Chapter 8Â
The doctor that Axel found applied ointment to me.Â
“Hiss.”Â
The sound of me hissing made Reagan and Axel look as if they were about to kill someone. “You can’t even do something as simple as applying ointment properly?”Â
The doctor’s hands shook with fear.Â
I pretended to glare at Axel and Reagan.Â
“Selina…..”Â
“Mom…”Â
The father and son immediately looked at me pleadingly.Â
I sighed helplessly. “Alright, alright. The doctor is helping me. Don’t do that.”Â
After I calmed them down, the doctor relaxed significantly.Â
After the examination and cleaning were completed, he slowly said to Axel, “Mr. Grey, Mrs. Grey is alright. There’s nothing wrong with the baby she’s carrying either. However, the injury on Mrs. Grey’s hand is quite serious. I’ll find the best medicine and try my best to leave no scars.”Â
Axel remained quiet. Only I knew that this was a sign of his anger.Â
Levi, the chief culprit, was a little nervous. After all, he never expected the girl who had always simped over him to become theÂ
wife of his boss.Â
Seeing Axel so intimate with me, he felt a nameless sense of rage. That vague possessiveness reached its peak, but he had to contain his temper for the future of Salfolk Group.Â
Axel stood beside me, exuding authority as he stared at the guests. He looked so serious, but I found him cute. Reagan, who looked exactly like him, was also standing next to me. The more I watched, the more amused I was.Â
“I hope you’ll tell me what happened over these past few days. If I investigate it myself, those present may end up miserably,”Â
Axel warned.Â
It was a blatant threat.Â
Everyone present had attended the banquet to gain Axel’s favor. It was not a wise move to offend Axel for Levi.Â
Flustered, Levi spoke first. “Mr. Grey, this is all a misunderstanding. As Selina’s fiancé, I just went over to her to catch up on old times. Who knew that an accident would happen?”Â
Levi spoke with a hint of jealousy that he never noticed. Mentioning our past engagement to Axel would be suicide at a time like this, but men had a strange need to win. It was what Levi was like.Â
Even if he dumped me, I had to return to his side as long as he needed me. I also had to remain faithful to him while we were apart. He always thought I would love him as always.Â
Levi did not notice Axel’s expression, but I heard the sound of the glass in Axel’s hand cracking.Â
Levi continued to add, “You probably know how much Selina loved me back then. Isn’t it normal for us to catch up on old times?Â
The glass in Axel’s hand shattered into pieces. Looking at his bloody hand, I regretted it.Â
“Levi, don’t flatter yourself. If you continue to sow discord between me and Axel, don’t blame me for not going easy on you. WasÂ

I being too kind to you just now? Axel is the only one I will ever love!” I scolded Levi while helping Axel deal with his wounds.Â
Levi looked hurt and slowly replied, “Selina, I know you resent me, but Rosalie and I have divorced. My son will also call you Mom. You married him to piss me off, right? I don’t mind. Divorce him and we’ll get married.Â
“What Axel can give you, I can tooÂ
after I put in my best effort. As long as you’re willing to come back to be a nanny for my son and take care of him, he’ll accept you. If you don’t like Rosalie, I’ll ask her to leave.”Â
