GoodNovelChapter 1012 I Have My Reasons Fiona noticed the doctor was pretty good at his job, already setting up an IV for Selena, and she let out a sigh of relief.
The doctor said, "Has she been stressed out lately? Make sure she eats on time. She's got a stomach issue and needs proper rest." He gently wiped the sweat off Selena's forehead, his fingers lingering for a moment.
He added, "Her fever should break in about an hour. Have the kitchen whip up something light. She hasn't eaten in two days." Fiona felt a bit uneasy, thinking he was being too familiar, but after a closer look, she didn't see anything wrong.
She pointed to the hallway camera and said, "Doctor, since it's your first there, just so you know, we've got cameras running 24/7." The message was clear: if he tried anything funny while she was downstairs, he wouldn't be leaving Ashbourne Manor tonight.
The doctor smiled, "I won't ruin my friend's reputation." Fiona found his voice particularly pleasant, gentle, and clear, so she went downstairs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUsually, Fiona made the soup for Selena, but still feeling uneasy, she had two maids stand guard outside Selena's room. "If he tries anything, just call out, and I'll have the bodyguards cup." Everyone at Ashbourne Manor was loyal to Selena, always thinking things through thoroughly.
The maids nodded and immediately went upstairs.
The doctor sat quietly by Selena's bedside, saying nothing, just watching her.
Several times he wanted to reach out and brush her hair aside but worried it might be inappropriate and make her uncomfortable.
Selena now had someone she liked and had made up her mind. He had missed their chance; it was all his fault, so he shouldn't disturb her anymore.
But the other personality within him was too unruly and hard to control; he might accidentally do something to hurt her.
His other personality could destroy the happiness she had finally mustered the courage to pursue. He had to keep watch.
An hour later, Selena woke up. She looked at the familiar ceiling and exhaled in relief.
She heard Mario's familiar voice beside her, "Awake?" Selena's whole body stiffened, and she tried to sit up in disbelief. 'How could Mabe here?' She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but he reached out and gently covered her mouth. Christopher said, "Selena, I can't disrupt too many of his plans, to avoid provoking his retaliation. Tell me, where is the little thing?" The "little thing" referred to the small chip.
Selena, with her mouth covered, had eyes full of surprise, hatred, and a deeply hidden wariness. She wanted to pounce on him and bite him. Christopher said nothing, carefully watching her expression, then sighed, "I have my reasons." Selena's gaze remained fierce, and she bit down on his fingertip.
Christopher didn't move or shout, even as she bit off a piece of flesh, blood trailing from her mouth to her chin. He frowned, pulled a tissue from the side, and wiped her mouth. "It's dirty, wipe it off." Selena said nothing. Her throat hurt too much to speak. She didn't want to see him at all, so she pointed to the wardrobe.
Christopher stood up, opened the wardrobe, and immediately saw the small box.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe brought the small box to her side, and she silently entered the password, then took out the notebook.
The chip was stuck on one of the pages of the notebook.
After Christopher got the chip, he saw her weak body and felt a pang of heartache.
Christopher uttered, "You and Raymond..." Hearing him say this, Selena's pupils shrank sharply, watching him warily.
Christopher's blood dripped onto the notebook, and he finally chuckled, "You two should be together. I'm leaving."
Selena didn't look at him. She was very weak now, and Christopherm being able to infiltrate Ashbourne Manor showed he had sskills. If she continued to provoke him, she didn't know what he would do.
Christopher stood up, seeing her gaunt cheeks and the tightly clenched fists under the blanket, knowing she must be very upset.
Christopher smiled bitterly, "Selena, there are sthings I can't tell you. If you and Raymond truly lávéeach ve. other, you will be together. I bless you with all my heart." Selena covered her ears, clearly refusing to listen any further.
Christopher wanted to pat her head, as he used to encourage her. But he knew she didn't need it anymore. He sighed and then left.
