Selina was taken aback.
She asked in astonishment, "Why?"
Matthew looked at her but said nothing.
But Selina could see through him.
It was probably regarding Yesseca.
Because that day, Yesseca was going to get married.
Kylin was here.
He told Yesseca that he was going back to the United States tonight.
He wanted to transport his father's body back there.
Since Efren's body had been destroyed beyond recognition by the bomb, he had to be cremated at Agaphen City before leaving for the States.
Because of her husband's death, Marleigh was slowly losing her mind to profound grief.
They had come to celebrate their son's wedding, but it had spiraled into a tragedy.
Not only did Kylin have to claim his father's body, he had to take care of his mother as well.
Before leaving, he came to bid farewell to Selina and ask her to continue searching for Yesseca.
"Selina, drop me a word as soon as you track down Yesseca's whereabouts." Kyi in could not conceal the agony in his tone. "I will come back once I have settled everything with my parents in the States."
Looking at Kyi in, Selina felt depressed.
She said, "Don't worry, Kylin. I will tell you once I find Yesseca. You should..."
Selina could not continue, her eyes bloodshot.
Kylin was in no mood to continue speaking either.
Overwhelmed by sadness, he had no strength to say anything further.
Kylin left.
Selina was alone at home.
Matthew went out to look for Yesseca and the others.
When Matthew went out, he'd specifically reminded Selina to stay home and rest.
But rest she could never.
After staying at home for two hours, Selina instructed her driver to send her somewhere.
Lothar's grave.
In front of his grave, Selina looked at his photograph for a few moments before saying, "Lothar, you're blaming me, aren't you? About what happened to Yesseca's wedding. It's all my fault, I did not take care of it properly..."
Selina felt that everything was on her.
If she hadn't been in a hurry to have Yesseca married off, perhaps she could have made foolproof preparations. If so, this tragedy would not have happened.
"Lothar, if you blame me, then punish me. Tell the heavens not to punish Yesseca just because of my mistake. Can you help me find her? Lothar, can you help me find her..."
Lothar's photograph was on his grave.
He was staring at Selina from it.
But the picture could not give her any response.
After a long time, she murmured, "I will find Yesseca, I must find her."
At night, Matthew came back.
He told Selina that he was still unable to find Yesseca.
Selina was beside herself.
She glared at Matthew. "Why couldn't you find her after such a long time? Are you even trying?"
"Selina, calm down."
She could not be calm.
She was going to the Whitlock family home.
Now that Matthew couldn't find her, she would ask Tobias to try.
