"It's fine." Selena stopped him right away with her sign language. "I have some knowledge dealing with poison too. Let me solve it myself first."
"Okay then." Zayn nodded slightly. "Anything you need, just come and see me anytime."
"Thanks."
At that moment, Selena was shouting desperately internally. Please get lost now, all of you! I need my medicine!
"Then, I'll excuse myself first. It's late already." Zayn patted her shoulder gently. "Go to rest early."
Then, he turned to Jombo as well. "Grandpa, please go back to your room. Stop disturbing her."
With that, Zayn left the scene.
Staring at Zayn's back figure, Jombo felt something peculiar with him today. He seldom talks so nicely to me.
But Jombo soon cleared his thoughts as he shifted his gaze toward Selena. "He's right. We'll make it up to you."
"Thanks, Mr. Jombo." Selena expressed her gratitude with tears in her eyes.
"Mr. Giblo, you know about this too. Selena doesn't want anything. Her only hope is to get married to Zayn." Layon laid out a timely statement.
"Zayn and Selena have been getting along well. If it weren't for that woman, I suppose they would have already gotten engaged by now."
"You've mentioned this in the hospital." Jombo furrowed his brows. "Even though Zayn seems like a cold person, he has always placed great value in relationships. After all, that woman is the mother of his children. He won't be able to wipe that clean… And with his feelings toward her, I guess he'll get entangled with her no matter what. But since I'm back now, I'll keep an eye on him. Don't worry. I'll make sure to settle this marriage as soon as possible!"
"That's good then, that's good, " Layon nodded his head. "Let me accompany you out."
"It's fine. Please stay with Selena."
With that, Thompson pushed Jombo out of the room.
Back in the room, Selena immediately had the nurses lock the door. After that, they started pulling out the needle and applying the medicine to her face.
Her body trembled incessantly in agony as her tears flowed down uncontrollably. The pain was so extreme that her finger almost tore her clothes apart.
Layon was heartbroken looking at this scene. "Selena, I'm sorry you have to go through this. But I think Zayn's heart is still for you. Plus, Mr. Giblo has agreed to the marriage. I believe it'll come true soon."
Selena paid no attention at all to what he said, as she nervously observed her face in the mirror.
Almost half of her face had rotten, and the poison was still spreading. She recoiled in utter fear.
"It doesn't look good, Ms. Benday…" The nurse noticed nothing changed even after she applied the medicine. "Maybe we have waited for too long, or maybe the needle was too deep. It seems like the antidote is not working anymore."
"What? How could it be?" Layon's heart skipped a beat. "If your face got ruined, then Zayn will truly leave you for good. You're already mute, and now…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Selena cut a ferocious glare at him. He immediately changed his tone. "Selena, don't look at me like this. I'm just worried about you."
"All you care about is your family interests. You don't care for me at all, " Selena signed furiously.
"No… It's not like that…"
"That's enough." Selena had no mood to continue the conversation. "Please get in touch with Freya now. Ask her to get a few medicines from my laboratory…"
She wrote down the laboratory's name on a piece of paper and handed it to Layon. "Hurry!"
"All right, all right. I'll see to it immediately." Layon rushed out of the room.
"What now? The wound is too deep. If we don't treat it now, it will get worse, " The nurse reminded in an anxious tone.
"Continue to apply the antidote. Let's try to suppress it first."
As Selena spread the medicine directly on her face, the pain almost killed her. Right then, she recalled the look of Carla's face when the latter pierced the needle right into her face.
Carla Lierger, I swear I won't let you go just like this! I'm going to kill you!
