"If you had never intended to harm Venus, why did you mix her medicine with poison and feed it to her?" Carla questioned her.
"That wasn't poison, rather it was a type of medicine which only made her feel unwell, temporarily, " Selena explained anxiously, "If it were poison, I would not be able to make her well again so quickly…"
As she spoke, Selena crawled up to Zayn's feet, crying while making signs. "Zayn, I have saved you before. Please forgive me for this once. As for Venus, if not for me, something really bad could have happened to her."
"That was only because they took the medicine given by Ms. Lierger."
Freda was furious…
"After Mr. Giblo was poisoned by snake venom, Ms. Lierger immediately fed him her life-saving potion so he would not suffer any ill effects at all. As long as he recuperated for a period of time, the snake venom would naturally be ejected from his body.
"After that, Ms. Lierger sneaked into the hospital without telling anyone and fed Venus the potion as well. That was how she recovered so quickly. In order not to be discovered, we rushed over to the South Sea Hotel. Coincidentally, you arrived to treat Venus making everyone think that you were the one who healed her. That was ridiculous. If you could heal her, why couldn't you heal yourself? If I am not mistaken, there is still poison on your silver needle, isn't it?"
As she spoke, Freda took of Selena's mask. Sure enough, one side of Selena's face was so infected that it was horrifying to see.
"Oh, my goodness! Selena…"
Layon was anxious and worried when he saw Selena this way. Yesterday, the infection was only the size of a pea. Today, it had spread to cover her face.
"You can't live by committing sins." Zayn looked at Selena coldly, "When you try harming others, you harm yourself. This is your fate!"
"This is all?" Carla's fists cracked as she clenched them tight. "It's horrible enough she had harmed me so badly. Is this punishment enough for harming my daughter as well?"
"I had no intention of hurting Venus. It was just you!"
Selena glared at Carla with utter hatred in her eyes, gesticulating with intense emotion…
"We are both women. Why should I be the replaceable stand-in? I've done so much for the Giblo family. In order to please them, I've lowered myself to the level of soil; yet, Zayn has not even looked at me properly even once. As for you…? You go on and on to antagonize him; yet, he likes you so much. Your family and the Giblos are sworn enemies, so you should not have come back. In fact, you should have died two years ago. Then, I would have been Mrs. Giblo by now, and the three children would call me Mommy. We would be one happy family…"
"Stop dreaming!" Zayn interrupted her impatiently, "Even if she didn't come back, I won't marry you.
"Two years ago, when she had that mishap, I had already decided never to marry again. "If I ever get married, the bride can only be Carla!"
Hearing this, Carla's trembled slightly. Zayn has said it under such circumstances and in front of so many people. He has to be sincere.
She was very moved…
"Since you love her so much, why did you let me impersonate her two years ago?" Selena asked in a choked voice, "I was just an unloved daughter of a wealthy family, living in humiliation in a world of my own.
"Overnight, I was made Mrs. Giblo, adored and respected by everyone. Everywhere I went, relatives surrounded me and put me on a pedestal.
"Furthermore, from the time I was fifteen years old, I had started admiring you. In my dreams and fantasies, I wished to marry you many times. I really thought my dreams had come true.
"However, it was all just a falsehood.
"Since you never liked me or admired me, why did you give me hope? "Then, you pushed me to fall from heaven into hell with your own hands. "Why?"
