The Princess and the Paupers

Chapter 9

Susana’s chuckle didn’t go unnoticed by Arabella. With a casual raise of her brows, she said, “Miss Susana, isn’t it time to honor your promise?”

Susana was so busy being envious that she completely forgot about the agreement she had with Arabella! Romeo was right here, and there was no way Susana would make a fool of herself. Not a chance!

She decided to play dumb instead, spreading her hands wide, “What promise? Did I say something?”

“Dr. Susana, how could you.” A nurse couldn’t help but chime in, “You said it yourself, if this young lady saved Phillip, you’d kneel to her, even giving up your position as Deputy Director.”

“Really? Did I say that?” Susana adamantly denied, “Got any proof?”

Another doctor couldn’t help but speak up, “You did say that, everyone here heard you. If you don’t want to kneel, at least apologize.”

After all, the way she had spoken to the young lady before was really out of line.

“Why should I apologize?” Susana gave an innocent look, acting like she couldn’t care less.

Hopeless case.

Just as everyone was at their wits’ end, Arabella suddenly gave a kick, sending Susana to her knees with a thump. Nobody saw how she did it, only heard the sound of a knee hitting the floor. It must have hurt.

“You, you!” Susana was in so much pain her lips were trembling and she couldn’t even stand.

“As a doctor, it’s your duty to save lives.” Arabella’s eyes were cold, her voice chilling. “Your scalpel is meant to save lives, not to be used recklessly!”
