Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 686 His Heart Softened

He let go of Selena and rubbed his temples, his head pounding.

"Go to the top floor," Selena finally said.

Raymond yanked her into the elevator.

When they got to the top floor, he saw the door slightly open and the doorknob on the ground. He frowned.

He kicked the door open, but no one was there.

He put Selena on the sofa and checked each room. Once he was sure no one was there, he picked up the doorknob. Someone had clearly forced it open.

He dragged a shoe cabinet to block the door and turned to look at her.

Selena was curled up on the sofa, her shoes off, showing dirty white socks.

He sat beside her and took off her socks.

She was still shaken, her toes curling as she pulled away a bit.

Raymond tossed the socks in the trash. "Is there a first aid kit here?"

Selena nodded and pointed to a cabinet.

He got the kit, laid out the meds on the coffee table, checked their dates, and then squeezed some ointment onto his fingertip. Raymond lifted her hair with one hand and applied the ointment to her swollen cheek with the other.

The cool touch made Selena's mind go blank for a moment.
