Chapter 942 The Culprit


    Chapter 942 The Culprit


    Selena opened her eyes in the sound of pattering rain, still dazed.


    Suddenly, the room lit up as someone drew back the curtains, letting in a crack of rain-washed fresh air


    and light. Before Selena could fully appreciate the inviting chill, she was wrapped up in a nket and


    held in someone''s arms.


    She blinked and turned her head, looking at the man whose hands tightly sped around her body.


    After a moment''s pause, Selena smiled and said, "I''m okay."


    Osvaldo gazed at her fixedly for a long time before lowering his head to kiss her hair and murmuring a


    low "Hmm." He seemed to have not spoken for a long time, his voice hoarse and raspy, and the faint


    blue shadow under his thin eyelids was clearly visible.


    Selena closed her eyes andfortingly rubbed his forehead.


    The rain was still falling, and the sky was getting dark.


    The cool air brushed against her face, and Selena''s muddled mind finally woke uppletely.


    "I''m fine now," she whispered. "Why don''t you take a nap?"


    Osvaldo looked at her but remained silent, his gaze fixed on her with an almost trance-like intensity.


    "I feel good now," Selena said, raising her hand to hold his face and smiling. "If you''re tired, you won''t


    look good, and I''ll feel sorry for you."


    In Selena''s heart, this man was like a valuable porcin statue, and she couldn''t help but pity and


    cherish him if he had any ws.


    Osvaldo got up, walked over to the window, closed it, and then came back to the bed, about to lift


    Selena up and hug her.


    But Selena was one step ahead, reaching out her hands from the nket, wrapping them around


    Osvaldo''s slender neck, and pushing the man forcefully into the covers where she had just woken up.


    "It''s your turn to sleep," she said firmly.


    Osvaldo looked at the girl sitting on top of him, his eyes growing darker as he stared at her without


    moving. "Will youe back to me?" he asked.


    Selena gazed at him tenderly and smiled slightly. "I will."


    Osvaldo pressed her head and pulled her into his arms, kissing her softly and intimately for quite some


    time before finally letting go.


    Selena went to the bathroom to freshen up, change clothes, and put on makeup before walking out of


    the room with grace andposure.


    ...


    Downstairs.


    Ever since Osvaldo carried Selena, who was unconscious for days, back home three days ago, the


    entire vi had fallen into an unprecedented low pressure.


    Selena has been unconscious for three days, and Osvaldo hasn''t left the house in three days either.


    Knowing the temperament of their young master, no one dared to disturb them without permission.


    Although several doctors had said that Selena would wake up on her own when she had enough sleep,


    it had been too long. If this continued, Osvaldo would copse after Selena woke up.


    When the hall was gloomy, clear footsteps suddenly came from upstairs. The group of people


    subconsciously looked up, and their eyes widened when they saw a slender figure walking down in


    high heels. Immediately, the whole vi seemed toe alive in an instant.


    Leia ran over in tears, "Madam!" The butler hurriedly arranged for someone to bring food for Selena,


    and the servantspeted to pour water and move chairs for her. Selena smiled slightly and patted


    Leia''s shoulder, "It''s alright."


    Then she sat down at the table and said to the butler, "Noah, prepare some food for the young master.


    I will bring it up to himter." The old butler looked at the rejuvenated girl with a mixture of heartache


    and helplessness. How could such a well-behaved and beautiful girl have so many malicious people


    trying to harm her every day?


    "Madam, don''t worry about anything else. Just focus on taking care of yourself first."


    "I''m fine now, thank you Noah." Selena finished speaking and took out her phone, sending a short


    message to ck Crow Patrick Hattie Lady Lauren. Finally, she picked up the ss on the table and


    looked up at Leia, "How long have I slept?"


    Leia stood in front of Selena, looking at her gentle expression and calm eyes as if she was not the one


    who had been poisoned. For some reason, her eyes were sour, "Madam, you have been asleep for


    three days."


    Selena''s eyes shed with a hint of darkness, "Did you find out who did it?"


    At this question, Leia''s expression froze. Selena''s cold gaze looked over. Leia lowered her head, and


    her voice was almost inaudible, "It''s... Miss Hattie..." Joanna traced the source and found out that it


    was Hattie who did it.


    This result shocked everyone. But... Selena probably had already guessed it. There was no surprise on


    her face, just a calm "Hmm."

    Leia exined anxiously, "Madam, Miss Hattie definitely didn''t mean to harm you. When you were


    unconscious, she came several times. If it weren''t for the young master being too frightening, she


    wouldn''t have left..."


    Afraid that Osvaldo would not be able to control himself and make a move on the little girl, she sternly


    sent her back.


    Selena smiled, ced the empty ss on the table, and lifted her head. "I know."


    Due to the habit she had developed since childhood, she rarely touched anything outside. And there


    were only a few people who could get close to her without her guard, including Osvaldo, Patrick, and


    Leia who followed her around all day. The only breakthrough was Hattie.


    Leia''s exnation was immediately stuck in her throat. After carefully observing Selena''s expression


    and confirming that Selena really didn''t me Hattie, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Seeing that there was no rift between the two sisters, Leia put her heart down, and her eyes were full of


    killing intent. "The poison was brought in with Lady Nevaeh''s relics, which was ced in your room. It


    is a very rare mixed poison that cannot be detected without detailed examination..."


    Selena listened carefully as Leia recounted everything to her in great detail after she had been knocked


    unconscious. After Leia finished speaking, Selena had just finished her dinner. She put down her


    spoon, picked up a napkin, elegantly wiped her hands, stood up, and picked up a steaming bowl of


    soup next to her, walking upstairs.


    Halfway through, Selena suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Leia, "Don''t let Hattie


    know."


    Leia watched Selena leave without moving. After a while, she turned her head to look at the butler


    beside her. "Butler, Lady was poisoned and almost died. She didn''t feel pain or fear?"


    Of all the youngdies she knew, even a minor injury like a broken nail would make them cry for half a


    day. Selena... she had only seen Selena cry once.


    Leia remembered the night they left Creephia, the wind was so cold, the night was so dark, and


    Selena''s deste eyes haunted her dreams for several days... The oppressive and ufortable


    feeling was something that the little girl didn''t want to experience a second time in her life.


    The old butler''s eyes were filled with deep love and pity, and he sighed.
