Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 150: Realizing It's Another Lie

Selena was in a daze, not sure what he was talking about for a moment. Raymond, impatient, saw her phone slip from her hand and picked it up. However, her phone was password-protected and required fingerprint unlocking. He grabbed Selena's hand and used her fingerprint to unlock the phone, then scrolled through her contacts.

Her contact list was extensive, and this was her work phone, so Raymond was unaware that she had two phones. He searched through the contact list but couldn't replace anyone labeled as "husband." His brow furrowed as he suspiciously glanced at her. Her contact list seemed clean, with company remarks for client contacts. He scrolled down and indeed didn't replace any mention of a husband. However, he noticed his own phone number with the note "Mr. Montague." Real and straightforward.

Oddly, he felt stifled and irritated. He briefly flipped through the messages but found nothing. It was strange for a married woman not to have her husband's phone number stored. He instructed John to drive to the hospital since he had done everything he could. The hospital would surely have a solution.

Selena sat quietly this time, still haunted by the embarrassment of their previous encounter. She would rather let the blood dry up in her palms than voluntarily lean towards Raymond again. Her hands clenched tightly, her teeth biting her lip, her eyes filled with struggle, and sweat forming on her forehead. Her body trembled slightly from suppressing her emotions.

On the other hand, Raymond had already put down his phone and leaned back, displaying an air of casual indifference. Even though he had just used force, his demeanor remained regal. Selena didn't look at him, focusing on the fact that the hospital was getting closer, coincidentally the same hospital where her father was. She thought of their last awkward encounter, furrowing her brow, hoping not to run into him again.

She had been quite unlucky recently, frequently coming to the hospital. As they approached the drop-off point, she caught sight of James being supported by people as they emerged from the lobby. James was in the late stage of liver cancer and shouldn't have been discharged at this time, especially not at this particular moment. He hadn't even bothered to give her a phone call. Standing in front of James were Alice and Nick, assisting him on either side, the picture of filial piety. Selena blinked her eyes, thinking it was just her poor mental state, that she must have been mistaken. However, as the car approached, she could see it clearly. Nick was exceptionally attentive, and James had a smile on his face. They seemed to be having a warm conversation, a scene of fatherly love and filial piety.

Selena had hidden James's condition from the hospital and claimed that only she could handle his discharge. But now, no one had informed her. If someone else had handled the discharge, they would have undoubtedly discovered James's condition. So why did they take him out of the hospital now? What were their intentions?

Selena didn't dare to delve deeper into her thoughts. She had just felt feverish a moment ago, but now she felt cold. Raymond also noticed the group at the entrance and raised an eyebrow. He had never paid much attention to that woman, and seeing James didn't affect him in the slightest. He hadn't thought of going down to say hello.

"You can get out now," he urged Selena, but he saw her straighten up, staring fixedly at the group.

"Do you know them?" Raymond's tone was calm, and seeing her regain some clarity, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Selena wanted to say she didn't know them but realized it would be another lie. Telling that lie would only lead to countless more lies to cover it up, so she chose to pretend not to hear him. She definitely couldn't get out of the car now, or she would come face to face with those people, causing embarrassment for both sides.
