Rebirth To Be The Revenge Queen novel Chapter 1440

Chapter 1440 Do you really not want to see me like this?

Selena remained silent.

Black Crow sneered, "What a disappointment."

Selena rubbed her forehead with her slender fingers and asked, "Is he in danger?"

She hadn't forgotten that Osvaldo had been shot after she passed out.

"He's not hurt too badly, so he won't die," Black Crow replied.

Selena's fingers froze, and her dark eyes stared out of the window at the garden for a long time without saying a word.

After waiting for a while and not hearing the sound of the call being hung up, Black Crow added, "The medicine is quite special, so I need to study it a bit more. I'll give you an answer in a while."

Selena lowered her eyelids and said before hanging up, "Make sure he's okay."

After hanging up, Selena sat in the quiet room with her legs hugged to her chest, staring blankly at the green plants outside the window.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was gently pushed open from the outside.

Leia walked in and crouched behind Selena. She twisted her skirt nervously and whispered, "Madam Selena..."

Selena turned her head and smiled at the young girl. "It's okay."

Leia didn't show up last night during the incident, which was unusual. She didn't have time to think about it at the time, but it was clear now that something must have happened to the girl.

Leia crouched in front of Selena and said, tears welling up in her eyes, "Madam Selena, it's all my fault. If I hadn't brought that drink to the young master and told him that you made it, he wouldn't have been tricked..."

Given Osvaldo's character, even if he had suspected that the drink was tainted, adding the fact that Selena had made it for him would be enough to make him take the risk.

How could he miss the chance to try something his wife had made for him?

Even if there was only a one percent chance of it being true, he wouldn't easily let it go.

Selena looked at Leia's self-blaming expression, blinked, and reached out to pat her hair. "What happened last night was not just your fault. It was my fault too, and Osvaldo's fault too..."

It couldn't just be blamed on one person.

Leia had made a mistake, but Selena had also lost her cool completely.

If she had even half of her usual rationality, she wouldn't have lost control to that extent.

Is it because... she cares too much about that man?

At the mere thought of him possibly getting into trouble, belonging to another woman, or losing him... all her calm and rationality disappear.

Leia looked at Selena's misty eyes and her nose felt sour. She took out the surveillance footage she had been holding in her hand and said, "Madam Selena, you have to believe the young master, he really didn't do anything wrong to you."

"The young master has experienced countless dangers since he was young. Even if he is unconscious, he would not allow strangers to approach him."

This is an instinct honed in countless life-threatening situations.

If Osvaldo were really that easy to be taken advantage of, he wouldn't have survived until today.

Selena's gaze fell on the surveillance footage, but she didn't move.

Leia looked at Selena's pale brows and eyes, and sniffled.

The Selena she knew was always beautiful, confident, dignified and powerful. It was the first time she had seen her look so pale and weak.

The young master must regret and feel distressed when he sees this...

Leia placed the surveillance footage on the table and looked at the untouched porridge on the table, worrying, "Madam Selena, don't you want to eat this? I'll go find the chef and have him make it again..."

Selena smiled and touched her hair, "No, I just got injured last night and my body hasn't fully recovered yet, but I'll be fine soon."

After Selena finished speaking, she picked up the spoon on the table and lowered her head to drink the porridge.
