Chapter 1722: Evil Will Be Repaid
When Selena was brought back to the estate by Osvaldo, Lauren and Benjamin had already arrived.
Looking at her son whom she hadn't seen in a long time, Lauren's eyes turned red as she stared for a while before shifting her gaze to Selena.
At first glance, she saw the bandages wrapped around Selena's hand and despite the light makeup, her pale complexion couldn't be concealed.
Lauren immediately walked over and asked, "What happened to Selena?"
Selena had just married Osvaldo yesterday but today she was injured like this...
She reached out to hold onto Selena but Osvaldo spoke up first. "Selena is injured. Be careful."
Not only was her hand injured but there were more serious injuries on other parts of her body.
Especially the wound on her stomach which even affected internal organs. She needed some time to recover properly.
After giving instructions, Osvaldo handed over Selena's intact right hand to Lauren before walking towards Benjamin with his head held high. Father and son left together.
Watching Osvaldo's back as he left, Selena opened her mouth wanting to say something but Lauren smiled first. "Don't worry about it too much, he just has something he wants to talk about with Osvaldo."
Feeling apologetic towards Lauren, Selene looked at her hesitantly. "Madam..."
If it wasn't for her then Osvaldo wouldn't have been hurt or gone missing...
Lauren waved it off and led Selene over to sit down at a nearby table before speaking softly,"As a husband protecting his wife is what should be done so you don't need feel guilty. If he didn't protect you well enough then that's when he deserves punishment!"
Seeing that Selena still felt downcast about everything, Luaren chuckled,"Besides, I'm used to it. Osvaldo left me when he was twelve years old and I didn't see him again until he turned twenty. I only occasionally received phone calls from him reporting in."
"Compared to those eight years, one year is nothing," she said.
"The most important thing is that they kept it from me at first because they didn't want me to worry. I only found out about it after half a year had passed, and I wasn't worried for long."
Although she spoke like this, Lauren and her son were very close. How could she not notice anything when suddenly losing contact with him and even Selena's phone calls couldn't get through?
She only said these things to comfort Selena.
Looking at Selena's pale face, Lauren lovingly patted her hand. "Let's not talk about unhappy things. Selena has married Osvaldo now and from now on they are truly husband and wife. It won't be long before I can hold my grandchildren..."
"When you left, you promised me that when you came back again, I would be able to hold my grandson..."
Selena was amused by this and finally relaxed after being tense all day. She began talking with Lauren.
The two beautiful women hadn't seen each other in a long time so they talked for a while until Leia came over."Madam, Young Master says that you have an injury on your body so you shouldn't tire yourself out too much. Let's go inside and rest."
Selena smiled at the young girl whom she hadn't seen in a year as she followed Lauren into the hall.
The hall was decorated very festively; Osvaldo's brothers were all there.
Even Dante sat silently in the corner.
As soon as Luke saw Selena he whistled loudly. "Mrs Anderson! Long time no see!
Selena smiled as Leia handed her some juice then raised her glass towards Osvaldo's brothers across the room before Luke finished his drink saying. "We've been waiting too long for this meal..."
Fortunately it had finally arrived.
Osvaldo walked up to Selena and gently wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close to him.
Selena looked up at the man and smiled slightly.
-
Seven days later. Selena's injuries had finally healed enough for her to move freely. She made all the necessary arrangements and boarded a plane with Osvaldo, heading towards the underground city.
On the plane, Selena listened as Leia recounted everything that had happened in the capital over the past year.
"The truth about Nevaeh's death was revealed six months ago. Christ and Mrs. Erica testified in court themselves, and..." Leia paused for a moment before cautiously glancing at Selena. "And there was also... Selena, right? She was the key witness who saw Daphne and Maddox kill Nevaeh with a hammer."
Christ could only testify that he had seen five-year-old Selena at the Riddle Family's house once before.
Erica may have accidentally seen Nevaeh before she died but she certainly didn't witness her murder scene; otherwise as a police officer she would have intervened immediately.
The most likely scenario is that Erica only became suspicious after seeing something related to Nevaeh after her death.
These two people can only prove that fifteen years ago Nevaeh brought five-year-old Selena back to The Riddle Family's house but...
Although she was only five years old at that time, it is clear from how Callum went out of his way to erase his daughter's memory of what happened that day that Selina must have witnessed something important-making her the true eyewitness.
Regarding her mother's death, Selena of the Turner family, despite her kindness, must summon the courage to seek revenge. Most importantly, with the support of the Turner family behind her, she is no longer a helpless orphan. She will do everything in her power to recover those memories and speak out about the truth herself, completely shattering all of Maddox and Daphne's deceitful excuses and denials and sending them straight to hell. Leia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Selena didn't show any unusual emotions. "Madam was right on target. It was indeed... the Miss from the Tumer family who went to court herself and revealed the truth about those two old coots who killed Nevaeh."
"It wasn't just Daphne and Maddox involved in this matter, Kiera was also involved
"After news spread back to the capital that Callum had died, Kiera became even more resentful towards Nevaeh. She hid within The Riddle Family with something she had obtained from Callum himself before he died-using Daphne as a pawn - deceiving Nevaeh by saying that The Riddle Family had information regarding Callum."
"Nevaeh refused to believe that her beloved husband had passed away, coupled with thinking that Daphne was actually her biological mother while still retaining some sense of morality left within herself led them both back home."
"Afterwards... with Maddox's and Daphne's help, Kiera poisoned both Nevaeh and five-year-old Miss Turner."NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
The rest is quite clear.
Callum did return home after all.
He just returned too late.
He saved his poisoned wife and daughter at The Riddle Family estate.
Kiera was determined for Neveah to die by poisoning so it must have been extremely malicious poison used.
Callum somehow managed temporarily stabilize Nevaeah's condition then took his dying daughter into central city where he used "God's Light" (a mystical force)to swap souls between Selena (who almost died due high fever) and his daughter before passing away himself.
