Rescuing Bodhi from Love

I opened my eyes again and found myself lying in bed.

Stefan, the butler, looked at me with concern. "Ma'am, I'm glad to see you're awake. The doctor stopped by and mentioned it was just a stress-related incident, thankfully nothing too serious."

Outside the window, the sun shone brightly.

I quickly asked, "Who went to pick up Selah?"

"I've arranged for Zane, the driver, to get Miss Olson."

"And Bodhi?"

"He went back to school! He spoke to the doctor, and once he knew you were alright, he decided to stay there."

I knew Stefan was trying to reassure me. It worked; my heart felt much calmer.

I pushed myself up, preparing to get out of bed, when a light, pleasant scent drifted in from the doorway.

"Godmother!"

With a cheerful voice, a figure breezed in.

Standing tall at over five-foot-nine, she was stylishly dressed without overdoing it. Her hair was tied up high, shiny and black, her smile warm and dignified, embodying confidence and grace.

Despite being in college, Selah was studying both management and psychology and excelling in both, according to her mother, my dear friend Alexandria.

Ah, my dream daughter-in-law!

"Godmother, are you alright?" she asked.

"I'm fine, I'm fine! Come here, let me take a good look at you. It's been so many years."

I held Selah’s hand; it was soft and fragrant, hard to let go.

Eighteen years later, for the first time, I regretted not choosing X.

"When I was on my way over, my mom mentioned Bodhi's situation, which just so happens to align with my research topic. Don't worry, I'll help you... er, solve the problem."

Meeting Selah's bright eyes, I couldn't help but be curious. "Selah, what exactly is your research topic?"

She gave a mischievous smile. "That's a secret! I've already set up the action plan on the plane; all you need to do is cooperate with me."

I nodded, somewhat puzzled.

"Alright!" Selah released my hand, her smile unwavering, "No time to waste; I'm going to get everything ready now. Just wait to see the results!"

With that, Selah walked away, her hair swinging.

Oh! This child is even cleverer than her mother.
