Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 116 Come up, I'll take you to the hospital
Seeing that Raymond was going to wait for Selena here, Fiona became anxious, hoping that Miss Fair would return quickly. Although Miss Fair had said that she had no feelings for Mr. Montague himself she still didn't want things to become too tense between them.
Mr. Montague's time was precious, and it was clear that he didn't like Miss Fair either. Now that he was willing to wait here, if Miss Fair took too long, Mrs. Montague might come looking for trouble again.
Fiona quickly found a corner where no one was around to call Selena.
"Miss Fair, Mr. Montague is waiting for you here, should you tie Max outside for now?"
If Selena came back now and Max barked Raymond would definitely take notice as he would have to pass by from the front. Selena knew that Raymond was here to confront her, and the worst-case scenario would be that their collaboration ended.
Or even worse, Raymond would publicly announce that he would never work with the studio she was in. Selena's brow furrowed as she held the dog leash, thinking about how to explain.
After all, she initially thought that they would divorce quickly, so she didn't think there was a need to explain anything. No one knew that it would develop to this point, but thinking about Raymond's cold attitude towards her, she felt It doesn't matter anymore, just apologize sincerely, She thought.
However, she definitely couldn't let the other party know that Max lives in Ashbourne Manor, so she went back to replace Mia, hoping Mia could take care of Max for a while. She wanted to deal with Raymond first and then come back to pick up Max, so as not to annoy Raymond further because of his allergy to dog hair.
Mia was naturally thrilled and immediately agreed. This back and forth delayed about twenty minutes of time. She started running towards Ashbourne Manor, afraid that Raymond would become impatient.
But just as she ran less than a hundred meters away from Ashbourne Manor, she saw Raymond's car driving out of Ashbourne Manor.
Raymond's face was somewhat grim. Twenty minutes had already exceeded his limit. Even when he waited for important business partners, they never arrived more than five minutes late, let alone Selena who stood him up for the third time. His brows knitted, and he saw Selena through the car window at a glance. Selena was running in a hurry and was surprised when she saw Raymond's car. In her astonishment, she stumbled and fell on the ground.
Her face twisted in pain, with cold sweat dripping from her forehead. The car slowly stopped beside her, and the car window rolled down, revealing Raymond's cold face.
His hands were resting on the files on his knees wearing a well-tailored black suit that made him look distant. Selena forced herself to stand up but because of her sprained foot, her lips turned white from the pain, and tears welled up in her eyes due to the sudden pain.
"Mr. Montague."
She called out, then opened her mouth wanting to explain, such as not intentionally hiding her identity, but instead she heard Raymond ask coldly,
"Do you live nearby?"
Selena was stunned for a moment and couldn't react, then Raymond asked the second question.
"Is your foot okay?"
After all they collided and they weren't complete strangers. They couldn't just leave like this and the fall looked painful. Selena's pants were torn with a hole, her knee was bleeding, and her foot was sprained, so she could barely stand. She was about to answer, but she couldn't help but make a hissing sound when she moved her leg. She lowered her head and glanced at her knee, only to discover that there was a small sharp stone embedded in it, which explained why it hurt so much.
The car door opened, and Raymond sat inside, his tone calm.
"Get in, I'll take you to the hospital."
There was a hospital nearby not far from here, only a ten-minute straight distance, which was indeed on the way.
Selena's mind briefly pondered then she confirmed one thing. Raymond didn't know her identity.
An immediate polite smile appeared on her face, and she no longer had to worry in her heart.
With Raymond's complete lack of interest in her, perhaps even after the contract ended, he wouldn't know her identity.
It was for the best. She wanted to say no need, but she thought
"Son, can you go back and pick up Max"
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Montague."
