My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 157

Chapter 157: He’s An Acquaintance
“Because you are her brother. Selene is Ava, your lost sister,” he replied.

Kael thought Xavier might be playing tricks on him, so he tried to laugh it off. However, Xavier was never one for jokes and always got straight to the point. The solemn expressions on both his and Kace’s faces confirmed that they were serious.

“Selene isn’t Ava,” he denied.

“We will only find that out when you do a DNA test,” Kace replied in Xavier’s stead.

Kace explained everything to Kael, feeding the latter on how they’d found out Selene was his long-lost elder sister.

Kael couldn’t believe his ears when Kace was done narrating the story.

“Alright, I will do the blood test,” he replied.

Kace escorted Kael to the doctor. Even though their relationship wasn’t that good, at least they weren’t glaring at each other.

Xavier stepped inside the hospital room where Selene was lying on the bed, unconscious. He could see some bruises on her face and hand. Although from the looks of it, they were mere scratches and would heal in no time.

Xavier couldn’t bring himself to explain how glad he felt that she was alive. Useless shadow guards couldn’t even protect her. He made a mental note to deal with them properly once he was out of there.

Xavier took a nearby seat, settling himself so that he could take a proper look at her. He held her long slender fingers in his large big ones, caressing it ever so softly.

His jaws were tightened as he silently prayed she woke up at that moment. Even though the doctor had already assured him she would be waking up in a few hours, he wouldn’t be able to rest until she opened her eyes.

“Please wake up.”

Michelle was in her room at the Harrison mansion, drinking juice as she scrolled through the video clips uploaded by netizens who witnessed Selene’s car crash.

“HAHAHAHA!!! That bitch is DEAD!!” She laughed like a maniac.

Dropping her phone on the bed, she walked towards her boombox and played some songs and danced in joy.

“She’s finally dead,” Michelle sang as she danced to the music.

What she wanted had finally happened and she couldn’t wait for the scandal the previous day to die down, so that she could continue acting in movies and gain her popularity back.

When Michelle thought she’d danced enough, she sank back on her bed, grabbed her phone, and read the comments of the netizens.

“Is Selene alright? I hope she survives the crash.”

“Selene is going to survive the crash, my gurl is strong.”

“Nothing is going to happen to Selene. She will survive.”

Michelle laughed as she scrolled through the comment section of each post. Everyone was about Selene surviving the crash.

“The car is damaged beyond repair, talk more of the person inside. So how come Selene is going to survive the crash?” She wondered before chuckling.

Her smile immediately faltered when she read a comment.

“Selene got in an accident just a day after the award show? This is a planned accident I tell you.”

As if that comment wasn’t enough, netizens replied under the comment saying, “That’s right! But who could be the one behind it?”

“It must be MICHELLE!”

Michelle paled when she saw her name written boldly by the netizen.

Several other replies were under that one, agreeing with what the netizens typed.

Michelle scoffed. “You people can’t find out anything because that man has already left the city.” She laughed out loud again, rolling on the bed.

With the thought that Selene was gone, Michelle believed her days were better.

If only she knew that the person she was jubilating about their departure was in the hospital recovering.

After a few hours,

Xavier was still in Selene’s hospital room, staring at her keenly, monitoring for any movements but nothing. He’d been sitting in silence with her in the room, waiting for her to wake up except for the nurse that came to check her IV drop once in a while.

He was starting to doubt what the doctor had told him earlier.

“Xavier, he’s here,” Kace said when he opened the door.

Xavier stared at him, wondering whom he could be insinuating. Reluctantly, he stood up from his seat and went outside, where he sighted Ezekiel, together with Kael who was changed in new clothes and looking better than he did a few hours ago when he donated his blood to Selene.

“Is it true?” Ezekiel questioned, half glaring at Xavier. “Is that woman my sister? Ava?” He added that Xavier hadn’t responded to him soon.

“She is Ava Clark,” Xavier confirmed. “But if you don’t believe me, you can wait for the DNA test to come out.” His eyes landed on Kael.

“The doctor said it would come out in a few days,” Kael said.

Ezekiel rubbed his forehead in frustration. He understood how Ava became Anastasia, but he was puzzled about how she transitioned from Anastasia to Selene. He was unsure which name he was supposed to use.

“Can I see her?” He requested.

Xavier stared at him for a few seconds. “Go ahead,” he responded, leaving the way for Ezekiel.

The latter was quite relieved by Xavier’s response and marched towards the door.

Ezekiel opened the door and made eye contact with pale blue eyes that stared right back at him with curiosity in them. Ezekiel stood frozen, because Xavier never mentioned that Selene was already awake.

“Who are you?” She asked him with a slight frown. “Where’s Xavier?”

Xavier stepped into the room when he heard Selene’s voice.

‘When did she wake up?’ He wondered as he went to her side.

He gave her a tight hug, but she flinched in pain from the wound on her stomach. He immediately requested a doctor to check her vital organs.

“Xavier, who is that man?” Selene questioned him as she continued to stare at Ezekiel who still stood in front of the door, unmoving.

Both Xavier and Ezekiel exchanged glances, and Xavier noticed Ezekiel subtly shake his head from side to side, a barely noticeable gesture.

“He’s an acquaintance of mine, Ezekiel Clark,” Xavier responded.
