NovelOnlineChapter 915 Stunned by His Shamelessness Selena was floored by his audacity, but when she caught sight of the wound on his chest, she quickly looked away and quietly wiped the water off his legs. She grabbed the pajamas nearby and draped them over him, tying a loose knot.
Then she bent down to drain the water from the tub.
As soon as she leaned down, he wrapped his arms around her from behind, holding her tight.
Selena froze and heard him say, "Why are you so distant?" His voice was still rough, not fully recovered.
Selena's fingers just touched the warm, soothing water.
She pulled the plug, and the water slowly drained away.

In the dead of night, Selena still sat by the hospital bed, staring at his face for a long time.
Raymond had great skin and perfect features. Even though he looked pale, it didn't take away from his handsomeness.
Taking advantage of the quiet surroundings and the dim hallway lights, she slowly reached out and touched his cheek.
It wasn't that she was distant; being with him meant facing a lot of challenges.
She finally got what Alex had said: if she didn't have the guts, she shouldn't cto see him.
She hadn't even been with Raymond yet, but she already had a sense of the pressures she'd face standing by his side.
She couldn't be a clinging vine, always waiting for him to save her; that would only weigh him down. Raymond had his mission: the Montague family.
Selena also had her mission: to be responsible for everyone who signed with S.M Corporation.
Just as her fingertips were about to pull away, a larger hand grabbed them.
She looked at him in surprise, but his eyes were still closed.
He just silently held her hand, interlocking their fingers.
On such a night, their fingertips intertwined, warmth exchanged.
Raymond was still very weak; if she struggled a bit, she could break free. But she said nothing.

Meanwhile, Brenda had been waiting at Manston Manor, but she couldn't get inside because the security at the gate wouldn't let her in.
Brenda shouted, "Isn't it the sif I wait for Mr. Montague inside? Besides, I'm carrying his baby. If I faint here, can you take responsibility?" She had dodged the paternity test, pretended to stay in the hospital for a day, and then ran out when William had returned to the Montague Villa.
Brenda knew she couldn't turn back now; this was a one-way road. It was her greed that had led her step by step to this point.
The bodyguards exchanged glances, feeling a bit troubled. After all, Brenda had been inside before. Raymond hadn't given any orders forbidding her entry and she had indeed accompanied Raymond.
Someone called Raymond, but his phone had been lost in the flood, and he had been hospitalized for over half amonth without getting a new one, so his phone was off.
Brenda roughly knew no one would answer the phone, so she clutched her stomach. "My stomach hurts so much. If something happens to me, you won't be able to explain it to Mr. Montague. Letin; I'll just wait in the living room for him to cback." She didn't dare go to the hospital again, worried that William might cover and insist on a paternity test, which would expose everything.
So it was best to wait for Raymond at Manston Manor, to show him how worried she was about him.
Seeing her in genuine pain, the bodyguard had no choice but to say, "Mr. Montague doesh fallow anyon to enter the second floor without permission. Ms. Ramirez, you'd better wait on the first floor."
