Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 120 He Got Hurt Because of Protecting Me

Selena was startled, and she saw a trace of fierceness in Raymond's eyes, followed by a kick that pushed the attacker away. Seeing that they had hit a brick wall tonight, the gangsters didn't dare to linger any longer. They got up from the ground and left in a sorry state.

"Mr. Montague! I'll take you to the hospital."

Selena held Raymond's hand, and her fingertips trembled slightly. However, her high heels were inconvenient, and her legs were hurting even more. Raymond frowned; it was his right hand that was injured, so it would be somewhat inconvenient.

He saw Selena directly throw her high heels away and stand barefoot on the ground. Her face showed a rare trace of panic.

Because of her injury, Raymond knew that if Catherine found out, she would probably tear her apart and tonight, thanks to Raymond, Selena owed him a favor. She followed him into his car while grabbing Jacob, who was trying to escape. "You're coming with me too!"

Jacob was miserable and a little scared of Selena. When he saw the luxury car, he was too afraid to refuse. Selena didn't want to say much to him and pushed him into the passenger seat. John, who was driving, saw Raymond injured and immediately stepped on the gas pedal.

The car quickly headed towards the nearest hospital.

A few minutes ago, the car where Selena had been sitting had caused a traffic jam due to her getting off. She had been in a hurry to catch Jacob and hadn't noticed that parking was not allowed in that spot.

As the car drove away, anger erupted from the cars behind. The scolding became more intense, so Alice told the driver.

"Let's go first. I'll call my sister and let her know. Maybe she will take another car to the old mansion later."

The driver had no choice, and the banquet was about to start, so it wouldn't be good to be late. That's why the car headed towards the old mansion.

Alice watched as the place got closer and closer, a hint of longing and excitement appearing in her eyes. This should be the first time she would meet Raymond in such a public and important occasion.

Before, she had only secretly looked at him from a distance, and maybe he would only see her as a passerby. Only during their last meeting did a hint of fluctuation appear in his eyes, but that fluctuation was very complicated, even with a trace of annoyance.

It didn't matter though, as long as she continued to work hard, one day, when standing by his side, he would like her and cherish her.

A blush appeared on her cheeks, and her palms became sweaty with nervousness. She took a deep breath, trying to portray a calm and graceful posture.

As for Selena, it would be better if she didn't come tonight. Alice didn't want this person to appear and steal her limelight.

Meanwhile, Selena had arrived at the hospital, her forehead covered in cold sweat. The doctor, seeing her dressed for a banquet, was somewhat surprised, but couldn't deny that she was beautiful. "Doctor, please examine his hand. It should need stitches."

Raymond didn't feel too good originally. After all, this was the first time he got injured for someone, and that someone was a woman he had only known for a short time.

He hadn't intended to block the knife, but when he saw her exposed fair back, he thought it would be unsightly if there was an extra scar there. So his body acted faster than his brain and blocked the sharp dagger. Now seeing Selena so worried, to the point where her complexion changed, he found it amusing. It seemed like the first time he had seen her display such a posture since knowing her.

Even on the first night waking up in bed together, she was so calm that he thought she would never have any other emotions.

This thought brought him a subtle but barely visible joy.

Selena's phone rang at this moment. It was Mr. Montague Sr. She exchanged a few words with the doctor and saw that the wound was being stitched, so she went into the corridor to answer the call.

"Grandpa Montague, I'm really sorry, Raymond... he hurt his hand protecting me and is getting stitches at the hospital. I don't think we can make it tonight."

Upon hearing that Raymond had finally come around and was willing to get hurt for Selena, Mr. Montague Sr. had no intention of blaming her. "Selena, are you okay?"

As for Raymond, he's a man, a little injury wouldn't be a big deal.

"I'm fine, but he got hurt quite badly, and it's all my fault."

"You silly girl, he is your husband, protecting you is his duty. Raymond did well this time. Stay there and take care of him. There will be other opportunities for me to introduce you to other people, no rush, and don't blame yourself." Selena felt warmed in her heart. She had always known that the old man cared for her very much. Okay, so I thought of secretly signing an agreement with Raymond, and her guilt became even stronger.

In the hospital room, the doctor had already sewn several stitches, and Raymond heard his phone ringing and saw that it was a call from the old man, which instantly irritated him.

If he didn't go to the banquet, I'm afraid grandpa would think that it was his trick to avoid that woman!
