Selina's long eyelashes fluttered gently, casting a shadow at the bottom of her eyes.
"Lothar, that woman is here too," Selina said.
Lothar's eyes flashed with confusion.
Lothar's jaw dropped when Selina whispered a few words in his ear.
"Now that I'm here, what can I do for you?" asked Lothar.
Selina's heart was full of sorrow. "Lothar, I'm already tired from dealing with Matthew and I don't think I can handle my mom. She must not find out the truth. I told her that Saoirse was just Matthew's assistant from work, but Saoirse refused to leave and kept crying. I have no idea what to do."
The more she talked about it, the more annoyed Selina became. "Lothar, I asked you to come here to help me think of a solution. I really don't want my mom to find out about this."
Lothar consoled Selina. "Don't be upset anymore. I'll take care of this for you."
"How are you going to fix this?" Selina asked.
"You don't have to worry about that. I have my own
methods."
Then Selina and Lothar entered Matthew's operating room together.
Surely enough, just as Selina said, Saoirse was bawling her eyes out. Cecilia and Natalie looked at her with confusion.
Lothar strode over.
He walked over to Saoirse. "Stop crying, Saoirse."
Saoirse lifted her head and looked at Lothar through her teary eyes.
She did not know who Lothar was.
However, she wasn't in a mood to ask either.
With Matthew's life in danger, that was all she could care about at the moment. Nothing else mattered.
Saoirse lowered her head and continued to cry.
Lothar said a few words of comfort then stood up.
He walked up to Selina.
At this moment, Selina was standing with Cecilia and Natalie.
Guilt and embarrassment was plastered on Lothar's face. "I'm so sorry about my girlfriend's constant weeping. That's just how she is, crying at every small matter. No one can stop her."
Relief washed over Cecilia and Natalie.
It turned out that Saoirse belonged to the man in front of them.
Selina was taken aback by his bold statement.
Turns out this was what Lothar had in mind!
She immediately glanced at Cecilia and Natalie. Surely enough, suspicion had faded from their eyes.
Selina let out a sigh of relief.
Lothar went on, "Don't worry about her. Just let her cry in peace. She will go home once she's done crying. That's how she is."
He paused and said, "Then I'll sit over there and not bother you."
When Lothar was done, he sat on a bench further away.
As soon as he left, Cecilia turned to Selina and asked, "Selina, who is that?"
"He's just a friend of mine."
"Oh," Cecilia said. "His girlfriend is really pretty, but there seems to be something wrong with her brain."
Selina let out a small chuckle.
After some time had passed, the operating room finally opened again at night.
The doctor said that Matthew was no longer in danger.
It turned out that the accident had caused bruising in Matthew's brain, but the doctor failed to detect it when he took a CT scan. They only discovered it when his condition worsened.
"He's in a stable condition now, you just have to wait for the patient to wake up." The doctor looked relieved.
Selina was still a little worried. "Will there be any problem this time?"
