Selina felt very, very cold.
It was like it had just snowed and was freezing.
Looking at Caroline, her eyes seemed to have moistened as she said, "Caroline, it's not what you think. Let me explain to you. I'm married to Matthew because of him."
"You don't have to say anything more!" Caroline cut Selina off. "Not a single word more because I'll never believe it!"
After that, Caroline suddenly picked up the cup of coffee and splashed it on Selina's face.
The coffee trickled down Selina's hair to her face and then to her body.
Selina's eyes were completely filled with astonishment.
Caroline then placed down the cup and looked at Selina coldly before she left.
A moment later, a waiter came over.
"Miss, do you need my help to get cleaned up and changed?" The waiter asked worriedly.
Selina shook his head and replied, "It's ok."
She then walked out of the cafe awkwardly.
Her face was still wet with coffee and her clothes were sticky and damp.
Walking out of the cafe, Selina received stares from others but it was as if she had not noticed anything. She continued walking.
She didn't know where she was going, so she just continued walking on like a robot and aimlessly, until a car suddenly pulled up beside her.
As the car door opened, a man got down and grabbed hold of a dispirited Selina.
"Selina." The man's voice sounded almost angry. "What the hell are you doing?"
Selina looked up to catch a glimpse of the person who was grabbing hold of her.
"Oh it's you," she murmured.
It was Dylan who had grabbed hold of her. Normally, she would be emotional upon seeing Dylan, but not at all this time.
She was dazed and her thoughts seemed to be drifting.
"How did you end up like this?" Dylan stared into Selina's eyes.
Selina's lips quivered, she said "Like this? Like what?"
Dylan furrowed his brow.
A moment later, he pulled Selina into the car and told her, "Let's get you washed up."
Selina didn't object.
Or perhaps at that moment, she was not in the mood for any objection.
At that moment, she seemed to have become a dead person walking... soulless and thoughtless.
Dylan parked his car at a hotel.
He almost had to support Selina all the way into the hotel.
Selina was still in a stupefied state.
After booking a room, Dylan gave a stack of money to the hotel staff for them to bring a set of clean clothes.
After entering the room, Dylan turned on the shower and adjusted the water temperature.
"Go in and wash up. Someone will bring you some clean clothes later."
Selina walked into the bathroom absent-mindedly. She came back to her senses the moment the hot water from the shower hit her face.
What was she doing?
Just as she was about to come out, she discovered that her clothes were all wet. Then all of a sudden, a woman's voice came from outside, "Miss, could you please open the door. I'm here to bring you some clothes."
Selina opened the door slightly, there was indeed a pair of female hands which handed her a set of clothes.
"Thank you," Selina murmured.
She then took a shower and changed into her clothes.
The clothes were brand new, but fitted her well surprisingly.
After getting changed, Selina walked out to see Dylan sitting outside.
He stood up when he saw Selina.
