Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 756 None of Your Business

Raymond stared at Selena, totally floored, like he couldn't believe she'd just dropped that bomb on him.

He opened his mouth, but words just wouldn't come out.

What was the point of saying anything?

He looked down, trying to keep it together. "Get out."

Selena didn't want to stick around either. She bit her lip, noticing his neck still bleeding, and told Alex, "Get the doc to re-bandage him."

But Raymond just plopped back on the bed, gripping the frame. "I don't need your pity, get out."

Alex tugged at his sleeve. "Raymond, chill."

Raymond was always stubborn, just like now. He was clearly wrecked by her words, but he had to act like he didn't care.

His lips quivered, but he stayed silent, closing his eyes.

Selena felt like her heart was being chewed up by ants.

Not long ago, they were fighting off bad guys together, hugging each other in victory. Now, look at them.

She didn't say another word and turned to leave.

A cup smashed against the wall behind her.

She went back to Richard's room. He had two broken ribs and saw her come back. "Don't argue with him, or Catherine will come after you. With Raymond hurt, the Montague clan will probably show up here." Richard had to stay in the hospital for a week, and Raymond next door would probably be there too, so they'd run into each other.

Selena didn't say anything, just asked, "Need anything? I can grab it for you."

Richard needed clean clothes, but Selena didn't have to go herself.

"Go rest, take care of yourself first," Richard said.

Selena had gotten better, but she'd lost a lot of weight in the past couple of days.

She stayed with Richard for another forty minutes.

Next door, after Raymond got re-bandaged, he was ready to leave.

The doc advised, "You should stay a few more days."

But Raymond couldn't stand it. Just thinking about Selena and Richard next door made him itch.

Seeing he couldn't change his mind, Alex went to handle the discharge papers.

When he came back and got in the elevator with Raymond, he saw it was about to close.

He quickly stopped it, and it reopened.

Selena was inside. She frowned when she saw them.

Alex thought Raymond would take another elevator after their spat. But Raymond walked in first.

Selena hit the button for the first floor and didn't ask where they were going, just stood there, silent.

The elevator ride was super tense, and no one said a word.

When it dinged and the doors opened on the first floor, Selena walked out first, with Raymond and Alex trailing behind. Neither had driven, and Alex's phone rang. It was Paul. "Did Raymond and Richard really fight?"

Alex replied, "What? Father is that sick? I'll be right there!"

He hung up.

Paul was confused.

Alex looked at Selena and quickly said, "Penny, I gotta go, please take Raymond home."

He hailed a cab and left.

Selena called out, "Mr. Reed, but I..."

She was just helping Richard drive his car back and wouldn't pass by Manston Manor.

Seeing her troubled look, Raymond sneered, not sure what he was hoping for.

He walked to the curb to hail a cab.

Selena's voice came. "Mr. Montague, let me give you a ride."

"No need," Raymond said.

Selena took a deep breath. "Then I'll call John to pick you up."

She pulled out her phone but saw Raymond looking at her, eyes full of emotion.

Selena quickly told John the address and was about to get in the car when she heard him ask, "What do you see in him?"

'What does he have that I don't?' Raymond wondered.

Selena wanted to say he misunderstood. She was worried about Richard because she'd been recovering at his villa. Richard had helped her a lot; otherwise, she wouldn't have known how to handle being trapped in Montague Manor. But she didn't need to explain to Raymond.
