The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2510 Food Poisoning

Selena did not stay smug for long after eating the barbecue.

After they entered the bedroom, Eric was suddenly interrupted by an urgent call.

When he came back after the phone call, Selena was already curled up on the bed due to a stomach ache. She dared not move.

Eric's complexion changed, and he took a deep breath.

Selena slowly stretched out her hand and looked at him with disappointment.

"Quick, help me! What are you still doing?"

Eric immediately called the hospital, then he bent down to pick her up and ran outside.

As soon as he went out, he saw the driver had just sent Chance home.

Chance watched in shock as Eric rushed into the car with Selena.

"Aunt Selena, what's wrong with you?"

Eric was anxious and flustered, but he did not forget to use this opportunity to teach his son a lesson.

"This is the consequence of eating junk food!"

Selena was speechless as she thought, 'Damn this b*stard!'

However, she was not in the mood to scold him now.

She was sure that she ate something bad.

Eric sped all the way to the hospital. The doctor was ready to rush Selena into the emergency room.

Selena got her stomach pumped.

She looked wretched.

Even if the nurse noticed that Eric and Selena were the main characters in the headlines during the day, they did not dare to show their shock and were very professional.

Eric had been sitting outside. Although he did not say a word, his eyes were fixed on the door of the emergency room from time to time, and the worry in his eyes could not be concealed. Everyone who passed by looked envious.

It was almost an hour before Selena came out with a pale face.

Selena was pushed to the VIP ward.

The attending physician breathed a sigh of relief.

"She ate some spoiled food and had mild food poisoning. It's not serious. If you want to sue the restaurant, I will issue a pathology report as evidence."

Eric nodded. "Okay."

He was already furious.

He did not know where Selena went to eat barbecue. He wanted this unethical restaurant to close immediately!

"Okay. She can be discharged after a short observation. But you'll have to wait until the patient wakes up. She might be groggy if you wake her up now." What the doctor said was simple and clear.

Eric knew that if he woke Selena up at this moment, she would take out all her anger on him.

He was not a fool.

Thus, the two of them stayed at the hospital overnight.

Eric took a nap on the sofa outside.

It was dawn when Selena woke up.

Aside from her pale lips, Selena's complexion was much better than last night.

Selena opened her eyes, looked at the strange environment, and was in a trance for a moment.

Thinking about what happened last night, Selena suddenly came back to her senses.

Selena got out of bed, went out, and saw Eric, who was lying there. He looked flawless even in his sleep. Eric had waited for her all night.

It turned out that he was not so heartless after all.

Selena thought they were even now.

She went over and nudged Eric's shoulder. He woke up quickly.

"You're awake? Are you still feeling sick? Should I call a doctor?"

Selena shook her head and showed a pale smile.

"No need. I'm just a little hungry. Shall we go back?"

Eric immediately sat up and nodded.

"Let's go."

Eric stood up, took her hand, touched her face, and said seriously, "It's a good thing that you feel hungry."

He walked out afterward.

Selena was taken aback. She frowned.

"Did you stay here all night? I'm sorry for wasting your time."

Eric paused. His face suddenly became a little gloomy.

However, he smiled with restraint and did not lose his temper.

"It's good that you know this. You should learn to be grateful!"

He gave her a meaningful look, held her hand tightly, and then strode out.

Selena did not react at first.

When there were a lot of people, she subconsciously wanted to pull her hand out lest they get seen by others.

The scandal yesterday was not too big nor too small, but Selena had a glimpse of what it meant to be canceled.

As soon as Selena struggled, Eric clenched her hand even tighter.

He gave her a warning look.

"Don't move around. I won't look for you if you get lost."

Selena curled her lips and suddenly felt that his cold expression was not so annoying anymore.

Perhaps she had never found him annoying.

Eric was just sharp-tongued, but he had a kind and soft heart.

The discomfort in Selena's heart from yesterday eased.

The two of them got into the elevator and stood side by side.

No one was around.

Eric suddenly thought of something. "Where did you go to eat barbecue yesterday? The test report came out. You got food poisoning because of spoiled ingredients. Should I get a lawyer for you?" Selena frowned and paused.

"No. If you sue them, they will go out of business! It's just a food truck. I was just unlucky."

After all, her mood greatly improved after eating at that food truck.

The couple that ran the food truck did not look vicious either.

Something probably went wrong with their ingredients during shipment.

Eric glanced at her in disapproval.

However, he did not say anything. After all, Selena would not listen to him.

Back at the villa, Chance was still at home.

Eric looked at him with displeasure. "Why didn't you go to school?"

Chance glanced at Selena carefully.

"I was worried about Aunt Selena, so I called the teacher for a day off."

Selena did not bring her phone, and Chance did not dare to call Eric to ask about Selena's condition.

Thus, he just stayed at home and waited.

Seeing that Selena was back, Chance felt relieved.

Selena touched Chance's small face and felt very emotional.

"Our little Chance is the best! I recovered quickly because of your concern!"

Chance blushed and smiled happily.

Eric sneered from the side. "Why, are you going to start discussing metaphysics with him now?"

Eric stayed there all night, but Selena did not say anything nice to him.

She even gave all the credit to that brat?

How ridiculous!

However, Selena had indeed recovered quickly.

Eric was busy with Selena and did not get to settle his work last night, which caused the affairs abroad to escalate. Thus, he had to go abroad to deal with it in person.

Thus, Selena stayed alone in the villa for two days without doing anything productive.

The servants were very considerate and cooked according to her preferences.

After a few days of interaction, the servants were no longer as afraid of Selena.

As long as they did not offend her, Selena was an easygoing person. She would not replace fault with them on purpose, nor would she belittle them.

The gossip online subsided, and the bar's renovation was as scheduled.

Thus, Selena went to the bar to check it out.

She stayed in the bar all day and discussed interior design with Chaz.
