Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 556 Go Away, I Won't Look for You Either Selena moved with a hint of frailty, faltering as she reached for the door yet reiterated a statement.

"In the future, Raymond need not seekout for such matters." "Go ahead; I won't be looking for you either." He remained with his back towards her, not turning around at all.

Selena thought to herself that it was finally over.

Not being sought out by him was simply a relief.

When she opened the door to the room, she saw the nurse's surprised expression.

But she pretended not to notice, knowing she must look disheveled at the moment.

This time, Raymond had been ruthless, leaving quite a mark.

The nurse didn't dare say anything, feeling disdainful towards such a woman.

Mr. Montague was already in the hospital, yet she still remembered to cand climb into bed, truly despicable. "Mr. Montague, your wound needs dressing." Raymond turned his back, eyes closed, seething inside.

The nurse carefully unwrapped his bandages, revealing the grueswound, quickly redressing it, and applying fresh bandages.

Throughout this process, Raymond did not wear any clothes.

After the bandaging was completed, the nurse, observing the marks scratched on his shoulder, blushed, unable to resist lightly touching with her fingertips, then moved from behind, attempting to embrace him. However, Raymond's intuition was sharp; he preemptively pushed her away and phoned Dr. Barnes.

"Cover and remove this woman." The nurse's face turned ghastly pale as she couldn't help but cling to his leg.

"Mr. Montague, why is it that women who act urgently are acceptable while I am not? I am even cleaner than she is." Raymond's brow furrowed with agitation.

When Dr. Barnes arrived, the entire room seemed enveloped in coldness. He had the nurse escorted out and personally tended to Raymond's wound examination.

"The wound is healing slowly. After a few more days of observation, you can be discharged. The fever has subsided, but we need to watch out for any potential repercussions from the concussion." Raymond remained silent, staring straight ahead.

Dr. Barnes still held a list in his hand, hesitated, then asked, "How did you get those marks on your shoulder?" Dr. Barnes held similarly traditional beliefs, inherently steeped in his profession as a physician, where standards were rigorously upheld. "Penny." Raymond closed his eyes, leaning irritably against the headboard.

Dr. Barnes was surprised that these two individuals could engage in intimacy within the hospital and couldn't resist advising them.

"Exercise srestraint, indulging in this too frequently isn't beneficial," he advised.

"That's because you haven't met someone you truly fancy," Raymond retorted immediately, his brow furrowing, perhaps feeling a tinge of reluctance in his words. He quickly added, "However, we've already played many times; we won't do it again in the future." Dr. Barnes thought this person would never tire of it; given Raymond's character, he wouldn't easily be swayed. Once he truly cared, it would likely be relentless.

Never did he expect him to claim he was tired so soon.

"That's fine," said Dr. Barnes.

Raymond lowered his eyelashes, saying nothing.

Meanwhile, Selena returned to Ashbourne Manor, took a shower, changed clothes, and lay on the bed, too exhausted to even move a finger.

However, a call cin from the police station, requesting her and Steven to cover.

Reluctantly mustering her spirits, she made her way to the police station. Meanwhile, Steven brought along Arthur and Victoria, the elderly couple, who immediately began to bicker upon arrival, pointing at her face and labeling her as the murderer.

Frustrated by the commotion, Selena turned to one of the officers and inquired, "Has the autopsy report been released?" "Selena, the body has already been cremated long ago. Lily's maternal family hardly cared for her, so the decision for cremation falls to the husband without the need for an autopsy report," the officer responded.

Taking a deep breath, Selena questioned, "Just because Steven is her husband, does it give him then is it give him ther unilateral right to decide her fate? The swift cremation of the body raises suspicions, and it is evident to all!" "You little slut, what nonsense are you spouting!" Victoria was furious, but given Selena's previous behavior, she didn't dare lash out.

Selena took another deep breath.

"Lily must have visited the hospital numerous times before. It's worth investigating the hospital records. Having endured decades of domestic abuse, it's entirely plausible that Steven directly caused her demise this time!"

"Miss Selena, please don't get agitated. We are diligently investigating, but without a body and any surveillance equipment within' ve the house, this case indeed presents challenges for us. Your understanding is greatly appreciated. Furthermore, Lily was an employee of your company before her passing; perhaps you can address this matter privately with Mr. Steven." At that moment, Selena found herself at a loss for words, a tinge of sorrow seeping in. The police were speaking truthfully, as the law hinges on evidence.

With Steven's family having already cremated the body and sof Lily's maternal relatives deceased or estranged, her only support lay within her in-laws and her two sons.

"What about the domestic abuse?" she inquired. These hospitals must surely harbor records.

The officers seemed somewhat resigned. "Since Lily never pursued her husband's responsibility, it only registers as disagreements between spouses." Speechless, Selena's lips quivered.

Meanwhile, upon hearing the police's statements, Steven beside her wore a smug smile on his face.

"Selena, you heard it, too. The police want us to settle this privately. If you don't compensate us with ten million, I won't let you off the hook. I will EX continue to spread the word online that your company disregards human life and engages in illegal overtime!" Selena could afford the ten million now, but there was no way she would hand over that money to Steven, absolutely not!
