Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 795 Your So-called Liking

She didn't say a word, just hung her head and shuffled toward the elevator. But then she heard his voice.

"I don't care how many dudes you've been with before, but you gotta cut 'em all off from now on." Selena froze, spun around, and shot him a death glare. "What the hell are we, anyway?"

Raymond looked like he'd just been slapped, his eyebrows knitting together.

Selena was fuming, practically shaking with rage. "You dragged me here 'cause you're scared I'll get sick. That shows what you really think of me. You don't get me at all, yet you have the nerve to say you like me. Isn't that a joke? Your so-called 'liking' doesn't have an ounce of trust in it!"

After her outburst, she felt drained and just stared at him with teary eyes. "Stay the hell away from me. Don't bother me."

Raymond stood there, totally lost about what he'd done wrong this time. Was his concern really that bad?

If she was sick, she needed treatment. He never thought of ditching her.

If she wasn't sick, then great, everyone wins.

Selena stormed out of the hospital, her chest still aching from the anger.

Raymond was always like this, always crushing her pride with his casual attitude.

She flagged down a taxi, tasting blood in her mouth.

Raymond came downstairs and saw her leave without a backward glance, feeling a bit pissed himself.

He got back in his car, unbuttoned a few buttons, and finally felt like he could breathe.

After a long pause, he told John, "Drive."

Maybe he came on too strong, and that's why she didn't take him seriously.

Women were impossible to figure out.

He decided to give her some space for a few days and see what happens.

Selena headed toward her office, but when she passed a gas station, she spotted a pitiful homeless guy. Dragging one leg, he was crawling on the ground.

Even from her car, she could almost smell the stench coming off him.

She dug through her wallet and found all the cash she had, which was just two hundred bucks.

She asked the gas station attendant to fill up her tank, then got out and approached the homeless guy.

He was filthy, and his leg was badly infected. His foot was gone, clearly hacked off, and the wound was untreated.

She placed the money in front of him and was about to stand up when she heard him say something. "Find Selena. I'm looking for Selena."

Selena froze, staring at the guy in disbelief. "Jacob?"

Jacob couldn't say much, just nodded his head against the ground as he crawled forward.

Seeing him like this, Selena felt a stab of heartache. "What happened to you?"

Jacob's mind was stuck on one thing: replaceing Selena.

Selena quickly whipped out her phone and called for an ambulance. Soon enough, Jacob was taken away.

After her car was refueled, she followed the ambulance to the hospital.

The docs checked out Jacob's leg multiple times, but with his foot missing and only part of his ankle left, there wasn't much they could do. They had to amputate more of the infected part.

Selena waited outside, leaning against the cold wall.

Brian and Erin had already met tragic ends, and now Jacob was in this state. Was it still that shady organization behind all this?

After she got that jellyfish stamp, she hid it away. Had those people found Jacob?

Two hours later, Jacob was wheeled out.

A nurse had given him a bath, and now Jacob was clean.

But he had lost a ton of weight, his bones practically sticking out.

The doctor told her, "He's malnourished. He probably hasn't eaten much recently, just drinking some rainwater. The infection in his wound is severe, and we've had to amputate up to his knee. He'll need a wheelchair from now on. Plus, he's got some serious mental issues."

Selena sat by his bedside, hearing him mutter even in his sleep, "Find Selena, I was wrong, Selena."

Selena felt a pang of guilt thinking about Brian and Erin.

Even though she had decided to cut ties with this family, she never imagined they'd end up like this. Now, only Jacob was left alive in such a miserable state.

It wasn't until evening that Jacob woke up.

But he seemed a bit out of it, even scared of people.

When he saw Selena, his pupils shrank in fear. "Find Selena, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't hit me."

During his time on the streets, he had been beaten too.

"Jacob, it's me, Selena." Selena tried to talk to him, but Jacob just kept mumbling, like he couldn't see clearly.

Selena waved her hand in front of his eyes. Luckily, he reacted, meaning his eyes were fine.

"I'm Selena. You're safe now, don't worry," Selena said.

Jacob's tears flowed even more, like he finally realized he had found Selena. "Selena, those people are so scary, those people are so scary, that woman, and that woman, she's scary too." He was talking about Mia, but Selena didn't know that.
