Reclaiming Her Heart

Shelley felt breathless; Raymond actually said that Selena would never truly care for anyone.

When the Fair family treated her poorly in the past, she never thought of revenge.

When the people of Ridgefield let her down, all she did was cut off contact.

She seemed cold, but in reality, she was the softest and kindest one.

Raymond was the person she liked, the one she had shared a bed with for so long, and now such words came out of his mouth.

Shelley found it ironic. Indeed, she was right to tell Selena not to fall in love with Raymond before.

She took a step back and watched as Raymond's car drove away.

She took a deep breath, wiped the tears from her face, and immediately ran towards the accident site.

The scene was already chaotic, with many police officers present.

The people stuck behind had no idea how serious the accident was and kept asking when the road would be cleared.novelbin

When Shelley reached the burning car, she saw that the fire was still raging. The police had already cordoned off the area and were urging the drivers to make way for the fire truck; otherwise, the fire wouldn't be put out, and there was a risk of an explosion.

Shelley stood there, feeling weak all over, watching the burning car and almost fainted.

The more angry and worried she was, the more she hated Raymond for abandoning Selena at such a critical moment.

It made Selena's affection seem so worthless!

Twenty minutes later, the fire truck arrived and extinguished the fire. Once it was confirmed that there was no risk of an explosion, the police moved in to investigate. Shelley quickly followed.

"There's no one inside. The passengers and driver must have gotten out midway."

She covered her mouth, her eyes filled with relief.

A police officer came up to her and said, "I'll have someone check the roadside. They must have left some traces if they got out midway."

Shelley was overjoyed and nodded frantically.

She followed a group of police officers in high heels, checking the road they had come from, and finally found some blood-stained stones on the ground.

It looked like they had been ground by someone.

The police were also asking people around if they had seen a woman.

"I did see a woman, a pregnant one, who got out of the car in front. She seemed injured, and a kind young girl took her in a car, probably to the hospital."

Shelley immediately had someone check the hospitals in Silver Bay City, but Selena's visit didn't reveal her identity. She had only bandaged her hand at a small clinic and then fell asleep on a bench there.

During this time, Kassy was being nagged by Asher.

"Look at you, getting yourself into trouble again. What if those debt collectors suddenly show up? We barely managed to escape, and if you get caught, they'll really sell you for money."

"Asher, she's pregnant. We can't just ignore her. What if something happens to the baby? Life is precious."

Asher looked at Kassy and sighed slightly.

"Can we leave now? She seems fine."

"Let's wait until her family comes to pick her up."

"You're really beyond saving. The longer we stay in Silver Bay City, the more danger we're in. Those debt collectors have their ways. Our phones are probably being tracked, and it's only a matter of time before they find us." "If they come, then leave me alone. Maybe this is my fate."

Kassy, looking about sixteen, sat beside him, her whole demeanor lifeless.

Asher sighed again, even starting to resent Selena's appearance.

If they hadn't saved Selena, they could have gotten off the car last night, run past the traffic jam, and left Silver Bay City, never to return in this lifetime.

He sat beside her, knowing he couldn't persuade her. Kassy was too kind-hearted.

At eight in the morning, Selena woke up.

She opened her eyes to see a young face.

Kassy, seeing her awake, breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're finally awake. That's great. You applied some medicine last night and fell asleep on the chair."

Selena got up and heard her ask again.

"What's your family's phone number? I'll have someone come pick you up."

Selena took her phone and dialed Raymond's number without hesitation.

The call connected, and his cold voice came through.

"Hello?"

"Raymond, it's me."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, and then the call was abruptly hung up.

Selena opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but all she heard was the "beep beep beep" sound.
