Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 535 Is she your designer?

Dr. Barnes found himself reflecting on a conversation, one that now took on new significance given Raymond's evident concern. "Are you referring to your little designer?" he had asked. Raymond hadn't denied it, instead replying, "Her hand is important. It's crucial that there are no lasting effects. Join me tonight and examine it closely."

"Why not simply have her visit the hospital?" Dr. Barnes had suggested, but Raymond had been searching for a reason to bring Selena to his hotel. Aside from her hand, he couldn't conjure up another plausible excuse.

Dr. Barnes, watching through the digital screen, seemed to grasp Raymond's subtle scheme. He found himself intrigued by the woman who had so clearly captivated Raymond. "Fine, I'll be there at nine tonight," he agreed. After ending the call, Raymond immediately reached out to Selena.

Upon seeing his call, her initial instinct was to ignore it. "Mr. Montague," she began, her voice cool and detached.

"I've arranged for a specialist to examine your hand tonight. Aren't you worried?" Raymond asked, his voice laced with worry.

Selena's friend Shelley had mentioned that Dr. Barnes was the preeminent surgeon in all of New York, so it was likely that Raymond had engaged his services.

"No need," Raymond replied.
