Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 518 Raymond, Her Sole Anchor

For three days, Selena had been confined within the sterile walls of the hospital, nursing her injured hand with painstaking care. She barely dared to move it, fearing that even the slightest motion might impede her recovery. Shelley had remained steadfastly by her side throughout this ordeal. It was evident that Selena's sole preoccupation was the healing of her hand, her focus so singular that even the mention of Raymond failed to elicit the faintest flicker in her eyes.

On the third day, the doctor finally deemed Selena fit to leave, though he cautioned her to continue taking care of her hand. During her hospital stay, Selena had received several messages from Raymond, to which she had not responded. Now, Raymond had ceased sending them.

Shortly after her discharge, Selena received an invitation from a previous collaborator, the owner of a villa she had once decorated. The invitation was for a wine-tasting event to be held that evening.

The gathering was small and private, hosted within the very house she had once adorned with her artistic touch. The host was none other than Henry from the Vanguard Group, a familiar face from her Harvard University days.

Prior to their university years, Henry had been the one to introduce her to Caterlington, who respectfully referred to him as "Uncle." Selena had always maintained a cordial relationship with him.

"Mr. Spencer, my hand is injured; I might not be able to paint," she had informed him.

"You don't need to paint, just come and have a look at the house you designed," he had reassured her.

Feeling it would be impolite to decline, Selena agreed to attend.
