Chapter 1560 Frankness
"Has no one ever taught you not to be so hard on yourself?"
For many things, even if you know it in your heart, it's better for everyone if you don't say it out loud.
Selena lowered her eyelashes lightly. "Hasn't Uncle told you what my relationship is with the people who wiped out your entire
Turner family?"
Patrick's knuckles made a heavy sound.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why Oscar had been cold to Selena before.
And he fully understood why Selena had been deliberately distancing herself from the Turner family.
After a long time, Patrick spoke up, "The Turner family doesn't have the habit of transferring anger, and you've already done
enough.”
In Selena's position, no one could have done better than her.
Selena's slender fingers gently brushed over her eyes. "But I also took over the identity and body of your real cousin... it's not fair
to her that the Turner family has accepted me."
Patrick seemed to be shaken, but he smiled, "Father askedto give you a message before I chere."
Selena looked up at him.
Patrick said, "Father said that becoming a daughter of the Turner family is not your fault. He even thanks you for giving the Turner
family's daughter a chance to continue living."
There was a flicker of emotion in Selena's eyes.
There seemed to be something more to Oscar's words... but it seemed like he was purely thanking her, helping that girl wash away
the injustice and stigma, and letting her life shine brightly.
While Selena was lost in thought, Patrick continued speaking, his voice tinged with sadness, "She's a kind girl. She hasn't blamed
any of the people who hurt her, let alone the person who helped her so much."
"You don't owe anyone anything, don't burden yourself with any guilt."
Selena rubbed her forehead with her hand, suppressing semotion, and smiled at Patrick. "Patrick, you can go back now."
Patrick observed her expression and saw nothing unusual, so he breathed a sigh of relief and brought Selena back to the Turner
family.
It had only been three days since the engagement banquet, and the festive decorations of the Turner family had not yet been
taken down.
Oscar had recovered most of his legs and was sitting in the hall. When he saw Patrick bring Selena in, he turned his head to look.
Selena smiled, "Uncle."
Oscar observed her expression for a moment before speaking, "There have been many unexpected guests in the capital recently,
and there have been smovements from the Shaw family. ‘Sacred Pearl' may reappear soon, so be careful recently."
Selena sat down across from Oscar and asked, "Uncle, have you seen Eden?"
Oscar nodded and said, "Yes, I have. The memories before he was twelve years old are a blank slate, and we still can't determine
whether it was an accident or intentional..."
Selena lightly tapped her slender fingers on the table and said, "But regardless, he's found my father's only clue, and we must
make him remember."
The underground city was a troublesmatter and a great one at that.
Oscar looked at her pensive expression and put down his water glass. "My advice is you should return to the central city."
Selena looked surprised and asked, "I thought you would be more anxious than me..."
After all, Callum was likely in the underground city, and the Turner family was more eager to find him than she was.
Oscar knew what she was thinking and spoke softly, "We've waited for over a decade, and waiting a few more months won't hurt."
"Judging by Mr. White's willingness to sacrifice the entire capital and not allow us to develop a vaccine for the underground city
virus, Divine Love will never let us rescue the underground city."
"You should understand better than anyone that the power of Divine Love cannot be overcby the capital city alone."
"Even if we were to conquer it, it would cat a great cost."
"You should return to your position in the central city and join forces with the capital city. It's the best way."
Selena had thought about this problem before.
She had been considering whether to seek revenge in the Empire or to go to the underground city to find Callum...
She just didn't expect that before she made up her mind, Oscar would already have handed her the ladder.
Selena met Oscar's dark eyes with her own black ones and asked, "Uncle, what are you worried about?"
Oscar stared straight at her and replied, "Just Mr. White alone almost caused chaos in the capital city. What do you think would
happen if he cout?"
Selena instantly understood what Oscar's plan was.
The power struggles in the Empire were unrelated to Divine Love, and even in critical moments, Divine Love might protect Selena
due to their relationship. But the underground city was that person's taboo.
Once Selena touches again and Callum can find her, it's uncertain for now, but that person will definitely show up.
The gap between Lillian or Selena and him seems insurmountable, like a group of immature cubs in front of him...
Selena smiled, "I got it, Uncle. Eden will stay in H Country and be taken care of by the Turner family."
It's necessary since he's the most important clue to finding Callum."
Oscar looked at her disappointed expression and comforted her, "Don't worry too much. Even though the Central City is making a
big move, they can't cause much trouble within the Capital City."
After all, Selena's face is not only exposed to her enemies but also to her family.
Selena smiled, "I caught the representative from the Central City, and now the Research Institute in the Capital City will directly
challenge the Central City Research Institute. We're waiting for their response now."
Beatrice is not only a noble lady but also a scholar at the Central City Research Institute.
If the Capital City Research Institute catches a scholar from the Central City Research Institute, it will surely attract the attention of
both sides.
At that time, more people will see her face.
If something happens to her suddenly, it will only increase suspicion about the cause of the Empress's death and set a foundation
for her future defense.
Oscar is a smart person who can naturally guess Selena's intentions. After he made a plan, he said, "Since you're back, stay longer.
Miss Riddle called this morning and said she will cto see you today."
After Selena confessed her identity, she felt relieved and nodded, "I got it, Uncle, go ahead with your business."
After Selena went upstairs to rest, Oscar went to Zone Six, and Patrick went to the Medical School. Shortly after, Hattie arrived by
car.
Selena was sitting in the study reading and then she heard footsteps. Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't told Hattie about
leaving the Capital City soon.
Selena put down her book.
Hattie guessed that Selena was reading, so she walked in quietly...
