Caroline thought that whether it was Selina or not, the sight of a girl throwing up at the roadside required help. Therefore, she immediately strode over.
Matthew got out of the car.
He patted Selina's back and asked, "Are you okay, Selina?"
Selina stopped vomiting.
Matthew took out a tissue and gently wiped the corner of Selina's mouth.
Selina looked at Matthew and asked in a slightly doubtful tone, "You're okay with me being messed up and dirty?"
That man was still helping to wipe herself despite her throwing up.
With eyes that shone like a diamond in the dark, Matthew said gently, "Selina, you're my wife. How can I be disgusted by this?"
Selina chuckled.
Her chuckle had an indescribable undertone which also had a tinge of irony.
Suddenly, Selina's smile froze.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a girl standing diagonally opposite to her. The girl's eyes were a little frightened, and her whole body seemed to be frozen as she stood stiffly.
Matthew's gaze was also turned to the direction of Selina's gaze.
"Caroline?" Selina asked as her mind went blank all of a sudden.
Time seemed to stop for a moment.
After a while, she saw Caroline walking towards her.
"Selina, so you're the wife of Mr. Perry," Caroline looked into Selina's eyes.
At this moment, the fear in her eyes had faded away and she was very calm. The sense of disbelief, unfairness, and gloom were deeply hidden in the depths of her eyes, making her gaze looked even more shifty.
Selina had never been so panicked that no words seemed to be coming out from her gaping mouth.
Matthew frowned slightly.
Caroline's gaze fell on Matthew's face as she smiled and asked, "Hello, Mr. Perry, do you still remember me?"
There was a flash of confusion in Matthew's eyes.
The girl before his eyes seemed familiar, but he really didn't remember her clearly.
Caroline felt a sense of bitterness in her heart.
It turned out that Matthew didn't even remember her despite having met each other once and them having a little conversation. Wouldn't that be considered as having met before even if it was only once?
But clearly this man didn't remember her at all.
Caroline's eyes shimmered as she said softly, "Mr. Perry, I was an employee of your company who just resigned recently. I'm just here to say hello to you and your wife. I may be interrupting, so I'll make a move first."
After saying that, Caroline turned around and left.
It wasn't until when Caroline was about to disappear from the corner of her eyes that Selina came to her senses.
With bated breath, she said, "You go back first. I'll borrow your car. I have something to do."
After saying so, she got into Matthew's car which then sped off.
After driving for a short while, Selina noticed Caroline from behind.
Selina felt an indescribable pain looking at the girl's lonely silhouette from the back.
Selina stopped the car and got down to run towards Caroline.
"Caroline!" She called out her name.
Caroline paused in her steps.
However, it was only a quick pause which was followed by a quick pace that was faster than before.
Selina could only run over and grab Caroline's hand.
Caroline's body stiffened for a few seconds.
After a moment, she turned around and stared at Selina.
