My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

784  Chapter 783

Selena was taken aback and quickly explained, "Gavin, don't listen to him! I didn't know you were sick. I just thought taking too many meds was bad for your health, so I switched them out with vitamins! I really didn't know."

Gavin sighed in relief, looking over at Ryan. "Ryan, she didn't know."

Ryan looked at his brother, usually so smart, always sharp when helping out at the company—why did he turn into a completely different person around this woman?

He turned his gaze directly on Selena. "So when exactly did you find out that Gavin had colon cancer?"

Selena immediately responded, "Yesterday, yeah, it was yesterday… I saw Gavin's medical report yesterday. I thought he was the one who was sick…"

She looked at Gavin, voice desperate. "Honey, you have to believe me. Why was your name on that report?"

Gavin sighed. "I didn't want you to get hurt, so I used my name to take you to your appointments." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Selena's eyes filled with gratitude. "Honey, thank you for caring for me so much. You trust me, don't you?"

Gavin looked over to Ryan again. "I believe Selena isn't the kind of person they're saying she is."

Ryan took a deep breath.

Just then, Keira spoke up, "If you only found out about your husband's cancer yesterday, then how would I have been trying to poison him with the soup for any reason? You're not making any sense…"

Gavin frowned and looked at Selena, puzzled. "Yeah, Selena, I'm not sick, so there's no reason anyone would try to poison me."

Selena was now clenching her fists in frustration.

If she'd known it was her own cancer diagnosis, why on earth would she have poisoned herself, practically signing her own death warrant?

She wanted to slap herself for this mess.

Biting her lip, she looked at Gavin with a sudden realization. "Then it wasn't you they were trying to harm—it was me! They must have found out somehow that I had colon cancer, so they were trying to kill me!"

Seeing Gavin's unsettled expression, Selena pressed further, "Honey, did they know I had cancer?"

Gavin thought back to when Lewis and "Keera" first visited the Cobb family.

Ryan had shown them Selena's medical report without hesitation, just to make it clear that the Cobb family wouldn't hold back.

With Selena's limited time, they had to prioritize other things.

Gavin turned to "Keera." "They knew…"

Tears streamed down Selena's face. "Then they did this on purpose. They weren't trying to hurt you—they were trying to kill me! Honey, I know I've been an obstacle in their deal with the Cobb family. If they get rid of me, no one will stand in their way…"

Selena glared at "Keera" and Lewis with pure hatred.

If it weren't for them, she'd never be in this situation!

She had cancer, barely any time left…

She'd even looked it up after seeing Gavin's report. With the medicine she'd unknowingly taken, her time was even shorter…

As she processed this, a strange calm washed over her.

People often say that a person's final words are meant to be kind.

But Selena wasn't that kind. She didn't want to die, and if she did, she certainly wouldn't go down without making it miserable for those still alive!

She grabbed Gavin's arm with fervor. "Honey, it was them! They're the ones who've done this to me! You have to get justice for me!"

Gavin shot up, glaring at "Keera". "Ms. Olsen, Selena's been apologizing to you all evening. Even if you can't forgive her, going this far is too much!"

Keira scoffed, but Ryan spoke up.

"Gavin, calm down. We still don't know who tampered with the medicine. There's no proof yet."

Selena cut in, "Ryan, I know Ms. Olsen saved your life, and you want to repay her. It's fine. I'll die, and no one will stand in your way anymore…"

She squeezed Gavin's hand. "Honey, I take it all back. Don't get revenge for me… Just go on with your life. I… I deserve this."

Her mind was moving faster than ever, knowing just the right words to ignite Gavin's anger.

And sure enough, Gavin grew even more furious, shaking off Ryan's grip. "Ryan! I get that you're grateful to her for saving you, but they killed my wife! They tried to kill Selena! I can't just sit here and ignore that… I can't let this go on!"

He turned to "Keera." "I'm calling the police. I'm going to charge you with attempted murder!"

Selena shook her head. "Don't call the police. They're still my uncle and aunt. My mom killed my dad by accident, and they've always hated me for it… It's better if I just die. It'll be a release for me, and maybe for you too. Honey, don't blame Ryan. Just… just forget about me!"

The more Gavin listened, the more emotional he got, his eyes growing red.

He glared at Ryan. "Ryan, I won't let this go! If you still want to be friends with the Olsens and the Hortons, I'll leave the Cobb family!"

Tears were streaming down his face. "I can't stand to make nice with the people who killed my wife!"

Selena smiled at his words.

Even if she did die, she'd leave the Horton family with an enemy they couldn't simply dispose of, given Gavin's status in the Cobb family.

Gavin might not be able to hurt "Keera" and Lewis directly, but he'd make their lives miserable, and they wouldn't be able to touch him!

Selena was nearly ready to laugh out loud.

But the next moment, Lewis spoke up slowly, "There are cameras in the kitchen. We'll know exactly who tampered with the food."
