Patrick watched as Oscar pushed his wheelchair and turned away, unable to suppress the question in his heart anymore, "Father, do you... not like Selena?"
Although Oscar never showed any actions against Selena, Patrick still keenly perceived the strange gap between his father and his cousin.
In theory, Selena was Callum's daughter and Oscar's own niece. According to the Turner family's doting on their daughters, Oscar could not dislike her.
Moreover, Selena was so well-behaved and beautiful that except for those who had evil intentions, few people would dislike her.
Although Oscar didn't deliberately target her, he didn't show much affection towards Selena either.
There was no special emotion on Oscar's face as he looked at Patrick and asked, "Do you really like her?"
Patrick nodded without hesitation, "Yes, Father, you don't know what Selena has done for the Turner family."
"With her abilities, she could have avoided these grievances and humiliations, but she still endured them several times in order for the Turner family to return to the research institute."
"She cured the virus on my body, sincerely for the good of the Turner family."
"Why are you... so cold to her?"
Even when asked directly like this, there was still no extra emotion in Oscar's eyes. He said calmly, "Have you ever thought about why she is so good to the Turner family?"
Patrick was taken aback.
Selena was a member of the Turner family. It was only natural that she should be good to them, right?
But a question popped up in his mind.
Selena didn't grow up in the Turner family since childhood. Instead, she suffered because of the Turner family.
However, from the moment she returned to the capital, she had no resentment towards the Turner family, and instead worked hard and obediently, making people feel sorry for her.
Patrick suppressed his doubts and said firmly, "Selena is the daughter of Callum and Lady Nevaeh. She is kind-hearted by nature and naturally good to her own relatives."
Oscar looked into his son's eyes.
Father and son stared at each other.
After a long time, Oscar was the first to look away, turning his wheelchair and heading upstairs. He said in a low voice, "I don't dislike her."
"But you..."
Oscar coughed lightly, "There are many things that you don't need to know yet."
"I don't want to know why you are not good to Selena, I just know that she has suffered a lot but still treats the Turner family so well..."
Oscar's hand paused, and the wheelchair also stopped in place. He lowered his eyelashes, concealing the emotions in his eyes. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "I understand."
After speaking, Oscar returned to his room.
Patrick watched the door close in front of him, and his expression seemed to freeze over.
The butler watched the father and son play dumb riddles until this moment, then spoke up and advised, "Young master, I know you care about Miss Selena, but your father must have his own reasons."
"If he really doesn't like someone, he will never tolerate that person staying in the Turner family."
Patrick took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
He knew he shouldn't have talked about that.
Although Oscar was indifferent to Selena, he didn't ignore her.
When the news of Selena's arrest came, he went to Zone Two to take her out for the first time.
As an elder of the Turner family, he had done enough.
