The girl paused. "Forget it. It'll scare you."
Matthew finally found out Reid's whereabouts.
Reid had returned to the United States.
That was beyond Matthew's expectations.
He immediately sent someone to the US to bring Reid back.
He hadn't told Selina where Reid was yet.
He knew that Reid was cunning. Perhaps, when his men arrived in US, Reid might escape again.
Since he wasn't sure if he could catch Reid, Matthew thought it was best to not let Selina know.
Matthew was also concerned about the fact that Ludwik was with them.
Ludwik was currently living with the Perry family. If Ludwik found out about the matter with Reid, Matthew was worried that Ludwik might not be able to take it.
That evening, Selina asked Matthew to drop her at the Cowell family's home.
She wanted to meet Yesseca.
Yesseca never contacted her again after giving her the expensive gift. She was really worried about Yesseca.
When they arrived at the Cowell family's home, Matthew waited downstairs as usual.
Selina looked at Matthew apologetically. "You may have to wait for me for a while."
Matthew smiled. "It's fine. I'll wait for you. Don't worry about me."
Selina turned to leave.
"Wait." Matthew suddenly stopped her.
He opened the door and got off.
"What is it?" Selina asked.
Matthew held Selina's hand. "Nothing, I just wanted to help you up. It won't be good if you fall down from the stairs."
Selina didn't know what to say.
She laughed, "It's not that bad. Besides, many other pregnant women can walk up the stairs without people's help."
Matthew's tone was full of affection. "I don't care what others do, but I want to take care of you as my woman."
Selina felt a warmth arise in her heart.
Although she felt that there was no need for
Matthew to walk her up the stairs, she gladly accepted the affection and care.
When they reached the level where Yesseca's house was located, Matthew kissed Selina's forehead. "Have a good talk with her. Remember not to be emotional. Take care of the child in your belly."
Selina nodded. "Don't worry, I know."
After waiting for Matthew to leave, Selina knocked on the door.
After a while, Yesseca opened the door.
Much to Selina's expectations, Yesseca didn't look too good.
The house was still neat and tidy. Although Yesseca wasn't feeling good, she still managed to hold onto a normal routine of her life.
"Miss Whitlock, you are here," Yesseca said weakly.
Selina walked in.
Yesseca poured a cup of tea for her.
The two of them chatted for a while. Everything was going on fine until Yesseca brought out a calendar.
There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "Miss Whitlock, look, I cross off the dates on the calendar every day. After crossing off sixty days, my brother will be back."
Yesseca said with certainty, "My brother said he would come back in a few months. A month has passed and he'll definitely come back after another two months,"
This time, Yesseca did not ask Selina if she managed to contact Lothar, nor did Yesseca ask if anything happened to Lothar. All Yesseca did was tell Selina with conviction that Lothar would certainly be back after two months.
The firm conviction in Yesecca's tone was heartwrenching for Selina to hear.
She gave it everything she had to get rid of that feeling.
Selina nodded to Yesseca. "Yesseca, you are right. Your brother promised you that he would be back in a few months. He will keep his promise."
