Selina sniffed and said with watery eyes, "Natalie, is it true that my mother doesn't care about me anymore? Does she only care about Matthew?"
Natalie did not know what to say.
She could see that Selina had been hurt by Cecilia's actions.
Natalie tried to console Selina, "It's impossible. You're the biological daughter of your mother. Don't think too much."
Selina gave a wry smile and said, "How can I not think too much? All of you are siding with Matthew. Between Matthew and I, I don't know who truly belongs to the Whitlock family anymore."
Natalie was speechless.
She wanted to continue the conversation, only for Selina to say, "Well, since Mother doesn't want to see me, I guess I'll just go out for a walk."
"Selina," Natalie called out.
Selina begged Natalie, "Natalie, I'm so depressed right now. Can't you just let me go?"
What could Natalie say to that?
She nodded her head and said, "Be careful."
After taking a few steps, Selina stopped in her path and turned around, "Natalie, please give me a call if anything happens to Mom."
Although she was heartbroken now, she could not stop worrying about her mother.
Selina reached the main entrance of the hospital and got into a taxi.
She told the driver to drive without any particular destination.
She assumed that since Cecilia would not want to see her, she did not have to worry whether she could make it back quickly or not.
All of a sudden, Selina remembered something.
Rocky was still in the condominium.
A long time had passed. She was worried that something bad would happen to Rocky because it was alone.
Selina asked the driver to drive to the condominium immediately.
Selina looked for Rocky once she reached the condominium.
Fortunately, Rocky was fine. It was curled up in a corner and whining.
Selina held Rocky in her arms.
She knew that Rocky must be hungry. It had been a long time since she had fed Rocky.
"Rocky, are you hungry?" Selina looked at Rocky and asked.
Rocky whined again.
Selina felt sorry for it. She said, "I'll take you to the Pet Home in Fortune Plaza now. I'll get some tasty food for you."
Fortune Plaza was a well-known business district in Agaphen City. That was where Pet Home, which was the biggest pet shop in the city, was located. There were all kinds of clothes, food, and toiletries for pets in the store.
At the moment, Lothar was spoon feeding his younger sister, Yesseca Cowell in a certain hospital.
Yesseca was very thin, so much so that her legs were as slim as someone else's arm.
She had beautiful facial features. However, because of her sickly look, she appeared more like someone who had escaped from a refugee camp than the beauty she was.
Lothar had prepared a nutritional drink for Yesseca.
He carefully placed the nutritional drink in Yesseca's mouth. He waited for her to finish drinking before wiping her mouth clean.
Yesseca looked at Lothar with a smile and said, "I've been feeling much better recently. I feel very energetic."
Lothar said gratefully, "That's good!"
Yesseca said, "You don't have to tire yourself out taking care of me anymore once I've recovered."
"I'm not tired at all," Lothar said hurriedly.
Yesseca pursed her lips and said, "I know that you're very tired. I heard from the nurse that you took care of me for a few nights in a row. In the end, you were so exhausted that you fell asleep while still standing."
"They were just talking nonsense," Lothar said. He was afraid that Yesseca would worry about him.
