Chapter 309: Selina Reveals a Long-Held Hidden Skill Selinaâs face flushed bright redâwhether from anger or embarrassment, even she couldnât tell.
"Logan, having vivid fantasies is a medical condition!"
Logan didnât argue. He casually rebuttoned his robe.
"I donât need acupuncture."
Selina turned away, her playful tone vanishing.
"Mr. Reid, did you know your blindness is caused by poisoning?"
It wasnât night blindness.
It wasnât temporary.
It was straight-upâpoison.
Loganâs expression didnât change. He answered plainly, "Yeah."
Selina blinked.
"You knew?"
"You want to ask why I havenât tried to cure it?" Logan said, completely unfazed.
"Because itâs incurable. It can only be suppressed. So acupunctureâs pointless."
Luckily, the poison was under control.
Worst case? Heâd go blind.
And in Loganâs mind, eyesight wasnât nearly as critical as staying alive.
As long as he lived, certain people wouldnât dare make a move.
Going blind was inevitable.
Acupuncture would be a waste of Selinaâs effortâcompletely useless.
So... why bother?
Selinaâs heart sank.
She had never seen this side of Logan beforeâ
So calm, so resigned, as if blindness didnât even matter to him.
As if those eyes... didnât even belong to him.
Was he refusing treatment because he was afraid to hope?
But how did he know acupuncture wouldnât work... unless he tried?
Her eyes shifted. Then, with a theatrical sigh, she muttered, "Ugh."
Logan looked up.
Selina spoke with exaggerated grievance, "Logan, weâre in the same boat now, you know that, right?"
"What if you really lose your sight one day? What happens to me?"
Loganâs fingers froze.
Selina went on, tone wistful and guilt-tripping, "I mean, Iâm so delicate. If you canât even take care of yourself, how could you possibly protect me?
And if your enemies canât get to you... would they come for me instead?"
Logan: "..."
Selina turned up the drama.
"The Reid Family is eyeing you like a hawk, the Carter Familyâs no better, and me? Iâm just a clueless, helpless little womanâ"
Logan brought a fist to his lips and gave a soft, dry cough.
Helpless?
She really had the nerve to say that?
He shut his eyes briefly.
When he opened them again, his voice was low and husky.
"Mrs. Reid, what are you waiting for? Werenât you going to do acupuncture?"
Sheâd gone so far as to whine and beg just to help him.
How could he say no?
Even though he knewâ
Sheâd probably end up disappointed.
Selina disinfected the needles and helped him remove his robe.
But when she saw his backâ
Her pupils shrank in shock.
She had seen Logan shirtless before.
His body bore countless old scarsâwounds from the Carter and Reid families.
But now there were new ones. Fresh marks. Tiny punctures.
Loganâs current status meant no one could touch him anymore.
So the only person who couldâve inflicted those wounds... was himself.
Selinaâs nose stung.
She suddenly understood.
Before she ever offered acupuncture, Logan had already tried treatment.
Tried, and failed.
Thatâs why heâd given up.
A wave of heartache consumed her.
Even her breath trembled.
This manâ
The all-powerful Logan.
Respected by everyone, admired from a distance.
But this power...Was built on suffering most people couldnât even imagine.
These scars?
They were only a fraction of what heâd endured.
Selina took a deep breath.
Following the treatment notes Gordon had given her, She centered herselfâAnd began the acupuncture, focused completely.
Two hours later.
Logan was drenched in sweat when he opened his eyes.
No more darknessâhis vision had returned completely.
Selina, on the other hand, was absolutely exhausted.
Sheâd never felt this drained giving acupuncture before. Still, it seemed like it had worked.
Jack was on the verge of tears.
"Sirâyour eyes!"
Logan wasnât nearly as emotional. He figured the timing made senseâmost of his episodes lasted two to three days. This was probably just the toxin subsiding.
But it would come back.
And it would keep coming back, more frequently and more severe each time.
Selina understood that, too. Thatâs why she didnât look especially excited.
"I dried some herbs in the backyard for tea," she said. "Drink a little every day."
Those were from Uncle Gordonâs private notes. If Anna had been one of his patients, those herbs had to be helpful.
Logan nodded.
"Iâll have Miller Butler helpâ"
"Madam! Madam!"
Miller Butlerâs urgent voice rang out from the hall.
The elderly man, well into his sixties, came stumbling in, clearly panicked.
"Madam, Madam Nelson and Miss Nelson arrived in a car and drove straight into the backyard. They ran over all the herbs you planted..."
Selinaâs expression turned ice cold.
Her face, already not looking good, darkened instantly.
Miss Nelson? With the last name Nelson?
And they... destroyed her herbs?
Miller Butler knew exactly how much those herbs meant to her.
Besides the ones sheâd dried, Selina had gone out of her way to plant seedlings herself, prepping soil and tending to them carefully.
It had taken three days just to get them to survive.
And now... all of her hard work, just gone.
Selina asked coldly, "Which Miss Nelson?"
If itâs Riley, then she...
"Sheâs Miss Rileyâs cousin, and she came with Madam Nelson. After all, Madam Nelson is Miss Rileyâs biological mother. I canât stop her if she comes."
Miller Butlerâs voice was full of guilt.
"Iâm so sorry, Madam."
Selina shook her head.
"Itâs not your fault. Where are Madam Nelson and Miss Nelson now?"
"Still in the backyard. I had someone hold them there, but... should we..."
Jack looked at Selinaâs expression and swallowed hard.
He wanted to say something like "please remember murder is illegal," but didnât quite dare.
Selina mustâve noticed his look, because she suddenly smiled sweetly.
"Do I look that impulsive?"
Jack: "..."
You donât?
But the herbs were meant to help with Loganâs visionâAnd now Nelson Family people had trampled them?
Jack was seething too.
Selina asked, "So youâve detained Madam Nelson and Miss Nelson... What about their car?"
"Still in the backyard. I didnât touch it without your order."
"Good."
Selina nodded with a slow, meaningful smirk.
"Logan, your vision just came back. Take a breakâIâll go handle something real quick."
She walked a few steps, then paused and looked over her shoulder.
"Since it wasnât Riley who came... I suppose doing something to slightly damage the friendship between our families wouldnât be a problem, right?"

She couldnât expose his blindness.
But that didnât mean sheâd do nothing.
Loganâs condition was already making her anxious.
And now someone had the nerve to mess with herâThat was just asking for trouble.
Logan rubbed his fingers together, then smiled faintly.
"Of course. Whatever makes Mrs. Reid happy."
