Rainee seemed to have changed into a different person even though it had been only a short time since Selina last saw her.
She was left with just skin and bones. Her face was sickly pale and her eyes lifeless.
"What are you doing here? " Selina asked coldly.
Rainee looked defiant. "I am here to see Matthew."
"Rainee, you are testing my patience. Didn't you understand a word of what I said to you that last time? Do you need me to teach you a lesson?" Selina's tone was harsh.
Rainee's lips trembled.
The next thing she did was beyond anything Selina could have expected.
Rainee got on her knees and knelt in front of Selina.
Selina was dumbfounded.
"What are you doing!" Selina panicked.
Rainee pleaded. "Selina, I am begging you. Please let me meet Matthew, just for a moment."
Selina did not have a heart of stone.
Seeing Rainee kneeling before her, her heart wavered.
Sensing Selina's hesitation, Rainee continued, "No one else in the world apart from Matthew would love me now. I beg you, Selina. Please let me have him."
Hearing this, Selina changed her mind.
Rainee was lying when she said she just wanted to meet Matthew. What she truly wanted was to have Matthew.
She would never allow this to happen.
Selina squatted down and looked straight at Rainee. "Rainee, it's impossible for you to have Matthew. Go back to the hospital, I will pretend that you have never been here."
Rainee sobbed, "If you don't let me have Matthew, I will die."
She pointed at her sunken face and cried out, "Can't you see what I have become? If you don't let me have him, I will die!"
lt was heartbreaking to see Rainee's pathetic state.
At this moment, Selina lost all her anger towards Rainee. She only felt sorry for her.
She murmured, "I'm sorry, but even if you threaten me, I won't hand over Matthew to you. Stop being foolish and come to your senses."
A look of resentment flashed across Rainee's face. "I know that Matthew actually wanted to see me. It was you who stopped him from coming! It must be! Selina, it was you who came between me and Matthew!" Selina was speechless.
"Suit yourself."
Rainee slowly stood up.
She gritted her teeth and replied viciously. "Selina, karma will catch up to you eventually. You may be able to stop me from meeting Matthew today, but one day someone will snatch him away from you."
The look in Selina's eyes remained steadfast. "You can be rest assured that would not happen. Matthew will always love me and me alone."
Rainee's expression turned murderous.
She stared maliciously at Selina, eyes boring into her face.
Without warning, Rainee rushed toward Selina.
Selina was startled.
Fortunately, Rainee did not manage to attack her.
Someone had restrained Rainee from behind. It was Matheo.
Matheo was holding Rainee as tightly as he could.
Matheo had arrived just in time to prevent the tragedy. After he returned with the sushi, Rainee was nowhere to be found in the hospital. Knowing her, he immediately rushed to the Perry family's villa.
"Rainee, I've had enough of you fooling around!" Matheo shouted angrily.
Rainee bit her lip and fell silent.
A car drove over to them and two bodyguards got off.
The bodyguards escorted Rainee into the car.
Matheo apologized profusely to Selina. "Miss Whitlock, I'm very sorry for Rainee's misconduct. Please don't mind her."
His voice was hoarse and raspy.
He appeared exhausted and looked like he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
She glanced at Matheo and replied, "I do mind."
