Chapter 2548 She Deserves to Die
The car was parked not far away.
Selena took the initiative to open the car door and even used her hand to block the car frame to ensure that Eric would not hit it by accident when he got into the car.
Then, Selena went to the other side and got in the car quickly. The driver left without asking questions and sped away.
Eric did not let go of his hand, and Selena did not say a word.
She was worried and scared.
Selena was not afraid that she would get entangled with him again. She was afraid that she had destroyed such an outstanding person.
How could such a proud and indifferent man be ruined by her?
Selena loathed herself for her carelessness.
She went too far and did not pay attention to his safety at all.
Now that this happened, Selena was frustrated and regretful.
Eric probably felt her trembling, so he reached out his hand and pinched Selena’s arm. His voice was hoarse but restrained.
“Are you nervous? Don’t be scared. Luckily, you’re not the one who is injured. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the pain. Don’t worry. I won’t blame you or hold you responsible.”
His words silenced her for a moment.
It seemed to have punctured her worried thoughts.
It was embarrassing.
Looking at it now, Selena thought that she was extremely childish and ridiculous.
She should not be afraid of these things.
How could Eric think so thoroughly?
Selena choked up, but she did not want him to hear it.
“I’m sorry…”
Eric pursed his lips and did not speak.
The driver knew the seriousness of the matter and ran through two red lights along the way without hesitation. He went straight to the emergency room of the hospital.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital, but Mitchell was not there yet.
Thus, Selena handled the formalities.
She panicked, but she managed to calm herself down.
Selena had not been so anxious since she went abroad to flee from Derek Norton.
In the first few years, Derek Norton was constantly abusing her. Sometimes, when she heard his footsteps, she would habitually tremble in fear.
Escaping was her last act of courage.
Selena managed to escape from that marriage.
At this moment, that fear flooded into her heart again and spread to all corners of her body.
She almost lost all her strength, but she had to drag her numb body to complete the procedures as required.
After she finished everything, she sat upright by the door of the emergency room and waited.
Time had never felt so long.
During this time, Selena ran through all her past experiences, from her divorce to the present.
Eric had been supporting her and pushing her forward.
He was the most important person in her life.
However, she still decided to give up on him.
Did she regret it?
No.
But if she had to do it all over again, she probably could not bear to give up on Eric.
Selena thought that she deserved to die for dumping him and hurting him like this.
If Eric beat her, scolded her, and taunted her, she would not have felt so bad.
However, Eric taught her to play golf and even went to pick up the ball for her.
The kind of guilt that was brewing in her heart was indescribable.
It felt as if she was repaying his kindness with revenge.
Selena’s eyes burned. She felt that she had gone too far.
If Eric really could not keep his eyeballs, what could she do to make it up to him?
Soon, Mitchell rushed over.
“Ms. Nelson, how is it?”
Selena sniffled and shook her head.
“He’s still inside.”
“What happened? Mr. Ferguson has always been great at golfing.”
Selena lowered her head in shame.
Then, she told him everything that happened.
Mitchell was speechless.
He did not even know who to blame!
Obviously, Eric tried to chase Selena, but he failed miserably.
Seeing how guilty Selena was, Mitchell patted her on the shoulder.
“Don’t take it to heart. Mr. Ferguson won’t blame you.”
Selena was speechless.
It was because of this that she felt even worse!
Mitchell waited with her for more than half an hour.
However, he had to leave temporarily because there were many things to do at the office.
He had one phone call after another.
Thus, Mitchell looked at Selena.
“Ms. Nelson, I’ll leave Mr. Ferguson to you. Please call me if you need anything. Something happened in the office, and Mr. Ferguson isn’t around, so I have to go over and check it out in person.”
Selena nodded.
“Go ahead. I’ll be right here.”
Mitchell thanked her again and left in a hurry.
Twenty minutes later, Eric finally came out of the emergency room, but he was in a coma.
Selena ran over.
“Eric…”
As soon as she spoke, her tears came out uncontrollably.
She could not hold them back.
Eric’s right eye was wrapped in gauze, and his whole face looked grotesque with blood stains on the edges.
He looked indescribably miserable.
Such an excellent man suddenly became a disabled person.
How could she accept it?
Selena felt that she was his damned executioner.
She felt so guilty.
Selena hated crying the most, but she began to cry uncontrollably.
Seeing this, the doctor on the side wanted to say something. However, he did not say much because the patient’s condition was critical.
In the VIP ward, the doctor set up the equipment for Eric before he went out of the ward with everyone else.
After Selena went out, she could not help but ask, “Doctor, how is he?”
“Mr. Ferguson’s eyeball sustained a big impact, and the retinal nerve was injured, so he had symptoms of bleeding. This is not ideal and may affect his vision in the near future. He has to try not to strain his eyes. If his left eye’s vision is also blurred, he will probably need to remove his eyes… But we’ll need to look at his symptoms for further plans.”
Selena gasped, and her face turned pale.
It really happened…
Her heart sank at once.
It fell into an abyss.
The doctor told Selena a few precautions and left with the others.
All they had to do now was wait.
The patient’s reaction was relatively slow because of the anesthesia just now.
Thus, they had to wait for Eric to wake up before they could do other check-ups.
Selena sat there sluggishly and felt cold all over.
Eric was such a proud, reckless, high, and mighty person. Now, he was lying half dead on the hospital bed and waiting for the doctors to declare his future.
He must be so frightened and helpless!
However, when they were on the shuttle earlier, Eric was reassuring Selena not to be afraid.
Fortunately, she was not the one who was injured. Otherwise, she would have been in unbearable pain.
Selena could not figure out why Eric had to say these words to tease her heart when she had given up on him.
It made her firm mental defenses falter again.
However, Selena could not tell whether he was teasing her.
Perhaps he was just blurting out his sincerity.
Selena knew that Eric was the kind of person who refused to admit defeat because he would not allow others to go against his wishes.
At the same time, he would not allow others to hurt his people.
Was she important to him?
Selena covered her face and silently shook as warm tears overflowed from her eyes.
She did not understand.
Eric saved her from her dirty marriage.
He should be her salvation, but she dragged him to hell and made him like this.
Selena would rather Eric be the proud and reckless man for the rest of his life.
The more Selena thought about it, the sadder she became. She felt as if a boulder smashed onto her chest.
