Matthew's heart ached when he saw how disturbed Selina was in her sleep.
He wiped off the sweat beading on Selina's forehead and soothed her, "Shh, don't be afraid, Selina. I'm here," Selina saw Matthew as she opened her eyes.
She sat up in an abrupt motion and slipped into Matthew's arms.
Matthew hugged Selina. "It's all my fault." If he had been careful, such a thing would not have happened.
Selina didn't say anything as her eyes turned red.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Matthew asked softly.
Selina nodded.
"Don't be afraid. It's just a dream. It's all over now," Matthew said.
Selina's gaze wavered.
After a while, she lifted her head and looked at Matthew with a much clearer gaze. "Matthew, telleverything you've found out." Matthew did not try to hide anything from her. "My men went to the US to bring Caroline back, but her father wanted to save her and the gun her father was holding misfired. Her dad died on the spot. It's probably because of that that she has taken such an extrstep today." Selina's breath was caught in her chest.
No wonder Caroline was so determined to fight till the end. Selina saw the malice in her eyes. Caroline probably thought that it was Selina who sent the men to the US.
Matthew stared at Selina. "I know that you are feeling sad right now, but it has nothing to do with you. Regardless of whether it's Caroline's father's death or her death, it has nothing to do with you. Don't think too much about it." Selina didn't say anything but pursed her lips tightly.

Matthew hesitated for a moment. "Caroline and Saoirse have been in touch before this, and she also made use of Brennan as well." "I know." Selina immediately added, "This matter has nothing to do with Brennan," Brennan must have been deceived by Caroline. If not, he wouldn't have risked his own life to save her. "That's good," Matthew said.
"Other than Brennan and Saoirse, is there anyone else who worked with Caroline before?" Selina immediately asked.
"There's another person." A look of doubt flashed across Matthew's eyes. "My men found out that when Caroline was in Agaphen City with Reid, Caroline was also in contact with another woman. However, you may not know who she is." "Who is she?" Selina raised her voice.
Matthew looked at her in surprise.
Selina's reaction was a little uncalled for.
However, he didn't think too much about it. He figured that Selina was probably affected by the whole ordeal with Caroline.
He spoke in a softer voice, "It's a woman named Nadia Lanes. She's from the Witch Clan who cto Agaphen City for a living. I think there shouldn't be much contact between them but I don't know why Caroline left Reid's villa several times to look for her," A buzzing sound plagued Selina's mind and countless crackers exploded in her ears.
Nadia, from the Witch Clan.
She felt dizzy.
Matthew hugged her. "Don't think too much. Leave everything to me." Selina parted her lips and every word seemed to have been squeezed out of her teeth, "Go and find Nadia. Let's see if you can find her," "I've already sent people to look for her." Of course, there was no need for Selina to tell Matthew about this. Selina's eyes blinked rapidly.
"You must find her," Selina cried hoarsely.
As long as Matthew found Nadia, it meant that Caroline was lying.
Twenty minutes later, Matthew received a call.
He didn't look too well after answering the phone.
He told Selina that Nadia was dead.
Selina's legs turned into jelly and she fell to her knees.
Matthew immediately propped her up.
He figured that Selina was still in shock about Caroline's death and couldn't handle news about anyone else's death.
"Selina, let's head down for dinner. I settle the rest of the matter. You don't have to worry about anything." Matthew regretted letting Selina know about Nadia's death.
He thought that Nadia was just a stranger to Selina, but he didn't expect that Selina would have such a big reaction.
"I won't go downstairs to eat. Tell me, how did Nadia die?" Selina gasped.
Matthew fell silent.
He didn't want to talk about death with Selina's current unstable mood.
However, Selina wouldn't let Matthew go. She asked desperately again and again until she almost burst into tears.
After being questioned relentlessly by Selina, Matthew caved in.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Nadia was killed by someone and that person might be Caroline. The bullets in her body are the sas those in Caroline's gun, but we can't figure out why Caroline wanted to kill Nadia." Selina's world was spinning.
At first, she only believed part of what Caroline said, but now almost everything that Caroline said was true. Selina could only take the whole story as truth. "Let's go down and eat first." Matthew noticed Selina's expression and realized that something was wrong.
Selina's gaze fell upon Matthew's face. She stared at him for a long tbefore finally nodding.
Selina and Matthew headed down for dinner. Selina was distracted throughout the whole meaĽ A few times, she even froze in a daze with her cutleries in midair. Both Natalie and Tobias noticed that something was wrong. After dinner, Tobias pulled Matthew aside.
Matthew told him everything.
Tobias frowned. "How can such a thing happen?"
"I didn't expect it either." Matthew's tone was low. "I didn't take care of Selina well enough. I should have been prepared." Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?
Tobias knew that Matthew probably blamed himself and sighed heavily. "Matthew, she was Selina's friend, thus Selina must sti bemore or less in shock. Take good care of her for the tbeing and also..." Tobias's eyes glimmered. "I'm afraid that something bad may happen, so send your bodyguards to protect Selina at all times." Matthew had already thought of everything that Tobias mentioned.
"I have arranged for the bodyguards to protect her. Nothing bad will happen to Selina in the future." Selina and Matthew went back to the Perry's family hat night.
Selina still looked terrible and out of her mind. Matthew figured it was because of Caroline's death. Upon reaching the Perry family's home, Ludwik could tell that something wasn't right.
Just as he was about to ask, he met Matthew's gaze.
Ludwik immediately shut his mouth.
Matthew brought Selina upstairs to the bedroom and said, "Have a good rest," Although she had slept for a long tback in the Whitlock family's home, she still needed srest.
Selina nodded.
Matthew stayed next to Selina until she fell asleep.
When he noticed that Selina's breathing was more evened out and relaxed, Matthew spoke softly, "Selina," X
