Selena was startled, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes as she bit her lip with a slightly aggrieved expression. "Yes," she said.
If the Turner family's situation hadn't been exposed, she would have already gone home. She wouldn't have become the daughter of the Turner family.
Osvaldo's slender fingers gently slid over her eyes. "After the capital's affairs are over, I'll accompany you home."
Selena blinked.
Osvaldo had long known the truth, so Selena was not surprised by his words. Except for not telling Osvaldo her true identity, he knew almost everything he should know.
And since she had accepted his proposal, she naturally wouldn't leave him.
Thinking about the opponents she would face after she went back, a faint sharpness flashed in Selena's eyes. But she still had a sweet smile on her face as she touched Osvaldo's face. "Okay."
No matter what she would encounter in the future, she would definitely protect him well!
Osvaldo got the promise he most wanted to hear and smiled tenderly.
The clock on the wall sounded the hour, and Osvaldo picked Selena up and sent her back to her room.
...
After the news of the Baxter family came out, Selena also hastened her steps. She returned to the Turner family the next morning.
Oscar had already woken up, probably knowing that she would come home today. Patrick had also not gone to medical school, and the father and son were waiting for her in the hall.
When Selena entered, Patrick smiled and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Selena had already eaten, but seeing the spacious hall with only the father and son waiting for her to have a meal together, she changed her words at the last moment. "Not yet."
The butler immediately said, "Then miss, please sit down. I'll have the kitchen serve the food right away."
Selena washed her hands and sat down at the table, carefully observing Oscar's expression.
Although the surgery was for saving a person, it would still damage the person's vitality. Oscar's face was paler than before, but his spirit seemed to have improved a lot.
Selena took the initiative to ask, "Uncle, is there anything uncomfortable?"
Oscar smiled faintly, "Much better than before."
Selena was relieved. After having breakfast with the father and son, Selena sat on the sofa and talked to them about the matter at hand.
"Three days later, Diego will step down as the dean of the research institute, and he will recommend someone from the Turner family to take his place..." Selena paused here, then continued to ask, "Do you have any recommended candidates?"
There are only two people left in the direct bloodline of the Turner family. Neither Oscar nor Patrick have any professional connection to the research institute. It's too difficult to find someone from the Turner family who has both reputation and strength to hold the position of the dean and suppress many protests.
Oscar shook his head. Patrick looked at Selena, seeming to want to say something, but didn't.
