Chapter 284 She Felt Her Palm Burning
By now, they were already on the second floor. The doctor guiding Selena pointed to a nearby couch.
"Max's surgery room is right here. You can wait here."
.
Then, the doctor turned to Olivia "Your cat will need about twenty minutes. You and your..."
The doctor hesitated, and Olivia seized the moment, lifting her chin.
"Boyfriend."
The doctor smiled.
"You two can wait in another room. Follow me, we'll be quick."
When Olivia said "boyfriend," Raymond glanced at Selena from the corner of his eye.
But Selena was just anxiously staring at the room where Max was having surgery, not paying any attention.
He lowered his lashes slightly and let Olivia pull him to another room.
Seeing no interaction between the two, Olivia sighed in relief.
As they sat down, she continued.
"Did you see the marks on Selena's neck? Did she often come to work with those kinds of marks before?"
The implication was clear: Selena often had such marks from men, and as a married woman, she wasn't worthy of him.
Raymond didn't say anything, leaning back slightly.
"Raymond, I'm asking you." Olivia's tone was a bit whiny. "Did she often come to work with marks?"
Raymond thought of the first night.
The hickeys were even more numerous that time.
"Once, maybe."
His tone was indifferent, like he wasn't interested in the topic.
But to Olivia, it meant he wasn't interested in Selena.
Olivia felt completely relieved. But then she got a bit uneasy. Could those two strands of hair have been left by Raymond's wife?
"Grandpa probably wants you and your wife to have kids. You and she..."
Mentioning other women made Raymond indifferent, but mentioning his wife made him clearly displeased and resistant.
His double eyelids narrowed, and even his hair seemed to express his disgust for that woman.
Olivia chuckled lightly, recalling what Raymond had said at the hotel. "Olivia, I remember we haven't made up yet."
The smile slowly faded.
Now was a good opportunity.
Just as she was about to speak, a servant's timid voice came from the door. "Mr. Stone asked you to go back first. He left me here to wait, and when it's over, I'll bring the cat back."
The softness on Olivia's face disappeared, replaced by a sharp look directed at the servant.
The servant lowered her head in fear.
Olivia took a deep breath. Since she came back, she had been spending all her time around Raymond, neglecting her family.
Her father probably knew she had come to see Raymond tonight and wanted to know if she had succeeded.
"You go back first. I'll wait here. Don't let this happen again."
The slap she had just given was out of anger. But now that she had calmed down, she felt it was unnecessary.
After all, Raymond was still around, and it would make him think she was overbearing.
At this moment, Raymond stood up, saying he was going to the restroom.
The hospital's restrooms were separated by gender, with the men's and women's restrooms next to each other, and a shared sink in the middle with a shared faucet.
Selena came out of the restroom and stood by the sink, squeezing some hand soap into her palm.
Pet hospitals had a lot of bacteria, so she had to be careful.
Just as she was rubbing the soap in her palm, someone came out of the men's restroom and stood beside her, slightly bending over to squeeze some hand soap into his palm as well.
Out of the corner of her eye, Selena noticed it was a pair of very attractive hands.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at the mirror in front of her. Sure enough, it was Raymond.
He exuded a natural coldness, with an imposing presence. Under the cold light, his skin was delicate, and his lips were a deep red, making it feel like the entire space was filled with his aura.
Selena quickly rubbed each of her fingers and raised her hand to put it under the faucet, but Raymond's hand was already there.
So the water flowed through his fingers, and the foam, along with his aura, all fell into her palm.
Even though it was cold water, her palm felt burning hot.
