She was furious. "The police have taken him away, right?" I'll go to the police station and look for him right now!"
Matthew stopped her. "Don't be impulsive. Lothar is more important. Let's check how he is first."
After hearing what Matthew had said, Selina calmed down slightly.
She took a deep breath. "Well, let's wait and see then. However, I won't let him off that easily."
Yesseca swayed a few times while they were waiting.
Selina supported her as she said, "You should go back to the ward and lie down. I'll let you know when Lothar comes out."
She shook her head. "No, I must wait for him here, or I won't be at ease."
Selina didn't say anything at that.
Despite Yesseca's weak appearance, she was actually quite tough.
Time passed, and Lothar finally came out.
He had undergone a minor surgery.
Lothar's head was in bandages as he was pushed out of the operating room.
The good thing was that he was still conscious and able to talk.
He was extremely surprised when he saw Selina. "Selina, what are you doing here?"
Yesseca quickly spoke up, "Lothar, I was the one who called her over. I used your phone to call her."
He shot her a look of reproach. "I'm alright. It's not right to let them come all the way here!"
Selina said, "What's wrong with doing that? I'm your friend. Don't you want to me to check on you when something happens to you? Who beat you up? Did you start a feud with someone?"
Lothar was at a loss himself. "I don't know him at all. He started hitting me the moment he rushed into the ward. I still don't know what's going on."
Selina fell quiet.
She couldn't help glancing at Matthew. "Matthew, what do you think about this?"
Matthew had always been bright so she wanted to know what he thought.
There was a depth to his gaze. "We should look for the assailant and ask him."
Selina felt that Matthew was right.
"We will go to the police station later and ask him what's going on."
However, Lothar didn't want Selina to waste her efforts on him, let alone Matthew as well.
"Forget it, I'll go myself."
Selina's gaze fell onto Lothar's bandaged head. "Forget that. Look at yourself!"
Lothar didn't have anything to say.
After settling Lothar, Matthew and Selina drove to the police station.
She suddenly asked him while they were driving, "You won't get jealous if I run errands for Lothar, right?"
He replied plainly, "You guys are friends. Besides, I'm confident in myself."
A look of approval flashed across her face. "Matthew, that's what I like about you. I like that you have self-confidence and enough trust in me."
Matthew smiled at her.
He glanced at her and said, "Is it the same for you? Do you have enough confidence in yourself and do you trust me too?"
She hesitated for a moment.
She murmured, "I can't be confident in front of such a beautiful woman."
Perhaps she would have felt better if it was a normal looking woman. If that was the case, it might even have been possible for her to forgive Matthew immediately after hearing it from Tobias.
But Saoirse was too beautiful. Her beauty made people tremble.
Her beauty had frightened even her.
He reassured her softly. "Selina, no one is more beautiful than you,"
He may have spoken softly, but he sounded so sure.
She pursed her lips in reply and said nothing.
Meanwhile, in the villa where Saoirse was staying.
The security guard had given a gun to her. It was one made for women.
She thanked the guard.
He reminded her, "Miss Saoirse, please be careful. Guns are not something to toy around with."
She nodded. "I will."
She took the gun upstairs and hid it under her pillow.
