Chapter 1044

“Bella, you said you inadvertently spoiled their plans, so they're looking for payback. They can't find

you, so they nabbed us to force you out."

Joyce fretted, "Are you in some sort of danger then? What should we do?

Should we call the cops?"

Arabella wanted to tell her that things had escalated beyond the point where a simple call to the police

could fix everything. But some things were meant to be kept to oneself, so while tending to Joyce's

knee wound, Arabella reassured her, "Dont worry, this will all blow over soon."

“With Mr. McMillian around, there's nothing we can't handle. Let's just leave it to him!"

After her declaration, Joyce turned her gaze back to Arabella, "Mr. McMillian seems to care about you

a lot. He was wiping your hair the whole journey, afraid you'd catch a cold. He even wrapped you up in

a blanket and had us flown to the nearest resort. He wanted you to take a hot shower. Why don't you

go freshen up?"

"Yes, my knee isn't that serious.’ Joyce didn't want Arabella to catch a chill while tending to her wound.

But Arabella, feeling a bit guilty, started to apologize, "All this happened because of me."

"No, no, no. Don't think like that. If they captured us, that means they see us as a threat to you. That

means we're good friends! Being seen as your friends is something to be proud of. We are not

ashamed!” Joyce laughed, showing no signs of blaming Arabella.

“Exactly, friends share the good times and the bad. Yes, I was scared and felt hopeless when they

threw us into the water. But when I saw you swimming towards me, I was moved to tears."

Joyce added, "The bad guys are at fault, not you. Don't take this to heart."

Arabella gave a grateful smile, deeply moved by their understanding.

After tending to their wounds, Arabella went to take her shower.

As the hot water cascaded over her, she noticed a few cuts on her arms and legs. The pain was

negligible to her. Looking up, she let the water wash over her face.

On the surface, it seemed like Doom's influence was nearly eradicated. But how many more hidden

threats were there? How many more incidents like today's would occur?

She could save them once or twice, but could she do it a hundred times?

It was time to take quicker action.

However, some people were so well hidden that until they revealed themselves, she wouldn't know if

they were friend or foe.

When Mavis was about to take a shower, she noticed the presidential suite had a large outdoor hot

spring tub.

The sight of the misty hot water and the beautiful mountain scenery left her stunned.

This was too beautiful!

If it weren't for the wound on her knee, she would have loved to soak in the tub.

“Living like this is just too enjoyable.” Mavis was rooted to the spot, completely mesmerized.

“If you want to take a bath, you can. Just keep your injured leg out of the water"

“Right, why didn't I think of that? Joyce, come with me!"
