GoodReadChapter 909 That Kiss Was Light Yet Heavy Selena's heart was thumping like crazy, but the flood had already crashed in.
A landslide from the mountaintop, heavy rain mixed with an earthquake, total chaos.
When Selena cto, she caught bits of a conversation.
"Ms. Fair should wake up soon." "Is her head messed up?" "Nah, just a concussion. She might feel dizzy for a few days, but she'll be alright." "What about Raymond?" "Mr. Montague's still in the ICU. If he makes it through today, he should be good." Hearing Raymond's name, Selena freaked out.
Raymond was seriously messed up. He had wounds in his chest and head, and he got swept into the mudslide.
she really okay?' Her heart ached, and she remembered the kiss before the flood hit, light yet heavy, more powerful than any words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe tried to speak, but she had no strength.
When she woke up in the evening, she saw the white ceiling.
Next to the hospital bed was Shelley, someone she hadn't seen in ages.
Seeing her awake, Shelley freaked out and hugged her. "Selena, what happened? When I heard the nurses say your name, I thought it was just someone with the sname. Why are you in the hospital again?" Selena and Shelley hadn't seen each other in forever; both had been swamped.
"Shelley." Selena coughed twice, feeling her chest still tight, making it hard to talk.
"Take it easy. If you can't talk yet, don't push it." Shelley patted her back and whispered, "Mr. William Montague just left this morning. I heard he stayed by your side all night. I could only sit nearby and cover after he left." Hearing that William had stayed by her bedside for so long, Selena felt super guilty.
William's health was already shaky. Knowing that Raymond was in critical condition must have been another blow to him.
"Shelley, where's Raymond?" Selena didn't know how long she had been out. She vaguely remembered hearing someone say Raymond was in the ICU, and her heart tightened.
Shelley replied, "He got out of the ICU. I heard he had several surgeries. The gunshot wound on his chest got infected. Now he can't even move in bed, and his head's all bandaged up. I went to see him; it's the first tI've seen him in such a bad shape." Shelley's family was loaded and well-connected in Silver Bay City. She used to think Raymond was untouchable, never expecting to see him like this.
Selena fell silent, lowering her eyelashes and gripping the bedsheet tightly.
Shelley sighed, poured swater, and handed it to her. "Selena, I heard... never mind, just focus on getting better. You look like crap." Selena felt weak all over. Even saying a few words made her chest hurt like hell. She lay back down and closed her eyes.
Shelley watched her and gently tucked the blanket around her.
When Selena woke up again, it was already the next day.
The doctor was setting up an IV. Seeing her awake, he gave sinstructions. "Ms. Harper left early this morning. She's been coming to the hospital a lot lately. Seems her boyfriend's cousin had surgery and needs to stay here for half a year. Her boyfriend visits often too." Selena didn't say anything; her throat felt like sandpaper.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe doctor checked her temperature and, seeing she didn't have a fever, sighed in relief. "Good thing you don't have a fever. Mr. Montague had one all day yesterday and had to be resuscitated." Selena freaked out and tried to get up. "How is he? Is he okay?" The doctor said, "He's fine. They moved him to a general ward early this morning."
The doctor, who had been with the team searching the mountain with Raymond, had a close relationship with the Montague Family. He looked at Selena with a gentle expression. "Mr. Montague must really like you." This statement stunned Selena, and she thought of the pregnant Brenda, forcing a smile. "I'm not his girlfriend. You misunderstood." "Really? He's already like this. How could you not be his girlfriend?" The doctor raised his eyebrows in surprise, clearly not buying it.
Selena didn't know what he meant by "like this," so she stayed quiet.
The doctor removed the IV bottle and took the needle out of her hand. Ms.
Fair, someone will bring you food later. You've been on a nutrient drip, so try to eat something." The content. is on novelenglish.net! Selena nodded and smiled. "Okay."
"Also, be careful when you walk. Your leg was injured. Although it was treated promptly, you still need to be cautious. You should thank Mr. Montague for that," the doctor added and then left with the tray of medicine. Selena was a bit surprised. 'Is my leg injured? Why don't I remember?' She touched her leg, and it did hurt a bit, but after lying in bed for half a month, it was almost healed.
She and Raymond were swept into the mudslide together. The doctor said she should thank Raymond. Did Raymond briefly regain consciousness and treat her leg? But was that possible? Raymond was so severely injured at the time.
She couldn't figure it out, so she closed her eyes.
