I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Chapter 618: The Antidote Arrives



Hya stole the antidote from the Celestial Alliance headquarters. As long as Selene took it, she would gradually regain her memory. Hya had been tracking John Wilkinson for two days and finally confirmed that the person with him was indeed Selene. Hya didn’t dare to act rashly. John Wilkinson was part of the anti-terrorism team; why would he parade Selene around so openly? Although Selene wore a mask, it wasn’t entirely unrecognizable, at least not to Hya. Hya identified Selene not by her face but by her figure and subtle behaviors. Having shadowed Selene for ten years, how could she not recognize her?

Confirming that Selene was safe, Hya felt both joy and worry. Was this a ploy by the anti-terrorism team using an amnesiac Selene? Hya didn’t dare to act impulsively and continued to follow them, hoping to find out where Selene was staying to get closer to her. This task was only halfway done. Over the years, Hya had honed her tracking skills; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to stay by Selene’s side for ten years without being discovered.

John Wilkinson sent Selene home before leaving for his duties; he couldn’t stay home all the time due to his mission. After he left, Selene removed her mask to let her face breathe but started working on another mask after being recognized by Meredith. Just as she finished making a new mask, the doorbell rang. John Wilkinson had changed the password, so Elsa couldn’t come in-who could it be?

Selene put on a different mask than the one she wore when she last saw Elsa. Since Elsa’s visit and the password change, no one else had come by. Peeking through the peephole, she saw it was Elsa accompanied by an older woman who looked like her mother. Reluctant to open the door but knowing Elsa’s persistence, Selene opened it.

Elsa looked puzzled: “Who are you?” This person looked different from last time. Elsa had brought Mrs. Wilkinson specifically to see what kind of woman John Wilkinson was hiding at home. Mrs. Wilkinson hadn’t wanted to interfere; her workaholic son finally had a girlfriend, so what did it matter who she was or what she wanted? Her son was socially awkward and only good at catching criminals; what could anyone possibly want from him? But Elsa’s constant nagging persuaded her to come.

Mrs. Wilkinson looked at Selene and then at Elsa: “Is this your brother’s girlfriend?” “This isn’t the same person as last time,” Elsa whispered to Mrs. Wilkinson before asking Selene, “Who are you, and why are you in my brother’s house?” The question mirrored their previous encounter.

Selene didn’t bother answering and said, “Your brother isn’t home; if you need something, call him.” With that, she walked back inside. Though her face was different, her cold attitude remained unchanged.

Elsa was baffled-had her brother changed girlfriends again? Why did he always choose these ice queens? She asked Mrs. Wilkinson to sit down and said, “Mom, you should call my brother; I’m afraid he’ll be upset with me again.”

“You fear your brother but still provoke him. I told you not to come, but you insisted,” Mrs. Wilkinson scolded.

“Mom, don’t you find it strange how frequently my brother changes girlfriends? There’s definitely something off here,” Elsa said.

“That girl just now looked quite nice,” Mrs. Wilkinson commented as she glanced toward the room where Selene had gone. Feeling an inexplicable urge, she got up and walked over.

Mrs. Wilkinson didn’t know why but felt compelled to see what Selene was doing. At the door, she saw Selene reading a book with a serene expression that made Mrs. Wilkinson feel a strange sense of familiarity.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Noticing Mrs. Wilkinson’s presence, Selene looked up: “Do you need something?”

Feeling guilty, Mrs. Wilkinson smiled and said, “No, no, continue reading; I won’t disturb you.” Then, almost involuntarily, she added, “I’m John Wilkinson’s mother.”

Upon hearing this, a peculiar light flickered in Selene’s eyes.
