Selena took Chance’s hand and shook her head, but she could not speak.
She could only look at Eric, begging for help.
Eric carried Chance down from the bed.
“Go to bed. Don’t disturb her rest.”
Chance turned his head three times and reluctantly left while wiping away his tears.
Selena looked at Eric angrily.
She was blaming him for not having much patience with Chance.
Eric sighed, sat down, and applied the ointment to Selena’s neck.
“I’m really not in the mood to think about anything else right now. I’ll apologize to him later, okay?”
Selena blinked her tender and watery eyes.
They finally found her biological father, so they could let go of all their worries.
From the initial shock and grief, Selena felt somewhat relieved now.
She felt that God treated her well.
Her grandfather saved her and sent her back to hell, but she climbed back up.
She also had her own career and this man in front of her.
What else could she complain about?
Selena was lucky.
She did not fall into the mire, and she did not let herself wallow in her misfortune.
Selena worked very hard to survive.
Eric lowered his head and carefully applied the ointment for her. He was very cautious as he was afraid that it would hurt her.
Selena’s tears fell in a daze. She touched Eric’s face comfortingly and could not speak, but she mouthed the words, “It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt.”
The corners of Eric’s eyes were slightly red as he held her in his arms.
“If he gets his way, I will kill him, Selena. I will definitely kill him.”
Noah did not get his way, but Eric still beat him to a pulp.
If Noah managed to kill Selena, Eric would definitely go crazy and lose control. He would make Noah pay for it with his life.
Of course, Selena believed what Eric said.
After all, she saw him beating Noah up.
Eric would not let Noah get away with it so easily.
He sent Noah to an unknown place.
Noah had hypocritically said that he wanted to cooperate with Eric and begged Eric for help.
Perhaps it was all an excuse to get close to Selena.
The closer he got to Eric, the more Selena would trust Noah.
Late at night, Selena fell asleep. Then, Eric went out.
His bodyguards were guarding a room that no one dared to approach.
Noah fainted in the cold, dark, and damp room.
They were at an old abandoned factory that had nothing to do with Ferguson Corporation.
Even if Noah were to die here, no one would suspect Eric.
Eric was well-prepared to fight to the death with Noah and retreat without leaving any evidence.
Suddenly, a bucket of cold water was poured over Noah’s head, and he instantly woke up from his drowsy state due to the stress response.
Noah whimpered in pain, slowly raised his head, and looked at Eric, who was standing in the dark with an oppressive vibe.
He paused for a moment, then came to his senses. He remembered what had happened and trembled all over.
Eric stood there and lit a cigarette for himself.
The smoke lingered and scattered in the air. It dispersed until nothing could be seen.
Noah felt a bone-chilling fear which made him shudder.
Seeing his reaction, Eric chuckled.
“Mr. Stanton, is it?”
“Mr. Stanton” reminded Noah of Selena’s biological mother.
She did not even know his name.
