Chapter 1087 No Interruptions With a slight smile, Selena said, "Please quiet down and listen to me." Instantly, everyone fell silent and looked up at the beautiful and stunning girl on the stage with eager and admiring eyes.
She was the most dazzling star in the medical and scientific research fields of H Country.
She was still so young, and given time, her achievements were sure to be noticed by the world.
When it cto someone like her, any level of respect was appropriate.
Selena looked at everyone with a smile and spoke gently-- Leon saw this scene and let out a deep breath.
The door of the room behind him was pushed open, and a doctor walked out with a serious expression. "Miss Riddle, Hattie's condition is very bad. If we continue to delay, I'm afraid..." Leon's eyes darkened.
He glanced at Selena standing on the stage.
Due to Selena's popularity and the hype surrounding "Breaking Ground," the number of viewers watching the live stream was a terrifying figure.
Everyone knew of Selena's excellence.
And next, this woman would undoubtedly publicly seek justice for Selena, her father, and mother, in front of the world.
If he interrupted her now and called her back... all her efforts would be in vain.
But Hattie was his sister...

Inside the Turner family mansion.
Patrick was also watching the live stream.
The Turner family's servants looked at their young miss, who had such an impressive appearance, and their expressions overflowed with joy.
Selena's excellence was the excellence of the Turner family.
Every move Selena made represented the glory of the Turner family.
But since the Turner family was massacred twenty years ago, they had not been able to enjoy this glory.
They had been waiting for this moment for too long! Everyone's eyes were filled with emotion, and their expressions were filled with excitement and anticipation.
Only Patrick, who stood at the front, did not look happy.
Everyone saw how important Hattie was to Selena.
That little girl seemed to mean more to Selena than just a younger sister.
After all, Leon was Selena's blood relative, but Selena had never treated him as well as she did Hattie.
It could be said that Selena had given all her tenderness to Hattie.
Her dedication to Hattie even surpassed that of Osvaldo.
If something happened to Hattie... they would have a hard texplaining it to her.
But the Turner family had been hoping for this opportunity for so many years, and if they failed now, it would not be easy to uncover the truth about Lady Nevaeh's death and bring justice for the loneliness and pain Selena had endured over the past decade.
Anxiety washed over Patrick's face as he pondered for a long time.
He slowly lowered his eyelids and picked up his phone from the table.
Jason, standing behind him, was startled, "Young master!" Patrick let out a suppressed sigh, "We can always find another opportunity, but Selena would be sad if Miss Riddle really got into trouble." There was nothing more important than a living person.
Jason wanted to object, but he ultimately didn't say anything after seeing Patrick's cold expression.
Just as Patrick was about to make a call, a caller ID suddenly appeared on the screen of his phone.
Patrick looked at the number and his heart sank. He pressed the answer button.
Leon's cold voice cthrough the speaker, "I'm sorry!" Hattie was his sister.
He couldn't bear to watch her suffer like this.
Patrick understood his meaning instantly. He turned his gaze to Selena's cool and beautiful face on the platform and said in a low voice, "If you want to make a call, go ahead!" Leon looked at the hung-up phone and felt an indescribable chill and irritability.
His slender fingertips lingered on Selena's phone number for a long tbefore slowly darkening.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as Leon's fingers were about to fall on Selena's phone, a faint sound of a door opening suddenly cfrom the quiet space.
Leon and the medical maid present immediately turned their gaze to the source.
When they saw the person walking out from inside, their eyes widened in shock.
The maid covered her mouth, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
The doctor exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Hattie, what happened to you?" Leon's face becextremely pale. He quickly walked over and hugged Hattie, saying softly, "It's okay, brother is here." Hattie seemed to have woken up, yet also seemed not to have woken up.
Her beautiful face showed no signs of life, and tears rolled down her bloodshot, empty eyes one after another.
She muttered something to herself, but her voice was too soft for Leon to hear clearly. He leaned in closer and asked, "Hattie, what did you say..." Hattie whispered, "Don't call..." Leon was taken aback. Suddenly, Hattie snatched his phone away from him and held it tightly to her chest. Barefoot and with hollow eyes, she turned and walked back into the room.
The three adults were speechless, seeing the little girl as lifeless as if she had lost her soul.
Hattie obediently walked back to the bed and curled up her small body tightly once again. It seemed like she had only woken up this tto prevent Leon from making that phone call.
Watching her trembling figure, Leon closed his eyes.
The doctor expressed concern, "Mr. Riddle..." Leon looked out at the garden for a long tbefore asking, "If she comes back late, will Hattie die?" The maid was horrified. The doctor looked at Leon in shock, and silence fell over the room.
After a while, the doctor spoke softly, "The reason we called Lady Selena back is that every tMiss Hattie falls ill, Lady Selena can help her recover from her mental illness. After Mrs. Riddle passed away, Lady Selena becMiss Hattie's most trusted and relied upon person, as well as her spiritual support. In this situation, if Lady Selena can stay with Miss Hattie, her suffering will be greatly reduced. If this situation is allowed to continue, Hattie may not be able to bear the pain and may self-harm or completely collapse, but..." The doctor looked at Hattie's still figure and took a deep breath. "The fact that she woke up on her own means that the situation has improved a lot. As long as she can hold on and wait for Lady Selena to cback, there shouldn't be any danger to her life." The doctor left a sentence unsaid. Selena was Hattie's spiritual support. While Hattie relied on Selena, she also worried about her.
As long as Selena didn't cback, Hattie should be able to maintain her sanity and not completely collapse.
Leon remained silent for a long tbefore whispering...
