Mrs. Riddle watched Leah's hysterical state, feeling as if her heart was being torn apart. She covered her chest and almost collapsed, crying, "Leah, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Leah glared at her with hatred.
Mrs. Riddle felt a chill in her heart as she was looked at by Leah. She couldn't tell if it was more heartache or regret.
Everything she did was for Leah.
But in the end, her daughter became the person who resented her the most in the world.
After a moment, Leah suddenly calmed down and became quiet again.
She lowered her head and didn't look at Mrs. Riddle. It seemed that she had been pushed to a dead end and said in despair, "Mom, if you really feel guilty, then help me one more time..."
...
The next day, when Selena finished school, she unsurprisingly saw Talon outside the gates of Creephia University.
After two months, Talon had changed remarkably.
When they first met, although this young man had a cold temperament, he was gentle and courteous, and there was a youthful vigor in his eyes and brows.
But the person standing under the camphor tree at this moment was lifeless, without any youthful sharpness belonging to a young man, and was entirely cold.
Selena walked over and stopped a few steps away from the young man.
Talon stared at the face in front of him, which was clearly familiar but had a completely different temperament. There was a tinge of pain in his eyes, as if he wanted to look away but couldn't bear to. After a while, he spoke, "I have only one request."
Selena looked at him quietly.
Talon stared into her eyes, his voice very low and slightly hoarse. "Don't dirty her hands."
Selena was silent for a moment before saying, "I can only promise you that these hands will never be stained with the blood of any good person."
Talon said calmly, "That's enough."
Selena's tumultuous life was no secret. For her to promise to this extent was already her limit.
If he still asked her to preserve Selena's innocence, kindness, and naivety, it was no different than sending her to her death.
Selena was already dead.
He absolutely does not want to see the soul reborn in the body of the girl she loves, following in her footsteps.
After Talon finished speaking, he turned and left.
After the young man left, Leia came over with a frown, "Madam, was he here to plead for the Walson family?"
Selena looked at Talon's back and smiled, "No."
Leia was surprised, "Then what was he here for?"
Selena rubbed her head, turned and got into the car, and threw out a sentence into the air, "To remind me not to take the wrong path."
Leia looked puzzled and wanted to ask more, but Selena's phone suddenly rang.
She put her backpack on the seat, looked at the number, and a hint of something flashed in her eyes. She pressed the answer button, "Klara."
Klara's anxious voice came from the other end, "Lady Selena, Leah came here yesterday afternoon. She knows I'm pregnant. Will she..."
"She will definitely take action!" Selena said calmly, "So I warn you, stay in the convalescent home, and if there are special circumstances that require you to go out, let the caregiver who protects you accompany you. As long as you listen to me, you and your son will be safe."
Without waiting for Klara to speak, Selena's tone suddenly turned cold, and a chill emerged, "But if you run out on your own and something happens, don't blame me for not keeping my promise."
