Grandma Shirley tried several times but still couldn't get it on, becoming increasingly anxious.
Romeo, standing aside, saw this and stepped forward to help, "Granny, letgive you a hand." He helped Grandma Shirley hold one end of the necklace.
Holding the other end, Grandma Shirley tried a few more times with trembling hands, barely managing to thread it through the small hole, finally getting the necklace on.
"Good kid, you must be tired, huh?" Grandma Shirley said with a hint of apology in her voice. She had just recovered, but her movements were still not very agile, and she felt terrible for making Arabella go through this.

"The McMillian family is so lucky to have a girl like you." Grandma Shirley looked at her contentedly, finding that both her looks and temperament were a great match for her grandson.
They were a perfect match.
The more she looked, the more satisfied she was. She was overjoyed, not to mention all the talents Arabella had.
Romeo really did bring a gem home! At this moment, Brodie brought over a bowl of soup, "Shirley, your soup got cold. | got you a new bowl." "I'l feed her." Arabella volunteered.
"No, no, let your grandpa do it." Grandma Shirley said hastily.
How could she let Arabella go through such trouble? But Arabella didn't find it troublesat all. She scooped up a spoonful of soup, and gently brought it to Grandma Shirley's lips.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Grandma Shirley took a sip and said with a smile, "The soup you feedtastes so sweet, Bella." Romeo's eyes were full of tenderness as he watched the two of them get along so well. He asked softly, "Granny, how have you been feeling these past couple of days? Any discomfort?" The doctor was around and could help if needed.
"No. Bella's medicine works great." Grandma Shirley said with a smile. "It's just my head, probably because I've been asleep too long. I'm a bit foggy, slow to react, and lack strength. | even have difficulty getting out of bed and walking, needing someone to push my wheelchair." "That's normal," Arabella assured her with a smile while feeding her soup. "You'll get better in no time." "Your words put my mind at ease.” Grandma Shirley chirped, sipping the soup Arabella fed her. She couldn't help but ask, "Bella, who did you learn your medical skills from?" They were so exceptional.
Arabella gave a straightforward account of her experiences. Hearing this, Grandma Shirley couldn't suppress her anger.

"It's all in the past," Arabella said with a small smile. "Would you like another bowl of soup?" The soup was all gone.
"No, no need." Grandma Shirley had just recovered and couldn't have too much. After Arabella put down the bowl, she took Arabella's hand and said with a heavy heart, "Poor child, you've suffered.” She had been taken to the Murphy family, separated from her family, and had been through a lot of bullying.
"From now on, the McMillian family will treat you even better." Grandma Shirley patted her hand with many more things she wanted to say.
However, Phillip couldn't help but butt in, "Dear, have you forgotten aboutnow that Bella's here." He had been ignored for quite stime.
"If you knew Bella's other identity, you'd love her even more!" Phillip said mysteriously, deliberately keeping her in suspense, trying to attract Grandma Shirley's attention.
But Grandma Shirley didn't pay him any mind and continued talking with Arabella.
