After talking to Matthew on the phone, Ludwik was ready to leave the Yeager family home.
Before he left, Lucinda went on a long- winded tirade at Ludwik. The general idea was that Matthew must give Rainee an explanation.
Ludwik promised Lucinda, "I will talk to Matthew tonight. I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow!"
Lucinda only stopped talking at Ludwik's promise.
If someone else had impregnated her daughter, Lucinda would definitely not be waiting so quietly. However, Matthew was the one involved. She also knew that if Matthew and Rainee were to end up together, Rainee would be elevated to a higher social status.
Therefore, Lucinda was particularly patient when it came to Matthew.
Before Ludwik left, Rainee softly said to him, "Mr. Perry, Matthew wasn't completely sober when it happened. He might not even remember anything. Don't blame him."
Ludwik saw how well-behaved and polite Rainee was, so he was now all the more moved by the way she spoke for Matthew.
"Good child, don't worry about it," Ludwik said.
Selina went to the police station to meet with Brennan.
She knew that Matthew had a lot of things on his mind now. He certainly had no time to help her investigate Brennan's affairs. He might even have forgotten about this matter. Therefore, she was here by herself.
Brennan was still locked up,
When he saw Selina, he lowered his head and said nothing, just like the last time.
No matter what kind of questions Selina asked him, he would not speak.
Finally, Selina lost her patience.
She was already in a bad mood and Brennan's behavior made her even more furious. "You don't want to say it, right? If you don't want to say it, then just rot in jail for the rest of your life!"
Brennan's head fell even more.
Selina rushed away in anger.
She went to the hospital that Yesseca was at.
Lothar was much better now, and most of his wounds were almost completely healed.
"Lothar, do you really not know the man who beat you up?" Selina asked.
Lothar shook his head. "I swear to God, I really don't know him. He just barged in and beat me up. That was my first time seeing him!"
Selina pondered for a moment. "Lothar, this matter might have something to do with me."
Lothar's eyes flashed with astonishment. "How could it be related to you?"
Selina then told Lothar everything.
Everything pieced itself together for Lothar before he stammered, "So, he thinks that I'm your boyfriend, and then he misunderstood my relationship with Yesseca, so he decided to beat me up?"
Selina nodded.
Lothar carried his head in his hands. "How can that be? You must be very familiar with him then! The fact that he beat me up for you means that he's probably been secretly in love with you for a long time!"
Confusion flashed in Selina's eyes.
"The problem is that I don't know him at all!"
Lothar was stunned.
"Then what's going on?"
Selina was a little annoyed. "I don't know and that person is so stubborn. He doesn't say anything no matter what I ask him!"
"Don't worry. Thing will become clear with an investigation."
"Yeah." Selina added, "Although I don't recognize him, he seems familiar somehow. Still, I can't seem to recall who he is."
"Then you must know him," Lothar said.
Selina shook her head. "I don't think so."
After a pause, she changed the subject. "By the way, how's Yesseca?"
"She's fine. She just fell asleep."
Selina nodded and said, "I've dispatched someone to find a kidney that is compatible with Yesseca. As soon as there is a suitable one, she'll immediately go into surgery to do the kidney transplant."
Lothar's eyes were filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Selina."
"No need for that, we're friends."
The word "friend" made Lothar's heart sting as if it had been pricked by a needle.
He and Selina were indeed friends now.
However, this friendship was not formed honorably.
Lothar's eyes showed his internal struggle.
Should he tell Selina the truth?
He had thought about this question many times, but he could never make up his mind.
"Selina," Lothar called out after gathering his courage.
