The car was parked not far away.
Selena took the initiative to open the car door and even used her hand to block the car frame to ensure that Eric would not hit it by accident when he got into the car.
Then, Selena went to the other side and got in the car quickly. The driver left without asking questions and sped away.
Eric did not let go of his hand, and Selena did not say a word.
She was worried and scared.
Selena was not afraid that she would get entangled with him again. She was afraid that she had destroyed such an outstanding person.
How could such a proud and indifferent man be ruined by her?
Selena loathed herself for her carelessness.
She went too far and did not pay attention to his safety at all.
Now that this happened, Selena was frustrated and regretful.
Eric probably felt her trembling, so he reached out his hand and pinched Selena’s arm. His voice was hoarse but restrained.
“Are you nervous? Don’t be scared. Luckily, you’re not the one who is injured. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the pain. Don’t worry. I won’t blame you or hold you responsible.”
His words silenced her for a moment.
It seemed to have punctured her worried thoughts.
It was embarrassing.
Looking at it now, Selena thought that she was extremely childish and ridiculous.
She should not be afraid of these things.
How could Eric think so thoroughly?
Selena choked up, but she did not want him to hear it.
“I’m sorry…”
Eric pursed his lips and did not speak.
The driver knew the seriousness of the matter and ran through two red lights along the way without hesitation. He went straight to the emergency room of the hospital.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital, but Mitchell was not there yet.
Thus, Selena handled the formalities.
She panicked, but she managed to calm herself down.
Selena had not been so anxious since she went abroad to flee from Derek Norton.
In the first few years, Derek Norton was constantly abusing her. Sometimes, when she heard his footsteps, she would habitually tremble in fear.
Escaping was her last act of courage.
Selena managed to escape from that marriage.
At this moment, that fear flooded into her heart again and spread to all corners of her body.
She almost lost all her strength, but she had to drag her numb body to complete the procedures as required.
After she finished everything, she sat upright by the door of the emergency room and waited.
Time had never felt so long.
During this time, Selena ran through all her past experiences, from her divorce to the present.
Eric had been supporting her and pushing her forward.
He was the most important person in her life.
However, she still decided to give up on him.
Did she regret it?
No.
But if she had to do it all over again, she probably could not bear to give up on Eric.
Selena thought that she deserved to die for dumping him and hurting him like this.
If Eric beat her, scolded her, and taunted her, she would not have felt so bad.
However, Eric taught her to play golf and even went to pick up the ball for her.
The kind of guilt that was brewing in her heart was indescribable.
It felt as if she was repaying his kindness with revenge.
Selena’s eyes burned. She felt that she had gone too far.
If Eric really could not keep his eyeballs, what could she do to make it up to him?
Soon, Mitchell rushed over.
“Ms. Nelson, how is it?”
Selena sniffled and shook her head.
“He’s still inside.”
“What happened? Mr. Ferguson has always been great at golfing.”
Selena lowered her head in shame.
Then, she told him everything that happened.
Mitchell was speechless.
