Chapter 2389 Help
Selena took a deep breath and quickly stood up.
“Wait here. I’ll get you some water.”
Selena ran to the next room and found an unopened bottle of mineral water.
It was a common brand. Selena guessed that the staff did not have time to keep the box of mineral water in the storage room yet.
Selena did not even look at the expiration date, opened it, and poured it into the glass of hot water.
Then, she looked at the instructions on the medicine box and found that it was a painkiller of a foreign brand.
Selena broke off half a tablet and put it in Chance’s mouth.
Chance’s long eyelashes trembled slightly. Before he had time to say anything, he lowered his head and ate it.He swallowed the pill and held his breath for a while. His little face was flushed.
After a while, the pain slowly subsided.It seemed that the drug had taken effect.
Selena patted him on the back to soothe him.He swallowed the pill and held his breath for a while. His little face was flushed.
After a while, the pain slowly subsided.It seemed that the drug had taken effect.
Selena patted him on the back to soothe him.She could not find a tissue in the room, so she wiped Chance’s sweat with her dress.
Chance paused and slowly pushed her away.
From Selena’s point of view, she thought that he disliked her.
Selena pursed her lips. “Sorry. I’ll get someone to come over and take care of you.”
Chance took a deep breath. Although he was still in pain, it was not as bad as before.
“Thank you, Auntie. There’s no need for that. I’ll be fine after a while.”
Selena paused, stood up, and sat down on the seat next to him.She was a little uneasy.
Chance looked innocent and cute, but he was very defensive.
When Chance picked up the other half of the pill on the table and was about to put it in his mouth, Selena stopped him.
“You just ate half.”
Chance pursed his lips. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his hand that was holding the pill hesitated.
“Just now, the servant asked me to take one pill. Maybe I’ll get better faster.”
Selena grabbed his wrist.
‘‘This medicine isn’t from Mediania. I took this before when I was abroad, and the dosage is for adults. It’s not suitable for children, so taking half a pill should be enough for you. If you take one pill, you might overdose.”
Selena spoke patiently in a gentle voice to persuade this little cutie.
What a poor boy!
The curly-haired boy sat there and acted like an adult. It was obviously his birthday, but he did not look happy at all.
Instead, he was lying alone on the sofa, waiting for the water to cool down to take his medicine.
It seemed that not all children from wealthy families were happy.
Selena sighed and patted his head.
“I’ll get you a doctor. It’s such a big occasion, so there must be a doctor on standby.”
Chance lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and suddenly asked, “Are you also here for a blind date with my dad?”
Selena froze slightly. The corners of her eyes twitched.
“Blind date?”
Chance looked up at her.
“Auntie, if you want to use me to get close to my dad, I suggest you find another way. My dad doesn’t like me. The nicer you are to me, the more he’ll look down on you. You might as well be like the other beautiful ladies out there and take the initiative to please him. There’s no use in wasting your time here.”
Chance looked serious, and he was not at all joking.
Due to the pain he just endured, he had tears in his eyes, but they were contained well.
Selena’s expression stiffened slightly. She pursed her lips.
“You mean, the people who came today are here because of your father? They’re here for a blind date?” Chance nodded seriously.
“You too.”
“No, I’m not!”
Selena immediately denied it. She picked up the palm-sized box from the table.
‘‘This is for you. Happy birthday!”
Chance looked at her strangely before he looked at the gift in front of him.He did not understand why this lady specially prepared a gift for him.
Other guests’ gifts were sent to the butler. They would not give it to him.
Most of the gifts were also for Eric.
Only this woman in front of him delivered the gift to him.
Holding the box in his hand, Chance felt a little helpless.His cute and pitiful look made Selena’s heart melt.
“Open it and take a look. Do you like it?”
Selena smiled. “I used to be a tutor when I was abroad, and kids your age like to play this.”
Chance opened it slowly. He stopped himself from crying and was slightly startled to see the Rubik’s Cube in the box.It was a delicate and compact Rubik’s Cube that was just the right size for Chance to hold and play with.
For some reason, Chance suddenly felt like crying.
On his so-called “birthday”, someone actually gave him a very heartwarming birthday present.It was not very expensive, but it was suitable for him.
It was suitable for his age and occasion.
Chance suddenly could not hold back his tears, which streamed down his face.
Selena was a little surprised to see this and stroked his hair.
“Don’t cry!”
She suddenly remembered that the child in front of her was not an ordinary child, so she should not touch him so casually.
Selena withdrew her hand again.
“What’s going on? Do you still feel uncomfortable? I’ll find a doctor for you! Wait here!”
Selena stood up and ran outside.
She was on the second floor and happened to see Eric downstairs, standing in the most conspicuous position and talking to a beautiful and intellectual woman in front of him.
Although he was not friendly, he looked gentle enough.
Selena beckoned to Eric and shouted, “Mr. Ferguson, can you come upstairs? There’s something urgent!”
Eric raised his head impatiently, glanced at Selena coldly, and did not speak. He continued to listen to the woman in front of him with his head bowed.
Selena was speechless and thought, ‘’He’s really doing this for his blind date!’’
She was disappointed in Eric and thought, ‘’His son is sick, but he’s still in the mood to chat with beautiful women? Hah!’’
The people around them could not help but mock Selena.
“Some people just don’t know what they’re worth!”
“Right. She should really take a look in the mirror…”
Selena could not bear it anymore. She took a deep breath, looked sideways, and said to the coquettish and thin woman.
“Since there’s no mirror here, do you want to piss on the floor so I can take a look at my reflection?”
Her voice was not exactly soft, so almost everyone around her heard it.
The woman froze for a moment and pointed at her with a livid face.
“How can you be so vulgar?”
She took a step back in disgust as if there was sh*t in front of her.
Selena rolled her eyes. “And you’re not rude for talking about others behind their backs?”
That woman was trembling with anger. She had never seen such a vulgar and blunt person.
She did not try to be polite anymore and said, “No wonder you were kicked out of your house! You’re a cheater and a divorcee.What qualifications do you have to be here?”
Selena sneered. “You’re right. You’re qualified to be here, but you’re just a woman who wants to rely on a man to climb up the social ladder. He didn’t even look at you. You don’t even have the ability to seduce him, but you think you can bully me?”
Selena did not want to make trouble at first. After all, this was Eric’s party.
However, what this woman said was really bothering her.
Derek and the Nelson family bullied Selena, and she endured it all.But why did she have to put up with an insignificant person? Did everyone think that she was a pushover?
