Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 549 Do you have a crush now?

The woman had haunted Catherine's memory for three decades, and now, realizing Selena was Barbara's daughter, she almost screamed outright. And there, Donovan remained silent.

Obviously, he did know a long time ago.

Catherine cried and cursed, ultimately wiping away a stream of tears.

"Donovan, you just wait for me! If I'm not doing well, you won't be either!"

With that, Catherine hung up the phone and headed straight back to her parents' home.

Madam Montague, witnessing a once peaceful home turned upside down by Selena's presence, sighed heavily.

"What a situation this has become! Selena is nothing but a troublemaker; that wretched woman will soon be ousted from the Montague family."

Two people argued for several hours at Ashbourne Manor before eventually leaving.

Upon learning of Raymond's mishap, Cassius promptly made his way to the hospital.

Raymond was still undergoing surgery in the operating room, with the lights shining continuously, leaving everyone in the dark about the situation inside. Cassius coughed, as if instantly aging several years.

Concerned for his well-being, Paul reassured him, "Cassius, Raymond will be fine. You should go back and rest for now."

In a daze, Cassius recalled the turmoil he had felt upon receiving the news of Christopher's death.

That kind of agony, he truly didn't wish to experience again.

Three hours passed before the doors of the operating room slowly swung open.

Raymond was wheeled out.

Supported, Cassius approached and inquired, "How is he?"

Dr. Barnes removed his mask, his brow furrowed.

"The injuries to his back are quite severe; he's likely to run a fever for several days. The lingering effects of the concussion will need monitoring. For now, he will be moved to the intensive care unit to check his fever progression. Don't worry; there is currently no immediate danger to his life."

Upon hearing that there was no danger to life, Cassius finally breathed a sigh of relief, almost fainting in the process.

Then Madam Montague arrived, her voice almost filling the entire hallway.

"Damn it, how many more people does Selena have to harm? Catherine has gone back to her mother's house, and Cassius, you're not doing anything about it. Make Raymond divorce Selena quickly, or our family is falling apart. "It's all because of Selena!"

Madam Montague, in a fit of anger, grabbed Cassius as she walked unsteadily.

"Hurry up and get these two people divorced."

Cassius was already in poor health, and being grabbed like that almost made him pass out right away.

The others on the side hurriedly tried to stop her, but Madam Montague paid no attention.

"I don't care. Let Selena and Raymond get divorced. Otherwise, the Montague family won't have peace!"

Cassius took a deep breath, feeling a bit tired in the end.

"Let's wait until Raymond wakes up before deciding anything."

Madam Montague sneered and sat down on the side.

Cassius remained unaware that Raymond was involved in the incident with Selena, and this fact went unmentioned by anyone. He hadn't even informed Selena about Raymond's injuries. In his view, his grandson was unappreciative, and there was no need to cause the young lady any unnecessary anxiety.

Raymond had been in a coma for three days.

The Montague family had been in turmoil these past three days. Initially, Catherine went back to her maternal home in tears, leading to emissaries being sent over, demanding an explanation and strongly urging Selena to depart from the Montague family.

They perceived Selena's presence in the Montague household as an affront to their dignity! Donovan himself had not shown his face, indicating how tenuous his feelings are for his wife.

The atmosphere within the Montague family had been tumultuous as of late.

But Cassius didn't tell Selena any of this. He just called her, telling her to focus on her own things recently.

Selena had indeed been busy with the Fair family's affairs these days. The selection process for the senior leadership has reached its final stages. Currently, she only had one person she can rely on, as she was not familiar with the other employees. Therefore, she had been focusing on familiarizing herself with the profiles of the senior leaders.

The newly promoted individuals remained a mystery in terms of their intentions; after all, they were all still in their probationary period.

Selena had also hired a private detective to go to Ridgefield, specifically to investigate the incident of the child mix-up from years ago.

However, there had been no response from that end, so she was left to deal with the Fair family's affairs while waiting in the interim.

At the hospital, Raymond had finally regained consciousness.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw Cassius sitting by the bedside. His first instinct was to ask about her, but upon seeing Cassius's expression, he immediately fell silent.

Cassius looked visibly troubled, and upon Raymond waking up, he called for Dr. Barnes to come and conduct a check-up.

"Raymond had a severe concussion, and it is estimated that he will need some time to recover. During this period, it's best for him not to strain his brain and to avoid any bumps or knocks."

Cassius nodded, instructing John to pour Raymond a glass of water.

John was luckier than Raymond, having not sustained serious injuries, and he had been staying by the bedside in the hospital room these past few days.

Cassius cleared his throat and, seeing that Raymond had reverted to his usual aloof demeanor, he inquired, "Do you know who was trying to kill you?" Raymond shook his head. "But my associates will investigate."

After a moment of silence, Cassius, mindful of the recent turmoil within the Montague family, realized he couldn't offer much assistance.

"Do you have someone you care for now?" he asked.

Raymond instinctively wanted to argue, but upon reflecting on something, he remained silent.
