Yesseca hurriedly nodded and got out of the car.
As soon as she got home, she slammed the door.
She sat on the sofa and gasped.
Selina's expression came to her mind again.
The panic, the confusion, and the pain.
She had never seen Selina like that.
She felt her heartbeat increasing.
After a moment, she stood up and returned to her bedroom. Her fingers trembled as she took out a photo from under her pillow. It was a photo of Lothar and her.
Seeing Lothar's bright smile in the photo, she felt her heart gradually calming down.
Staring at him, she mumbled, "Lothar, you are Selina's best friend, aren't you?"
"She treats you well, doesn't she?"
"She was the one who cured me and did a great favor for our family, isn't she?"
He did not respond.
He kept smiling at her.
Yesseca spoke again, "Lothar, I shouldn't doubt her, should I?"
Just as she just asked, she heard something.
"Human hearts are terrifying."
She was startled.
She looked around, but there was no one with her.
It was just her imagination.
"Human hearts are terrifying."
It was what Tremaine had said.
She used to think that he was a good guy, but she had found out that he wasn't.
If she hadn't seen the picture on his computer, she would never have believed that he would do such a thing.
But he did do it.
She couldn't believe it was Selina who had caused her brother's death, but the truth was...
Right then, she felt someone's hands clenching her heart. Her heart was convulsing. She didn't know anything anymore!
"Beep! Beep!"
Just then, her phone rang urgently.
Yesseca was frightened, and she was trembling.
Picking up her phone, she saw that it was Preslie who was calling her.
There were beads of sweat on her back.
It was like she had just come out from a strange, terrifying place inside her. Preslie's call brought her back to reality.
She answered the phone, "Hello."
"Yesseca, I can't sleep." After finishing this sentence, Preslie sighed, "I'm going to tell you a secret. I kissed a man in Nashaland."
Yesseca gave a perfunctory reply.
