Lothar had already made up his mind.
He did not hesitate for even a single moment. "Do what you like, I still won't betray Selina." "Terrific, you'd better wait and see." After finishing his words, Reid directly hung up the phone.
Holding the phone, Lothar's fingers trembled.
After a moment, Lothar put his phone back in his pocket.
It was nothing big, at most he would just get his head chopped off, or just directly get killed.
Both himself and Yesseca owed Selina a big favor, and he would never stab Selina in the back. After calming himself down, Lothar went upstairs.
Yesseca opened the door for Lothar.
Lothar held the box in his hand high up and said, "Yesseca, look what I bought for you." Yesseca's eyes immediately lit up when she saw the take out box. "Pickled mangoes! My favorite!" Lothar had a smile on his face. "Yes it is." "Lothar, I cooked sfood as well, let's eat everything together." "All right." Yesseca went to set up the table.
Lothar was still in a daze.
What was coming would come.
He had thought that he could escape.
He had thought that Reid would forget and never call him again.
Little did he expect that he would receive a phone call from Reid on this day.
He knew that Reid's threat during the call was definitely not a false one.
He had heard sthings about Reid, and he too knew Reid's means of doing things.
Reid would surely find a way to deal with Lothar, and he might even take his life.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLothar thought that it was high tto gird his loins.
If he lost his life, what would happen to Yesseca then? Could she take good care of herself and live a good life? Lothar cast a glance at Yesseca.
Yesseca was there, serving the dishes at the dining table.
He thought that she probably could. After all, Yesseca wasn't ill now that she had had her surgery done, and she could stand on her two feet now.
He also believed that if he was really gone, Selina would probably help Yesseca out a little, and Yesseca wouldn't live too much of a difficult life. Lothar felt at ease.
One had to pay the price for doing wrong things. He had accepted Reid's offer that tbecause of Yesseca. Now that Yesseca was all cured, it was tfor him to clear the overdue payment of his sin.
"Lothar, cand eat." Yesseca smiled at Lothar.
"Okay, let's eat." Lothar took his seat.
"Try out the dishes I've prepared." Yesseca put sfood onto Lothar's plate.
Lothar took a bite of it. "This is delicious." Yesseca smiled brightly.
She was a very optimistic person. After finding out about Lothar's actual situation, she had been quite depressed for a while, but very soon she was all fine again.
A day would still pass, be it a happy day or not. Why not choose to make every single day a happy one then? Yesseca knew very well that being sorrowful was nothing but useless.
She also believed that as long as she tried hard, there would surely be better days to come.
"Yesseca, I have something to talk to you about." Lothar suddenly spoke.
"I have something to tell you as well." "Then go ahead." "No, you go ahead first." Lothar cleared his throat and said, "Yesseca, I don't think that it's a good idea for you to be cooped up at hfor the whole day. It would be better if you find a job." He could support Yesseca for a lifetime, but now that Reid was threatening to take his life, woe might betide him at any minute. Yesseca must have a job for a stable source of income. Yesseca's lips curled up. "Lothar, it's exactly what I have in mind. I was thinking so as well, and I was going to tell you that I am planning to look for a job." Lothar felt much more relaxed. "Now, isn't that good." The two of them continued on eating.
After finishing his food, Lothar waved his hand at Yesseca. "C'mere, Yesseca." Yesseca walked towards him.
Lothar patted Yesseca's head and said, "Yesseca, you've grown up so much in the blink of an eye. I feel like I can finally face Mom now." Yesseca's heart ached when she heard Lothar mention their mother.
"My brother, we finally got through it. Mom will surely be happy for us up in the heavens." Lothar was deeply touched.
Back then, his mother had committed suicide by jumping off a building, and he and Yesseca could only rely on each other. Only he himself would understand how hard it had all been.
Just when he thought that his life with Yesseca was finally getting on the right track, Reid had smashed all his fantasies.
Lothar looked at Yesseca in a serious manner. "Yesseca, promise me, if one day I'm no longer around, you must take good care of yourself." Yesseca obviously didn't take Lothar's words to heart.
She just said with a smile, "Hey, what are you talking about? You will surely stay by my side forever." Lothar could only force a smile.
Would he really be able to, for ever? He was afraid that he could no longer continue walking the path of life with Yesseca.
He had a strong premonition about it.
Reid was a man who would seek revenge for even the smallest of matters. If on a whim, he pulled out from helping Reid, Reid would surely make him pay a huge price for it. Saoirse arrived at the hospital.
Selina was feeding Matthew at that moment.
Matthew could have eaten on his own, but Selina insisted on feeding him, and Matthew could only compromise in the end.
While Selina was feeding him, he would look up at her after every single bite.
He was watching her in that way that caused blood to rise to her face.
Soon a romantic atmosphere hung over the ward.
"Selina." Matthew suddenly said in a low voice, "Were you really worried aboutfor the past few days?" Selina nodded. "Very much so." "Sorry for making you worry about me." "It's nothing, as long as you are fine." She took another spoonful of food and brought it to the front of Matthew's lips.
Matthew did not open his mouth.
"Little girl, I suddenly feel like kissing you." Selina's breathing froze in an instant.
She closed her eyes, then felt the man's gentle lips landing on her cheek, soon after which it retreated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd Saoirse happened to see that scene just as she entered the ward.
A look of resentment appeared in Saoirse's blue eyes.
She had put others before herself, yet this was what she was returned with instead. Her kindness was co misconstrued as idiocy, and Selina was even kissing William right there. en.swhovels Saoirse felt she had been educated wrongly this entire time.
Her father had told her to be a kind person with integrity.
She had been kind, yet she had only gotten bullied and mocked for her kindness.
"William." Saoirse spoke.
Selina and Matthew immediately looked over at her.
Seeing that it was Saoirse, a trace of dreariness flashed in Selina's eyes.
She really didn't want Saoirse to be there at that moment, the moment when she and Matthew were having such a warm time. Seeing the sad look on Selina's face, a hint of pleasure billowed in Saoirse's heart.
Her showing up there had made Selina uncomfortable.
A smile appeared on the corners of Saoirse's lips, a smile that could make anyone fall for her.
She immediately becas seductive as Caroline had taught her to be.
"William, are you feeling better now?" "I'm much better," Matthew said in a low tone.
Saoirse walked towards the bed.
She looked at the seat where Selina was sitting at and said, "Miss Whitlock, would you mindhaving that seat?" Selina was stunned for a moment.
On the other side, Matthew was about to speak when Selina suddenly stood up and said, "By all means." Saoirse then sat down.
Her posture was elegant, and her
back was straight. "William, I was really worried for you. It's good that you're all wellhow! I'm really happy En. that you're doing well again.
