Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 176 Still No Peace
Carter was a bit stunned, but when he heard his mother had been in a car accident, he couldn’t just sit still. He immediately put on his clothes and was about to get out of bed.
His phone was placed on the bed, and the call was on speaker, with the driver’s voice continuing to come from inside.
“Young master, Madam hopes you can care for your girlfriend. She’s also injured and should be at the police station now. Madam said there’s no need for you to come see her.”
Lillian originally wanted to act coy with Carter, but when she heard the words “girlfriend,” her
whole body stiffened.
She had never met Ms. Montague, so the girlfriend mentioned by Ms. Montague couldn’t be her.
She suspiciously looked at Carter, but at this moment, Carter only wanted to go to the hospital, but she finally knew who the girlfriend mentioned by the driver was.
It was Selena.
He had once asked Selena to pretend to be his girlfriend.
But he didn’t have time to explain and quickly put on his coat. He bent down and kissed Lillian on the lips.
“Baby, wait patiently for me. I’m going out.”
Lillian felt a bit unwilling and was already extremely sensitive. She knew Ms. Montague didn’t like the women around Carter and had always been afraid of being the third party.
“Carter, can I go with you?”
party.
Carter directly rejected her, “I’ll take you to meet my mom next time, but not this time. I have to
go now.”
Lillian opened her mouth but didn’t know what else to say.
The room suddenly fell into silence.
Feeling forlorn, Lillian recalled that she is a junior employee at the Montague family’s current platform, and being with Carter was unexpected, but she genuinely liked Carter.

She couldn’t wait to show her face in front of Grace, thinking that Selena had comforted her before, and Selena is also good friends with Carter.
Lillian puts on her clothes and went to Selena’s door, pressing the doorbell. But no one answers the door. Lillian refuses to leave and waits.
After waiting for two hours, Selena finally arrived home. She came back after dealing with the police station and planned to freshen up before going to visit Ms. Montague As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw a woman standing at her doorstep, giving her a headache.
Lillian spotted her and her eyes lit up.
“Selena!”
She walks up quickly, sounding urgent. “I heard that Carter’s mother had a car accident, and he has already gone to the hospital. Can you help me get the specific room number? I want to go
visit her.”
Selena had originally planned to tidy up her place first before going to the hospital, but now Lillian is persistently asking her.
If she goes with Lillian and Ms, Montague says something, Lillian might also hold a grudge against her. Now that Lillian is her neighbor, things could escalate out of control.
Selena suddenly felt how troublesome her days were becoming, even though she moved away from Ashbourne Manor to her new home. There was still no peace.
If she refused Lillian too bluntly, it would be awkward to try and get along with Mr. Ashford in the future, after all, Lillian is Mr. Ashford’s girlfriend.
Selena rubbed her forehead with her hand. “I will let you know once I get the room number. Give me your cellphone number.”
The two exchanged contact information at the door. Selena returned to her room, feeling tired and her head buzzing. After all, she was not the only one who was shocked today; Jane was too.
She filled the bathtub with water, intending to take a bath and then immediately apologize to Ms. Montague. But as she was taking a soak, she fell asleep, while in the tub.
She woke up in a daze when she heard knocking at the door. Taking the clothes beside her, she put them on while supporting her heavy head, and went into the living room.
The sound at the door continues, and she tightens the belt of her clothes. She sees Lillian

standing outside. “Selena, it’s already this late. Did you get the room number?”
Selena can barely see the other person’s face, so she reluctantly calls Carter and gets the room number, which she then hands over to Lillian. Lillian expresses her sincere gratitude and immediately goes downstairs, presumably to the hospital.
As for Carter, when he received Selena’s call he detected that something is not right with her voice.
“My mom said that you are also injured. Take good rest. Her condition is not serious, just a minor concussion. She will be discharged soon.”
How could Selena really not even look at him? After all, she has a responsibility towards him.
“Mr. Ashford, cough, I’ll be right there.”
“Selena, are you feeling unwell? Don’t force yourself. I’m worried that you might faint halfway through driving.”
“I’m fine.”
Carter couldn’t persuade her, so he said, “My cousin is also coming. Your current location is right in the middle of the Montague family and the hospital. I’ll ask him to give you a ride, so don’t drive for now.”
Selena hurriedly wanted to refuse, but all that came out of her mouth was a series of coughs. Carter had already hung up the phone.
Anxiously, Selena called Carter again, but all she heard was a mechanical female voice reminding her that the line was busy. It seemed that Carter had already called Raymond. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
