CHAPTER 896 REASONS FOR LIKING

Chapter 896 Reasons for Liking

Upon hearing the cold questioning, Mrs. Walson's collapsing emotions instantly solidified. She turned

her pale face towards the source of the voice and glared at it fiercely.

Patrick walked in, followed by a group of people wearing white coats, all of whom were clearly doctors

from the Imperial Hospital.

Under the watchful eyes of the Walson family, Mrs. Walson, with eyes resembling Selena's, suddenly

rushed forward and shouted, "Where is Selena? Hand her over! She should be arrested and executed

immediately for causing my daughter to end up like this!"

A thin veil of murderous intent flashed across Patrick's eyes.

Jason stepped forward and stopped Mrs. Walson, his tone icy, "Madam, your daughter is entirely to

blame for her own actions!"

Mrs. Walson was pushed back and stumbled.

"Mom!" Dominic hurried forward to support her.

Mrs. Walson angrily pinched Dominic's hand, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at Patrick. "It was

Selena who harmed my daughter! If it weren't for her, Angie wouldn't have gone insane or gotten into a

car accident!"

Patrick ignored her outburst and looked towards the operating room, asking calmly, "Can she still be

saved?"

Jason adjusted his glasses and said, "Both legs are broken, and she has lost a lot of blood. When she

was brought in, she was already in shock. Unless there are any surprises, you should start preparing

for the worst."

The hearts of the Walson family trembled in unison. Mrs. Walson screamed and rushed towards

Patrick, shaking as she shouted, "Hand over Selena! I want that slut to pay with her life for what she

did to my daughter!"

Patrick turned his body to face them and glared at the Walson family. "You've been calling Selena that

all along?"

Dominic met the man's gaze and felt a chill run down his spine, a dangerous premonition welling up in

his heart. But before he could stop her, Mrs. Walson had already lost control and roared out, "Selena is

a jinx, a lowborn! Angie was right, why didn't she die with her short-lived mother? If Selena died,

Dominic wouldn't have been driven out of the Walson family! Angie wouldn't have ended up like this..."

The murderous intent in Patrick's eyes grew stronger and he lifted his long legs, fiercely kicking Mrs.

Walson as she cursed. Caught off guard, she was thrown backwards and fell to the ground in a sorry

state.

"Mom!" Dominic's eyes turned red in an instant as he hurried forward to help Mrs. Walson up.

Mr. Walson glared at Patrick and trembled as he said, "You guys are too much! Police! I'm calling the

police!" The many doctors behind Patrick were also stunned. They looked at the pale and indifferent

man in front of them with shocked expressions.

As the head of the Turner family, he had been frail since childhood but had a strong will. Moreover,

being born into an aristocratic family, he had never laid a hand on anyone before. But today, he had

lost control and resorted to violence against a woman.

In the silence, Patrick walked step by step towards Mrs. Walson. He faced Dominic's angry gaze and

cold eyes and looked down at her from a high vantage point. "Losing a daughter doesn't seem to help

Mrs. Walson distinguish right from wrong, and now she wants to lose her only son."

Mrs. Walson seemed to be choking, her breathing suddenly stopped, and her angry expression twisted

in an instant. Her rationality returned as she finally remembered the identity of the person in front of

her. He was the head of the first family in the capital, backed by two major military districts, and

Selena's brother. Killing them would be easier than crushing a few ants.

All the blood drained from Mrs. Walson's face. Patrick stared at her terrified expression, and his eyes

gleamed with a hint of cold light. "For the past twenty years, my family's daughter has been exiled and

abused by scum like you. You deserve to die!"

Mrs. Walson trembled all over and struggled to explain, "No... that's not how it is... Dominic also helped

Selena. Otherwise, she wouldn't have liked him so much before..."

Mrs. Walson anxiously shook Dominic's arm and begged, "Dominic, say it! You and Selena grew up

together, you owe her a favor, you helped her so much, you really loved her... say something!"

Dominic squatted on the ground, facing his mother's trembling and tearful eyes, feeling endless

humiliation and embarrassment.

Wasn't Selena the one they used to beat up all the time? But now, they could only cower at her

brother's feet, hoping to escape punishment by claiming their so-called childhood friendship. Dominic

didn't want to do something so despicable in return for a favor, but when he met Mrs. Walson's

trembling and tearful gaze, he thought of Angie, who had already been sentenced to death in the

operating room...

He looked up at Patrick, a thin and cold-faced man who had no warmth in his eyes. Dominic's heart

turned cold as he opened his mouth, feeling embarrassed. "Selena and I... "

He thought for a long time, but the only scene that echoed in his memory was his heartless and

indifferent treatment of Selena. The so-called childhood sweethearts and warm memories seemed to ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

be a thing of the past.

Suddenly, Dominic was startled and realized that he had never been kind to Selena ever since Leah

appeared. How could that girl have the strength to love him for fifteen years, enduring his cruel and

cold treatment?

Dominic's heart ached, and his eyes turned red with pain as he lowered his head. "No, I never-"

"Dominic!" Mrs. Walson suddenly screamed, grabbing Dominic's hand and squeezing his wrist until it

bled. "Who said you didn't? You did! Don't you remember why Selena fell in love with you? Because

you comforted her and protected her when her mother died..."

Dominic's heart trembled suddenly, and a distant memory rushed into his mind. When Selena's mother

died, he went with Mrs. Walson to the Riddle family to pay his respects and saw five-year-old Selena

for the first time.

Dominic remembered that morning, standing alone in front of the little girl's mother's coffin. In the

golden sunlight, she was beautiful and cute like an angel, but a weeping angel.

He was ten years old at the time and had learned a lot. His grandfather told him before he left to set a

marriage contract with Selena, the Riddle family's little girl, for his future benefit. When he arrived at the

Riddle family, he saw Selena and found her cute but pitiful. He approached her with impure intentions

to comfort her.

The five-year-old girl had a pure mind, but she had suddenly lost her mother and had a stranger enter

her home. She had no one to care for her and was alone.

At this time, any kindness from anyone could be engraved in her heart.

He comforted her, wiped her tears, and told her that he would become her husband in the future and

protect her for life. When they parted, little Selena asked him if he would really protect her for life, and

he said yes.

Later, he...
