NovelEnglishChapter 90
“Selina, I have told you I’m not interested in your schemes and intrigues. Also, I’m not interested to be part of it as well. Well, I do
not wish to be like Beth.” “What if I can help you let Selden change his mind?” “What can you do?” Selina leaned forward and
lowered her voice. “Do you know how did Ava marry into the Radbury family?” “Well, I heard from Selden that she fell in love with
Damien at first sight since she was in high school. Afterward, she courted him for many years.” “Humph, love at first sight? That’s
a lie. She used dirty tricks instead. She drugged Damien in his wine so Damien did the ‘business’ in drunkenness. Afterward, it is
too late for everything that happened.” ”
“What?”
Kelly exclaimed in surprise. She had never expected Ava to be such a mean person. “I will help you if you are so eager for
Selden” Selena spoke softly. She pondered for a moment, “Um... Why are you helping me?” “Uh, well... Take it as a business
that brings benefit to both parties by lending a hand to each other.”
Anyway, Kelly was moved by the conditions offered by Selina. What she wanted to do was simple. Although it was a huge risk for
her, it could be done once and . for all.
“Won’t Selden come to you when Ava is no longer in this world?” Selina’s voice was soft but with affinity. After a long time, Kelly
finally said, “Uhm... let me think about it.”
Ava went to the hospital on the day that Selden was discharged. She was concerned for this guy to have to go home alone after
being discharged from the hospital, and it looked so pitiful.
However, Ava realized that she had too much thought after she arrived at the hospital.
Selden was the main core of the Orthopedics Doctor in this hospital and he was friendly, so almost all his colleagues from the
enter the ward as it was too crowded.
When she decided to go home alone silently, Selden noticed her and he walked through the crowd before he stood in front of
her.
“I knew you would definitely come today. I was slightly disappointed as I’m worried that you would not come over,” he said with a
smile to her.
“Here, this is a gift as a celebration.” Ava put the gift that she prepared into his hand, and he opened it immediately. It was the
latest electronic gadget which was suitable for gaming. “Wow, how did you know it? You’re indeed my best friend. I wanted to
buy this since last week!” “I think you are alright now. Your parents are also here, so I won’t be bothering you. I’ll take my leave.”
Ava said to him. “Hey, don’t go, my parents haven’t seen you for a long time. Let’s go in and greet them.” Selden took her arm
and forced her into the ward. Ava couldn’t refuse his kindness, so she had to go in and greet the Oakley. In fact, she was
reluctant to meet Selden’s parents. They were closed to each other during high school and they often studied together after.
classes. Even so, Mrs. Oakley thought they were in a relationship. Mrs. Oakley even handed her a cheque and asked her to
leave her son back then.
Ava felt so embarrassed as this kind of old-fashioned tactic from the drama was used on her.
Although the misunderstanding was resolved, Oakleys still criticized her and since then, she had never been to the Oakley
family’s house. “Mr. and Mrs, Oakley,” she smiled awkwardly as soon as she entered the ward. “It’s Ava. I haven’t seen you for a
long time. I heard that you’re married. Is it true?” Although Mrs. Oakley sounded friendly, there was still a sense of the gap
between them. “Yeah,” Ava answered. “I didn’t expect you to be so close to Selden since you are married. Does your husband
know about this?”
Ava was speechless for a moment. The sarcasm that lied in Mrs. Oakley’s words was the same as she had heard during high
smiling awkwardly. “Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?” Selden said immediately. “Did I say anything wrong? Selden,
you are also not sensible. Miss Nagel is now married, how others will feel as you are still being indiscreet as she was when you
were a child?” Obviously, Mrs. Oakley knew that Seldon was injured by suffering a slash for her. So, she had been resentful for a
long time. She continued, “The Oakley family is not ordinary. People will praise you for your brave deeds if they know the truth, if
they don’t, they might think that you have some kind of relationship with Miss Nagel. Although Miss Nagel does not come from
the legal wife of the Nagel family and she might not care for the reputation, but how would Miss Nagel’s husband think about
this?” Selden quickly stopped his mother from speaking. Since his wound didn’t heal completely, his rather harsh gesture had
affected the wound, so he felt the pain and it made him gasp.
Selden’s colleagues and friends in the ward became quiet for a while, and everyone looked at Ava.
Meanwhile, Ava’s face turned pale.
If she had known that she would be embarrassed for no reason, she would not have made a fool of herself.
“Mrs. Oakley, my husband and I feel grateful to Selden for saving our lives. So, as we heard that he is discharging from the
hospital, my husband specially asked me to prepare a gift to Mr. Oakley and you as a token of appreciation.” Ava took a deep
breath and said with a smile. Mrs. Oakley was stunned, “Huh? Appreciation?” “Of course we need to thank you. If Mr. and Mrs.
Oakley didn’t raise Selden well, he wouldn’t have stood up for justice. My husband and I do think that you both do have a good
way to educate a child.” Mrs. Oakley had nothing else to say as Ava had emphasized Damien as her husband for few times.
Everyone knew that Ava’s husband was Damien Radbury, the President of Radbury Group. Oakleys was a wealthy family too,
but there was a gap between Radbury Group and them. Soon after Ava walked out of the building, Selden caught up with her.
“Hey! You walked too fast. I still have something to say to you!” Selden was out of breath after taking a few steps as he just
recuperated from severe illness. “Why are you following me around? You mother will be criticizing again if she sees it.” “My
mother, she... well, she used to say such nasty words. Hence, I would like to apologize on behalf of her. Please don’t take it to
heart.” Ava shook her head, “Nah, I didn’t mind it.” . After all, she heard even more offensive words from Mrs. Oakley back then.
However, she never told Selden about it. Therefore, Selden had no idea the reason his mother had such an inexplicable hostility
to Ava.
