Francia was frightened by Natalie's statement.
After Natalie left with Selina, Francia just curled her lips in distaste, "Ha, so what if she is the precious daughter of the Whitlock family, she is still a mistress."
"Mom, what's going on?" Bowie asked.
Francia lowered her voice, "Did you see that woman your sister Natalie held just now? She is someone else's mistress."
Bowie immediately looked disgusted, "I won't be like her. I'm going to be the wife of a rich man," she stated.
"That's right," Francia praised Bowie, "My daughter is so beautiful and blessed, she'll definitely marry a rich man, just like your sister Natalie!"
Natalie brought Selina to the car.
Francia and Bowie hadn't followed them yet.
However, Natalie didn't bother herself with them.
After all, they had some cash in hand and knew where the Whitlock family home was, hence, they could just find their own way back.
After they got in the car, Natalie found that Selina's hands were freezing.
She became more anxious.
"Selina, don't be afraid, we'll go home now," Natalie tried to comfort her.
Selina remained silent.
Her eyes were unfocused and dull.
Natalie immediately called Matthew.
The phone was answered by Matthew's assistant.
His assistant said that Matthew was still in a meeting.
Natalie's voice was stern as she emphasized each word, "Tell Matthew that he will come to the Whitlock family villa now even if the sky is falling. Something happened to Selina."
About five minutes later, Natalie's phone rang.
Matthew's voice was laced with worry, "Natalie, what happened to Selina?"
Natalie looked back at Selina, "Matthew, come to the Whitlock family homd," she just said.
"Give the phone to Selina! I want to talk to her now!" Matthew almost shouted.
"Matthew, she can't talk to you right now," Natalie sighed.
Matthew's breathing became heavy.
"I'll be there," he finally choked out.
The driver drove to the Whitlock family's villa.
Natalie made a call home and asked about the situation, the servants informed her that Cecilia had already left with Norwell.
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Cecilia was not around. Otherwise, she would be heartbroken when she saw the state Selina was in.
She understood how Cecilia would feel since she was also a mother herself.
Natalie pulled Selina all the way to the living room. "Selina, let's take a shower first," Natalie prompted her gently.
Selina was unresponsive.
Natalie stared at Selina for a while, "I'll help you to wash up," Natalie decided.
Natalie brought Selina to the bathroom and helped her strip out of her clothes.
Selina was still in a daze when she sprayed her with the shower hose.
About ten minutes later, Natalie closed the tap.
She took a bath towel and went to wipe Selina down.
Selina finally reacted.
"I'll do it myself," she said.
Natalie handed the bath towel to her, "I'll wait for
you outside."
After a while, Selina walked out.
She had put on a white nightgown.
The color of the nightgown and her pale face gave off an eerie feeling.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
Matthew was here.
