Chapter 804
After all, Cornelia had dearly loved Serena for eighteen solid years, while Arabe was a
granddaughter she had just recently met.
Hence, Cornelia had showered Serena with more love.
When she heard that Serena was not her biological granddaughter and that her excellent fiance was
now out of the picture, she empathized with the girl''s plight and feelings, patting Serena''s hand in
constion.
"Perhaps it''s destiny, she said softly, "I just want to ask you one thing, Serena. Were you and your
boyfriend truly in love?"
Serena could only muster up the courage to give a slight nod.
"Then bring him to see me another day.’ Cornelia looked at her lovingly. "You grew up being protected,
and you can''t be wronged by others. I wants to see his character and see if he will treat you well in the
future. I do hope you will be happy all your life."
A surge of emotion washed over Serena. "Thank you, Grandma."
Indeed, only her grandparents seemed to truly adore her, unlike her parents and brothers who were
always revolving around Arabe.
Cornelia took Arabe’s hand again. "You are going to marry into the McMillian family in the future, so
your wedding will be more luxurious than Serena''s."
At this, Serena was taken aback.
Cornelia thought to herself that the Collins and McMillian family''s wedding would undoubtedly be
watched by countless eyes. If her biological granddaughter''s wedding was on the same scale as that of
her adopted granddaughter, it would undoubtedly lead to gossip, suggesting that the Collins family did
not value their own blood.
Even if the McMillian family had no objections, their rtives would surely think that Serena''s husband
was not as well-off as the McMillians. Moreover. Having Serena''s wedding on the same scale as
Arabe''s would indirectly disrespect the McMillian family.
Furthermore, considering they had deprived Arabe of so much over the past eighteen years, they
thought having Serena''s wedding on the same scale would be unfair to Arabe.
Upon hearing this, Serena felt her earlier feelings of gratitude vanish, which was reced by a glimmer
of disappointment in her eyes, but she dared not reveal that.
Ever since Arabe returned to this family, everything that belonged to Serena was snatched away,
leaving her with nothing.
Even the love her grandmother had for her had dwindled.
Arabe, however, calmly said, "The scale of the wedding doesn''t matter, as long as he truly loves me."
"You are indeed special,’ Cornelia said, looking at her appreciatively, "I just wonder when your
grandfather will wake up, and if he''ll be able to see you two get married."
"He should be awake in a day or two,’ Arabe responded.
"Really?" Cornelia asked, surprised, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, Arabe said, confident in her medical skills. If it weren''t for the pill that had rolled under David''s
shoe previously, her grandparents would have recovered within a month.
Later, finding the medicine took quite a bit of time.
"Mom, Be''s a miracle doctor; Louisa assured her, grinning, "If she says it''ll work, then it definitely
will."
"Is your grandfather''s condition severe? Will he be able to walk after he wakes up?" Cornelia asked
seriously.
"Neither of you will be able to walk for the time being; Arabe admitted, "But you can both use
wheelchairs to get some fresh air outside."
Upon hearing that they would not be able to walk, Cornelia was a bit disappointed, but she quickly
asked, "When can we be discharged?"
"In about one or two days after you wake up,’ Arabe answered. "I''ll bring the rest of the medicine
home, but it''s a bit bitter. You''ll have to take it."

"That''s alright; Cornelia replied, her eyes crinkling in a smile. She seemed to be more pleased with her
biological granddaughter than before.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
