Selena had not had breakfast yet!
Mitchell did not say much and asked her to get in the car.
“Ms. Nelson, you can have breakfast at the villa and get the servants to make whatever you want to eat.”
Selena paused. “Mr. Crawford, you know about my relationship with Eric. Does he know that I’m going? He won’t think that I’m being delusional again, right?”
She did not want to be accused of having a deep affection for Eric and looking for any opportunity to get close to him again.
It was really insulting!
Mitchell pursed his lips and had a complicated expression.
“I’m sorry to trouble you, but I really can’t find a more suitable person to help out on such short notice.”
The women around Eric were few enough that Mitchell could count them with his fingers.
Mitchell also could not get a man to stay with Eric because it would be strange.
“I don’t understand.”
Selena shook her head.
She was really dumbfounded.
Mitchell took a deep breath.
"Actually, Mr. Ferguson isn’t sick. He’s injured. This matter is of great importance, so we can’t expose his situation. Otherwise, if a competitor caught wind of this and turned it against us, it would affect the operation of the entire company. We can’t even trust the servants at home. The fewer people who know about this, the better. So, you just need to stay there and don’t need to do much. All you have to do is take good care of Mr. Ferguson and keep this secret until he wakes up.”
Selena did not speak for a long time.
There was a long silence.
“Injured? What do you mean? He’s not awake?”
“Yes, it’s very serious. He has been in a coma since.”
“When did this happen? We just had dinner together a few days ago…”
Selena was a little shocked.
Her heart kept sinking.
For some reason, her heart clenched, and she felt uncomfortable.
Mitchell paused.
“Last night. We went to a neighboring city to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of a project. After it ended, we got into a car accident. Mr. Ferguson had a stomach ache from drinking too much, so he stayed in the car. The bodyguard and I went down to check out the car, but someone snuck inside when we weren’t paying attention and stabbed Mr. Ferguson in the chest.”
Mitchell briefly told Selena what happened without going into the gory details, but Selena was still shocked.
Stabbed in the chest…
Still in a coma...
It was not difficult to imagine how horrifying that scene was.
Suddenly, Selena thought about how she mocked Eric for only working and making money when she was at Ferguson Corporation. At that time, she thought it was easy for him to make money and that regular people would never make that kind of money in a few lifetimes.
Thinking about it now, Selena thought that Eric did not have it easy either.
After all, she did not need to risk her life in exchange for money.
On the contrary, Eric still had to face constant danger.
His success was not as easy as it seemed on the surface!
Selena’s heart was heavy. Somehow, she felt sorry for Eric.
Seeing that Selena was silent, Mitchell comforted her.
“Ms. Nelson, don’t worry. Mr. Ferguson has experienced all kinds of dangers before. He will be fine.”
Selena subconsciously retorted.
“I’m not worried about him. I’m just lamenting how fragile life is. An accident could happen anytime.”
Mitchell thought, ‘Oh, she’s just thinking about life?’
He pursed his lips and was not in the mood to continue talking.
When they arrived at the villa, Mitchell led her out of the car.
The two servants at home were working as usual.
When Mitchell brought a woman over, they asked, “Mr. Crawford, this is…”
Mitchell paused. Just as he was about to say something, Chance happened to come down from upstairs, and trotted over happily.
“Auntie, you’re here! Daddy and I miss you so much…”
The two servants looked at each other.
Chance walked over to hug her and looked at the two servants.
“This is my friend. You guys have to take good care of her.”
The servant quickly nodded.
Mitchell smiled. “From now on, you guys can just treat Ms. Nelson as your lady boss!”
The servants subconsciously took another look at Selena.
