A week passed in the blink of an eye.
That week, Selina dropped by YS Group almost every single day. Tobias had found several experts to come over and have a look at her.
Experts from both Eastern and Western medicinal traditions, as well as others.
However, none of them had a cure.
Selina met with another Eastern Medicine doctor.
The doctor checked for her pulse and sighed deeply.
From that sigh, Selina could tell everything.
Her heart was numb despite knowing what the sigh conveyed.
This week's hard work had exhausted all her emotions, leaving her in despair.
After the doctor left, Selina had a meal with Tobias.
"Tobias, you don't need to find any doctors for me anymore. I know that I can't be saved," Selina said calmly.
Tobias's heart shattered when he heard that.
In actual fact, he also knew that the chances for
Selina to be cured were low, but he was not willing to give up. Even if he knew that everyone he found did not have any ideas, he wanted to give some hope to both him and Selina.
'TH find someone else," Tobias said.
His voice was extremely low when he spoke.
Selina forced a smile and said nothing.
"Forget it. I want to spend the rest of my days peacefully. I guess I have to put my plan into action now," Selina spoke indifferently.
Tobias's chest stiffened for a moment.
He stared into Selina's eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you sure you really want to do that?"
"Yes. I told you before."
"Are you really not going to tell Matthew?"
"Yes."
"Selina, I still think that you have to tell him about this. No matter what, Matthew has the right to know."
"Tobias." Selina stared into Tobias's eyes. "You promised me."
She paused and said, "If you were in my position, will you hide this from Natalie or will you tell Natalie everything and let her stay by your bedside, feeling helpless, knowing that every breath you draw leads you a step closer to death?"
Her words caught Tobias's breath.
After a long while, he said, "I promise you that I won't tell him. I'll think of some other way,"
After Selina left, Tobias sat by his desk, his thick brows furrowed into a tight knot.
He'd spent this entire week looking for people who could cure Selina and putting his ideas to cure Selina into action.
However, it was of no use at all.
Was he really going to watch his only sister die at such a young age?
The thought of it wrenched Tobias's heart so hard that he felt as if he couldn't breathe.
After a moment, his eyes flashed with a cold gleam of light that could sharpen the dullest iron.
Caroline was dead.
If she wasn't dead, Tobias vowed that he would catch her and cut her into pieces.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
Tobias regained his senses.
It was Matthew on the phone.
Tobias hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.
"Tobias, why are you always spending time with Selina recently?" Matthew's tone was very relaxed, as if he was just chatting.
Matthew didn't put much thought into it as Selina and Tobias were siblings.
"Did the bodyguards tell you?" Tobias asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I am worried that things might happen to Selina, that's why I sent some bodyguards to follow her."
Tobias suddenly had an impulse to tell Matthew everything.
"Matthew," Tobias spoke.
"Yes?"
