Reclaiming Her Heart

Selena raised her hand to feel Ann's forehead, realizing the fever had finally gone down.

"Ann, are you sure you don't want to stay home and rest a bit? I really need you back at the company, but your health comes first," Selena said. Ann replied, "Ms. Fair, I'm already fine."

Selena didn't push it further, and they both hurried to the office.

For the next week, Selena barely went home. The few times she did, she saw Raymond at Ashbourne Manor, waiting for her.

But Selena was swamped. Each time, she just grabbed a few clothes, left a quick kiss on his cheek, and told him to go to bed alone.

Raymond went from understanding to silence after being neglected for a week.

The last time she went back to Ashbourne Manor, Selena didn't see him.

Selena was too busy and called him, but he didn't answer.

She thought about driving to the Montague Group to check on him, but a call from the company's senior management pulled her back for a meeting. By now, Selena was getting only about half an hour of rest each day, just enough to eat.

When Selena started thinking about her relationship with Raymond, she realized they hadn't been in touch for three days.

Selena got up and was about to call John to ask if Raymond was in a meeting.

But before she could make the call, the company's receptionist suddenly called.

"Ms. Fair, your biological parents are here at the company. They said they want to see you," the receptionist said.

Selena thought she had misheard.

The receptionist's voice was trembling, "They said so and even provided your birth certificate. Ms. Fair, do you want to come down and take a look?"

Selena remembered Victor asking about her background, but she hadn't looked into it because she saw Barbara as her mother and was afraid she was being abandoned. Now her biological parents had actually come to find her.

Selena immediately hung up and went downstairs, where she saw the so-called parents at the reception.

The man and woman were dressed simply. When the woman saw her, she immediately came forward and called out, "Selena."

"Let's talk over there," Selena said, frowning and pointing to a nearby couch.

The woman, Delia Elliott, nodded to her man, Kyle Quinn, and they walked over.

After Selena sat down, they took out a paternity test.

"Selena, we were notified a few days ago that our daughter was in Silver Bay City, so we took a bus from Ridgefield to come here," Delia said.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Looking at the paternity test, Selena's tone was very calm. "What was used for the test?"

"Your hair. When you were hospitalized, a doctor kept it. We reported our child being stolen a long time ago, and although the case was never solved, the police kept our file for paternity testing," Delia replied. Selena guessed that the so-called doctor might be Victor, who had mentioned this before.

Kyle took out his hair and placed it beside her. "Selena, if you don't believe it, you can do another paternity test yourself."

Selena didn't believe it, so she kept the hair, pulled a few strands from her own head, and sent someone to the hospital to get the test results as soon as possible.

But Delia was adamant that she was their lost daughter.

"Selena, it was really hard for us to find you. You can't deny us. Your brother needs your help," Delia said urgently.

"My brother?" Selena had the receptionist bring some drinks.

"Yes, our son Owen Quinn. A few years ago, Owen came to Silver Bay City to work and was falsely accused and sentenced to ten years in prison. Selena, you're a CEO now; you must have a way to bail him out. Owen is in his twenties and still hasn't got married. His girlfriend's family looks down on us because we're poor. As his sister, you must be willing to help with this money, right?" Delia quickly replied.

Kyle pulled her aside. "The test results aren't out yet. Let's talk about this later."

But Delia held Selena's hand, seemingly sincere but actually trying to get money and help from her.

"If you can provide stable jobs for the three of us, that would be fine too. When I gave birth to you, I had a massive hemorrhage. After you were stolen, I almost died," Delia said.

Kyle nodded beside her, "That's true. Your mom was heartbroken several times because of you."

Selena watched as Delia and Kyle spoke one after another, almost dividing her current assets.
