The next day, Chester invited some famous doctors to give Manfred a comprehensive examination.
And they came to the conclusion that Manfred was in good fitness.
Chester told the doctors about what happened to Manfred, and the doctors also got confused. “We’ve never heard about it. If Mr. Manfred did suffer a serious skin disease as you’ve said, it’s impossible that there is no side effect.”
Those doctors nodded in confirmation, “We’ve never seen anything like this before. But maybe the one who can treat him is the key. Perhaps psychology can help you figure it out.”
After the doctors left, Chester looked upset.
At that moment, for Selina, Chester was just a father who was worried about his child.
Suddenly, Chester shook and almost fell down. Selina supported him in time, “Master Gordon, be careful.”
Chester took a deep look at Selina and left.
After that, Selina sighed, “Actually, he really cares about you.”
Manfred smiled, “He is more worried that no one will inherit his fortune in the future.”
Every family had a skeleton in the cupboard. So Selina stopped talking about it.
Manfred put on his clothes. Selina was puzzled, “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to work.”
Selina jumped up immediately. “Oh my God! I’m late for work!” But she had left her stuff in Bishuiwan Community.
Manfred was amused.
“I must go now! It’s late.” Then she ran out.
Manfred grabbed her hand and said, “I’ll drive you to work.”
Fortunately, they made it in time. Darnell was waiting for her in her seat. Selina felt sorry about that.
“Sorry, I’ve lost track of the time.”
Darnell looked at his watch and said, “It’s okay. It’s not too late. Let’s go to the construction site.”
“Are you going there with me?” Selina was surprised.
“What? Shouldn’t I? After all, this is the first large project we undertake. I’m very concerned about it.”
That made sense.
So they went to the construction site together.
When they arrived, they saw people gather around. Selina and Darnell exchanged glances and hurriedly ran over.
“What’s going on?”
“The rope broke and the construction waste smashed into a man!”
Darnell’s face turned pale and he quickly ran to check the man. It was the first time Selina saw him be in panic. She hurriedly called an ambulance.
It was panic stations here. The worker was lying there covered in blood, leaving Selina startled.
The workers surrounded Darnell. “Boss, what should we do?”
The worker’s wife was sitting beside him, her hair disheveled, his eyes glassy, neither crying nor moving. Her two little children hugged the woman’s thigh tightly.
Selina couldn’t bear it, so she stepped forward to help the woman up. “Get up please. The ambulance will be here soon.”
The woman looked up at her dumbly. It was a great shock for Selina. She could see the desperation in her sorrowful eyes.
Selina recalled the time when she stayed in the Keith family and sadness flooded over her. “Madam, don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”
The woman ignored her and lowered her head again, with her eyes fixed on her husband.
The ambulance soon arrived. Selina and Darnell followed them to the hospital. Everyone waited outside the emergency room.
Noticing the dust on the woman’s face, Selina handed her a napkin. But the woman did not take it, so Selina could only take it back.
Her two children seemed not as frightened as before. Since Selina didn’t look bad, the older one asked, “Will my dad wake up?”
It was so hard for Selina watching his pure and innocent eyes.
She reached out to stroke his head and nodded. “He will!”
The little boy was happy about her answer. After thinking for a while, he took out a small peanut from his pocket and handed it to Selina. “Here you are.”
Selina took it with mixed feelings.
After a long time, the door to the emergency room opened. The doctor shook his head. “We did everything we could.”
Selina froze. And the next second, the silent woman suddenly burst into tears. Selina also felt sad and wanted to help her up.
However, she was pushed away by the two children. The older one, who had just given Selina a peanut, hit Selina hard. “You liar! I want my father back!”
Selina didn’t know how to defend herself against his accusations. They were just the witnesses of the misery. But how could she make it clear to a kid?
Darnell hurriedly to protect Selina, which, however, aroused the boy’s hatred. He suddenly grabbed Selina’s hand and took a bite relentlessly.
The pain caused Selina to let go of the peanut in her hand which then fell to the ground and was crushed.
The sting was over as the boy’s mother was so sad that she fainted. After sending the woman into the ward, Darnell apologized to Selina.
“Are you alright? Let’s have your wound dressed.”
Selina shook her head, “It’s okay. Have you straightened it out? What exactly happened?”
Darnell smiled bitterly. “I guess I’m out of luck. It’s said that the lifting rope was broken. The rope has been taken away by the police for investigation. The truth will come out soon.”
Selina nodded. Looking at Darnell, who was upset, she comforted him, “Don’t worry…”
Just then, her phone rang.
As soon as she got through, she heard Manfred’s anxious voice, “Where are you? I heard that there was an accident on your construction site.”
He was really well-informed.
Selina nodded, “I’m still in the hospital.”
“Wait for me there.” Manfred hung up.
Selina sat in the chair in a daze, with flashbacks of the boy’s eyes.
Suddenly, she asked, “What are we gonna do if it’s not our fault?”
Darnell asked, “Do you take pity on them?”
Selina was not sure. Probably it was pity for life.
Darnell smiled bitterly. “You know what? Long Peace Group is just a paper tiger. Everyone in Russell City knows that. My family doesn’t like me. I took over the Long Peace Group to prove myself. But now…”
Selina frowned. She had actually heard about that. Actually, they were in similar situations.
Darnell’s father was partial to his young wife and the two children born to her. He didn’t care about Darnell at all.
“I’m sorry about that. I’m sure you’ll get it through,” Selina said.
In order to express her empathetic concern, she even patted Darnell on the shoulder. However, just then, Manfred walked over from the corridor.
