Chapter 234
After school let out in the afternoon, Selene strolled through the school gates. Across the street, a car from the Brimer family waited for her. Out of nowhere, someone who looked like an assistant popped up in front of her.
The person handed Selene a business card. “Miss Selene, hi there. I’m Mr. Kelvin’s assistant. He’s asked me to come and find you.”
Selene glanced at the card and sure enough, it bore the name of Kelvin’s assistant. “What does Mr. Kelvin want with me?”
“You’ll find out once you come with me,” the assistant replied, all respectful and polite.
After giving a quick word to the Brimer family’s driver, Selene followed the assistant to the Bryant family’s estate.
At the Bryant family’s guesthouse, the sound of crying and sobbing filled the air.
“Daddy, it hurts so much,” Jenny cried, clutching her arm. She was in unbearable pain.
It had been days, and there was no sign of improvement. The doctors had said if they couldn’t find a better solution soon, amputation might be the only option.
“Stop crying!” Jordan snapped, his face dark with frustration. Though he felt sorry for Jenny, he was more annoyed. If she hadn’t insisted on crossing Séraphine, they wouldn’t be in this mess. Like a dog with its tail between its legs, he had to come to Cedarvale.
“When is that miracle doctor you mentioned coming?” Jordan turned to Kelvin.
“I’ve already sent someone to fetch them,” Kelvin responded, his expression cold and impatient.
Jordan held his tongue, but beneath his lowered gaze was a deep–seated bitterness. If hist family hadn’t been ruined, he wouldn’t have had to return to this small town of Cedarvale, let alone cater to Kelvin’s whims.
Twenty minutes later, the assistant brought Selene to the guesthouse. As soon as she stepped in, she noticed Jenny still crying and Luna lying weakly on the bed. Her brows knitted together in concern. “What can I do for you, Mr. Kelvin?” Selene asked.
“Selene, I hate to bother you, but these are my two nieces. They’ve both been hurt, and I was hoping you could take a look,” Kelvin explained.
Jordan’s expression shifted slightly. He knew who she was–the second lady of the Brimer family in Maple Grove. But what was she doing in Cedarvale?
“Let me have a look,” Selene said.
Selene began with Luna. The girl’s symptoms were so bizarre that even Selene couldn’t immediately figure out what was wrong. She frowned, stood up, and moved on to examine Jenny’s injury.
The moment she touched Jenny’s arm, Jenny let out a blood–curdling scream. “Ah! It hurts! Can’t you be more gentle?”
“Quiet, Jenny!” Jordan barked. He was grateful that Selene was willing to help and didn’t want Jenny’s outburst to drive her away. Jenny, remembering past reprimands, dared not make any more noise. Despite the pain, she bit her lip and endured it. “How did they end up like this?” Selene asked, genuinely puzzled by the strange conditions of the sisters.
“Is there any way to treat them?” Jordan asked, his voice tinged with embarrassment. He didn’t want to admit it was because they had crossed Séraphine.
Glancing at Luna on the bed, Selene’s face showed concern. “My medical skills Luna’s pulse was steady, but something was very wrong internally.
ve their limits. I can’t determine why she’s like this.”
Jordan turned even paler and pointed to Jenny’s arm. “What about her arm? Is there no way to fix it?”
“I might be able to heal her arm, but there will be side effects. In the future, she won’t be able to use it for heavy lifting, and even holding a fork might be tough,” Selene warned.
