The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2088

The door to the hospital room swung open as Martin stormed in, his smile freezing on his face as he caught sight of the scene

before him. With a rush of urgency, he shoved Fitch aside and raced to Serena's side.

"Serena, are you alright, Serena?"

Serena felt the grip on her throat release as Martin's voice reached her, sounding as though it cfrom miles away. Her vision

went pitch black, incapable of discerning any shapes, and her body felt utterly limp.

But she could sense Martin shaking her, and she coughed reflexively, her focus snapping back as she saw the worry etched deeply

into his features. After a violent bout of coughing, she gasped for air, as if being yanked back from the brink of death.

"Water," Her voice was raspy and weak, "l need water."

In a fluster, Martin grabbed a glass of water and held it to her lips.

Serena could barely lift her own arm, let alone hold the glass, so Martin gently helped her drink. After a moment, she seemed to

recover slightly, clinging to Martin and sobbing into his chest.

Martin cast a resentful glance at Fitch while comforting the woman in his arms.

"Martin!" Fitch couldn't believe his eyes and was itching to knock ssense into him, "She's the one who caused your sister's car

accident, and you're still defending her?"

Martin's patience had hit rock bottom. He stood up, marched over to Fitch, and swung a fierce punch.

"Are you freaking serious?" Fitch was livid, having not anticipated that his old buddy would throw a punch over sdame. If he

hadn't dodged in the nick of time, that blow could have sent his guts spilling out.

"You nearly strangled her to death!" Martin roared with a rage that made his whole body shake.

"Fine, you want to catfor her? Bring it on, my face is right here, hit me!" Fitch taunted, seeing Martin hesitate, and then

he threw a punch straight at Martin's face.

"Today I'm gonna knock ssense into you!" Fitch, seeming to have lost his mind, was now entangled in a brawl with Martin.

Martin couldn't believe Fitch had the audacity to act so brazen after doing something so vile, and every punch he threw was filled

with fury.

Seeing the chaos, Serena frantically pressed the call button for help.

The Cooper family's servants and bodyguards, who were in the next room attending to Ansel and Florence, rushed over after

hearing the commotion. Upon discovering Martin and Fitch in a fight, they hurried to pull them apart.

"Martin!" Fitch was seething, glaring at his brother who had lost all reason, "She's put your entire family in the hospital, and you're

still protecting her? I've never had a friend like you in my life!!"

"You considera friend? Serena is the woman | love, and you've insulted her over and over, almost killing her this time! Have

you ever cared about how | feel."

"This is a hospital, please keep it down and stop disturbing the patients," a nearby doctor interjected, trying to mediate the

situation.

"I'll throw the evidence in your face and you'll regret it!" Fitch was beyond furious, "Just remember what you did today!"

He stormed off in a huff, with Martin equally enraged.

The servants and bodyguards knew better than to interfere further and quietly returned to their posts.

A nurse asked Martin if he needed his wounds dressed, but he didn't respond, his expression grim and troubled.
