Rosalynn, gazing upon her pallid features, inquired with an icy tone, “Was it you who orchestrated the
theft of my jade pendant?”
Selina, attempting to sit up, had her attention seized at the question.
“I am at a loss regarding your accusation.”
Rosalynn was aware she wouldn’t confess, so she didn’t anticipate any revelations from her.
She slipped the needles into her pocket, rose, and gazed down at her.

It was fruitless to argue with Selina.
As Rosalynn departed, Selina’s hands balled into fists, her gaze seething with loathing.
What the hell was that attitude?
Why was she still alive?
The door swung open, and Gail entered.
Quickly shedding her malevolent expression, Selina feigned despair, squeezing out a few tears, and
called out Gail softly.
Gail approached the bed, exhaling a heavy sigh.
“You’re awake. How do you feel? Are you in any pain?”
Selina cried, embracing her, tears streaming.
Gail’s expression was a mixture of emotions as she comforted Selina, allowing her to vent her feelings.

Selina halted her tears, her gaze dropping as she pondered her answer.
Moments later, she looked up, eyes brimming with tears, and confessed, “I really didn’t know. I just
spoke of Rosalynn to my father on some casual talks. He must have noticed the resemblance in the
photo and grown suspicious. He told me nothing. I just got to know that he had discreetly sent
Rosalynn away.”
Gazing at her woeful face, Gail recalled their shared past and chose not to delve deeper.
With a sigh, she smoothed back Selina’s hair.
“Selina, you were like a daughter to me, yet your father’s actions are inexcusable. Rest now. You’ll
leave this house once you’ve recovered.”
Hearing Gail’s words, despair once more settled in Selina’s heart.
