Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 24 Does Your Husband Treat You Badly?

Matthew held Selena and was surprised to hear Raymond's words. He wondered, 'Selena got married?' But judging from Raymond's expression, he wasn't joking.

After graduating from college, Selena was invited to join his studio. Matthew had never seen her get close to any man in the past three years, so how could she be married?

Seeing the surprise on Matthew's face, Raymond raised an eyebrow and said, "Let's take her inside first."

Matthew nodded and carefully helped Selena into the hospital lobby.

Raymond had no intention of staying here longer. He was willing to bring her here just for the sake of their long-term cooperation.

On his way back to the Montague Group, he suddenly received a call from Cassius.

"Raymond, have you seen Selena? She must become more beautiful, right?" Cassius coughed after speaking a few words. Seemed that he was still in critical condition and hadn't recovered yet. "Grandpa, please rest well at the sanatorium. Don't fuss."

"You'd better have a baby as soon as possible. Then I won't hurry you. Selena is introverted by nature and works in the arts. So she's less talkative. You are a man, so why can't you be more proactive?"

Raymond frowned deeply. He really wanted to know how that woman had pleased Cassius. He planned on divorcing her before explaining to Cassius. But if he heard about it all of a sudden when he came back from abroad next month, would he faint out of anger?

Thinking of this, Raymond became serious while his slender fingertips pinched tightly onto the steering wheel, his eyebrows full of gloom.

Just forgot the divorce temporarily. At least not during the time when Cassius was back.

Besides, they also had to pretend to be a happy couple.

It seemed necessary to have a talk with that woman personally.

***

After receiving a fever-reducing injection and an IV drip at the hospital, Selena finally woke up. She slowly opened her eyes, only to replace her in an unfamiliar environment. She frowned, trying to get up before almost falling back down due to exhaustion.

Matthew just caught some water and quickly held her upon seeing this. "Don't move. Your temperature is close to 104°F."

Hearing this familiar voice, Selena became relaxed. But the thought of the scene before she fainted made her heart tighten again. "Where is Mr. Montague?" she asked.

Matthew sighed and poured her a glass of water, saying, "I wonder why you get entangled with him?"

Selena took it and sipped to moisten her dry throat. "I didn't have a chance to tell you yet. But I've landed the deal of Manhattan. And the studio doesn't need to be sold for now."

Matthew was shocked at first, then touched. "You've done a great job."

He continued, "But when did you get married?"

Caught off guard, Selena almost choked on the water and quickly explained, "Sorry, I never told you before. I got married three years ago."

"Don't say that. It's your privacy," Matthew said calmly. "But in these three years, I've never seen your husband come pick you up after work. Even today when you fainted, he didn't show up. If Mr. Montague hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known you were already married."

Feeling embarrassed, Selena repeated roughly what she had told Raymond, "My husband is busy with work."

"Even though he's busy, he shouldn't neglect you like this," Matthew replied firmly. "Give me his number. I'll call him and let him know that you need to stay here for two days. I gotta go back to the studio. But how can I leave you alone." "Matthew, don't bother," Selena protested.

Matthew treated Selena like a little sister, though he was her boss at work. Seeing she was so resistant, he hesitated for a while before finally asking, "Selena, tell me honestly... Does your husband treat you badly?"

When the nurse gave Selena an injection just now, he inadvertently saw some bruises on her body. Seemed like she was pinched by someone.
