Selena rushed down to the garden and finally snapped out of her horror.
She stood in front of the fountain, panting heavily with a red face.
Even though she had never been in a romantic relationship before, she knew that she had just done something terrible.
"Oh my God, Jesus, Mary..." she muttered, wishing for a thunderbolt to strike her and make her forget what just happened.
At nineteen years old, she felt the urge to cover her face and hide in a hole for the first time.
Meanwhile, the others in the castle heard the commotion and rushed out to investigate.
Leia was the first to find Selena and noticed that something was off with her demeanor. "Madam, what's wrong?" she asked with concern.
Startled by Leia's sudden voice, Selena turned around as if she had been shot by an arrow.
After seeing that it was Leia, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Leia noticed Selena's flushed cheeks and asked in surprise, "Madam, are you feeling sick? Your face is so flushing."
Trying to keep her emotions under control, Selena coughed and said, "It's nothing... The young master is badly injured, and just applying medicine won't be enough. Please find a doctor and have him administered with an anti-inflammatory injection."
As she spoke, Selena remembered that she had accidentally left the suturing needle on Osvaldo's body, and her expression showed a hint of regret.
She had never made such a mistake before and wondered where she had gone wrong today, nearly causing harm to Osvaldo.
Leia shook her head at Selena's request. "Young master won't agree to it," she said.
Confused, Selena asked, "Why not?"
"He's not patient enough," Leia replied after thinking for a moment. "Young master is healthy and rarely gets injured. No one has ever seen him get an injection since he was a child."
Selena frowned, and Leia continued with a smile, "But if you persuade him, Madam, I'm sure he'll agree."
Selena hesitated. A few minutes ago, she would have gone to see him immediately. But now, would the man think she had ulterior motives?
Her face reddened again as she coughed and said, "You go get the doctor and the medication ready. I'll call Lady Lauren."
Selena knew that the people in the castle couldn't control Osvaldo, but his mother, Lady Lauren, could. Leia blinked at Selena's decision.
She really wanted to tell Selena what Osvaldo refused to do, but it wouldn't be useful even if the lady came.
However, she suddenly realized that saying it out loud might make the pretty lady misunderstand their young master's character, so she had to swallow the words back and changed her words, "But the lady doesn't know about the young master's injury. If we tell her, she will worry..."
Selena thought for a moment and agreed.
Although Osvaldo's injury was severe, it was not fatal and he just needed to rest well.
Telling Lady Lauren would only make her worry.
Selena nodded and said, "Go call the doctor to prepare the medicine, then come and call me."
Leia immediately smiled and ran back.
Selena turned around and looked at the exquisitely carved statue of the goddess in front of her, took a deep breath, and did some mental preparation for herself.
She couldn't possibly never see Osvaldo again in the future...
