Chapter 386: Forever Gone
I reached for Jessie’s hand and held it as we sat side by side outside the clinic while we waited for news about Selena’s condition. I wasn’t sure if her hand was trembling in mine or if my hand was the one that was trembling. We sat together in silence as time seemed to crawl by.
In the end, Jessie and I were informed by one of the nurses that we were not allowed to visit Selena. When I asked her about Selena’s condition, all the nurse would say was that she needed time to rest to recover. I returned to Prince Leonard’s palace with a heavy heart and spent a sleepless night worrying about Selena.
“You should eat some food or else you’re going to be joining your friend at the clinic,” Prince Leonard said quite sternly as he stared directly at me from across the dining table.
He must have realized how I haven’t touched any of the food since our meal started. It felt wrong for me to eat when I knew that Selena was going through such a tough time. On top of that, I had completely lost all of my appetite and food was the last thing on my mind.
“I’m sorry. I’m just so worried,” I confessed honestly before pursing my lips tightly into a thin line.
As expected, I had heard no news or any update regarding Selena’s condition all throughout the night. I hoped that the lack of news might mean good news and that Selena was fine.
“I want to visit her,” I told the prince honestly before I hesitated.
I wasn’t sure if I would be allowed to see her even if I went to the clinic and then there was the risk that I might be getting in the doctor’s way of treating Selena which would just make everything worse.
“If you would like, I can call to ask about your friend’s condition for you,” the prince suggested after letting out a sigh.
