Chapter 93:
Not long after Fraser departed, Rosalie hastily made her way to Inewood University.
Anxiety consumed her throughout the journey.
Initially, she had reservations about letting her sister return to school so quickly, yet she found it hard to deny Selena’s persistent requests.
The fact that Ashton was on the faculty at Inewood University comforted her, giving her confidence that Selena would be safe under his watch.
With some hesitation, Rosalie consented to let her sister resume her campus life. However, she hadn’t anticipated trouble on Selena’s very first day back at school.
Filled with concern, Rosalie had dropped everything and sped to the university.
Upon arrival, her anxiety eased when she saw Ashton by her sister’s side, confirming that Selena was unharmed. Her heart, which had climbed to her throat, finally calmed.
Upon seeing her sister, Selena greeted her with a cheerful smile. “Rosalie! What brings you here p>
Maintaining a serious expression, Rosalie lightly tapped Selena on the head and reprimanded her. “I got a call saying you had fainted! I’ve been telling you, you’re not fully recovered and need to rest. But you insisted on coming back to school, and look what happened p>
Selena, understanding her sister’s concern, wasn’t offended. Instead, her smile widened.
“Don’t worry so much, Rosalie. Ashton is here, right? He came to my rescue again!” Selena exclaimed, still grinning.
Rosalie, maintaining her stern demeanor, replied, “But what if Ashton hadn’t been at school? What then p>
Selena, upon hearing this, bowed her head and remained quiet.

Rosalie let out a sigh and continued, “Fortunately, nothing serious happened this time. But if something had, what would we do? As a consequence for not obeying, you’ll need to come back to our family manor with me and rest until you’re completely recovered p>
Selena sulked, opening her mouth to protest, but a stern glance from Rosalie stopped her mid-sentence.
Several of Selena’s friends quickly came to her defense. Jenna was the first to speak. “Rosalie, Selena just missed us and wanted to get back to school quickly p>
“It’s really our fault, not hers. Please, don’t hold this against her.” The others nodded in agreement. Rosalie’s heart softened at their pleas, yet her concerns for Selena’s well-being remained.
With a deep knowledge of her sister’s frail condition, Rosalie sighed once more and added, “You all know how delicate Selena’s health is. She needs to rest. If you truly wish to see her, come visit our manor on weekends.” She then addressed Ashton. “Ashton, please come over on weekends if you’re available p>
The girls were excited about the prospect of visiting the Campbell family manor, a place outsiders never got to enter without an invitation.
Ashton paused to consider, then agreed.
Given Selena’s recent health scare and Fraser’s odd actions, he found it essential to speak privately with Rosalie.
Everyone welcomed Rosalie’s suggestion warmly, Selena included.
Thus, after farewells were exchanged, Selena compliantly accompanied her sister back to the Campbell family manor.
In her rush to check on Selena, Rosalie hadn’t even stopped to pick up her car; she had taken a taxi instead. Ashton, finding himself free, offered to drive the sisters to the manor.
Once they were all in the car and Selena settled down, Rosalie’s expression relaxed slightly.
She spoke with genuine concern. “Selena, remember how I’ve always cautioned you about your health? Look, you nearly had an accident this time. It’s lucky that Ashton was here to help you again. What if he hadn’t been around? Starting now, you really need to listen to my advice, okay p>
Selena gave her a playful blink and stuck her tongue out at her sister.
Agreeing with a nod, she leaned in close to Rosalie and whispered mischievously, “Why don’t you make a little more effort, or perhaps take the lead, so Ashton can be with me every day? Then we wouldn’t need to worry about my health at all! If you’re too timid, I could always step in p>
Rosalie, initially shocked, quickly caught on to her sister’s implication.
Her face flushed a deep red.
She playfully tapped Selena on the head, her voice a mix of embarrassment and irritation. “You little imp, what kind of nonsense do you come up with all day?” Selena dodged the tap, giggling. “Oh, so you do get embarrassed p>
In the driver’s seat, Ashton, focused on driving, was oblivious to the sisters’ banter.
His curiosity piqued, he asked, “What’s so funny back there? Come on, share it with me too p>
Rosalie’s cheeks deepened in color. She shyly darted her eyes, stealing a quick glance at Ashton before looking away.
Beside her, Selena continued to chuckle.
Ashton, though puzzled, felt the car’s air grow strangely warmer.
