Ashley was shocked at seeing this when she came back. “What happened to Mr. Gordon? I’ll call the doctor…”
“No need!” Selina said, “Please give me a towel. He will be alright after a while.”
Ashley doubted her words, but due to Selina’s insistence, she handed over a wet towel and helped Selina wipe Manfred’s body carefully. Selina was finally relieved when she saw Manfred get better.
Ashley was stunned, “How could it be…”
Selina was in ill health, and just now her worries and aid even wore her out. Once she was relieved, she almost fell.
Ashley held her to the bed and helped her lie down. She took a look at Manfred whose breathing turned steady. She shook her head and said, “Ms. Jones, please have a rest. Don’t worry, I’ll be here.”
Selina nodded. She seemed still worried and added, “Don’t touch him.”
Ashley nodded, “I know.”
Ashley had been here for quite a long time. She was reliable. Feeling relieved, Selina closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was the next morning.
She felt much better after taking a rest. She felt she was squashed up against something behind her back, so she moved a bit. Then she realized someone’s arms were holding to her waist.
Selina was startled and almost jumped up.
The man behind her held her back, “Let’s get some sleep.”
Hearing that it was Manfred’s voice, Selina was relieved. “Why did you come here?”
“There’s no smell of you on the sofa. I can’t sleep.” His voice was low, tinged with a childish tone.
Selina’s heart was softened. She thought of the rash last night and lifted his collar. Seeing that his rash had disappeared, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Manfred grabbed her wrists and got closer to her. Their noses were touched. “I’m afraid I might lose control if you keep doing this…”
Selina blushed, “I haven’t asked you why you had a rash last night. Messed with women?”
Selina made threatening gestures like a little tiger in front of him for the first time. Manfred couldn’t help but smile, “Are you being jealous?”
“Who’s being jealous? I don’t want to talk to you. You’ll know I almost threw you out if you asked Ashley.”
“You were being so cruel?” Manfred smiled widely, “Since that you threw me out, how come I got better?”
“How am I supposed to know that? Maybe you’re not allergic to some woman!”
“You must be jealous!” Manfred pinched the tip of her nose, “Because I’m almost suffocated by the smell of jealousy.”
Selina pouted, “I don’t want to talk to you!”
After a while, Manfred said, “Really? Then I’m leaving.”
He was about to get up.
Half a second later, Selina held her arm, “Hold me.”
Hearing this, Manfred lay down and held her. When they were canoodling with each other, Lawrence opened the door and stepped in.
He felt extremely embarrassed at seeing this. He covered his eyes quickly. “I didn’t see anything.”
Selina blushed and crept in the quilt hurriedly, while Manfred was calm. He sat up with his eyebrows frowned slightly.
“You’d better have something urgent to tell me!”
It sent shivers down Lawrence’s spine. “Like closing the case?”
Manfred frowned slightly, “Are you sure you have figured out everything?”
Lawrence was confused, “You have other clues?”
Hearing the conversation, Selina looked at them curiously, “Are you talking about my car accident?”
“Yeah,” Manfred muttered and lay her down, “Have a good rest. I’m going out and will be back soon.”
Lawrence was shocked that Manfred would inform others when he went out. He used to act alone, and no one knew where he was even when he got hurt.
“Nothing serious, isn’t it?” Selina asked.
“It’s OK. Don’t worry.” Then Manfred went out with Lawrence.
Lawrence turned around and waved to Selina, “See you next time.”
Selina didn’t speak.
When they went out, Lawrence took a careful look at Manfred anxiously, “I heard that you were attacked by a woman. Are you OK?”
“Do I look not OK?”
“Well, then why you would be attacked by a woman. What did you do?”
Manfred didn’t answer but asked, “Has the case closed?”
“Not yet, but nearly. The only reason they could speculate is a fatigue driving.”
Manfred sneered, “Let me show you something.”
The clues were sent by Todd’s man this morning. He gave them to Lawrence before he could take a look at them. Lawrence opened the files of the clues and his face clouded over soon.
“It should be intentional? The driver was bribed?”
But his fellow could not find out anything. It could be imagined that how powerful the mastermind hidden behind was.
“So last night, you went out for this, and then you…”
“This is not the point!” Manfred interrupted, “The point is that it was organized by Bonnie!”
The files sent from Todd included the video and picture of Bonnie’s meeting with the truck driver. It must have something to do with the concubine of the Gordon family.
Lawrence frowned, “It is the concubine. What are you going to do with it?”
Manfred sneered, “I don’t know anything. What do you want me to do?”
Lawrence got Manfred’s point at once. “OK, I got it. I will hand them to the relevant staff.”
It seemed that Jayden really provoked Manfred this time.
…
Bonnie didn’t dare to go out and kept staying at home after the accident.
Learning that the case was about to close, she got a chance to ask about Selina when she went to buy food.
It turned out that Selina had woke up.
Bonnie was so angry that she smashed the vegetables on the ground.
“Selina, you are still alive after all of this. You are really tough!”
There came with the siren. She looked around and found the police cars were running towards her home. She was scared and ran away in the other direction.
…
Selina was lying on the bed. Manfred was peeling an apple for her on the sofa. The way he peeled the apple was beautiful. And the peel strip would never be broken.
He handed over a peeled apple. “Have a taste?”
Selina took a bite of the apple and said, “So sweet!” And then she took another bite of it.
It was a big bite. Selina licked Manfred’s finger accidentally. Manfred suddenly put on a serious face, “Is the apple sweet or me?”
Selina could not be more familiar with that look. She shrunk her neck, “The apple.”
“Really?” Manfred pinched her chin and pecked her lips, “Wrong answer. One more chance.”
“The apple!” she struggled.
Another kiss fell on her lips. It was a French kiss. Selina was afraid of someone coming in, so she was very nervous.
When the kiss was finally over, she corrected herself, “You are the sweet one.”
Manfred kissed her once again, “That’s correct! Award you a kiss.”
Selina was speechless.
