Chapter 85 Selena was quiet for a long time, and I didn't feel like starting a conversation as well. I just helped her blow dry her hair so we could go to bed early.

As I unplugged the hair dryer and set it aside, Selena caught the corner of my shirt. With a hurt look, she asked, "Hud, if we break up, will you find someone else?" Overcwith embarrassment, I struggled to confess to Selena that I was in a relationship. Instead, I averted my gaze and replied vaguely, "I... I don't know." After I placed the hair dryer back, she remained seated on my bed.

"Selena, it's getting late. You really should head back to your room and get srest." I approached her, hoping to persuade her to leave, but she refused.

Selena sat on the bed, hugging her legs. "Hud, I'm really scared. Can you stay here with me? I swear I'll just sleep and won't bother you with anything else. Please, I'm terrified of being alone. Please don't leavealone." I often felt frustrated with myself. I was in a committed relationship yet found myself entangled with my ex-wife. If I slept in the sbed with her, who would believe nothing was happening? Honestly, I wouldn't believe it either.

I sighed and firmly declined Selena's invitation to share a room. "Selena, it's over between us. We shouldn't share a room. If we were to sleep in the sroom and word got out, it would only invite gossip." Selena remained unconvinced by my words. "Why not? We've been together before, and this is my house. It's just the two of us here. If neither of us acknowledges what happened, who would ever find out that we slept together?" Although it made sense, I still couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt. With Selena refusing to leave, I realized I couldn't force her. Thankfully, the house was spacious with several guest rooms.

I sighed, feeling helpless. "You can sleep here. I'll take another room." As I turned to leave, Selena grabbed my clothes in a desperate attempt to stop me. "Why could you be there forin the hospital, but not now that I'm home? Are you still upset? "I've broken up with Zion and I don't love him anymore. Why can't you just forgive me? I know I messed up. I'm just a scumbag, an asshole. I keep falling for everyone I meet, and I'm not worthy of you." As Selena spoke, her hands trembled uncontrollably, and tears streamed down her face. She bit her lip, making a desperate effort to suppress her cries.

Gazing at Selena's hand, an unsettling feeling washed over me.

m couldn't help but question whether it had provoked her illness. This thought sent a wave of panic through my heart.

After spending nearly a month by her side in the hospital for treatment eventually got her discharged. If her condition worsened, and she had to return for treatment, all my efforts would be in vain. "Alright, I'll sleep with you. Please don't be sad. It's not good for your health."

Selena sniffled, her eyes swollen and red from tears. "You promised to sleep withtoday. What about tomorrow? You will stay withtomorrow, right? Hud, please. I don't want to sleep alone. I'm so scared. I really can't sleep by myself. Can you please stay with me?"
