Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 1011 If You Don't Speak, I'll Get Mad

Raymond needed Selena's answer. They had everything sorted before he left, and she had promised. So why was she silent on the phone now?

Raymond's face turned cold, and his eyes darkened. "Selena, if you don't speak, I'm gonna get mad."

Selena took a deep breath, wanting to respond. But her throat hurt so much, like someone was choking her. She could barely breathe, and tears streamed down her face. Her body trembled violently, and she bent over, covering her mouth with one hand, afraid he would hear her sobs.

She grabbed the coat next to her, wanting to leave, but in her haste, she bumped her leg against something. She felt no pain, like her body was numb. This place made her feel sick. Raymond continued on the phone, "Are you trying to go back on your word?" This time, his tone had a hint of grievance, and then he hung up abruptly.

Selena left the room and realized it was a hotel, but not one under the Montague Group. She quickly contacted Ann to come pick her up.

Standing by the roadside, Selena felt the sunlight was particularly glaring, making her dizzy.

Ann arrived quickly and looked puzzled when she saw her. "Ms. Fair, didn't you say you wanted to take a few days off?"

Selena didn't respond, got into the back seat, and said hoarsely, "To Ashbourne Manor."

Ann glanced at her through the rearview mirror. The marks on her body were more severe this time. She wondered, 'Is it Raymond's doing again? But I heard he went abroad.' When the car stopped at Ashbourne Manor, Selena said nothing, got out, and immediately went inside.

Selena went to her room and took a long shower, almost scrubbing a layer of skin off.

She didn't know what was wrong with Mario, only that her dreams from back then were shattered. Not just those dreams, but even her current happiness was destroyed. She didn't dare to look closely at the marks on her body, feeling only a strong urge to vomit, but nothing came out.

The intense feeling of having betrayed Raymond made her whole body tremble with pain.

In the evening, Fiona came to the door and asked, "Ms. Fair, do you need dinner brought to your room?"

Selena's mind was foggy, only able to hear faint sounds. She quickly got up, went to the door, and opened it with trembling fingers.

Max took the opportunity to slip in and circled around her, barking.

Fiona was startled by her pale face. "Ms. Fair, you look very pale. What's wrong? Should I call a doctor for you?"

Selena wanted to wave her off, but her vision went black, and she fainted.

Fiona was shocked and immediately contacted a doctor.

Before Selena passed out, she kept thinking she was doomed.

Raymond, with his narrow-mindedness, would definitely be furious if he found out about this.

Selena was also angry at herself for not being more careful during the social event.

Even in her dreams, she felt like vomiting, thinking about having slept with Mario for two days. She wished she could just die.

Selena was inherently a very traditional person. During the three years of her marriage to Raymond, she had never gotten close to other men.

In her view, once married, even if it was in name only, one should remain faithful, regardless of whether they were a man or a woman.

When Shelley used to talk to her about sex, Selena would always feel shy.

Even after she slept with Raymond and she became somewhat accepting of it, she still couldn't accept that after falling for Raymond, she was forced to have sex with Mario for two days. Such things couldn't be thought about in detail, not just because of the physical discomfort, but also the heartache.

Moreover, the promise she had stubbornly held onto back then now seemed like a joke.

In her dream, she heard a gentle voice and felt a hand stroking her forehead. "She has a slight fever. An IV drip should help."

Fiona looked anxiously at the young doctor. She had just called the private doctor of Ashbourne Manor, but he said he was temporarily out of Silver Bay City and asked a friend to come and take a look. The young doctor wore a mask. Since it was his first time here, the bodyguards gave him a thorough check.

But he never took off his mask. When the bodyguards tried to remove it, he said he had a cold and was afraid of infecting Selena. So, in the end, he never took off his mask.
