Chapter 1122 The Cruelest Torture in This World
The corridor was quiet for half an hour, and Lawrence asked.
"Mr. Montague, you never really intended to get engaged to Tessa, right? To be honest, Selena's background doesn't match yours. If I pursue her responsibility this time, are you planning to stand on her side?" "Mr. Smith, how do you plan to hold Selena accountable?"
"Delia is her mother, isn't she? Delia pushed Tessa because of her. Tessa has never been treated like this in the Smith family."
That's true, Raymond didn't deny it. He had long heard about how the Smith family spoiled Tessa.
The corridor became quiet again. Lawrence didn't push him, just anxiously looking in the direction of the emergency room. All night long, Tessa was not brought out.
At the end of the corridor stood Wind. He knew that this time, Tessa had deliberately arranged everything.
Although Tessa was physically weak, once she made up her mind, she was willing to do anything, no matter the cost.
Just like this time, she used this incident to provoke Raymond, wasn't it to make Raymond see how unbearable Selena's family was? Moreover, she was injured, and the Smith family would definitely hold that couple accountable. So it was killing two birds with one stone. Wind stood quietly, feeling as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
Tessa was willing to go to such lengths for Raymond.
He remembered the last time Tessa told him to kill Selena during a hiking trip.
But plans couldn't keep up with changes. Selena left alone midway and met William from the Montague family, so he didn't dare to act rashly. Now that Tessa was in the emergency room, he had to clear all obstacles for her.
A fierce look flashed in Wind's eyes as he quietly left the place.
If Tessa couldn't survive, he would make Selena suffer the most brutal tortures in the world!
Selena was still resting at Ashbourne Manor. Her body had been severely depleted during this time. After returning home, she lay on the bed. Max was beside her, occasionally making a sound.
When Fiona saw her return in a daze, she knew that her visit to Raymond didn't go well.
She was angry. If Selena's elders were still alive, Selena wouldn't be so wronged.
But most of Selena's family members had passed away. Now, except for Shelley, no one came to Ashbourne Manor. She had no close relatives left. How could Raymond treat Selena like this?
Fiona sighed and instructed the chef to always have food ready in case Selena woke up hungry in the middle of the night.
Selena woke up in the middle of the night after sleeping for a few hours.
Her stomach hurt badly. She quickly got up, went downstairs to find some stomach medicine, took a few pills, and sat on the sofa.
The night was a bit chilly. After sitting for a while, she felt stiff all over.
She remembered Mario saying that they didn't use a condom during their last encounter, and her face turned pale.
She quickly checked the stomach medicine she had just taken to make sure it was safe, then felt relieved.
Then she looked down at her belly. She hadn't had her period this month. Could she really be pregnant?
But after returning from Mario, she had also been with Raymond.
Thinking about it, she felt a surge of self-loathing, which became more apparent after returning to Ashbourne Manor.
She was even a bit afraid to explore the answer.
She sat in the hall until six in the morning.
Fiona got up and was startled to see her looking so exhausted.
"Ms. Fair, if you're not feeling well, I can have someone take you to the hospital."
Selena instinctively touched her belly and slowly shook her head.
She remembered her first miscarriage and couldn't help but feel sad.
Fiona sighed again and started instructing the chef to prepare food.
This time, Selena's meeting with Shelley was too short, and given her poor state, Shelley forgot to tell her that Raymond knew Christopher was her first love and cared a lot about it. Selena didn't know this key point, so she still felt very wronged when she thought of Raymond.
The incident by the cliff was indeed easy to misunderstand, but Raymond should have at least given her a chance to explain, instead of immediately getting close to Tessa. She had the servants at Ashbourne Manor get her a new phone, and she called Raymond's number. She thought she would be blocked, but surprisingly, the call went through. Raymond was still at the hospital. Tessa's emergency treatment had lasted all night and wasn't over yet.
He heard his phone ringing, picked it up, and saw that it was Selena calling.
He didn't answer but kept looking at the flashing screen as if he was frozen.
The call ended automatically, and soon it rang again.
Lawrence and Richard were also in the corridor. Both found the phone ringing too noisy. Lawrence even guessed directly.
"Is it Selena calling?"
Raymond didn't speak, so Lawrence walked over and hung up the phone.
"Tessa's life is uncertain, and you want to talk to the culprit?"
Raymond almost wanted to retort that Selena wasn't the main culprit. Why should she bear the responsibility for her parents' mistakes?
She had been sold by her family since she was a child. Why should she bear this responsibility?
But the Smith family was angry now. If he said that, Selena would be even more targeted.novelbin
