Selena recovered after resting for a while. That bit of wine was really nothing to her.
It was almost evening.
From the balcony, Selena could see a servant outside watering the garden while the other was picking vegetables.
The sun was setting.
The orange hue enveloped the entire villa and created such a tranquil and beautiful picture.
Usually, at this hour, the bar was starting to get lively.
Selena was not there, so she was worried about the bar.
However, since she agreed to Mitchell’s request, she could not just leave like this.
Selena looked back at the pale man on the bed speechlessly. His eyes were tightly closed, and he did not move at all.
This was the first time Selena saw him in such a vulnerable state.
She thought, ‘Hah! You said you never sleep in. Look how long you’ve been sleeping now!’
Selena pursed her lips and thought that Eric was really pitiful.
The Cantonese food that the servants made was decent. Selena was a picky eater, but she could not find any fault with the servant’s cooking.
After Selena finished eating, she brought the tray down.
After a while, Mitchell hurried over with some documents.
“Ms. Nelson, is Mr. Ferguson there? I have some contracts here that need his approval.”
Selena paused, then said with a smile, “Of course, he’s here.”
This was just an act for others to see.
The servants believed it.
They did not seem to mind that Eric did not go out all day.
Usually, Eric would leave the house early and return late, so the servants would rarely bump into him.
This time, Eric was building a relationship with Selena and had not gone out all day, so Mitchell would naturally have to send over any accumulated work.
Mitchell and Selena went upstairs. Mitchell looked at the person on the bed and sighed.
“He didn’t get better?”
Selena paused. “It’s only been a day. It’s good that he didn’t die. He didn’t develop a fever, so that should be good news.”
“That’s good. Today is the first day, so it must be hard for you, right?”
“It’s alright. The living conditions here are great, so I didn’t think it was hard at all. It’s just that I got a bit bored since there was no one to talk to. By the way, why isn’t Chance back yet?”
Selena felt that Chance could relieve her boredom.
Mitchell paused before he replied, “The young master has extra classes in the evening, so he won’t be back until after 9:00 pm. You don’t need to wait for him to have dinner because he’ll eat out.”
“Tsk tsk… How pitiful!”
Selena shook her head.
She felt tired even listening to Chance’s schedule, not to mention Chance himself.
“It’s not every day, just three times a week.”
Mitchell added.
The two of them only spoke for a while. Mitchell left when it was almost time and did not look as nervous as when he first arrived.
The servant was not suspicious at all.
Several days passed.
Selena had already adapted to her life here.
When she was bored, she would go downstairs and talk to the servants.
The servants would just think that Eric went to work during the day and came back late at night.
Only Selena and Chance knew that Eric was always in the room.
However, they were reassured because Eric’s wounds did not get infected.
Eric had a strong self-healing ability, and the medicine he used was effective, so his complexion was getting better day by day even though he was still unconscious.
Selena occasionally stayed in his bedroom and watched various movies and played games interchangeably.
It was only occasionally when she needed to cooperate with Mitchell to answer the phone for Eric that she would say something serious.
