Novel Drama Chapter 2571 The Sudden Ring
Chapter 2571 The Sudden Ring
Why was it that Eric did not feel like Selena was his even when she was lying beside him?
Eric did not sleep all night.
The next day, when the doctors from the specialist team came to check on Eric, Selena was still asleep.
Eric could see the light source out of the corner of his eye last night.
Thus, the specialists had to know of this change in vision.
Two hours later, the team of specialists breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mr. Ferguson, your eyes have improved after just one month. This is a very good sign. You can use your left eye properly, and the blood clot in your right eye has begun to dissipate. You’ll probably regain your eyesight in a few days. However, your right eye socket still needs proper care. You must not bump into anything hard. Otherwise, the fracture will worsen.”
Eric nodded slightly.
The specialist smiled. “By the way, where is Ms. Nelson? She must be very happy if she knows this!”
Every time before the consultation, Selena would wander around and worry about this and that.
Naturally, everyone had a deeper impression of her.
Eric lowered his eyes and said in a light voice, “She’s still sleeping.”
Everyone looked at each other.
It was hard not to let their imaginations run wild.
Soon, Selena woke up at 10:30 am.
She slept until now.
Fortunately, she slept soundly, so she recovered her energy.
Selena yawned. There was no one around.
She had always known that Eric had an endless supply of energy.
Selena was in a spaghetti-strap dress. She did not know how Eric fumbled around and helped her to get changed, but it was not surprising.
She went to the bathroom to wash her face.
When her fingers touched her face, she suddenly felt something cold.
She looked down and saw a beautifully designed and sparkling diamond ring on her ring finger.
A diamond ring?
Selena frowned. She could not remember when she wore it on her hand.
She did not drink much last night, so she was conscious.
Was it this morning?
Selena’s heart suddenly sank.
The gifts Eric gave her included luxury bags, diamond necklaces, and other things. Although she did not use them often, they were all kept in the dressing room of the villa.
Selena admired those things but never used them.
There was no occasion for her to show up with jewelry that was worth millions of dollars.
Selena paused, took off the ring, put it on the table outside, and went back to continue washing up.
She had a clear understanding and self-awareness.
Selena told herself that she did not want to think about marriage.
If she did not expect too much from Eric, then she would not be disappointed.
This was what she learned.
She would not take Eric’s actions seriously, whether it was because of a whim or because he wanted to make it up to her.
When she finished washing up, she changed her clothes and planned to go out.
The bar would close soon, and the staff placement during this time still needed to be dealt with.
Although Chaz would handle everything, Selena should at least show her face.
She was leaving with her bag when Eric came in.
His left eye recovered very well, so taking off his special dark sunglasses did not affect his sight at all.
The specialists replaced his sunglasses with a special lens.
On the surface, there was no difference between the lenses.
However, Eric’s left eye could already see clearly, but his right eye could not.
Thus, he wanted to surprise her with a smile on his lips.
When he saw that Selena was about to go out, he was slightly taken aback.
Selena walked over and took his arm casually.
“Where’s your cane?”
She thought that he had forgotten again.
However, Eric grabbed her hand accurately and rubbed her fingers a few times. His tone deepened.
“Where’s the ring?”
He noticed that Selena’s expression was slightly stiff.
Selena wanted to withdraw her hand, but he did not give her the chance.
He used some strength and asked again.
“Where’s the ring? Is the size not suitable? Or do you not like the style? Shall I ask someone to order another one for you?”
Selena wanted to brush off this topic with an excuse.
As a result, Eric asked so outrightly that she could not brush off the topic.
She twitched the corner of her mouth, withdrew her hand, rubbed her wrist, and went to the table to take the ring. Then, she returned it to him by stuffing it into his hand.
“Here’s the ring, Mr. Ferguson. I’ll like it more if you give me other kinds of jewelry.”
Selena did not say much, but she looked indifferent.
She thought that Eric could not see her.
In fact, her expression fell into his eyes.
That kind of indifference made his heart clench tightly, making it difficult to breathe.
Eric held the ring tightly and wished that it would sink into his flesh.
He finally tasted the consequences of his mistake.
Eric spoke with difficulty.
“Why, what’s wrong with the ring?”
Selena glanced at him, then she walked aside to pick up the phone that she left behind.
“I don’t like it, so don’t give me rings again. I won’t accept it even if you do.”
She walked over. When she was in front of him, she settled her tone.
“I’m going to the bar and will be back later. You can rest first, and you don’t have to wait for me to eat.”
Selena was just about to walk out when Eric grabbed her hand and insisted on getting to the bottom of this question.
“Why don’t you like it?”
Selena was annoyed. She was nice to him because he was disabled, but she did not forget why they broke up last time.
She gave him space, but why did he insist on making her upset over and over again?
Selena took a deep breath and controlled her emotions.
“Mr. Ferguson, what’s our relationship? Don’t you understand what it means to give someone a ring?”
Her voice turned cold.
Eric’s heart was empty. He panicked a little, but he did not know where it came from.
His voice was rough. “I know. I…”
I want to marry you, so I want to give you a ring…
“Since you’re aware, I think it’s better for us to avoid this topic. There’s no need to pretend that everything is fine. We won’t talk about marriage. We’ll just stay together when we’re happy and break up when we’re not. Isn’t that great? You also agreed to it and taught me this concept. So, let’s not test each other’s bottom line. You don’t have to test me either. I swear that I have absolutely no intention of marrying you. You can rest assured. Similarly, if you want to get married, you just need to tell me, and I won’t pester you anymore.”
Selena’s words made Eric’s face turn pale.
Even his lips turned white.
Selena looked at him and did not say anything. She just walked past him to go downstairs and left.
She believed that she made herself clear this time. That way, Eric would not do something crazy like that again.
The ring was so surreal, and Selena did not want it.
It was actually better like this.
When Selena went downstairs, she told the servant, “Don’t wait for me for lunch. I’m eating out.”
Selena’s car was parked in the yard by Eric’s driver. That way, it was more convenient for her to drive. novelbin
Eric mentioned many times that she could change her car or pick another car from the garage, but Selena rejected him.
If she drove an expensive car, she had to be careful not to knock into anything because she would not be able to afford repairs.
Selena preferred driving her own car so she could drive at ease.
