---- Chapter 3 One hour later, Selena arrived at the hospital. 1 As soon as she reached the door of the ward, she saw Edmund carefully wiping Claire's face. His movements were gentle as if he were handling the most fragile thing in the world. His usually unfeeling eyes held a rare trace of tenderness. For amoment, Selena thought she saw Herman. He used to treat her the same way- gentle, affectionate , his eyes filled with love.
She couldn't help but call out, "Herman..." Edmund suddenly looked up and asked in a low voice, "Who are you calling?" Selena snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head. She masked her emotions by placing the thermal flask on the table. "No one. Here's the seafood risotto. Also, there's a document from the company that needs your signature.
