Selina's gaze froze.

She glanced back at the operating theatre and said, "How about later? I'm busy at the moment."

"Okay. Let me know when you're free, I will go and pick you up."

"Mmm, sure," Selina murmured in hesitation and asked, "Did Saoirse contact you?"

"No, we haven't contacted each other today."

Selina felt a little relieved after hearing the answer.

Matthew added, "Selina, you can rest assured that I won't cross the line even if she comes looking for me. I know what I'm doing. Trust me."

"Okay, I trust you."

Although Selina said so, she still felt insecure deep inside.

After all, Saoirse was stunningly beautiful. Selina still remembered clearly how the men had reacted when she'd entered the restaurant that previous night.

After hanging up the call with Matthew, she looked at Lothar.

"Lothar, do you think men will be tempted when they see a beautiful lady?"

At this moment, Lothar's mind was completely occupied with Yesseca hence he gave a passing reply, "Of course, everyone likes beautiful women."

"Oh," Selina's voice became low.

After a moment, she suddenly asked, "Lothar, do you think I'm beautiful?"

Lothar's breathing stopped.

He directed his attention on to Selina.

He stared deeply into Selina's eyes and then blushed, "Selina, although I always pick on you, all jokes aside, you're the prettiest girl I've seen in my life." Lothar said the last sentence especially soft.

"What if there is a woman who is ten times prettier than me?"

"That's impossible."

"If there is!"

Lothar thought for a moment, "Such a beauty must be a goddess from heaven."

Selina became moody again.

Half an hour later, the door to Yesseca's operating theatre opened.

Her operation had been successful.

"We would still have to observe her closely to see how her body reacts for a few days. If everything is fine then she can be discharged soon," the doctor said to Selina and Lothar. Lothar was overjoyed.

He ran over to check on Yesseca but she was asleep. Her face was pale but her eyelashes were shockingly black and long.

Lothar looked at Yesseca for a long time and his eyes suddenly turned red.

He murmured, "Yesseca, you're finally healthy once again. I am so happy for you."

Upon hearing Lothar's words, Selina felt tears fill her eyes too.

She patted Lothar on the shoulder, "Lothar, come on you're a man, don't cry. You should smile because Yesseca is well now."

Lothar wiped his eyes and said, "Yes you are right, I should smile."

He looked at Selina and said in a solemn tone, "Selina, I am grateful for everything you've done for Yesseca and I. I am forever indebted to you, no, I belong to you now. From now on, if you need help or anything done, just say the word and I'll get it done for you no matter what it takes."

Selina was startled, "What do you mean by that? I already have a partner."

Lothar was speechless.

He realized that he had said something wrong and his face turned red again.

"What I mean is that in the future, I will be at your disposal whenever. I will never be able to repay your kindness!"

Selina smiled, "This is nothing. Lothar, you're my friend. I will do my best to help you no matter what."

Lothar's heart surged with a feeling of gratitude.

"Selina, I want to tell you something," Lothar plucked up his courage.

"Yes?"

Lothar glanced at the bench not far away, "It might take for a long time to explain. Let's sit down and talk."

They were standing at the entrance of Yesseca's ward.

Selina was about to walk over and sit when she suddenly thought of something.

She said to Lothar, "How about next time? I still have some things to do."

Lothar was stunned.

The courage that he had gathered vanished because of Selina's words.

"Well, all right then."

Selina nodded and exited the hospital. At the same time, she made a phone call to Matthew.

Ten minutes later, Matthew arrived at the hospital's entrance.

"Why are you here? What's the matter?" Matthew's tone was urgent and the concern in his eyes was obvious.

A sweet smile formed on Selina's face, "I'm fine. Lothar's younger sister just had a surgery, that's why I came."

Upon hearing this, Matthew let out a sigh of relief.

He patted Selina's head, "I thought my darling got hurt."

"How so? I'm in good shape."

Matthew took Selina to the place where Brennan was detained.

When they arrived at the police station, Matthew gave Selina a stack of documents, "Take a look."

Selina skimmed the documents.

The documents held all the information about Brennan from his childhood to adulthood. Selina paid no attention to most of it except for one part.

Brennan had studied in the same high school as Selina back in the United States.

Selina was astonished about this piece of information.

Then something flashed through her mind.

Selina caught the piece of memory that flashed through.

She finally remembered.

Selina had always felt that Brennan was somehow familiar but she had never been able to place it. Who would have known that they attended the same high school?

Actually, it wasn't too strange that Selina couldn't remember him. There were just too many students in that high school. If Brennan had not once written an amazingly long love letter to Selina, she probably wouldn't have recognized him at all.

"This man has some psychological problems. After he finished his junior year, he has been seeing a psychologist," Matthew casually said, "So maybe his attack on Lothar is completely because of his mental issues."

Selina's fingers trembled a little.

nonet

Brennan had been seeing a psychologist ever since junior year?

He had given her that love letter when he was in junior year...

Selina's legs suddenly turned weak.

Matthew's sharp eyes noticed and with quick hands went forward and supported Selina, "Selina, what's wrong?"

"Help me to a chair. I'm feeling a little dizzy."

Matthew helped Selina to a bench and sat down.

Selina's brain was in a muddle.

She remembered that Caroline had

was to prank the boys at school. One timez Selina had placed a love letter that a boy gave to her into another boy's desk. Because of that incident, the owner of the love letter on for being queer.

had been teased and picke letter

Selina bit her lip hard.

Was it because of her doing that Brennan went to see a psychologist after his junior year in high school?

At that time, she had just been a young girl with a playful attitude. She'd never expected that her thoughtless actions had caused such harm to someone.

Selina sat there for a long time and Matthew was by her side through it all, holding her hands tightly.

"Selina, are you feeling better now?" Matthew asked after a long time.

Selina glanced at Matthew and nodded.

"I want to pay a visit to Brennan's doctor tomorrow. Can you arrange it for me, Matthew?" Selina asked.

Matthew's eyes flashed with surprise, "Selina, do you know him?"

She nodded and said in a low voice, "I just want to confirm something."

Matthew was really efficient. Selina was able to meet Brennan's psychologist that same night.
