Chapter 1438 Waking Up
Lady Lauren knew she was blaming herself and comforted her, "When Selena wakes up, remember to apologize to her."
Leia sniffled and walked upstairs to check on Selena.
Selena woke up the next day at noon.
Lady Lauren was by her side and helped her sit up as soon as she opened her eyes. "How are you, Selena? Do you feel any
discomfort anywhere?"
Selena raised her hand to touch her chest.
The pain that had threatened to tear her apart before had disappeared, as if it had never existed.
But Selena didn't feel happy about it. Instead, there was an indescribable sense of loss.
She rubbed her forehead and said, "Thank you, Madam. I'm fine."
Lady Lauren looked at Selena's listless expression, wanted to say something, but swallowed it back and stood up. "You've slept for
a day. I'll go get you something to eat."
After Lady Lauren left, Selena picked up her phone from the table and dialed Black Crow and White Crow's number.
Shortly after, Black Crow and White Crow walked in one after the other.
Selena had already changed into clothes and was sitting on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window. She didn't turn around when
she heard the commotion and only asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Although Selena was not in good health, she didn't have any serious illnesses. If she were still the Miss Riddle of the Riddle family,
the pain from last night would have been enough to take her life.
Black Crow glanced at White Crow.
White Crow told the truth, "We can't figure out the cause for now."

Selena picked up a strand of hair beside her cheek with her slender fingers and spoke in a tone that didn't reveal any emotions.
"So, does that mean | might have the ssituation in the future?"
White Crow's answer was even more concise, "Maybe."
There was silence for a while.
After a long time, Selena asked again, "If you can't find the cause, you must have a guess in your hearts, right?"
White Crow was about to speak when Selena suddenly turned around and stared sharply at Black Crow's face. "Black Crow, you tell
me."
Black Crow hesitated for a moment before saying, "... Maybe the 'Divine Love' organization has cup with snew harmful
tricks again."
This was the phrase White Crow had taught him before they entered.
Selena's eyelashes trembled, and it was unclear if she believed him or not. "Why do you say that?"
Black Crow replied, "... Last night, not only were you affected, but your man was affected even worse than you."
Selena lowered her eyelashes and after a moment said, "I understand, you guys can go back to what you were doing."
Black Crow and White Crow exchanged a glance and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
They had talked this far, but Selena hadn't asked about Osvaldo's situation... Was she planning to break up with him?
Black Crow and White Crow had no intention of interfering with Selena's personal love life.
If Selena liked Osvaldo, then they approved of him.
Of course, if Selena decided to go back to Stanley, they would be even happier.
After making sure the young girl was not seriously injured, Black Crow and White Crow returned to the Capital University
laboratory.
They were at the final stages of the underground virus vaccine, and if it wasn't Selena who was in trouble, no one could make them
leave.
A few minutes after Black Crow and White Crow left, Lady Lauren walked in with a tray in her hands.
On the tray was a bowl of fragrant and thick porridge and a few appetizers.
Selena watched as Lady Lauren put the things on the table and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Lady Lauren looked at the melancholy expression on the girl's face and sighed softly.
As a woman and an experienced one at that, she could probably guess what Selena was thinking at the moment.
A nineteen-year-old girl, experiencing love for the first tand being so loved by Osvaldo, made her taste the best of love.
However, the bitterness of love was also experienced for the first time, and Selena couldn't help feeling lost and confused.
She did care about Osvaldo, but she didn't know how to face him.
Lady Lauren looked at Selena, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Selena, my son... has been tasting drugs since he was a
child."
Selena looked up in shock, as if she hadn't understood the meaning of Lady Lauren's words.
Lady Lauren's eyes were filled with bitterness, and her tone was tinged with a hint of heartache. "Osvaldo was always a child who
was different from normal children. When other children were still cuddling with their mothers and being cute, he had already
learned to be independent. When | wanted to hold him, he would get upset."
"When other children fell and got hurt or sick, they would cry and make a fuss, but he wouldn't. Except for when he was born and
cried once, he never cried again from childhood to adulthood."
"Other children would have toys they wanted, hobbies, people they wanted to be close to, and they would get angry when they
were unhappy and laugh when they were happy, but he wouldn't..."
"I took him to see a psychologist, and the doctor said my son isn't sick, he's just like that by nature."

With a high IQ, exceptional talent, mental resilience, both parents, and a strong background... he was born at the top of the human
pyramid and passed with flying colors.
That's what those psychologists said about Osvaldo during his childhood.
Lady Lauren still remembers the stunning yet pitying look those people gave when they said those words.
He was too perfect, to the point where he couldn't be happy or sad, didn't feel love or hate, didn't even know how to cry or laugh,
let alone the desires and emotions that normal people have.
He lived like a machine, following a set pattern. Nothing and nobody could truly move his emotions, he didn't even know why he
was alive...
At this point, Lady Lauren's eyes turned red.
Selena listened intently, feeling a touch of emotion in her heart.
Lady Lauren continued speaking, her expression unclear whether she was happy or scared, "But things changed when he was
twelve."
She looked into Selena's eyes, her tone extremely gentle, "The year when he turned twelve, he experienced a kidnapping."
"Although he was rescued later, until now, his father and | still don't know what he went through during that kidnapping."
"I asked him, but he only said it was nothing."
"But since then, my son has changed," Lady Lauren's eyes revealed a hint of joy, "Although it was a very small change, it was
enough.”
"He learned to daydream. Whenever he was alone, he would always be lost in thought, as if missing someone. Occasionally, he
would unconsciously search for something..."
"On his twelfth birthday, he spoke for the first tto my husband, asking for a birthday gift."
A child who had never asked anyone for anything suddenly spoke out... what did he want?
Selena widened her eyes slightly, her heart beating inexplicably unbalanced.
At this moment, Lady Lauren's expression was indescribable, with a layer of something like joy and sadness in her eyes, "He asked
for..."
