The Princess and the Paupers Novel Full Episode

Chapter 1593

Alger and Celeste couldn't help but reminisce about the past when they ran into Arabella, who had

once been their daughter Crystal's lifesaver. They remembered how Arabella had fought tirelessly for

hours on end in the operating room to save her.

"Bella." Celeste greeted her warmly with a nod, before turning to Carol, "Carol, are you here to buy

flowers too?"

Arabella was surprised to hear Celeste call Carol by her first name, speaking with the kind of tender

concern usually reserved for someone much younger.

Back in the day, Alger and Celeste believed that Carol was responsible for their daughter's death. They

harbored immense hostility towards her, treating her no better than an enemy. To think that now, their

relationship had thawed to such an extent was baffling.

Although confused, Arabella didn't want to reignite any past animosity, so she quickly added, "The

holidays are just around the corner, and New Year is only few days away. Carol asked me out to pick

some flowers for visiting Crystal's grave, and to choose some New Year's gifts for you both."

Upon hearing this, Alger and Celeste looked at Carol with surprise. Celeste even went so far as to say,

"That's very thoughtful of you, but there's no need for flowers or gifts. Why don't you come over for

dinner sometime instead?"

Arabella was even more startled. Celeste was inviting Carol over for dinner? And during such an

important holiday as New Year. What exactly had happened during Arabella's absence abroad?

"I'll come with Clark, and we’ll let you know in advance which day, Aunt Celeste, Uncle Alger."

Carol’s way of addressing them baffled Arabella even further. Was there really a blood relation there, or

had they come to regard each other as family?

"Alright then, we'll head off to visit Crystal now. Take your time here," Celeste's demeanor was a far cry

from the aggressive stance she once held. She nodded gently and, along with her husband, walked

away.

Once they were gone, Carol picked out a bouquet of white roses and, linking arms with Arabella, left

the flower shop. As they walked, Carol began to explain, "Surprised I call them aunt and uncle? I didn't

find out until after I was reunited with my biological family. It turns out my late mom was her younger

sister. By family hierarchy, I should indeed call her 'aunt.'"

Arabella was stunned, yet somehow it felt as if the universe had its own plans. Heaven had taken

Crystal but hadn't left her parents alone and desolate. Instead, Carol was brought into their lives.

"Do you remember that story my brother once told you, about when we got lost as kids?" Carol

recounted, "I only found out later that the day we were separated was Crystal's birthday. My aunt had

invited our family to the amusement park to celebrate. It was crowded that day, and shortly after we

arrived, my mom received a call that my aunt and uncle had been in a car accident."

Carol detailed what happened, "My mom was frantic. She told my dad to watch us and ran to help. The

accident was near the amusement park, and the woman who hit my aunt and uncle was in a panic,

apologizing profusely and insisting on taking them to the hospital. They were injured, so my mom

decided to go with them. Tragically, on the way, a truck swerved into their lane and accelerated. The

woman driving was either too scared to react properly or something else happened, but she died

instantly. My mom, who was sitting directly behind the driver, realized what was happening and

shielded my aunt, protecting Crystal in her arms. After that, my mom was on death's door and ended

up with a lifelong disability, unable to walk. My brother and I were separated that day - I ended up in an

orphanage, while he was taken by traffickers and sold to a family in a remote village. You know the

rest."

Arabella sighed by the tale, which she had never fully known before.

"My mom spent years searching for us but never succeeded. In the end, she died of illness." Carol's

eyes dimmed as she spoke, "All these years, my aunt felt she owed my mom her life. If it hadn't been

for her invitation, if my mom hadn't been rushing them to the hospital, if she hadn't been there to hold

my aunt and protect Crystal during the crash. They say the steel rod from the truck pierced my mom's

back and legs."
