The sun set like blood.
Selena stood amidst the ruins, staring at the city buried beneath the wasteland for a long time. Leia, standing behind her, gazed at the distant ruins nestled in a valley with tea-brown eyes that were tinged with shadows.
Neither Selena nor Osvaldo turned around. The atmosphere was so tense that no one was in a good mood. Therefore, no one noticed until they heard the sound of motorcycles.
Selena's eyebrows twitched as she turned her head and saw several green armored vehicles parked nearby. Patrick and his men stepped out of them.
As Selena looked at him after not seeing him for a year, she subconsciously wanted to call him "cousin." But then she remembered that Creephia's Selena had already gone home. So instead of saying what was on her mind, she said hesitantly, "... Mr. Turner."
Patrick paused for a moment as he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar girl across from him. There seemed to be something he wanted to say but ultimately didn't say anything about it.
He smiled lightly and said softly, "Father sent me to pick you up. Let's get on board."
Selena had lost her memory for an entire year while Oscar couldn't possibly wait that long. Half a year ago, Oscar brought Lab 717 here with him already.
Osvaldo helped Selena into the car, and Leia kept looking back towards the direction of the underground city until a soldier with a gun urged her to get into another car. Her face was pale and distracted as they drove away, and her gaze remained fixed on the blood-red sunset over the city.
The green car was spacious, so for safety's sake, Selena sat in the back seat with Osvaldo while Patrick sat next to her. After some time had passed, Patrick suddenly spoke up. "Before we came here, she asked me to tell you... I'm sorry. And thank you."
Selena was taken aback by his words, but Osvaldo immediately turned his sharp gaze towards him.
It didn't take long for Selena to realize that Patrick was referring to Creephia's Selena - someone who had never done anything wrong to her except for one thing: stealing Osvaldo from her.
Looking back now, it seemed impossible that Creephia's Selena could have liked him when she hadn't even met him before seeing them together. The only explanation must be...
Selena smiled faintly and said,"It's okay."
As for that "thank you" part - it must have been thanking her for saving Creephia's Selena's life.
But Callum had also saved her life before.
Osvaldo seemed to have guessed something and his deep gaze fell on Selena's face, waiting for an answer.
Selena held onto his arm and leaned on the man's shoulder. "It's Selena thanking us for saving her."
Osvaldo's tone was a bit cold. "Why does she need to say sorry to you?"
Only those who have hurt others need to apologize.
Creephia's Selena... did she hurt her?
Patrick's gaze followed suit and looked over as well.
He knew that both of these girls were very kind-hearted. Unless there was a special situation, they wouldn't start conflicts with each other.
What happened exactly?
Selena shook her head, hesitated for a moment, but still said it. "It has nothing to do with her... it was Stanley..."
Osvaldo instantly guessed the ins and outs of the matter, his eyes darkening as he lifted his hand to embrace Selena in his arms.
Patrick also instantly thought of what Stanley had said when he came to the Turner family a year ago.

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh
From the beginning of the story to page 148, the plot is just going in circles about fighting. So ridiculous and waste of time to read! I have no patience for these kind stories. Be more creative if you’re planning to write a book/story!!!...
Beautiful story...
