Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 893 Feeling Sorry for Her

Nathan peeled out of there like a bat outta hell.

Nobody had a clue a dude got whacked here, except for Selena, who'd been chilling in her car a bit away and didn't bother to come over.

Selena figured since she didn't scoop up Max, she'd swing by to see if Betty managed to snag a cab. She sure didn't expect to catch that wild scene.

She was too far to catch the deets of their beef; all she saw was Nathan offing someone and Betty nearly taking Nathan out.

Ronald once told her Betty was like a desert rose, a cactus. Try to pick her, and you'd end up bleeding.

Guess he was spot on.

Selena hung around for another ten minutes before cruising over.

She played it cool, like she just got there, and rolled down the window. "Still no cab? Hop in, I'll give you a lift."

When Betty saw her, she suddenly felt like bawling.

People are funny like that. When no one's around to see their pain, they can tough it out.

But the second someone shows a bit of care, all the bottled-up feelings come crashing down.

This time, Betty didn't argue and slid into the passenger seat without a word.

As Selena hit the gas, she heard Betty sniffling.
