"Why don't you call her yourself to find out? Why did you call me?" Ludwik deliberately mocked his son.
Matthew said helplessly, "You are the witness. Your words are more credible,"
Ludwik smiled. "Don't worry, your wife is doing fine. She ate an extra portion for lunch today."
Hearing Ludwik's words, Matthew was relieved.
In the afternoon, Selina told Ludwik that she would head to the Whitlock family's home. Ludwik immediately arranged for the driver to drive her there.
The driver sent Selina to the Whitlock family's home.
"You can head back first. It may take a long time. I'll ask the driver from my house to send me home later." Selina told the driver.
The driver then drove away.
After that, Selina took a taxi and went to a hospital in Agaphen City.
She wasn't sure if she would be able to encounter the same girl again. She was just trying her luck.
After staying in the hospital for a whole afternoon,
Selina took a close look at every passerby, but she just couldn't find the girl.
Just when she was about to return defeated, a figure appeared in front of her eyes,
It was a girl who wore old- fashioned, rustic looking clothes. Despite so, her features were charming.
Selina's heart beat faster in her chest.
It was the same girl she met in the hospital last time.
That girl told her that there was something wrong with her brain and advised that she head to the Witch Clan to find a doctor. She thought that the girl was just fooling around with her, but it turned out that what the girl said was true.
Selina had really been cursed by magic.
Selina walked over quickly.
She stopped the girl in her tracks.
The girl was shocked when Selina blocked her way.
When she saw that it was Selina, the girl quickly said, "I was just talking nonsense last time. Don't take it to heart,"
The girl felt flustered and panicked when she thought about the cold look in Selina's eyes the last time.
"Sorry, it was my fault last time. I've been looking for you this time because I hope you can save me. Please."
The girl was shocked.
In a cafe not far from the hospital.
It was obvious that the girl had never been to a place like this. She looked rather restrained and uncomfortable, as if she didn't know how to act in such places.
"Essie, is there any way to get rid of the thing in my body?" Selina asked Essie Clark, the girl whom she met twice at the hospital.
The girl had introduced herself as Essie Clarke moments before.
Essie took out a sharp blade from her bag.
"Give me your hand," she said.
Selina hesitated for a moment.
"Give me your hand. Let me take a look at your blood. I won't hurt you."
Selina reached out her wrist.
Essie quickly used the blade to make a small cut on Selina's wrist. Blood immediately oozed out, and the blade was stained with blood.
"That's enough. Apply pressure on your wrist.
Don't let the bleeding continue," Essie said.
Selina took a tissue to stop the bleeding on her wrist.
Essie stared at the blade in her hand for a long time.
Essie walked out of the coffee shop as if she couldn't see what she wanted to see clearly. She looked at the knife in her hand under the glaring sun.
Selina stared at Essie motionlessly. At this moment, all her hope was placed on Essie.
She knew that the girl must be someone special. Otherwise, it was impossible for her to see through Selina's problem at a glance.
