella guessed her expectation and gently said, “The frequency remains the same, and the taste is still a bit bitter. There won’t be ntuch change.”
“Alright, you’re so considerate, Bella.” Under Phillip’s care, Shirley finished the medicine in the bowl.
Then Brodie took the bowl away, and after a while, he brought another one.
“Phillip, this one’s for you.”
It was the medicine Arabella had previously prescribed for Phillip. It’s good for the heart, once a week.
The moment Phillip smelled it, he frowned, but Arabella was still here, so he plucked up the courage and said, “Bella’s meds just smell different. The taste is rich, and it’s so delicious! It’s really a treat, hahaha!”
Arabella watched him finish it in one go, sympathy welling up at the bitterness in his eyes.
Beside them, Romeo smirked, “Delicious? I’ll have Bella make more for you to strengthen your body.”
Phillip: Thank you very much!
“It’s getting late; take Bella home to rest.” Phillip was afraid Bella might actually give him more meds then that would be the end of him.
Arabella knew Phillip wanted them to leave and have their own time, so she smiled and said, “Well, grandma and grandpa, we’ll be heading off now. We’ll visit again when we have time.”
Romeo’s eyes shifted, and his aura softened. She said “We“.
Since when did she include him in her plans, saying “we” more and more often?
“Bella means we’ll visit again next time.” Romeo emphasized the word “we” and reminded Phillip, “Don’t pour the medicine away.”
“Don’t badmouth me in front of Bella! I’ve never poured away any of Bella’s medicine.”
“Really?” Romeo retorted, “That plant looks like it was scorched to death.”
Phillip followed his gaze to the one–meter plant between the living room and the courtyard and stuttered, “That time I didn’t hold the bowl well, it spilled accidentally.”
Admitted it??
“It’s all Brodie’s fault! The medicine he gave me was too hot, so I accidentally let go. Brodie, it’s your fault! Be careful next time.”
Brodie: I’ve put up with too much over the years.
“Really, Bella, your medicine is so precious so how could I pour it away? Every time I finish it, I want more!”
Romeo and Brodie were at a loss for words.
Arabella tried not to laugh. “It’s fine, as long as you didn’t scald yourself.”
“See, Bella cares about me!”
Romeo just set traps! Phew!! Let’s go quickly!
“We’re heading off.” Romeo took Arabella’s hand, his gaze softening as it landed on her.
After saying goodbye to grandma and grandpa, Arabella got in the car, and after a while, Romeo got in too.
He took her hand, walking and talking, and said, “Mr. Eugene is always so proud. For him to invite you to play chess and look forward to your arrival, you must be really good at it, right?”
“It’s okay.”
“So you won against Mr. Eugene, and he lost his cherished possession to you, which you gave to grandma!”
“How did you know?” Arabella looked up, seeming surprised.
Romeo realized he had underestimated her. He didn’t expect her to be so good at chess.
“Is there anything you can’t do?” As soon as Romeo finished speaking, he leaned in close, teasing, “I know.”
Arabella: “What?”
Romeo looked at her lips, the breath of his words lightly falling on her lips: “You can’t kiss.”
Romeo’s lips gently touched hers. “Like this, have you learned it?”
Arabella lifted her eyelids and playfully asked, “You’re not even good at it yourself, and you have the nerve to teach me?”
“That’s because I haven’t had the chance to practice. Let’s see if you’ll give me the chance.”
Arabella: “What do you mean?”
Was he blaming her for not giving him more opportunities to practice kissing?
Chapter 613
She didn’t give him a chance, but he still got close, didn’t he?
At this moment, Romeo noticed there was another person outside the car. He rolled down his window and asked, “Anything else, grandpa?”
Phillip had been standing there for a while, witnessing everything.
“Nah, I’m good. Just out for a walk.”
Taking a walk alone and leaving grandma at home, really?
“You guys carry on.”
Phillip turned to leave. His wife had seen their car parked there for a long time without moving, thinking it was broken, and was about to come over to see if they needed a replacement.
Turned out they were overthinking things!
These two youngsters were just making out in the car.
Carl was tactful enough to find an excuse to get out of the car and leave them be.
As they hit the road, Arabella felt some discomfort in herilower abdomen. Was it her period coming?
Thinking about this, she told Carl in front, “Step on it.”
“Huh?” Carl was a bit confused. “Ms. Bella, is there an emergency?”
“Mhm.”
Sitting in the seat, Arabella could feel something seeping out from below.
Damn. Too late.
Romeo’s gaze fell on her. “What’s wrong?”
Was she tired and wanted to go home to rest, or did she suddenly remember something urgent she needed to handle?
What could possibly need handling at this late hour?
Carl was still in the front so it wasn’t convenient for Arabella to say. When they arrived at Romeo’s mansion, Arabella said, “Carl, you can catch a cab home.”
At this late hour, could he even get a cab here?
Although Carl responded respectfully, he couldn’t figure out Arabella’s mood and felt a bit desolate inside.
Ms. Bella was no longer that considerate little girl from before.
When he left to hail a cab, Arabella told Romeo, “You get out first.”
“Huh?” Romeo looked at her puzzled, noticing something was off. “Are you not feeling well?”
Why would she want to stay in the car alone?
“I got my period.” Arabella was a bit embarrassed. “I’ve messed up your car.”
So that’s what it was.
Romeo’s eyes softened. “It’s alright, it’s just a car. I’ll carry you in.”
“No.” Arabella didn’t want to stain his clothes.
Romeo was amused by her, rarely seeing her like this: “Don’t worry, no one will see.”
Derek and Gary were still in the mansion and they should be resting by–now.
Arabella looked at his white shirt, still hesitating, when the next second, Romeo used his suit jacket to wrap around her waist and carried her out of the car.
Carl finally understood. So Ms. Bella wanted Mr. McMillan to carry her, but why did she want him to leave? Was she shy?
But why would she tie a jacket around her waist in the hot summer?
As Carl was still pondering, Romeo shot him a glance, and he quickly averted his eyes, realizing he had been staring at Ms. Bella a bit too long.
Surely Romeo didn’t think he was checking out Ms. Bella’s waist, right?!
Chapter 614
Romeo took Arabella to the master bathroom on the second floor and gently put her down, saying, “Hang on a sec.”
He turned around and went to the dressing room to get clean clothes and the necessary supplies for her period. After opening the package, he had no clue how to use the sanitary pads properly, so he looked it up online and then helped Arabella put it on. Arabella blushed when she saw it. She didn’t expect him to be that thorough, but the thing was, he put it on backwards. wards.
“Did I put it on wrong?” Romeo noticed her reaction..
“Um,” Arabella murmured, ‘you put it on backward.”
Romeo looked down at the thing in his hand.
“The smaller end goes in the front.”
Got it.
Romeo ripped off the pad and tossed it into the trash bin, then put a new one on, his movements much smoother than before.
“Do you need me to help you change?”
“No need!” Arabella took the stuff from his hand and, quickly closed the door, her face redder than ever.
After a while, Romeo heard the sound of water running. Arabella must be trying to wash her dirty clothes after taking a shower.
Romeo walked up and knocked on the door. “Bella, leave the clothes there and don’t touch the cold water.”
Arabella didn’t think he would notice even that. The blushing Arabella, who had finally calmed down, turned beet red again.
“I wash it with warm water so it’ll be quick.”
She at least wanted to wash off those stains. Otherwise, Derek would see them when he came to collect the dirty clothes tomorrow.
“No need for you to do the laundry, just listen to me.” Romeo, seeing her not responding, knocked on the door again and said, “Leave them there and I’ll wash them later.”
“There is no need for you to.”
“Be good; come out.”
Seeing that Romeo was still knocking on the door, Arabella had no choice but to put the clothes aside and open the door, and the next second, she was carried to the bed by Romeo.
Since there were only two men, Derek and Gary, in the house, Romeo guessed that Arabella was worried that Derek would see these when he came to collect the dirty clothes the next day.
With that in mind, he suddenly felt he had been negligent. He should have called a woman to take care of her. Otherwise, there might be times when Arabella would
feel uncomfortable.
“Just sit for a bit.” Romeo placed the pillow behind her, covered her with the quilt, and brought her a hot water bottle.
The hot water bottle was heated by Romeo while Arabella was taking a shower, and the temperature was just right at this moment.
“You put it on your lower abdomen to keep warm.”
Seeing her lips turning a bit pale, Romeo spoke softly, “Wait a sec.”
At this time, Derek had gone to rest. Romeo took out the medicine he had prepared in advance and brought it to Arabella.
“It’s not hot; just right to drink.”
Arabella saw his meticulous care and knew without thinking that he must have prepared in advance.
“Is it too bitter?” Romeo saw her take a sip and asked softly.
“Not really.”
“Let me try.” Romeo took a light sip from the cup she had drunk from and asked, “Can you handle it?” Romeo’s voice was full of concern: “If you don’t feel like drinking, then don’t.”
“Alright.”
Chapter 615
Romeo watched as she lifted her slender neck, taking sips from her cup, his heart aching more with every drink.
Already uncomfortable from her period, she still had to drink this crap. It was too much.
He decided he’d check later to see which manufacturer produced it to see if it could be improved. He couldn’t bear to see his girlfriend suffering like this. Once she finished drinking, Romeo took the cup and placed it aside, whispering, “Why not use it? Is it too cool or too hot?”
“It’s a bit heavy and uncomfortable on my stomach.”
“Then let me warm you up.” Romeo gently caressed her lower abdomen and asked, “Is this better?”
Arabella wanted to say his hand was too cold, less warm than the hot–water bottle. But seeing his earnest effort, she nodded her head in the end.
His eyes didn’t miss the expression on her face. Romeo thought for a moment and placed his hand on his stomach. He realized his palm temperature wasn’t warm enough, despite the clothing.
He grabbed the hot–water bottle again, warming his hands first before placing them on Arabella’s abdomen.
“Is this better than before?”
Seeing his sincere inquiry, Arabella felt warmth in her heart-
He could catch and comprehend every single expression and glance from her.
“Yeah, much better,” Arabella replied with a smile.
“I have some painkillers that the doctor said can help if the pain gets too intense.”
Just then, Arabella’s phone started to vibrate. Romeo stood up and said, “I’ll get it.”
The phone screen flashed. It was a call from Caden.
Seeing that name, Romeo hesitated. Was this guy always calling Arabella? For what reason at this late hour? Did he think Arabella was alone at school without her fiancé?
Arabella noticed Romeo seemed a bit angry when he handed over the phone. Seeing the caller ID, she couldn’t help but laugh.
She picked up the call in front of Romeo.
“Arabella, are you busy?” Caden’s voice came through: “Are you tired recently?”
“I’m fine.” Arabella replied, glancing at Romeo and feeling more amused. “What’s up?”
“There’s a difficult patient at the hospital. Can you come and take a look?”
“Now?”
Upon hearing this, Romeo instantly shot her a warning look: You dare go on a date this late? Just try it!
“Can you make it? The patient has a headache, dizziness, facial paralysis, and left–side weakness. After examination, we found a plaque deep in the middle cerebral artery and two aneurysms about to rupture.”
Arabella realized the gravity of the situation. Both plaque and aneurysms could lead to disability or even death.
Their simultaneous occurrence could potentially result in cerebral hemorrhage and ischemic stroke.
“The problem is that the patient’s right M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery is severely narrowed with M2 branch stenosis. After intensive medical treatment, the cerebral infarction still recurs. The interventional treatment is difficult and risky, and the long–term effect of the stent is not good.”
Unaware of Romeo’s jealousy, Caden continued explaining the case: “The only solution right now is to perform intracranial vascular reconstruction to improve cerebral ischemia, which might reduce the risk of severe cerebral infarction.”
Romeo didn’t understand their conversation. He only knew Caden had been talking for a while, and Arabella had no intention to hang up. He even took her hand, a displeased look on his face.
Arabella understood. To perform surgery and clear the blocked cerebral vessels, the plaque inside the vessels must be removed manually first, a bightly difficult
process.
The M2 segment was located deep in the lateral fissure of the brain, with extremely limited operational space, about the size of a finger.
Moreover, the diameter of the middle cerebral artery was less than 3 millimeters. To completely remove the plaque and suture the vessels, microsurgery required magnification of more than a dozen times under a microscope, demanding high precision from surgical instruments and the surgeon’s skills.
The doctors at the hospital clearly lacked such capabilities.
Caden were to operate alone, the risk would undoubtedly be high..
Chapter 616
“Can you come over now? We still haven’t figured out the best surgical plan.”
None of those guys can hold a candle to Caden. All they’ve got on duty were greenhorns.
They were not as experienced as Caden. They might be debating, but the final say was still in Caden’s hands.
Caden didn’t have any better ideas either. This case hadn’t been seen at home yet.
The patient’s family had been to many hospitals. They ended up at Hope Hospital. If even Hope Hospital can’t treat him, there’s practically no hospital in the country that would dare to take this case.
“It’s a critical situation.”
If he didn’t have 100% assurance, he wouldn’t be calling in the middle of the night; disturbing her rest.
“I’m on my way.”
As soon as Arabella said this, Romeo gave her fingers a squeeze, a look of jealousy and warning in his eyes.
Arabella gently stroked his head, telling him to cut it out. This was a matter of life and death so there was no room for fooling around.
But Romeo turned his face away, apparently miffed.
“Do you need any other doctors? I can call them. Who do you need? I’ll get them over right away.”
It’s nighttime and most doctors were gone, just a few interns left in the ER.
“No need. You’ll do.”
Caden’s words made Romeo even more jealous. He squeezed Arabella’s hand, daring her to say it again.
“Should I have a friend pick you up from school?” Caden had to stay and monitor the patient. At this hour, he’s the only doctor who can help.
“No need. I’ll get there myself.”
Romeo was even more pissed off.
After Arabella hung up, she saw Romeo’s anger. She took his hand and gave it a gentle shake.
His anger was somewhat placated by her gesture, which became softer.
1
“Do you think it’s appropriate to leave your fiancé in the middle of the night to meet another man?”
“Romeo.”
“I don’t want to hear your explanation.” Romeo seemed to have decided not to let her go..
“You’re misunderstanding.” Arabella took his hand and briefly explained the situation.
Her soft little hand made his anger disappear.
“If I don’t participate in this surgery, relying only on him, the risk is indeed high.”
Although the surgery was not complicated, the few people in the hospital at this time were not skilled enough.
“You’re not a hospital employee.” Romeo was still upset. “And you’re on your period so you should rest.”
“I don’t feel uncomfortable.” Arabella wanted to involve Romeo to reassure him, “You can come with me.”
“What can I do?”
He can’t perform surgery. Would he just stand by and watch them talk in medical jargon and share insights? That would make him feel worse.
“You can supervise me and see if I behave improperly or if I’m being flirtatious with other men.”
Romeo was amused by her.
Seizing the opportunity, Arabella said, “He’s been taking care of my grandma all along. We haven’t been dating in private.”
Their communication was all about medicine, with no personal feelings involved.
“I’m aware of his intentions towards you.”
Romeo had noticed the way Caden looked at Arabella before. Those eyes clearly showed a love that he wanted to control but couldn’t, mixed with restraint and
pain.
“Who would dare compete with you for your fiancée?” Arabella stood up, took his hand, and said, “Come on, go with me.”
Chapter 617
Otherwise, the sickness was going to get worse.
At this late hour, there’s no way Romeo would let her drive alone. The last time she drove to Hope Hospital, the memory of her speed still gave him the creeps. “Finally got a break and it’s all taken up by someone else,” Romeo grumbled.
Arabella looked up and smiled, saying, “I’ll make it up to you.”
“How?”
“Bow your head.”
Just as Romeo lowered his handsome face, Arabella stole a quick kiss.
Romeo’s grumpiness vanished, and his mood instantly lifted.
Arabella took the initiative to kiss him!
He smiled and said, “One kiss is not enough.”
“Another one later.”
“Remember, no takebacks,” Romeo became incredibly happy, hugging her as they walked. “If you skimp on it, I’m going to give you hell, got it?” “I got it.”
When they arrived at the hospital, Caden looked quite startled at the sight of Romeo.
Arabella was supposed to be at school so why was she with Romeo?
Romeo’s eyes were filled with hostility, clearly viewing Caden as a rival.
“Dr. Caden, is this the expert you talked about?” The patient’s family was surprised at how young the expert was, just a girl in her late teens. But now she didn’t care; she rushed forward, holding Arabella’s hand, and cried, “Doctor, please save him.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best.” Arabella then turned to Caden and said, “What are you standing there for? Go change your clothes.”
Arabella quickly headed towards the operating room.
Caden didn’t look at Romeo anymore. “What’s your decision?”
“Right MCA M2 segment plaque removal + superficial temporal artery bypass + MCA M1 bifurcation multiple aneurysm clipping.” Romeo couldn’t quite catch what Arabella said next. She entered the operating room, and the lights in the room turned on. Romeo sat on the bench outside the operating room, waiting for about an hour, when Arabella came out.
The patient’s family rushed forward, crying, “Doctor, how is it?”
“The patient is safe now and can be transferred to a general ward.“”
“Thank you.” The patient’s family wanted to kneel down to thank Arabella.
Arabella quickly helped her up, saying, “No need for that; this is my job. The anesthetic hasn’t worn off yet; the patient hasn’t woken up.”
“Alright, thank you, doctor.” The family member wanted to ask for Arabella’s name but saw the patient being wheeled out and quickly went over.
Arabella walked up to Romeo and said, “I’m going to change.”
“You’ve worked hard and I’ll give you a massage in a bit.”
Arabella smiled at him and said, “I’m not tired.”
Caden also came out of the operating room, and after instructing his assistant about some basic conditions, his assistant wheeled the patient away.
He locked eyes with Romeo from afar but neither of them spoke.
Arabella came out and saw Romeo standing there and thought he was spacing out
“We can go now.”
“Alright.” Romeo pulled her into his arms assertively and leaned down to give her a kiss.,
Arabella smiled and said, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“I didn’t wait long, I was just a bit hungry and wanting some perks.”
Arabella gently pushed him away.
Caden watched their affectionate figures disappear from view, his eyes growing dim.
Chapter 618
Arabella’s phone started buzzing as soon as she stepped foot in the hospital and it was from Caden.
“Arabella, have you left the hospital already? If not, can you swing by? Someone wants to meet you”
Arabella was a bit confused. “Who?”
“Some guy
from the Ministry of State Security of Solterra, Caden’s voice seemed a tad tense.
A bunch of questions popped up in Arabella’s mind. The Ministry of State Security of Solterra was also known as the National Intelligence Agency, the country’s top anti–espionage and political defense agency. But why would they want to see her in the middle of the night at a hospital?
“The guy you just saved works for the Ministry of State Security. Their boss wants to see you.”
Given the nature of their job, their identities were kept under wraps, so Arabella understood.
“Okay, I’m on my way.”
After hanging up, she briefly explained to the man next to her, “They probably want to ask me about the patient. Wait for me in the car and I’ll be back shortly.” “Alright, be careful. Call me immediately if something comes up.”
“Will do.”
Arabella headed upstairs, and Caden led the way: “He’s in my office with a few guys.”
Worried she might be scared, Caden reassured her, “I’ll be right outside. Holler if you need anything, and I’ll come running.”
“Got it.”
Caden opened the door and closed it slowly after Arabella had stepped in, leaving them to their private conversation.
Arabella was greeted by a strapping figure.
“Sir, she’s here.”
His subordinates all seemed serious and admirable, all young men.
The man turned around, revealing a decisive and handsome face, radiating energy.
performed the operation earlier. How can I assist?” Arabella broke the silence.
Despite being in a room full of brave men, she didn’t flinch. Instead, she seemed remarkably composed.
The men were surprised to see a young girl standing before them, let alone one with such courage, fearless even in the face of their boss. She had a strong nerve.
After all, even Ministry of State Security staff get a bit jittery around the boss.
“How old are you?”
The man’s voice was clear, as were his eyes, seeming to harbor no ill intentions.
Arabella replied truthfully, “Eighteen.”
The men were startled: She’s just eighteen and already performing surgeries?
Although the Ministry of State Security had many young prodigies, they’d never seen one as young and pretty as her..
“Did you study medicine?” the man asked again.
“I know a bit about it.”
“Why aren’t you in school at eighteen?”
“I am in school.”
“Which university?”
Arabella started to get impatient. “Does this have anything to do with the operation I performed tonight?”
The men were even more shocked. Did she know who she’s talking to? He’s the deputy director of the Ministry of State Security of Solterra! If he wasn’t so young, he would have been promoted already!
But this young girl wasn’t intimidated by his authority. Instead, she exuded a powerful aura, as if she could devour anyone in the room.
One word could describe her fearless!
The leading man chuckled and said, “Your operation was successful. Would you be interested in joining the Ministry of State Security?” Rumor had it that this young girl had performed many challenging surgeries before. She was young, but her medical skills were unmatched.
Chapter 619
Agents of the Ministry of State Security kept their identities secret, and sometimes they got injured on special missions. Once, one of the spies got caught and was forced to swallow a newly developed poison by the enemy. He died a terrible death.
The little girl’s cover identity was that of a student, which concealed her true identity pretty well.
She’s a damn good doctor, a rare talent who could save many more agents in the Ministry of State Security if she could be recruited.
“Pay’s not an issue, but you’ve got to keep it hush–hush, even from your own family. You can’t spill the beans about your job.”
Getting an invitation from the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of State Security of Solterra himself isn’t just luck!
This little girl must’ve saved the galaxy in her past life or something!
Just when the subordinates thought she’d be falling over herself with gratitude and agreeing right away, Arabella spoke, “Sorry, I don’t have the time.”
The subordinates were flabbergasted. The little girl actually turned it down? She said she didn’t have time?
What on earth could a little girl be so busy with?
“May I ask if you have other plans?” The man continued to ask, his tone quite respectful.
Arabella replied nonchalantly, “I gotta go to school so I’m too busy.”
Mainly because she had a lot of work to do and a man to take care of.
The subordinates‘ eyes nearly popped out of their heads. Was she pulling their leg? The Deputy Minister of the–Ministry of State Security offered her an olive branch, and she wanted to go to school?
*Joining the Ministry of State Security won’t affect your schooling! You’ll have to find a job after graduation; what job could possibly be better than the Ministry of State Security? This is a great honor to serve the country; you need to think it through!”
The subordinates tried to persuade her.
Arabella nodded and said, “Mm, I’ve thought it through. Sorry, but I can’t join you guys.”
The subordinates exchanged glances, completely at a loss for words.
Such a talented individual was not serving the country, what a shame.
The leading man asked again, “So, what do you plan to do after graduation?”
Arabella didn’t hold back: “I plan to work in the medical field, but I want to help more than just a few people.”
To her, every research project and every direction she pursued was for the benefit of more people!
The man didn’t expect such grand ambitions from a little girl. He admired her even more. “What would it take for you to join the Ministry of State Security?”
He was still trying to keep her. This was the first time in his entire life!
Arabella raised an eyebrow and said, “Wait till you guys get better doctors than me or more advanced medical equipment. Then I might consider it.”
The subordinates were amazed. Was she being top cocky?
“Our medical equipment is top–notch, it’s not something you can buy off the shelves! Our doctors are pretty good too!”
“Then why couldn’t you guys save the patient tonight?” Arabella asked back, looking innocent and well–behaved.
The subordinates were speechless.
Indeed, the Ministry of State Security’s doctors were at their wits‘ end, which forced them to seek help from civilian doctors for agent 7731.
Had she not stepped in tonight, 7731 might have lost his life.
So, they were also hoping to recruit more talents like her to serve the country.
But Arabella was no ordinary person. She wouldn’t limit herself to a small environment, only helping a few people.
“Can I get your contact information?” The handsome man asked, “In case you change your mind, you can reach out to me anytime.”
Arabella never regretted her decisions. But seeing his sincerity and considering he was from the Ministry of State Security, out of courtesy, she added him as a contact on WhatsApp.
Chapter 620
After Arabella left, one of his men comforted her, saying. “Minister, don’t be upset. You have a sister who’s studying at Westerly College, right? Four years of college life is enough for her to grow up. She can also contribute to the country”
Chasel Collins looked in the direction his sister had gone. He just found his long–lost sister, who was reportedly 18 years old.
“She’s been through a lot since she was young.” Chasel had heard about his sister and spoke calmly, “Working for the Ministry of State Security isn’t for her.”
His newfound sister should be pampered so how could he let her do such grueling work?
His men wondered, was he unwilling to let her do such work? Had he started spoiling his sister even before meeting her? It seemed like he might pamper his sister a lot in the future.
“Let’s go check on 7731.,” Chasel left Caden’s office with a few of his men.
If it wasn’t for the special mission abroad recently, he would have gone home to see his sister already.
“When do you plan to see your sister?”
“The day after tomorrow.”
They heard they’d have a day off tomorrow, and they wondered what kind of person his sister was.
She should be as obedient, kind, and gentle as girls her age, right?
Once Arabella got back in the car, she was pulled into Romeo’s arms. He found it hilarious that the Ministry of State Security extended an olive branch to her. Could they afford Dr. Bell?
With Arabella’s ambition, she wouldn’t be content with a small place because she needed a broader world.
The next morning.
Gary noticed several love bites on Arabella’s neck when he served breakfast, which got him excited!
It seemed like they had a passionate night!
They thought Mr. McMillan wasn’t capable but it seemed like he and Derek were wrong!
Arabella would still have a happy life!
“Seen enough?” Romeo lifted his eyes and gave Gary a warning look; “Do you need me to move so you can get a better look?”
“Mr. McMillan, Arabella, enjoy your meal.” Gary got scared out of his wits and hurriedly left.
Arabella knew what Gary had discovered so she glared at Romeo as if to say, Look what you’ve done!
Romeo held her all night, clearly not satisfied with just her neck and above. If she wasn’t on her period, they might have done something else.
“You said you’d make it up to me.” Romeo passed her a peeled egg, feeding her, “Want to watch a movie after you finish eating?”
“What movie?”
“You pick; I’m good with anything.” Romeo planned to watch a movie in the home theater, like a date.
After breakfast, Romeo saw two servants standing in the living room. He said calmly, “You guys can go back to Moon Villa today.”
Derek and Gary looked at each other. Did they do something wrong?
Gary wondered. Did he stare at the lady a bit too long when serving breakfast, making Mr. McMillan jealous?
Derek thought. Did he fail to get up and open the door for the sir when he came home last night?
But the sir had clearly instructed that when he and the lady were alone, they needed to keep their distance as much as possible.
“Sir, did we perform poorly in some aspect?” Derek asked with his head bowed.
“A maid would be more convenient.”
Derek and Gary understood. The lady might need a female to take care of some things, which might be inconvenient for them as men.
“Alright, we’ll pack our bags right away.” Derek let out a sigh of relief.
Arabella picked a recent popular sci–fi blockbuster in the home theater, which surprised. Romeo. He initially thought a young girl would choose a romance movie.
But then he thought Arabella was always different.
During the movie, Romeo held her hand. Arabella didn’t react much to many of the thrilling scenes.
“Not interested? Want to switch to another one?”
“No need.”
After the movie, the room darkened, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit strange.
