Chapter 1438 Waking Up
Lady Lauren knew she was ming herself andforted her, "When Selena wakes up, remember to
apologize to her."
Leia sniffled and walked upstairs to check on Selena.
...
Selena woke up the next day at noon.
Lady Lauren was by her side and helped her sit up as soon as she opened her eyes. "How are you,
Selena? Do you feel any difort anywhere?"
Selena raised her hand to touch her chest.
The pain that had threatened to tear her apart before had disappeared, as if it had never existed.
But Selena didn''t feel happy about it. Instead, there was an indescribable sense of loss.
She rubbed her forehead and said, "Thank you, Madam. I''m fine."
Lady Lauren looked at Selena''s listless expression, wanted to say something, but swallowed it back
and stood up. "You''ve slept for a day. I''ll go get you something to eat."
After Lady Lauren left, Selena picked up her phone from the table and dialed ck Crow and White
Crow''s number.
Shortly after, ck Crow and White Crow walked in one after the other.
Selena had already changed into clothes and was sitting on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window. She
didn''t turn around when she heard themotion and only asked, "What''s wrong with me?"
Although Selena was not in good health, she didn''t have any serious illnesses. If she were still the Miss
Riddle of the Riddle family, the pain fromst night would have been enough to take her life.
ck Crow nced at White Crow.
White Crow told the truth, "We can''t figure out the cause for now."
Selena picked up a strand of hair beside her cheek with her slender fingers and spoke in a tone that
didn''t reveal any emotions. "So, does that mean I might have the same situation in the future?"
White Crow''s answer was even more concise, "Maybe."
There was silence for a while.
After a long time, Selena asked again, "If you can''t find the cause, you must have a guess in your
hearts, right?"
White Crow was about to speak when Selena suddenly turned around and stared sharply at ck
Crow''s face. "ck Crow, you tell me."
ck Crow hesitated for a moment before saying, "... Maybe the ''Divine Love'' organization hase
up with some new harmful tricks again."
This was the phrase White Crow had taught him before they entered.
Selena''s eyshes trembled, and it was unclear if she believed him or not. "Why do you say that?"
ck Crow replied, "... Last night, not only were you affected, but your man was affected even worse
than you."
Selena lowered her eyshes and after a moment said, "I understand, you guys can go back to what
you were doing."
ck Crow and White Crow exchanged a nce and both saw the shock in each other''s eyes.
They had talked this far, but Selena hadn''t asked about Osvaldo''s situation... Was she nning to
break up with him?
ck Crow and White Crow had no intention of interfering with Selena''s personal love life.
If Selena liked Osvaldo, then they approved of him.
Of course, if Selena decided to go back to Stanley, they would be even happier.
After making sure the young girl was not seriously injured, ck Crow and White Crow returned to the
Capital Universityboratory.
They were at the final stages of the underground virus vine, and if it wasn''t Selena who was in
trouble, no one could make them leave.
A few minutes after ck Crow and White Crow left, Lady Lauren walked in with a tray in her hands.
On the tray was a bowl of fragrant and thick porridge and a few appetizers.
Selena watched as Lady Lauren put the things on the table and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Lady Lauren looked at the mncholy expression on the girl''s face and sighed softly.
As a woman and an experienced one at that, she could probably guess what Selena was thinking at
the moment.
A neen-year-old girl, experiencing love for the first time and being so loved by Osvaldo, made her
taste the best of love.
However, the bitterness of love was also experienced for the first time, and Selena couldn''t help feeling
lost and confused.
She did care about Osvaldo, but she didn''t know how to face him.
Lady Lauren looked at Selena, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Selena, my son... has been
tasting drugs since he was a child."
Selena looked up in shock, as if she hadn''t understood the meaning of Lady Lauren''s words.
Lady Lauren''s eyes were filled with bitterness, and her tone was tinged with a hint of heartache.
"Osvaldo was always a child who was different from normal children. When other children were still

cuddling with their mothers and being cute, he had already learned to be independent. When I wanted
to hold him, he would get upset."
"When other children fell and got hurt or sick, they would cry and make a fuss, but he wouldn''t. Except
for when he was born and cried once, he never cried again from childhood to adulthood."
"Other children would have toys they wanted, hobbies, people they wanted to be close to, and they
would get angry when they were unhappy andugh when they were happy, but he wouldn''t..."
"I took him to see a psychologist, and the doctor said my son isn''t sick, he''s just like that by nature."
With a high IQ, exceptional talent, mental resilience, both parents, and a strong background... he was
born at the top of the human pyramid and passed with flying colors.
That''s what those psychologists said about Osvaldo during his childhood.
Lady Lauren still remembers the stunning yet pitying look those people gave when they said those
words.
He was too perfect, to the point where he couldn''t be happy or sad, didn''t feel love or hate, didn''t even
know how to cry orugh, let alone the desires and emotions that normal people have.
He lived like a machine, following a set pattern. Nothing and nobody could truly move his emotions, he
didn''t even know why he was alive...
At this point, Lady Lauren''s eyes turned red.
Selena listened intently, feeling a touch of emotion in her heart.
Lady Lauren continued speaking, her expression unclear whether she was happy or scared, "But
things changed when he was twelve."
She looked into Selena''s eyes, her tone extremely gentle, "The year when he turned twelve, he
experienced a kidnapping."
"Although he was rescuedter, until now, his father and I still don''t know what he went through during
that kidnapping."
"I asked him, but he only said it was nothing."
"But since then, my son has changed," Lady Lauren''s eyes revealed a hint of joy, "Although it was a
very small change, it was enough."
"He learned to daydream. Whenever he was alone, he would always be lost in thought, as if missing
someone. asionally, he would unconsciously search for something..."
"On his twelfth birthday, he spoke for the first time to my husband, asking for a birthday gift."
A child who had never asked anyone for anything suddenly spoke out... what did he want?
Selena widened her eyes slightly, her heart beating inexplicably unbnced.
At this moment, Lady Lauren''s expression was indescribable, with ayer of something like joy and
sadness in her eyes, "He asked for..."
