Reclaiming Her Heart

The scene was instantly filled with screams.

The other thugs saw their friend being hit and immediately rushed at Raymond.

But Raymond was very skilled, and in less than half a minute, he had the men lying on the ground, groaning in pain.

The crowd erupted into enthusiastic applause, with some even whistling more fervently.

Raymond didn't say anything, just glanced at Tessa.

Tessa felt pampered, and the feeling was simply wonderful.

"Raymond, you're so good to me. Not only did you agree to consider being with me, but you also protected me. I really like you."

Another round of whistles filled the air.

But the lighting was too dim for anyone to see who was who.

As Raymond walked past the pregnant woman, he felt her toe brush against his, but he didn't think much of it, assuming it was an accident. He left a quick "sorry" and walked away.

Tessa stood nearby, close to the pregnant woman, and called Lawrence.

"Lawrence, Raymond said he's considering being with me. It's true; he just fought for me."

She spoke with great excitement.

Lawrence quickly tried to calm her down, "Are you out of the hospital now? Didn't I tell you to rest there for a few days?"

"Alright, I'm heading back to the hospital now. Raymond personally brought me back. I wanted to take advantage of Selena's absence to make a good impression on him, but I realized it was unnecessary. When I mentioned Selena, his eyes were filled with disgust. This time, I've won. Raymond has indeed given up on Selena. Lawrence, tell Mom that I want to discuss marriage with the Montague family. I can't wait any longer." Lawrence chuckled and sighed.

"At least get Raymond's agreement first. No girl should be this forward."

Tessa stuck out her tongue, "I gotta go. Raymond is waiting for me."

She hung up the phone and walked decisively towards Raymond.

The pregnant woman remained seated on the couch, looking out of place.

But in this bar, anything could happen. There had been cases of pregnant women coming to bars only to catch their husbands cheating. It was nothing new.novelbin

Selena sat there, feeling like her whole body was being pricked by needles.

Her neck had been struck by Christopher's alter ego, and now it hurt terribly. After passing out, she had been fed something by Christopher's alter ego, leaving her too weak to speak. From the moment Raymond appeared, she had been staring at him, her eyes almost popping out.

Selena had so much to say, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open her mouth.

She could only look at him with intense, concerned eyes.

But she had been disguised by Christopher's alter ego. Now she looked like a bloated pregnant woman, weighing over 160 pounds. Sitting there, she resembled a ball. No one approached her.

Her face was even covered with some scars. She couldn't recognize herself in the mirror, thanks to Christopher's alter ego's thorough disguise.

When Selena saw Tessa following Raymond, her initial excitement vanished. She couldn't understand why Tessa was with him. Selena heard their conversation. She heard Tessa calling Raymond's name affectionately and saw Tessa looking at him with love.

She saw Raymond fighting for Tessa, his punches swift and fierce.

Raymond had lost weight.

Why would Raymond fight for a woman like Tessa, knowing Selena didn't like her?

How could Raymond agree to consider being with Tessa?

Did he really not want to find her anymore?

Selena's hand, hanging by her side, tried to clench, hoping the pain from her nails digging into her flesh would wake her up. But even this small action was impossible. Tears slowly streamed down Selena's face, her heart aching.

She could even hear her increasingly erratic breathing, accompanied by the pounding of her broken pulse, hammering her flesh.

Christopher's alter ego slowly sat down beside her and said, "So, after seeing it with your own eyes, do you still want to go back to Raymond?"
