Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

Selene hesitated for a while and nodded. “Yes. That could work.”

“Selene!” Austin said anxiously. “You can’t work in your current state. You’ll get other chances to work with the brand.”

Mike smiled and looked at Selene expectantly.

“My answer is yes,” Selene said, looking at Mike. “Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”

Mike nodded, and they shook hands. He then walked back to his car and drove away.

“Is this really that important? More important than your health?” Austin asked, disapproval clear in his voice.

Selene glanced at Austin and nodded with a smile.

Mandy also smiled happily. “If Selene could work with JU Brand, we could make enough money for a bigger store.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Austin snorted unhappily. “Clint is so good to you. He saved your life and put your own life in danger. Now he’s in hospital but still called Mike to ask for a second chance for you.”

“I agree. He really is great.” Mandy echoed.

Selene didn’t reply but changed the topic, “Mandy, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our supplier and have them send the fabrics to my apartment.”

Mandy nodded.

When Selene and Austin went back to the hospital, Selene stopped Austin in the corridor. “Could you please grab my laptop, a pen, and my notebook and bring them here to the hospital?” She whispered.

“Is it urgent?”

“Yes.” Selene grinned.

Austin looked at her pleading eyes for a few seconds, then left reluctantly.

Though Selene felt much better than before, she was still weak and felt a little dizzy after having walked for a while.

Selene stepped on the lift and leaned against the cold wall. Then, her mind started clearing up a little.

Selene had gone through a life-and-death situation, and she was thankful for surviving but scared after the whole ordeal. However, she knew that life was full of surprises, and she valued her own.

She started considering making peace with Clint and giving their relationship one more chance.

It was not only because he rescued her but also because he cherished the true love between them.

He was different from ‘that’ woman who was once her mother.

Selene hated her, but she had strong feelings for Clint.

After giving it some thought, she felt more enlightened about the topic.

She then went out of the lift and walked towards Clint’s room.

She knew that his room was just next to hers. She walked very slowly to give herself time to think carefully about her words.

Finally, she reached his room. She took a deep breath and tried to put her mind at ease.

The door was half-closed, and Selene put her hand on the door to push it.

However, she stopped herself when she heard a voice from the inside.

“Anne. Clint has already told you that Selene’s well now. And you’ve read her health report.”

“I want to check on her myself.”

“The doctor said that Selene has gone out. When she’s back, we can go and take a look. Clint, what did the police say?”

“They went to check the security footage from the bank. I also spoke to the bank, and they told me that this kind of case is not difficult to solve.”

“Why did they set fire to the store? If Selene had died, I don’t think I’d want to live anymore.”

“Mom. Don’t speak like this. She’s fine now.”

Selene, who stood outside silently, suddenly fell into an icy mood.

But when Clint calls the woman “mom”, it makes her come back to reality.

The woman who abandoned her was her biological mother and Clint’s stepmother. This was something she could never change.

She turned around and walked to her room.

She lay on her bed for an undetermined amount of time until, eventually, someone knocked at the door. “Selene, are you back? Why did you lock the door?”

Selene stayed silent.

Clint knocked at the door again.

He thought for a while, then went back to his room.

“Is Selene back?” Anne asked worryingly.

“Not yet. Mom, Dad, please go home. Selene’s well now. But she’s not in the best of moods after the accident. Who knows how she will react if she sees you.”

Anne and Bradley looked at each other and nodded. “Okay. We’ll go.” Anne said. ‘If anything happens to Selene, please let me know.” She paused for a few moments. “You should take care of yourself, too.”

Bradley stood up and patted Clint on the shoulder, “Take care of yourself, and don’t stress Selene out.”

Clint nodded.

After they left, Clint went back to Selene’s door and knocked. “Selene, I know you’re back.” He then paused and added. “They’re gone.”

Seconds later, the door opened, and Selene appeared in front of him with a blank look on her face.

Clint smiled embarrassedly. “It’s good that you locked the door. It’s noisy outside.”

The truth was that they both knew the real reason why Selene had locked the door. But they chose not to mention it.

Selene simply nodded. “Yes. It was too noisy, so I locked it.” She whispered.

Additionally, they were in a VIP ward, which was very quiet.

Selene stepped aside so Clint could enter, then closed the door behind him.

He looked at her from head to toe. “How are you feeling?”

“I’ve eaten some food and went for a walk. Now I’m much better.” She whispered.

Clint looked like he was about to say something but stopped himself.

Selene sat on her bed and looked at Clint, whose hand and head were covered with burns. Some of the burns were bandaged, but the less serious ones were not.

“What about you?” Selene whispered.

“I’m fine. Nothing serious.” He said, pointing at his bandages.

Selene felt strange whispering all the time. So, she took out a pen and paper and started writing. “Thank you for calling JU Brand. I met Mike. He gave me a week to design three dresses.”

Clint smiled slightly at first but then gave her a worried look. “Can you finish them in a week? I know it’s a great opportunity, but your health should come first.”
