Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 1013 Make Him Jealous

After Christopher took off, Selena wanted to yank the needle out of her hand and head to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Her mouth tasted like blood.

But just then, Fiona walked in with a bowl of fresh soup, her voice full of scolding, "Ms. Fair, how can you know you have a stomach problem and still go two days without eating? The doctor told me you need to take better care of yourself. From now on, don't skip meals and don't let work make you neglect your health!"

Selena took the water Fiona handed her to rinse her mouth, then glanced at the tasty food on the small table but had zero appetite.

Fiona kept going, "Ms. Fair, you have to eat something. If your stomach acts up, you'll feel even worse. You've already lost several pounds."

Selena hadn't felt much family love and knew Fiona always treated her like a granddaughter.

Now, hearing Fiona's nagging, Selena felt a wave of sadness and didn't know who to share her troubles with.

Selena thought she had a beautiful promise and had met a wonderful person. She had been striving to pursue and believe in it.

But Mario had wrecked it all, pushing her into the abyss just as she was about to replace happiness.

Fiona sighed and placed the spoon in her hand. "No matter what you've been through, you still need to eat. Max was just downstairs calling for you; he probably knows you're feeling down. If Mr. Montague were here, it would be better. Even though he has a bad temper, I can tell you really like him."

Selena's tears stopped immediately. She hadn't figured out how to explain this to Raymond.

She and Raymond liked each other, but their biggest issue was that they didn't trust each other enough.

Raymond had a volatile temper and was very possessive. Even if she met with a business partner, he would get jealous. If he found out about this...

Selena didn't dare to think about it. Her head hurt, and she wasn't even sure if he would say something humiliating.

She quietly ate her food and thought about the phone call he had made. Because she had remained silent, he hadn't called back after hanging up.

She quickly finished eating, then grabbed her phone and sent him a message. Her throat hurt, and she really couldn't speak, so she had to send a message. Selena: [I've been eating well, and I never said it was just a fling.]

This was in response to what Raymond had asked her on the phone.

Raymond was in a meeting with some people from the Adams family, brought by Paul.

Since calling Selena, his face had been grim. They had found the signal William had sent, but it had quickly disappeared.

Raymond sat quietly in his chair, absentmindedly twirling his phone.

Paul was chatting with the people he had brought and then looked at him. "Raymond, what do you think?"

Paul wasn't aware of Raymond's influence in Vistalia. The place where William's signal had been sent had already been thoroughly searched, and nothing was found.

Raymond even thought that the signal might not have been left by William but by the people holding him, to lure him out of Silver Bay City.

But what was their goal? Was it the chip Christopher had sent earlier? But what did the chip have to do with luring him out of Silver Bay City?

Raymond couldn't figure out the connection and was worried that the signal was indeed left by William.

"Raymond?" Paul called out when he saw him daydreaming.

Raymond looked up, and at that moment, he received a message from Selena.

Seeing her name light up on the screen, his eyes brightened, and he smiled slightly.

Paul repeated, "Raymond, what do you think about this?"

Raymond replied, "I don't know. I can't determine if the signal was left by Grandpa or by the people holding him. I also can't figure out their motive. Don't forget, Christopher might be among the kidnappers, and no one can guess his intentions."

Because Christopher might be on the opposing side, the Adams family had become cautious in their investigation.

Paul had already been warned not to continue investigating Christopher. The human experimentation involved too many forces, including several countries. This wasn't just a family feud; it could lead to international conflict. So Paul had found various excuses to go abroad this time.

After Raymond finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair.

Paul fell silent for a few minutes before asking, "If Christopher is really against us, then William will be in great danger. He's your brother. Will you take action?" Hearing this, Raymond's slight smile slowly faded.
