Chapter 2455
Chapter 2455 Stabbed
Selena had not had breakfast yet!
Mitchell did not say much and asked her to get in the car.
“Ms. Nelson, you can have breakfast at the villa and get the servants to make whatever you want to eat.”
Selena paused. “Mr. Crawford, you know about my relationship with Eric. Does he know that I’m going? He won’t think that I’m being delusional again, right?”
She did not want to be accused of having a deep affection for Eric and looking for any opportunity to get close to him again.
It was really insulting!
Mitchell pursed his lips and had a complicated expression.
“I’m sorry to trouble you, but I really can’t find a more suitable person to help out on such short notice.”
The women around Eric were few enough that Mitchell could count them with his fingers.
Mitchell also could not get a man to stay with Eric because it would be strange.
“I don’t understand.”
Selena shook her head.
She was really dumbfounded.
Mitchell took a deep breath.
“Actually, Mr. Ferguson isn’t sick. He’s injured. This matter is of great importance, so we can’t expose his situation. Otherwise, if a competitor caught wind of this and turned it against us, it would affect the operation of the entire company. We can’t even trust the servants at home. The fewer people who know about this, the better. So, you just need to stay there and don’t need to do much. All you have to do is take good care of Mr. Ferguson and keep this secret until he wakes up.”
Selena did not speak for a long time.
There was a long silence.
“Injured? What do you mean? He’s not awake?”
“Yes, it’s very serious. He has been in a coma since.”
“When did this happen? We just had dinner together a few days ago
Selena was a little shocked. Her heart kept sinking.
For some reason, her heart clenched, and she felt uncomfortable.
Mitchell paused.
“Last night. We went to a neighboring city to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of a project. After it ended, we got into a car accident. Mr. Ferguson had a stomach ache from drinking too much, so he stayed in the car. The bodyguard and I went down to check out the car, but someone snuck inside when we weren’t paying attention and stabbed Mr. Ferguson in the chest.”
Mitchell briefly told Selena what happened without going into the gory details, but Selena was still shocked.
Stabbed in the chest…
Still in a coma…
It was not difficult to imagine how horrifying that scene was.
Suddenly, Selena thought about how she mocked Eric for only working and making money when she was at Ferguson Corporation. At that time, she thought it was easy for him to make money and that regular people would never make that kind of money in a few lifetimes.
Thinking about it now, Selena thought that Eric did not have it easy either.
After all, she did not need to risk her life in exchange for money.
On the contrary, Eric still had to face constant danger.
His success was not as easy as it seemed on the surface!
Selena’s heart was heavy. Somehow, she felt sorry for Eric.
Seeing that Selena was silent, Mitchell comforted her.
“Ms. Nelson, don’t worry. Mr. Ferguson has experienced all kinds of dangers before. He will be fine.”
Selena subconsciously retorted.
“I’m not worried about him. I’m just lamenting how fragile life is. An accident could happen anytime.”
Mitchell thought, ‘Oh, she’s just thinking about life?’
He pursed his lips and was not in the mood to continue talking.
When they arrived at the villa, Mitchell led her out of the car.
The two servants at home were working as usual.
When Mitchell brought a woman over, they asked, “Mr. Crawford, this is…”
Mitchell paused. Just as he was about to say something, Chance happened to come down from upstairs, and trotted over happily.
“Auntie, you’re here! Daddy and I miss you so much…”
The two servants looked at each other.
Chance walked over to hug her and looked at the two servants.
“This is my friend. You guys have to take good care of her.”
The servant quickly nodded.
Mitchell smiled. “From now on, you guys can just treat Ms. Nelson as your lady boss!”
The servants subconsciously took another look at Selena.
Lady boss?
This was not a simple title. It was significant.
Their doubt turned into apprehension, and they instantly knew how to treat Selena.
They absolutely dared not neglect her.
“Yes, Mr. Crawford.”
Selena twitched her lips, glanced at Chance, and then at Mitchell.
Did they have to act like this?
If Eric knew about what they did, he would certainly call out her “ bad intentions”.
Selena felt like she was forced into this situation.
Mitchell touched his nose and coughed.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you upstairs and report to Mr. Ferguson about today’s work in the meantime.”
As he spoke, he was about to go upstairs when he suddenly turned to look at the servants again.
“By the way, don’t go upstairs without Ms. Nelson’s consent in the future. Mr. Ferguson needs absolute silence when he’s working.”
“Yes, sir.”
They looked up and did not know what had happened, but something felt off.
When they went upstairs and opened Eric’s room door, Selena could smell a faint sandalwood fragrance.
The entire room was luxurious and bright.
She turned her head and saw Eric, who was lying on the bed with his eyes tightly closed. His face was a little pale.
He looked lifeless and weak as hell.
Eric seemed completely different from the resolute, arrogant, and irritatingly self-conceited man from before.
There was a bag of liquid hanging beside Eric, and he had gauze wrapped around his shoulders with some blood stains on it.
Aman in a suit who was sitting next to Eric raised his eyebrows when he saw them.
“This is the person you hired to take care of Ferg?”
Mitchell nodded and said to Selena, “This is Mr. Ferguson’s personal doctor and his good friend, Easton Kelly. Easton, this is Ms. Nelson, Mr. Ferguson’s close friend.”
Easton nodded and smiled meaningfully.
“A friend of a friend is still a friend, right, Ms. Nelson?”
Easton stretched out his hand and shook hands with Selena briefly.
They smiled at each other.
Selena said, “Eric and I are not friends. At most… He’s my creditor.”
After all, Eric had helped her so many times before.
This time, it was her turn to repay his kindness!
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Finally, Mitchell sighed and had a gloomy expression.
“I don’t know when Mr. Ferguson will wake up. I can maintain the company’s affairs for the time being, but I think there’s a problem with the project in the neighboring city.”
Easton’s smile faded.
“Have they arrested the man who stabbed him yet?”
“Yes, but the other party insisted that he only did it for the money. The police didn’t find any valuable leads.”
Mitchell did not avoid Selena.
It was as if he had regarded her as a confidant.
Easton said, “Then let’s start with the project. Who doesn’t want this project to succeed?”
Mitchell sighed and nodded.
“The investigation has already begun.”
However, the effect was not as expected.
The early stage of that project had been going smoothly without much resistance, with support from the authorities and cooperation from the workers.
Mitchell could not figure out why this happened all of a sudden.
Everyone was a little confused.
Easton glanced at Selena. His expression softened a bit.
“Ms. Nelson, I can’t come here every day to check on his condition. If you’re unsure of anything, you can call me at any time and ask me. By the way, please tell me immediately if he develops a fever.” Selena nodded. “Okay.”
She promised quickly, but she instantly regretted it.
Were they taking her as a caregiver?
She felt cheated!
