Lady Lauren knew she was blaming herself and comforted 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 discomfort 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 Black Crow and White Crow's number.
Shortly after, Black 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 the commotion 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 from last night would have been enough to take her life.
Black Crow glanced 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 Black Crow's face. "Black Crow, you tell me."
Black Crow hesitated for a moment before saying, "... Maybe the 'Divine Love' organization has come up with some new harmful tricks again."
This was the phrase White Crow had taught him before they entered.
Selena's eyelashes trembled, and it was unclear if she believed him or not. "Why do you say that?"
Black Crow replied, "... Last night, not only were you affected, but your man was affected even worse than you."
Selena lowered her eyelashes and after a moment said, "I understand, you guys can go back to what you were doing."
Black Crow and White Crow exchanged a glance 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 planning to break up with him?
Black 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, Black Crow and White Crow returned to the Capital University laboratory.
