The Princess and the Paupers

Chapter 45
“Can you come pick me up? We can go visit your Grandma together.”
Arabella thought for a moment, “Alright.”
Arabella felt that it was about time to pay her Grandma a visit, maybe she could lend a hand.
Phillip’s mood brightened when he heard Arabella had agreed. They talked for a long time. Then as they were leaving, Arabella
pulled a delicate little bottle out of her pocket. “Grandpa, this is for you.”
Phillip hadn’t expected a gift, he accepted it with joy and asked expectantly, “What is it?”
“It’s a sweet pill, take one a month, for six months straight. It can guarantee your health, live to 100 years old.”
“Ha ha, really? That must be expensive, huh? Bella, where did you find such a treasure?” Phillip hadn’t expected his
granddaughter–in–law to be so thoughtful. He had everything he needed, except his health...”
What he wanted most now was longevity.
Unexpectedly, Bella was so thoughtful, knowing what mattered to him the most!
“Can I eat one now?” Phillip couldn’t wait, he popped open the bottle and tried to pour out one pill. He got too excited and poured
out a few. Carl glanced at the design on the pills, nearly dropping his glasses in shock. Weren’t these the highly sought after
“Time–defying Potion” from the auction?
It was said to be a health tonic, prolonging life. Only one was auctioned every three to five months...
Each one cost half a million...
The question was, how did Miss Arabella come by so many of these precious, rare things?
Looking at the quantity, she’d have to have been buying them for ten years straight!
But, Arabella didn’t need these at her age....
Why would she spend so much on something she didn’t need? And keep them on her all the time?

Unless...
She made these pills herself?!
So she could have as many as she wanted whenever she wanted!
When he realized this possibility, Carl looked at Romeo in disbelief. Romeo also seemed to know where the pills came from, his
expression deepening.
It seemed that the little lady might be the famous “Ms. Aria“, the Medicine genius.
She might have made the hot drugs at auction in the past... This also explained why she was near the church by the auction that
day.
Because she’d gone to the auction that day too.
Thinking of this, Romeo smiled. He hadn’t expected Arabella to have so many alter egos, one after another, it was a surprise.
“Phillip, You’re in luck!” Carl couldn’t help but say.
“It’s true.” Phillip tasted one, “It’s sweet, I’m really lucky! My granddaughter–in–law gave me so many, they’re really tasty! Bella,
is it a problem if I eat a lot? Can I have one every day?”
Carl: “No...”
Romeo: “Nope.”
Phillip looked at them both, puzzled, “Why not?”
Carl seemed to have something to say but stopped himself, such an expensive sweet, one a day, that was quite a luxury...
Romeo added, “Bella once said, you can only have one a month.”
“Alright then...”
