Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 736 The Distance Between Her and Raymond

Mia had been bawling her eyes out, and the second she saw the dude lying in a pool of blood, she just straight-up passed out.

Selena was standing a bit away, too freaked out to get any closer.

She could feel the burning hatred in Mia's eyes.

She tried to say something but couldn't get a word out.

Quickly, she shrugged off her coat and handed it to Raymond.

She wanted to explain, but Raymond just wrapped Mia in the coat and walked out without a word.

Selena stood there, feeling like this whole mess was gonna be a permanent scar for the Montague family, and the gap between her and Raymond just got a whole lot wider. The room reeked; the guy had clearly tortured Mia for at least forty minutes.

The other kidnappers had been cleared out, but this one stayed hidden, which is why he hadn't been found earlier.

Selena followed Raymond heavily. When they got to the first-floor lobby, the door was already open, and the cops were handling everything like pros.

Raymond put Mia in the ambulance, telling the doc to do a full check-up.

Mia had been violated, and they didn't even know if the guy had any diseases.

He had just said a few words when a call from the Montague family came in, this time from William.

Apparently, the situation had blown up, and everyone knew about it, even William had heard.

"Raymond, your dad's already sent a bunch of people over. You okay?" William asked.

Raymond explained Mia's situation.

Mia had grown up spoiled in the Montague family and always trusted Raymond, even though Raymond had beef with her dad and brother, Mia still liked Raymond the most. William also doted on Mia, and now with this incident, no one knew how crazy Mia would be when she woke up.

William sighed. "Get her checked out first, and when you get back, replace a good shrink for her."

Raymond nodded and then got questioned, "Why'd you suddenly go to Ridgefield?"

He made up some excuse, and then William said, "Selena's family is from Ridgefield. With such a big incident happening there, she's probably very concerned. I need to call and check if she's in Ridgefield." Raymond's eyes narrowed. He hadn't paid much attention to Selena and didn't even know where she was from.

But now, hearing William say this, his heart was suddenly struck. "Selena, she's from Ridgefield?" His tone was indifferent, one hand gripping the phone tightly.

William didn't want to talk to him any longer.

The call ended, and Raymond stared at the phone, lost in thought.

The area around the building was still a mess, with hostages being rescued one after another.

The perimeter had long been cordoned off, and reporters were constantly interviewing and reporting. Selena, worried about being caught on camera, found a hidden spot.

Raymond soon came over and pulled her into the car.

There was nothing more for them to do here.

He sat in the front, driving, his face always calm.

The car headed toward the hospital, seemingly to check on Mia.

Mia was still out cold, her eyes swollen from crying.

Raymond waited in the hallway, asking the doc about her condition.

The doc replied, "She has tears in her lower body, but no other injuries. She might need a shrink later."

Having gone through such an ordeal and witnessing such a bloody scene, Mia's psychological trauma wouldn't heal quickly. Selena stood outside the hallway, not daring to look at Mia.

In her mind, she kept seeing the resentful look Mia had given her.

But she didn't regret hiding Mia in the storage room at that time; it was such a hidden place, it should have been safe.

Unless Mia had been too scared and left on her own.

And if she had taken Mia with her, they both might have been in danger, and she wouldn't have been able to alert the outside world, and the situation wouldn't have been resolved so quickly, with more casualties among the hostages on the first floor.

Selena's mind was in turmoil until Raymond returned and stood beside her again.

"Since you knew Mia was there, why didn't you stay with her?"

This was Raymond's question and would also be the Montague family's question in the future.

She would once again become a sinner in the eyes of the Montague family.

"I..." Selena opened her mouth, seeing him irritably take out a cigarette, his brows furrowed.

"Mia has been spoiled since childhood and will probably have a hard time accepting this. If she says anything harsh to you later, don't take it to heart," Raymond said.

So Raymond had also noticed that Mia hated Selena.
