Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1244 Raymond is Watching You

Selena gripped the mop tightly, guided by a voice in her ear. She managed to avoid bumping into anyone, keeping her head down as she mopped the floor in front of her.

"Raymond is watching you."

The words in her ear made her freeze, her eyes instantly welling up with tears.

She fought hard to hold them back, not wanting to cry.

Raymond recognized her. It was the same waitress from earlier. Carter had mentioned she had vision problems, but she seemed perfectly normal now.

Maybe it was the dim lighting, but for a moment, in the silhouette cast by the outside light, he thought he saw Selena.

The voice in Selena's ear continued.

"Time's up. You've heard enough and stayed long enough. It's time to come back. You need to take your medication in half an hour."

Selena held the mop and slowly walked past Raymond.

But they didn't brush shoulders. There was still a five-foot gap between them, like two parallel lines that never intersected.

Raymond looked down, pulled out a new cigarette, and lit it.

As Selena walked away, through the swirling smoke, he caught a whiff of a familiar scent.
