Chapter 1271


    After talking to Matthew on the phone, Ludwik was ready to leave the Yeager family home.


    Before he left, Lucinda went on a long-winded tirade at Ludwik. The general idea was that Matthew must give Rainee an exnation.


    Ludwik promised Lucinda, "I will talk to Matthew tonight. I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow!"


    Lucinda only stopped talking at Ludwik''s promise.


    If someone else had impregnated her daughter, Lucinda would definitely not be waiting so quietly. However, Matthew was the one involved. She also knew that if Matthew and Rainee were to end up together, Rainee would be elevated to a higher social status.


    Therefore, Lucinda was particrly patient when it came to Matthew.


    Before Ludwik left, Rainee softly said to him, "Mr. Perry, Matthew wasn''tpletely sober when it happened. He might not even remember anything. Don''t me him."


    Ludwik saw how well-behaved and polite Rainee was, so he was now all the more moved by the way she spoke for Matthew.


    "Good child, don''t worry about it," Ludwik said.


    Selina went to the police station to meet with Brennan.


    She knew that Matthew had a lot of things on his mind now. He certainly had no time to help her investigate Brennan''s affairs. He might even have forgotten about this matter. Therefore, she was here by herself.


    Brennan was still locked up,


    When he saw Selina, he lowered his head and said nothing, just like thest time.


    No matter what kind of questions Selina asked him, he would not speak.


    Finally, Selina lost her patience.


    She was already in a bad mood and Brennan''s behavior made her even more furious. "You don''t want to say it, right? If you don''t want to say it, then just rot in jail for the rest of your life!"


    Brennan''s head fell even more.


    Selina rushed away in anger.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    She went to the hospital that Yesseca was at.


    Lothar was much better now, and most of his wounds were almostpletely healed.


    "Lothar, do you really not know the man who beat you up?" Selina asked.


    Lothar shook his head. "I swear to God, I really don''t know him. He just barged in and beat me up. That was my first time seeing him!"


    Selina pondered for a moment. "Lothar, this matter might have something to do with me."


    Lothar''s eyes shed with astonishment. "How could it be rted to you?"


    Selina then told Lothar everything.


    Everything pieced itself together for Lothar before he stammered, "So, he thinks that I''m your boyfriend, and then he misunderstood my rtionship with Yesseca, so he decided to beat me up?"


    Selina nodded.


    Lothar carried his head in his hands. "How can that be? You must be very familiar with him then! The fact that he beat me up for you means that he''s probably been secretly in love with you for a long time!"


    Confusion shed in Selina''s eyes.


    "The problem is that I don''t know him at all!"


    Lothar was stunned.


    "Then what''s going on?"


    Selina was a little annoyed. "I don''t know and that person is so stubborn. He doesn''t say anything no matter what I ask him!"


    "Don''t worry. Thing will be clear with an investigation."


    "Yeah." Selina added, "Although I don''t recognize him, he seems familiar somehow. Still, I can''t seem to recall who he is."


    "Then you must know him," Lothar said.


    Selina shook her head. "I don''t think so."


    After a pause, she changed the subject. "By the way, how''s Yesseca?"


    "She''s fine. She just fell asleep."


    Selina nodded and said, "I''ve dispatched someone to find a kidney that ispatible with Yesseca. As soon as there is a suitable one, she''ll immediately go into surgery to do the kidney transnt."


    Lothar''s eyes were filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Selina."


    "No need for that, we''re friends."


    The word "friend" made Lothar''s heart sting as if it had been pricked by a needle.


    He and Selina were indeed friends now.


    However, this friendship was not formed honorably.


    Lothar''s eyes showed his internal struggle.


    Should he tell Selina the truth?


    He had thought about this question many times, but he could never make up his mind.


    "Selina," Lothar called out after gathering his courage.


    "Yes?"


    "I have something I need to tell you."


    "Go ahead."


    "The first time I met you..." Lothar stopped himself here, feeling as if something was stuck in his throat.


    "What''s wrong?" Selina asked as she looked at him in confusion.


    With great difficulty, Lothar swallowed the imaginary barrier in his throat. "I was..."


    Suddenly, the ringing of a phone sounded, cutting Lothar off.


    Selina took out her mobile phone to see that it was Matthew calling.


    Her eyshes trembled slightly.


    "Hello," Selina answered the call.


    "Selina, I''ll go pick you up. Where are you?"


    "I''m at the hospital, the hospital Lothar is in." "Give me ten minutes, I''ll be right there."


    "Okay."


    After ending the call, Selina kept her phone in her bag.


    She said to Lothar, "I have to go now, I''lle to visit again soon."


    "Oh." Lothar was not sure if the interruption was good or bad for him.


    Selina only had to wait at the hospital''s entrance for a short while before Matthew''s car arrived.


    Selina got into the car.


    "Selina, I had people investigate that


    man. His name is Brennan Xanthe, he''s the son of a former high-


    el


    ranking official in Agaphen City," Matthew said to Selina.


    Selina''s breathing hitched.


    She thought that Matthew had already forgotten this matter, she never expected him to remember it still.


    "Do you have any other information?"


    "None for the time being, but soon there will be."


    She nodded.


    "There is one more thing I need to tell you, my father is back."


    Selina was dumbfounded.


    "Your father is back?" "Yess." Matthew cast a look on Selina. "I''m bringing you to meet himter."


    At this, Selina was bewildered.


    She still remembered that the first time she met Ludwik Perry, she had met him as Dn''s girlfriend.


    However, although things remained the same, the people involved had changed.


    "I think that it''ll be quite awkward," Selina said dryly after a moment.


    "It''s okay. As the saying goes, even if the sky falls, I''ll carry it."


    Selina still felt a little sheepish.


    She changed the subject. "Why don''t you need to stay with Saoirse at the hospital anymore?"


    Matthew''s voice went down a pitch


    "Saoirse has returned to the vi to recuperate. I will properly talk to h her in a few days."


    Selina bit down on her lip.


    "Selina. Let''s not talk about unhappy things."


    Selina bit down even harder on her lip.


    A momentter, she released it. "Okay."


    Soon, they arrived at the Perry family''s vi.


    Matthew and Selina got out of the car.


    Matthew went to hold Selina''s hand, only for her to pull it away.


    She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.


    Selina coughed once before saying, "Let''s just go in like this."


    Matthew did not make things difficult for Selina.


    The two of them walked into the vi and they saw Ludwik drinking some tea on the couch.


    When Ludwik saw Selina, astonishment shed in his eyes.


    quickly


    HP. "Matthew, why


    did you bring Dn''s girlfriend with


    you? ts Dning tonight 1.


    well? It''s going to be lively then."


    The awkward feeling Selina was experiencing reached its peak. She stood there with no idea on what to say.
