Selina smiled wearily, "Yes, when I am sad I really have no strength to get out of bed and eat."
"Then I'll bring you the food. What do you wish to eat?" Matthew asked.
"Anything is fine."
"Okay," Matthew walked out of the room.
After Matthew left, Selina sat up on the bed.
She drew her knees to her chest, and stared into space.
How could she make up for what she had done wrong towards Brennan?
Her heart suddenly tightened.
Selina felt that she could never make it up to the man. The psychologist said that he had been seeing him for 10 years or so. Brennan must have dealt with pressing mental issues ever since the junior year of high school. He must have never had a happy childhood. His youth had been lost. Even if Selina tried, she would never be able to make up for the torture he had suffered in the past.
Selina pinched her thighs hard. The pain shot through her body.
She hated herself for being so cruel and playing such pranks. If she had not done such a thing, Brennan would not have...
She bit her lip tightly.
Whatever it was, she had to pay Brennan a visit the next day.
She wanted to release Brennan.
It was not Brennan's fault that he had attacked Lothar, but hers.
She had to apologize to Brennan.
Selina bit her lip even harder.
She hoped that Brennan would forgive her.
Matthew returned to the room.
He had with him some pasta.
The pasta was lightly seasoned but it looked delicious.
"I was afraid that you would be hungry so I cooked something simple," Matthew said.
She nodded, "It looks tasty."
"It doesn't just look good but it tastes good too."
Selina smiled sweetly.
Matthew handed a plate to Selina.
Selina hesitated, "Do you really want to eat in bed?"
She had never eaten a meal in bed.
"Yes. Let's try it once," Matthew's tone was gentle.
Selina contemplated for a second before started to eat. Matthew ate next to her too.
Minutes later, they had finished everything on the plates.
Matthew put the empty dishes on the bedside table, "I'll clean it up tomorrow. Let's go back to sleep."
Selina blinked her eyes at Matthew, "It's not good to sleep straight away after eating."
"You're upset today, hence let's do what we want. There are no rules so don't worry about it."
Selina cried out, "Matthew, you are spoiling me."
"Yes, so let me continue okay?" Matthew looked at Selina lovingly.
"But if you spoil me, you will regret it in the future."
"No, I will not."
Selina sighed softly.
