Layon escorted Selena back to the room while asking nervously, "What happened? Why were you getting bullied by her again? Didn't I tell you…"
Before Layon could finish his sentence, he got startled by what came into his sight. "Oh my God. Selena, your face…"
Responsively touching her face, Selena felt something was flowing out.
Beyond panic, she ran to the mirror to check her face. A second later, she fell onto the ground while trembling incessantly.
"Holy shit. What's going on?"
The two nurses at the scene also recoiled in fear. At that moment, the area on her face pierced by the needle was decomposing rapidly as pus flowed out.
"What's happening to you?" Layon could not suppress his anxiousness. "Could it be the needle got poisoned? Isn't this your needle?"
He recognized instantly it was Selena's medical needle.
Right away, he realized what had happened. It looks like she tried to kill Carla while the latter was injured badly. But who would have thought that she got pierced by Carla with her own needle…
"Quick! Bring me medical kit number one, " Selena signed anxiously.
The nurse immediately found her the medical kit.
Selena nervously searched through the box and took out a bottle of medicine. Just when she was about to apply it, there was an abrupt knocking on the door. The next second, Thompson's voice appeared.
"Selena, Mr. Giblo is here to see you. Is it convenient now?"
Selena was about to go crazy. I'm about to put on the medicine, and I'm running out of time. The rotting area is becoming bigger and bigger. What's Mr. Giblo doing here now?
Selena gave a signal to the nurse to ask her to reject Jombo. But right then, Layon suddenly spat out a sentence. "No problem! Please give us a second!"
Upon saying that, Layon made a gesture toward Selena, asking her to tidy up herself.
Selena got utterly pissed by her brainless father. But at that moment, she had no other option but to comply. Helplessly, she put on her mask and hid away the medical kit.
Layon opened the door and welcomed Jombo courteously. "Mr. Giblo, is there anything? Why do you come here at this hour?"
"I'm here to see Selena."
After witnessing Selena getting bullied by Carla until she nearly lost her life, Jombo felt utterly guilty. With that, he came purposely to comfort Selena.
Selena was leaning against the couch. She tried to get up, and her body fell weak. As such, the nurse rushed to support her.
"Grandpa, " Selena signed casually.
"Selena, how do you feel? Is your injury serious?" Jombo asked with deep concern.
Selena lowered her head without a word as tears began flowing down her face.
"The Giblo family owe you an apology. We've wronged you."
Recalling Carla's merciless gesture, Jombo bit his lips in exasperation.
"Initially, I still felt sorry for her as I thought it was my stubbornness two years ago that caused her and Mrs. Borah to end up like that. But now, her crazy behavior is unforgivable!"
"Indeed. It's unacceptable." Layon also stomped his feet in rage. "Probably she has found out that Selena took her place two years ago. That was why she's been wanting to revenge the latter and bully her."
Just then, Selena bawled out her eyes while signing, "Actually Daddy had advised me to go back. But I'm worried about Venus, who's sick, and Zayn, who has been poisoned. If I go back now, their life would be in danger. That's why I took the risk and stayed. But who would know that Ms. Lierger refused to back off from me? She's been trying to take my life."
"What? Is Zayn poisoned?" A dark expression immediately loomed over Jombo's face. "How did he get poisoned? I thought he merely suffered some slight injury."
"Have you not known about it?" Selena signed anxiously, "Daemon poisoned Venus, and her life's at stake now. Zayn tried to confront him, but he let loose a snake to bite Zayn. Zayn almost lost his life too…"
Right then, Thompson was shaking his head forcefully, signaling her not to reveal it. Yet, Selena ignored him utterly.
