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 ssort 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 sthings 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.

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 tto take quicker action.
However, speople were so well hidden that until they revealed themselves, she wouldn't know if they were friend or foe.

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

“If you want to take a bath, you can. Just keep your injured leg out of the water" “Right, why didn't | think of that? Joyce, cwith me!" v
