She waved her hand at Lothar, "Don't mention him anymore, Lothar. I don't want to talk about him right now. Let's talk about something else."
"Okay," Lothar replied, "Then, where are you planning to go later?"
Selina looked down, fixing her gaze on her shoes, "I don't know where to go. I dare not tell my family about this. I'm worried that they might handle it worse than me if they know about this."
Lothar couldn't help but to bring back the topic to Matthew, "Isn't your family powerful too? You should just tell your family, and let them avenge you!"
She just let out a bitter laugh at this, "My family does has a powerful background, but do you think that Matthew is a pushover? Moreover, after all that had happened, do you think I'm still in the mood for revenge?"
Pointing at her heart, she explained, "What I want right now is not to let my heart hurt too much. I don't want anything else."
Lothar sighed heavily and said, "Since things have already gotten this bad, then it would be better for you to just put this all behind you."
Selina licked her lips and then directed her attention back to the ward, "By the way, I have something to tell you."
"Sure, go ahead."
"I'm going to transfer Yesseca to a different hospital. It will be a private one. She will be placed in a VIP ward and have personal nurses and doctors to attend to her."
Lothar immediately refused, "There is no need for that!"
Selina replied him in an exasperated tone, "I'm doing this for Yesseca's health."
Lothar explained, "Selina, you've already given me a hundred thousand dollars. I can't possibly ask you for more help. As her older brother, I will deal with her matter myself. You don't need to concern yourself with such affairs."
"Since Yesseca treats me as her big sister, then I shall be her big sister. Therefore, I should help!"
However, Lothar maintained a firm stance, "The public hospital may have a slightly lacking environment but that is the only poor aspect of it. Besides, Yesseca has made friends with others here after staying here for a long time. Letting her reside in a private hospital will be unfamiliar to her. As long as we are able to care for ourselves, we don't need others to attend to us."
At this point, Selina really didn't know how to persuade Lothar anymore.
"Take some time to consider it," she simply said.
"I don't need to."
She then added, "I will also help Yesseca find a suitable kidney donor. Give me her information and I'll search for one."
Lothar's breath halted for a moment,
He didn't desire for her help. After all, he already owed her far too much, but the temptation of her offer right now was far too great for him.
As long as she could find a compatible kidney donor, then Yesseca wouldn't have to be shut in the hospital all day.
Seeing how he had reacted to this news, Selina couldn't help but pushed his shoulder forcefully, "Don't contemplate this matter any longer. Don't you want Yesseca to recover?"
Lothar clenched his fists at her words, "Alright, I'll send you Yesseca's information later."
After pausing for a bit, he continued, "I am indebted to you, Selina. I'll repay you back for this in the future. I'll do whatever you ask me to do. My life belongs to you now!"
She simply shook her head at this, "It's nothing. We were just fated to meet each other."
What she had just said unnerved Lothar.
This was because only he knew the truth.
The truth behind this so- called destiny that he shared with Selina.
He had initially reached out to her for his own purposes. It had all been arranged beforehand.
Lothar swore that if Reid called him again, he would no longer do as he instructed, no matter what he did or threatened to do.
However, even if he wasn't going to continue to do this in this future, he still had to act friendly towards Selina under Reid's command.
How was he going to inform Selina about this?
Would they still be friends after she discovered the truth?
Lothar felt guilt and pain in his heart.
For the whole morning, Selina cooped herself up in the hospital.
It was such a laughable situation. Previously, she had told herself that running away was not a solution and she needed to faced her problems head on.
As a result of that, she had gone to find Matthew.
And now, she could only hide in a hospital, away from the public.
While Yesseca was resting, Lothar sat with her on the bench outside the ward.
It was lunchtime, so Lothar asked Selina to join them for lunch.
