Chapter 1427


    Perhaps it was because Selina was distracted when she took the ss, thus it slipped and fell. The juice spilled and sttered all over. The ss was shattered as well.


    Selina''s reaction was stronger than usual.


    She stared at the spilt juice on the floor with a nk look in her wide eyes. She looked like a puppet without a soul, void from any form of movement.


    Natalie quickly ordered the servants to clean up the mess on the floor.


    She poured another ss of warm water.


    "Would you like some water?" Natalie asked softly.


    Selina lifted her head.


    Her face was nk.


    Natalie guided the ss of water to Selina''s lips with her own two hands.


    Selina swallowed.


    After drinking some water, she seemed to havee back to her senses and her eyshes began to move slightly.


    Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.


    She spoke in a much gentler voice, "Matthew told me what happened just now. Although he didn''t tell me the details, I could sort of guess what happened. Don''t think too much about it. It''s her fault and she''s the only one to me that she ended up this way. Try to rx, think more positively,"


    Selina nodded.


    She was still a little dazed.


    Natalie was about to say something when Selina spoke first, "Natalie, is there anything to eat? I want to eat something,"


    "Yes, of course, there is." Natalie stood up.


    "Something like snacks," Selina added.


    Natalie quickly fetched some potato chips.


    Selina''s appetite was like some of her aunts'' who liked snacks, which was why there were chips avable in the Whitlock family''s home.


    Natalie tore open the bag of potato chips and handed it over.


    Chomp. Crunch.


    A series of crunching sounds emerged from Selina''s mouth as she ate.


    Selina seemed to have regained herself bit by bit with every crunching sound she made while she chew on the chips.


    After finishing the bag of potato chips, Selina''s face finally regained some color.


    "Do you still want more? Do you want me to give you another bag?" Natalie asked.


    Selina shook her head. "No."


    After a pause, Selina spoke. Her tone was a little strange. "Natalie, have you ever heard of the Witch n?"


    Natalie was confused.


    She had no idea what or who the Witch n was. What was that?


    Natalie looked at Selina with a surprised and confused look on her face.


    At this moment, the servant who was cleaning up the ss fragments lifted her head and said, "Miss Whitlock, are you talking about the Witch n''s magic? I have heard of it,"


    Selina''s breath was caught in her chest.


    She stared at the servant. "Tell me everything you know!"


    Her voice was so loud that it startled both Natalie and the servant.


    Natalie uneasily looked at Selina.


    What was going on with Selina?


    Natalie could see that Selina had lost her


    composure.


    Selina took a deep breath and said more calmly this time, "I saw it in a moviest time and found it interesting. That''s why I asked,"


    Natalie didn''t know what to say to that statement.


    She felt that something was off. Selina almost lost her chill and now she was talking about a movie?


    Natalie figured it out in a matter of seconds.


    It seemed that Selina knew that she lost herposure, so she probably made up an excuse to redirect her thoughts.


    Natalie looked at the servant who was taken aback by Selina''s actions and said, "Esmae, why don''t you just tell her?"


    The servant named Esmae Gracia


    licked her lips and said, "I knowContent (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    about this because I heard it from someone Apparently, The Witch n harbours lots of spells, spells of different sorts. I thought it was all a lientil my neighbour was,


    in


    bewitched,"


    Selina tensed up as she heard what Esmae said and stared intently into Esmae''s eyes.


    Esmae continued, "It turns out that


    my neighbour went to the Witch


    el.nét


    n for a tour and one of the women from the Witch n fell in love with him. However, my neighbour is married, thus it''s impossible for him to get together with that woman. That woman then ced a love spell on my neighbour. He dumped his wife and sold all his earthly possessions to be with the woman from the Witch n,"


    Hearing Esmae''s words, Selina felt the pain in her head was getting stronger.


    Natalie thought she was listening to some stories from the Arabian Nights. She said to Esmae, "Esmae, why do I feel that you are telling a fictional story? Is there really such a thing? Does it really exist?"


    Esmae said with certainty, "Miss Godfrey, I am not just telling you a fictional story. This is true. Everyone living in my neighbourhood knows about it. I won''t lie to you,"


    Natalie could not help butugh. "Why do I feel like it''s just a story and nothing more?"


    She looked over at Selina. "Selina, what do you think?"


    Whatever Natalie was about to say was stuck in her throat as she noticed how pale Selina looked. Herplexion was paler than it was when she first reached.


    Natalie said anxiously, "Selina, what''s wrong?"


    Selina tried to look at Natalie, but her eyesight turned blurry. It was as if there were two Natalies in front of her.


    She held her head and said, "Natalie, I''m so tired and dizzy,"


    Natalie hurried to help Selina up and said, "Let me help you up to sleep on the bed. You must be exhausted,"


    Selina had no objection.


    Natalie held Selina as they headed upstairs. She tucked Selina into bed.


    After Natalie left, Selina closed her eyes.


    There were a lot of thoughts going


    through her mind. Her mind was in an utter mess. She wanted to forget everything, but she just couldn''t because the thoughts were all so jumbled up that it was about to explode altogether like a supernova.


    Selina knew that she had to calm down.


    However, she just couldn''t, given her current situation.


    She could only force herself to sleep. When she woke up with a clear mind, she would be able to regain herposure.


    At about six o''clock in the evening, Matthew arrived at the Whitlock family estate.


    All matters had been dealt with.


    Natalie told Matthew that Selina was still sleeping soundly when he first reached the Whitlock family


    estate.


    "I wanted to call her down for dinner, but I noticed that she was still sleeping, thus I dared not bother her," Natalie told Matthew.


    "Natalie, thank you."


    Natalie smiled and said, "It''s nothing. Is everything else settled?"


    "It''s all settled." Matthew''s tone was not really relieved.


    "How could she do such a silly thing?" Natalie could not help but say, "Why does she hate Selina so much?"


    "This matter is a bitplicated. I will head up to see if Selina is awake." Matthew did not exin in detail.


    Natalie nodded and said, "Okay,"


    Matthew went upstairs and entered the bedroom.


    Selina was still sleeping.


    However, she wasn''t sleeping well. Her brows were tightly knitted together and her face flickered with a myriad of expressions every now and then.


    Matthew didn''t wake her up but sat by her side.


    Although it was almost seven o''clock, the sun was still making its afterglow known. Light shone into the room through the French window and embraced Matthew, making his silhouette a little dim and bright at the same time.


    His eyes were deep and jet-ck, making it hard for people to read any of his emotions or thoughts.


    "Ah!"


    Al1 of a sudden, Selina screamed.
