CHAPTER 840 SELENA REALLY WANTED HIM TO STAY?
Chapter 840 Selena really wanted him to stay?
She immediately looked up at Patrick.
Patrick glanced at the man and simply said in a flat voice, "Go in and bring Miss home."
Earlier, when Selena fell into the water, he arrived a step too late and she had already been picked up
by this man and taken into the room.
His previous permissiveness was purely out of helplessness, and he could no longer continue to
condone it at this point.
Selena trusted him too much and had no guard against him. She was also injured, so it was difficult to
guarantee that this man would not take advantage of the situation.
Osvaldo's eerie eyes showed no emotion as he announced his sovereignty flatly, "She's mine!"
Patrick's tone was indifferent, with no fluctuation, "Wait until you take off David's head and make up for
your sins with her parents before you say that. Until then--"
The man's eyes suddenly deepened, exuding endless coldness and sarcasm, "You're not qualified to
have her!"
Osvaldo's eyes were cold as he stared at Patrick, with a hint of killing intent.
The maid and the doctor beside them were both frightened and holding their breaths.
Patrick's eyes were cold as he glanced casually at the door behind him, his threat quite clear.
Selena was outside the door, and if there was a conflict now, it would certainly disturb her.
Once Selena found out the truth--
Osvaldo suddenly lowered his eyes, hiding the raging anger in his heart.
The only person who could force him to retreat was Selena.
He remembered the moment he pulled the girl out of the water, and how she lay in his arms, her face
stiff and lifeless. Her emotions, which had always been silent, suddenly burst into flames of anger.
Mixing heartache and destruction, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not frighten her if he
continued to stay.
Osvaldo raised his eyelids and his ghostly eyes fell on Patrick's face, silent.
"I'll leave her with you for now, but don't let her lose a single hair!" Osvaldo finally said.
Patrick's heart sank slightly, and a faint sneer appeared on his face, "Selena is the Turner family's
daughter. I will take good care of her, and Mr. Anderson doesn't need to worry."
Osvaldo sneered, "It's as if in the past 19 years, the Turner family has taken care of her just like you
have."
Patrick's face immediately turned pale. To kill a person, you must first kill their heart.
After Osvaldo left, Patrick lowered his eyelashes and collected his excess emotions before looking up
at the maid and nurse beside him. The two had witnessed the scene of the two people in power
attacking each other and were so scared that their hair stood on end. Upon receiving Patrick's gaze,
they immediately pushed open the door and went in.
However, within a minute, the two came out again. The maid said to Patrick, "Young Master, Miss
doesn't allow us to touch her. She only allows us to invite you in."
Patrick regained his composure, twisted the door handle, and stepped inside. Selena sat on the bed,
still wearing a bathrobe, with her long black hair spread over her thin shoulders. Her palms were
wrapped in bandages, but apart from her slightly pale complexion, there was no sign of illness.
She first looked at Patrick, and then looked behind him with an expectant gaze, but the person she
wanted to see did not walk in for a long time. Selena looked at Patrick with a questioning gaze.
After a moment, Patrick calmly said, "He left." Selena was taken aback and subconsciously asked,
"Where did he go?" As she spoke, she unconsciously twisted the sheets with her slender fingers. Her
tone carried a hint of hidden grievances.
Before she fell asleep just now, the man had been with her, and she thought... he would stay with her.
Although there was no evidence, it was hard to guarantee that David had nothing to do with this after
what had happened in the morning.
Selena confirmed that Osvaldo would not come back tonight, and lowered her eyelashes. Her tone was
bleak as she said, "Oh, I see." Patrick heard a hint of hoarseness in her voice and turned to pour a cup
of hot water for her.
Selena took the cup of water with her uninjured left hand and drank two sips before saying, "Thank
you." Patrick noticed her listless appearance and suddenly asked, "Does Selena really want him to
stay?"
Selena was startled for a moment, then seemed to remember something and smiled faintly. "Maybe it's
just a habit. When I was injured before, he was always there, and...
he saved me many times. If I hadn't met Osvaldo after being reborn, I wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
That man had taken care of her so well that she sometimes felt as if she had not been reborn, and she
was still Miss Riddle, who was spoiled and grew up recklessly."
But the comrades who died on the battlefield, their bodies flowing like a river of blood, reminded her
that this was just her illusion.
In an instant, Selena's reluctance, confusion, and vulnerability disappeared completely.
She became the resolute and icy girl who seemed invincible in battle once again.
She placed her glass on the table, smiled at Patrick, and spoke in an extremely cold tone, "Have you
found out who did it?"
Patrick clearly sensed the change in Selena's emotions in that brief moment and replied, "Not yet."
Selena's expression remained unchanged.
Whoever was able to get close to her in that situation without her noticing must have the ability to avoid
the surveillance around them.
And judging from the situation, the people in the hall couldn't possibly ask anything.
All they could do now was to see if there was anything useful in the surveillance footage outside the
hotel.
But it didn't matter. The other side wanted her dead, and sooner or later they would reveal their true
colors.
She would settle the score with them, with interest.
She lowered her head and looked at her right hand wrapped in bandages, without any hint of
nervousness or frustration.
She simply moved her wrist slightly to make sure that she had not injured any bones or tendons, then
relaxed. She lifted her head and said to Patrick, "Let's go back."
There was no need to stay any longer. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Patrick's eyes were deep and he looked at Selena as he said, "Do you know who the child you saved
today is?"
Selena blinked her eyes. If it were an ordinary child, Patrick would not have deliberately mentioned it
according to his upbringing.
The fact that he spoke in such a cold tone could only mean that the child might bring some changes to
her life, or trouble.
Selena propped her chin with her uninjured left hand and smiled, "Could it be that I saved the child of
an enemy?"
Although she said it like that, there was not much regret or remorse in Selena's tone. For one thing, the
child was innocent and had no ability to harm anyone at two or three years old. For another, although
she didn't leave the child in the water, strictly speaking, the child was still involved because of her.
