As Jude walked in, she asked, "Selena, are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine..." Selena's voice was still trembling.
"I had someone send the three kids home, and there are people at home to take care of them."
"Thanks."
Jude looked at Selena, then walked over and patted her shoulder. "Mrs. Fowler, this is only the first step, and yet you can't hold up now? You can’t be at the mercy of these people! Get changed, and let’s go to the hospital. Otherwise, those people will have something to say about you again."
Taking a deep breath, Selena stood up, took off the dress she was wearing, and changed into casual clothes.
Just at this time, Chris walked in. "Selena, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Chris. Thank you for asking."
"We’re a family, so there’s no need to be so polite. You don’t need to be so anxious too. Dad has not been in particularly good health, and he seems to have vomited blood last time at home as well. I’m sure my mother was just too anxious just now to see my father vomit blood, so she said such harsh words to you. Please do not take it to heart."
Selena forced a smile. “Okay.”
"Then let's go to the hospital together now. Most of the guests are almost gone, so the staff can handle the rest."
As Jude was uneasy, she still followed them to the hospital. Outside the emergency room, Helen and her maid were sitting on a bench. At this moment, Helen had dissolved in tears and was still wailing aloud.
"Mom, how is Dad?"
