"What are you still doing here?" asked Selina.
"I'll make a move after I've seen you go in safely." said Matthew with smile.
She felt a sudden wave of emotions grip her as he finished his sentence.
Seeing her stuck in place, Matthew steps out of the car. "Well? Are you going to head inside? What are you standing around for, silly?"
Selina bit her lip and took her time to gather the words she needed. Then, she gazed into his eyes. "Matthew, I promise I'll do my very best to fall in love with you."
He was so kind to her. There was no way someone undeserving and careless as her could ever repay him.
All she knew was that she would try her hardest. She would try her very best to love him. That was the only thing she could do for him.
Matthew's face hardened slightly.
And after a quick moment, he let out a sigh.
Lowering his tone, Matthew explains. "Selina, you can't just fall in love with someone by trying hard. Love is a natural and spontaneous instinct that comes from within. I should be the one to help foster those feelings within you. Don't think too much about it. Getting you to fall in love with me isn't your responsibility."
Selina could barely contain herself, she was so close to bursting out in tears.
How could he be so amazingly kind and considerate?!
He was so different than anyone she had ever met in her life!
And in that moment, she felt it.
Standing on her tiptoes, she leaned forward and kissed Matthew's handsome face. "In that case, Matthew, let's work hard together."
As Selina entered the villa, Cecilia grabbed her by the hand and started asking her a string of questions.
Selina had never seen Cecilia so invested in her personal relationships before.
The absolute look of dire expectation in Cecilia's eyes was proof that Natalie had not lied to her.
Cecilia was terribly obsessed and needed to know every detail of progress between Selina and Matthew.
"Nothing happened, mom. You shouldn't bother yourself about it." Putting an abrupt stop to Cecilia's rush of thoughts.
As soon as Selina said that, she noticed the look of disappointment that flashed across her mother's eyes.
Realizing what she had done, she stood in an awkward silence.
After thinking for a moment she said, "Mom, we haven't been together for very long. We just need some more time to smoother, things out."
She truly hoped that was the case, she wanted things to work between them.
She and Matthew will take things slow, and before she knows it she'll be falling head over heels for him.
Cecilia gently patted Selina's hands. "Alright, dear. Matthew is a remarkable man that's not easy to come by. The fact that he likes you makes me very happy. You must not let go of such a good man."
"I know mom. I'm going to go lie down for a bit."
Cecilia smiled. "Sure honey, get some rest."
Selina went into her bedroom and laid on her bed, closing her eyes.
But try as she might, Selina couldn't get any rest. Her eyelids would not stop twitching when she closed them. It was impossible for her to get any sleep this way.
She couldn't stand it anymore. Getting out of bed, she started walking towards her mirror to look at her eyes. Why were they twitching so much?
As she reached her mirror, her cell phone started ringing.
The screen on her phone lit up, displaying an unknown number.
Selina picked up the phone and answered. "Who is it"?
"Is this Selina Whitlock?" The voice on the other end was a woman's, it was soft but held a hint of anxiety.
Selina was suddenly taken aback.
It sounded so familiar, but she couldn't put a face to it.
"Who are you?" Selina asked, confused.
"Selina, I'm Dylan's mother. Do you still remember me? The both of you came to visit last time."
Selina was stunned.
She rushed out of her room.
Missha had called to tell her that something had happened to Dylan.
Missha furrowed her brows in recollection and after realizing it, patted herself on the head. "Oh yes, I remember! You're Selina. I called you earlier."
Selina breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew of Missha's brain condition and should have expected this. But it seems to be much worse than she had imagined. Luckily she was still able to remember with a simple explanation.
"Mrs. Cowell, where is Dylan?" Selina asked hurriedly.
Missha pointed towards a door. "He is inside. He keeps calling for you. It's strange After all, since you're his girlfriend, there's no way you'd have gone missing, right?"
Selina bit down on her lip and didn't reply.
Missha probably didn't know. She didn't know that their relationship had already ended.
She stepped towards the door.
All her anxiety from earlier had vanished and now she found herself feeling uneasy.
She wasn't sure if coming here was the right thing to do.
It was already over between her and Dylan. She was with Matthew now. She shouldn't even be here.
But yet, here she was. She didn't stop to think about it, her body just took control.
In the end, she decided to stop thinking about it.
She was already here. It didn't need to be so complicated. Even if they were just friends now, it wouldn't be out of the question to pay him a visit.
As she stepped into the room, she saw Dylan was lying on a bed. Beside him was an IV drip, with a tube connected to his forearm.
Her heart ached at the sight of him.
She had never seen Dylan so weak and vulnerable before.
He was always so energetic and full of swagger.
But right now, he was lying still on his bed, eyes closed with a face as pale as snow.
Dylan weakly opened his mouth and uttered in a soft voice. "Selina... Selina... Don't go, don't go..."
