Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 177 He Should Come to Pick You Up

At this moment, Raymond was on his way to the hospital, having received a call from Carter.

Carter said a bunch of things and added one last sentence.

"Cousin, she at least drew a picture for you."

Raymond looked at the sky outside. It was already getting dark, and the streetlights were turning on.

This atmosphere was reminiscent of that painting.

There was no denying that she painted it really well.

The car finally stopped next to the address provided by Carter. The housing prices in this neighborhood were not low. Selena had said that she was preparing to move, and it turned out she had moved here.

Selena didn't dare make Raymond wait and was ready ten minutes early, waiting downstairs.

But after soaking in the bath for so long, the water had turned cold, and now she felt dizzy and disoriented.

It wasn't until Raymond's car stopped in front of her that she snapped back to reality and weakly opened the car door.

"Mr. Montague, thank you."

Her voice was hoarse, immediately sounding off.

"Are you sick?"

Raymond asked calmly, his gaze falling on her cheeks.

An abnormal flush spread across her cheeks, and her eyes were filled with watery brightness.

She leaned against the backseat and closed her eyes.

"Yeah, I'm feeling unwell. I'm very sorry about Ms. Montague's situation. The police will give the final result."

She must have a fever, feeling hot all over.

Going to the hospital now, she didn't have time to buy any gifts for a visit, and this was Raymond's car. It wouldn't be right to ask him to wait while she went to buy a gift on the way. She could only go empty-handed for now, and make up for the gift next time.

The car was quiet. John was driving in the front and honked the horn several times.

It was rush hour, and the traffic was particularly heavy, causing a standstill.

The car was stuck in a sea of traffic and couldn't move.

With her eyes closed, Selena felt her head spinning and her body burning hot. Even the moisture in her cells seemed to be evaporating due to the fever. Raymond sat not far from her, sensing the turmoil she was going through.

A dry and hot atmosphere.

Her cheeks were red from the heat.

"Selena?"

Raymond frowned, rubbing his temples, just as Grace called him, asking if he was with Selena.

"Raymond, Carter said she's not feeling well, don't bring her along."

Grace didn't know that Raymond had already picked up Selena, so she continued to persuade, "Let her rest, she must have been scared today." Raymond was about to speak when a head fell onto his shoulder.

Selena's heat had already penetrated through the fabric and onto his body.

The space inside the car was cramped, and he could even feel her hot breath spraying on his ear.

That kind of breath contaminated and seeped into every fiber of his being.

Raymond's body stiffened for a moment. After hanging up with Grace, he asked the person in front. "John, is the traffic congested ahead?"

"President, it's rush hour now, the roads here are always congested."

"Go back."

John was stunned but didn't say anything. He simply turned at the next intersection.

The car returned to the neighborhood where Selena came out, and there was a pharmacy next to it.

Raymond opened the car door and pushed Selena.

But Selena was in too much discomfort, and her vision was blurred.

"Mr. Montague, have we arrived?"

She instinctively wanted to get out of the car, but her legs gave way, and she fell towards the ground.

Raymond's brow furrowed, and he quickly pulled her back, grabbing her.

The two were pulled back by his force and leaned against the car.

John had already gotten out of the car and was planning to help, but seeing this scene, he tactfully got back into the car.

Selena realized that she had bumped into someone and quickly tried to retreat.

"Don't move."

Raymond's tone was cold, "This is your neighborhood, you have a fever, call your husband to come pick you up."

She was burning up, yet she still wanted to go out.

Selena lifted her head, her eyes full of watery glimmers, but she didn't really understand what Raymond was saying. She could only nod. Raymond thought she had heard him and left her on a nearby bench.

"Wait here, he should come pick you up."
