NovelOnlineChapter 804 After all, Cornelia had dearly loved Serena for eighteen solid years, while Arabella 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 consolation.

"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. | wants to see his character and see if he will treat you well in the future. | 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 Arabella.
Cornelia took Arabella’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 relatives 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 Arabella's would indirectly disrespect the McMillian family.
Furthermore, considering they had deprived Arabella of so much over the past eighteen years, they thought having Serena's wedding on the same scale would be unfair to Arabella.
Upon hearing this, Serena felt her earlier feelings of gratitude vanish, which was replaced by a glimmer of disappointment in her eyes, but she dared not reveal that.

"He should be awake in a day or two,” Arabella responded.
"Really?" Cornelia asked, surprised, "Are you sure?" "Yes, Arabella 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, Bella'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; Arabella 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,’ Arabella 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.
