She couldn't believe her ears.
Essie, on the other hand, looked very serious. She didn't look like she was joking at all.
"Enough with the nonsense!" Yesseca shouted.
"It isn't nonsense." Essie stared at Yesseca as though she was looking through her. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Selina if she killed your brother. You just need to ask her how your brother died."
"Ha! Ha! Ha!"
She was still in the restaurant, but Yesseca could feel strong gusts of wind raging against her ears.
The strong wind made it hard for her to think.
She was flustered.
It felt like she was running through a forest while being chased by a wild beast. That beast was Essie.
Yesseca couldn't bear listening to Essie any longer.
She yelled, feeling panicked, "I'm leaving. I'm sick of listening to you,"
After that, Yesseca rushed away.
"Yesseca, go and ask Selina about it. Ask her to tell you in detail, ask her how your brother died." Essie still shouted after her.
Yesseca ran back to her hotel.
This was even more embarrassing than the last time.
Fortunately, when she got back into her hotel room, Preslie didn't notice how peculiar she looked, because she hadn't had dinner for several days in a row now. She was so hungry that she was having trouble taking care of herself and didn't have time to worry about Yesseca.
When Yesseca reached her room, she collapsed on her bed.
Preslie was also lying down on her own bed.
Preslie muttered out weakly, "Yesseca I'm starving to death. I need to sleep. I can't talk to you tonight. I need to sleep so I can stop feeling hungry,"
Yesseca didn't reply.
Preslie wasn't bothered to wait for Yesseca's reply.
She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Yesseca buried herself under her blankets.
Everything Essie said to her was still bouncing around in her head.
She didn't believe anything Essie had told her before.
However, this time, Essie had told her something shocking.
Essie had told her that Selina was about to die and she had taken Lothar's life to save her own.
Essie told her to ask Selina about it.
Two hours later, Yesseca managed to calm down.
Essie had to be lying to her, she had to.
Selina was never sick, let alone at the brink of death.
Even if she was, she wouldn't take Lothar's life to save her own!
That was impossible!
This sounded like the plot of some fantasy story. Why was she worrying over such a ridiculous story?
On the other hand, if it really was so ridiculous, why was Essie so adamant for her to ask Selina about it?
If all of this was fake, why did Essie insist that she get answers from Selina?
Yesseca just couldn't figure it out.
Her head began to hurt.
Yesseca figured that she should get some sleep.
Maybe all of this will disappear when she wakes up again.
All of her pain and doubts would be gone.
She closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.
