Chapter 741 Ava walked over and gently asked, "Hey, are you alright?" "I'm fine," she replied, though her tears betrayed her words. She whispered softly, "Sometimes it's better to just get it over with. It'll get better eventually." Ava wasn't sure what to say-words always seem so inadequate in the face of such heartache. So, she simply wrapped her arms around Selena, letting her lean in and let it all out.
That afternoon, Blaine finally woke up. Selena brought Mateo along to visit him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMateo clung to the edge of the hospital bed, eyes wide with concern as he took in Blaine's frail appearance. "Uncle Blaine, does it hurt?" he asked cautiously.
He remembered how even the tiniest scratch would make him wail, and Ava had mentioned that Uncle Blaine had been shot. That must hurt a lot, he thought.
Blaine was definitely in pain, but he put on a brave face for the young one. He quivered his lips and said, "A real man doesn't feel pain, you know." But Mateo, being the honest kid he was, wasn't buying it. "Uncle Blaine, Ava said you'd pretend it doesn't hurt. If it does, just say so. I promise I won't laugh-I'll even blow on it to make it better!" Blaine: ".
He threw a glance at Selena. "Seriously, can you fire your Ava?" Selena pulled up a chair, sat down, and rolled her eyes. "I'd kick you out of the Irwin family before I'd ever let Ava go." Blaine feigned being hurt. "Still cracking jokes, huh? You nearly lost your life." Selena felt a mix of fear and annoyance. "Well, I'm still here, aren't I? Don't worry, I'm tough as nails. Even the grim reaper wouldn't dare mess with me." "Yeah, troublemakers like you stick around forever, don't they?" After making sure he was okay, Selena grabbed an apple and started peeling it slowly. With a casual air, she asked, "So, what are you going to do about Alexa?" Since the incident had been kept under wraps, the decision was up to Blaine. Selena was hoping to plead Alexa's case.
Even though they hadn't spent much ttogether, Selena felt there might be more to Alexa's actions, and she saw a bit of her younger self in her. It tugged at her heartstrings.

But Selena wasn't giving up. "Blaine, let her go Keeping someone who doesn't want to be with you only hurts you both. You'll just keep spinning in this cycle of pain en "Do you really want to spend your life filled with hate?" Blaine lazily lifted his gaze, his eyes cold. "Did Alexa put you up to this?" Selena shook her head. "No, she didn't say a word. I just think it's the right thing to do."
"Selena, who's your real family here? Why are you taking her side? Don't forget, it was the Hodge family that caused us all this grief, tore us apart, and threw us into chaos. Are you just going to brush that off?" Selena took a deep breath. "Blaine, you've already gotten your revenge. The Hodge family is gone isn't that enough?"
She paused, locking eyes with Blaine, her words deliberate, "Unless you still have feelings for Alexa, and that's ท.
