NovelsBestChapter 910 The Baby and I Can Lose You In the hospital room, Alex, Paul, and Victor were hanging out by Raymond's bed.
Most of the Montague Family who cto visit had already bailed. They weren't really here for Raymond anyway.
It's been over two weeks since Raymond's bet with Vertex Automotive Group, and there's just a bit over a month left. And now, right when things are heating up, he gets messed up bad. Everyone's betting he's gonna lose for sure. By the tRaymond's outta here, he might not even be the CEO of Montague Group anymore.
Victor had another surgery lined up. Rocking his white coat, he glanced at the other two. "Raymond's not waking up anytsoon. No point in sticking around." They all knew Raymond barely dodged death this time. And it was all for Selena. When he heard she got kidnapped, he rushed in to save her.
Alex reached for a cigarette, but Victor shot him a look. "No smoking in the hospital, dude." Alex forced a smile, "Guess I'll step outside for a smoke then." Honestly, all three of them were freaked out by how bad Raymond's condition was.
Victor and Alex took off, leaving Paul alone.

But he wasn't really into Raymond's love .
He was just kinda shocked that this chick was carrying Raymond's kid.
How's that even possible? Raymond was known for being all clean and disciplined.
Paul didn't say anything, just looked down, his bangs hiding his eyes, looking kinda moody.
Brenda was actually a bit scared of Paul. He had this cold, heavy vibe, different from Raymond's aloofness. Paul's coldness was like a wall, while Raymond's was more like he just didn't care to talk.
Both could be ruthless, but Brenda felt Raymond was more human than Paul.
Seeing Paul ignore her, Brenda sighed in relief. She kept crying, "Mr. Montague, wake up soon. The baby and I can't lose you. I'm so worried, I can't sleep." Selena, hobbling on a crutch and leaning against the wall, had just made it outside Raymond's room when she heard Brenda's sobbing.
Through the door, every word hit Selena's ears. Her fingers clenched a bit, remembering the day Raymond said he was gonna marry Brenda.
He even said it was happening next week. Though it's been over two weeks and got delayed, once he wakes up, he'd probably be with Brenda soon. Selena couldn't figure out what Raymond saw in Brenda, but if he liked her, he must have his reasons.
She pulled her hand away from the doorknob and was about to limp back when she bumped into Alex.
Alex had just finished a smoke, and when he saw her, his face lit up with a smile, "Penny, you feeling better?" For sreason, Selena felt this smile wasn't as chill as before, more like it was complicated, even a bit resentful. She used to get along great with Alex and couldn't figure out what she did to tick him off.
But Alex's voice was still gentle, clearly trying to hide his real feelings.
Selena pretended not to notice and nodded slightly, "Thanks for asking, I'm almost there." Alex put one hand on the doorknob. "Not going in?" Through the door, they could both hear Brenda's voice. His question was clearly rhetorical. Selena forced a smile, "No need." She knew her smile was stiff, turned around, and held onto the wall, planning to head back to her room.

Inside, Brenda's voice continued, "If you're so along with Alex's teasing he worried ed about him, be careful he doesn't dump you when he wakes up." Brenda said, "Mr. Montague won't dump me. After all, I'm carrying his child."
Selena didn't want to hear anymore. She had just walked a short distance while holding onto the wall when her leg gave but, and her crutch fell to the ground. She quickly bent down to pick it up, only to hear the door open behind her again. This time, it was Paul who cout. Paul mainly couldn't stand Brenda's crying. He was annoyed by all women's crying.
When he saw Selena, his brows furrowed, and he walked over to her.
Selena's crutch had fallen by his feet.
Just as her fingertips were about to reach it, she & she saw a pair of expensive leather shoes. Then, the owner of those shoes maliciously kicked the crutch even further away.
