Eric closed his eyes as if he was suppressing his emotions.
What an earth-shattering change!
Chance knelt beside Eric as if he had done something wrong and carefully picked up the potato chips, placing them into the bag. Chance did not dare to look at his father’s expression.
Finally, when he was done picking up the mess, Chance cautiously said, “Daddy, are you feeling better?”
The soft and childish voice in Eric’s ear brought Eric out of his thoughts.
His eyes were deep and dark as he glanced at Chance.
“What’s going on?”
Chance thought that Eric was referring to Selena’s appearance, so he quickly explained, “Uncle Mitchell asked Aunt Selena to come and take care of you because he suspected that someone deliberately caused the accident. Uncle Mitchell concealed the fact that you were injured for fear of causing conflicts and panic in the company. Aunt Selena has been taking care of you here for the past few days. She even gave up her job! Aunt Selena is such a kind person!”
Chance did not want Eric to be displeased with Selena.
Thus, he tried his best to speak well of Selena.
Of course, Eric had his own judgment and did not take Chance’s words to heart.
After finishing the phone call, Selena walked over with a smile and affectionately stroked Chance’s curly hair.
“You’re such a wise kid!”
Chance also looked up at her with a smile.
Looking at the relationship between these two, Eric felt a strange emotion as if his heart was strangled by a thin thread.
However, that feeling soon disappeared without a trace.
Eric frowned, took a deep breath, and said in a heavy tone, “Did you come here, planning to wait for me to die and get my inheritance?”
He stared at Selena unkindly.
Selena froze for a moment. Thinking of her behavior just now, she thought that it was a reason for his misunderstanding.
She laughed out loud and said, “Then am I in your will?”
Eric was speechless as he thought, ‘Is she cursing me to die young?’
Selena patted Eric’s head. Although Eric was annoyed with this, he was a weak patient and had no strength to stop her.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Ferguson. I didn’t come here for the money. You’re really lucky. You almost lost your life while on a business trip. I think you don’t have it easy. You make so much money, and if you suddenly die, it’ll be quite worrying to distribute the rest of the money that you didn’t spend!”
Eric’s face became increasingly colder.
He knew that he would never hear a good word from Selena’s mouth!
His voice was deep as he said, “You don’t need to worry about this. I know that you’re not here to take care of me for money.”
Selena raised her eyebrows. “Oh?”
“Of course, you came here for me. You finally got this opportunity, so any normal person would take advantage of it.”
Eric glanced at her with some understanding as if he could read her mind.
Selena suddenly felt speechless.
Great! What she was worried about really happened.
The smile on Selena’s face stiffened as she looked at the unshaven man with complicated eyes.
He was too confident in himself.
“Mr. Ferguson…”
Selena was about to say something when Eric raised his hand slightly to interrupt her.
“Since you took care of me, I can give you a chance.”
Selena was shocked.
“But it all depends on your performance.”
Eric did not want Selena to be too complacent.
Selena was shocked again.
There was just no end to this!
Soon, Easton came in a hurry and broke the awkward tension in the room.
Selena fled the room and sighed in relief.
Chance also ran out.
The two touched their chests and felt terrified.
