Selena was prepared for this, so she didn't show any surprise at Osvaldo's words. She sat in his arms, watching his Adam's apple bob up and down as he spoke, and couldn't resist biting him lightly. She heard him let out a muffled groan.
Osvaldo rubbed her head and spoke hoarsely, "You little troublemaker, stop moving." His patience was wearing thin by the day. If she kept acting up, he might just have to take matters into his own hands.
Feeling a bit guilty, Selena turned her eyes away from him and sat still obediently. Her voice sounded serious as she said, "I need to see Dante about something. Is it convenient now?"
She knew that Dante had been locked up by Osvaldo for treatment of some sort. But Selena had no idea what was really going on.
Osvaldo looked at Selena with an amused expression on his face. His wife wasn't the type to do anything out of kindness or generosity of spirit when it came to Sacred Pearl - she knew that much.
If Selena suddenly wanted to see Dante now... there must be another reason behind it all.
Osvaldo looked into her eyes and chuckled lowly,"Selena, you don't want to help him anymore?" Even though Dante was Osvaldo's brother, when it came down to choosing between them both... well let's just say that Osvaldo would always side with his wife first.
Feeling nervous all of a sudden, Selena hugged Osvaldo tightly around the neck and whispered softly in his ear,"My teachers are coming over to see me..."
Even though Bruno would definitely support her unconditionally, Selena knew there were only three graduates from Lab 717 altogether...
An enemy who was destined to become Selena's enemy would definitely die at her hands in the future. It would be a waste of Bruno and others' efforts if even the last one continued to live like a ghost.
Osvaldo couldn't help but let out a low laugh, "My Selena... is such a kind girl."
Selena liked to hear Osvaldo praise her and smiled with curved eyebrows, "Do you want to know the secret of 'Sacred Pearl'? I'll tell you."
"Perhaps there will be something more powerful than 'Sacred Pearl' in the future..."
Looking at the little girl's expression of "praise me quickly," Osvaldo let out a low chuckle and kissed her forehead, "You little troublemaker."
After they had made their plans, Osvaldo picked up Selena and took her out.
Dante is currently being held in a nursing home. Selena wants to go see him, so Osvaldo made a phone call and Luke went ahead to prepare.
As they were driving halfway there, Selena suddenly remembered that she had left Dante with Constance.
She asked, "Is Constance still alive?"
Constance's family was executed several months ago.
Could Constance survive under Dante's control?
Osvaldo reached over and touched Selena's hair. "We'll know when we get there."
It took Selena some time before she understood what he meant - he didn't know whether or not Constance was still alive either.
After all, Osvaldo only cared about Dante's condition. As for Constance, a mere bystander, even if she were dead, she had no right to report to him.
Selena looked at Osvaldo in surprise. Even though men might not care about Constance's life or death, they would never express it so directly before.
He was intentionally or unintentionally showing his extreme coldness and indifference to Selena...
Selena sat in the passenger seat without saying a word for a long time until they arrived at their destination. When Osvaldo pulled her out of the car, she still didn't say anything.
