Chapter 94 Selena is indeed not as sensible as Alice

James dreamt of Barbara Fair, his ex-wife and Selena’s mother. When he woke up, he was filled.

with guilt.

= it was

because her death anniversary had just passed, that’s why he had such a dream, and

Raymond is indeed outstanding, but if his daughter doesn’t like him, then it’s pushing her into a

pit. To be fair, Selena is not as mature as Alice.

He has never worried about her from childhood to adulthood.

But he now sense the ever-growing mental gap between him and his daughter.

A hint of anger flashed in Beatrice’s eyes. As one grows older, they become more compassionate. In the past, if she encouraged James with a few words, he would listen.

But now is the time when he is weak, coupled with the recent anniversary of his ex-wife’s death, he may be thinking too much in the moment.

Beatrice never won against that woman before, and now she definitely won’t let her daughter ride on her head.

“Honey, don’t overthink it. You’ve been good to Selena. The main issue is that she has an unpleasant personality. Look at how Mrs. Montague treats us. If Selena stood up for herself a bit, Mrs. Montague wouldn’t have been so disrespectful.”

James thought of Catherine and coughed as he covered his mouth. Catherine’s words were indeed cruel, but the Fair family had nothing to say about Selena and Raymond’s marriage being for three billion dollars in financing.

Catherine looked down on their family and looked down on his daughter, which is why she spoke. so harshly.

“Honey, Alice truly cares about you. If she wasn’t genuinely unwell, she probably would have come to see you long ago. I haven’t mentioned your hospitalization to her. Nick just called and said you. should rest more, not to worry about the company’s affairs. You’ve already assigned someone to handle it, and he will learn more.”

James’s complexion improved significantly. Alice and Nick were indeed more mature than Selena. Selena was too independent, to the point that it often made him as a father feel like he had no

presence.

Chapter 94 Selena in indeed not an sensible as Alice

Selena really isn’t as mature as Alice.

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps could be heard at the door. Selena had returned and coincidentally overheard this statement. James suddenly felt embarrassed, his expression changing repeatedly.

But Selena lowered her eyelashes and placed the nitritional meal on the nearby counter.

Dad, are you hungry? You should eat something first.”

James opened his mouth, wanting to explain himself, but realized he had no way to explain it and could only sigh.

“Okay.”

After taking a spoonful of porridge, he asked, “When can I be discharged from the hospital?”

Selena had already discussed with the doctor, not to mention James’s condition to anyone other than her. Since they had decided against surgery for now, they might as well let him peacefully complete this year in the hospital.

“The doctor suggests you rest in the hospital for two weeks.”

“Two weeks is not acceptable. The company has a pile of matters for me to handle, and you know that we are about to begin the second round of financing. It’s crucial not to be careless at this

time.”

Selena felt an inexplicable anger. If he had come to the hospital earlier when he wasn’t feeling well, it wouldn’t have reached the late stage of liver cancer.

“Dad, what’s more important, your health or the company?”

James noticed that Selena’s mood was off and decided not to say anything further. At the same

time, there was a hint of softness in her heart. Selena still cared about him as he was her father.

“Okay, I will convert all the meetings to online, and you can rest well in the hospital for the next

half month. Selena said.

Seeing the rare warmth between the father and daughter, Beatrice couldn’t help but grit her teeth, wanting to speak up.

“Do you even realize that it was you who made your father sick? If you can convince Raymond, do

we still deserve to be spoken to in that way by Catherine?!”

Chapter 94 Selena is indeed not as sensible as Alice

Selena didn’t want to argue with Beatrice in front of James anymore, as it would only make James

upset.

“Dad, you should rest well. Beatrice will accompany you here, and I will have the doctors contact me anytime in the next half month.”

Being ignored, Beatrice became angry, and was about to say something when she heard James say, “That’s enough, you don’t always have to replace trouble for no reason.”

This made Beatrice’s face stiffen, realizing that if she continued to be unreasonable, it would annoy James, so she let it go.

James looked at Selena, his tone gentle.

“I’m fine. I’ll stay in the hospital for the next half month. Selena, it’s been a long time since we had a chat. I’ve really neglected you these past two years. If you have time, come and see me

okay?”

Selena felt her eyes welling up with tears, afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would reveal her emotions. If James were still strong and healthy, she could argue with him and resent him all

she wanted.

But he only had a year left.

“Yeah, I’ll come often.”

After saying this, Selena left. When she reached the hospital downstairs, she felt a chill all over her body. Even though it was summer, this coldness seemed to penetrate every bone.

Meanwhile, at the Montague family estate, everyone was gathered together, having finished. dinner. Raymond stood up to leave, and the old master couldn’t help but hold him back and advise

him.

“Remember what your grandfather said and bring a gift when you visit James this week.”
