My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

740  Chapter 739

The man furrowed his brow and spoke quietly, "Ms. Horton, if we rush the sale, it'll likely go for less than expected. Are you sure?"

Selena's expression turned cold. "I'm sure."

He asked again, "Which country are you heading to?"

"Any, as long as I can leave quickly!"

"Alright," he said. "I'll let you know once everything's sorted."

"Good."

Selena replied and watched him leave with the deed in hand. As she turned around, she nearly jumped in shock to find Gavin standing right behind her. Pressing her hand to her chest, she asked nervously, "What are you doing here?"

Gavin frowned, glancing her over before looking toward the man walking away. Hesitating, he asked, "What were you just doing?"

Selena immediately averted her eyes. "Nothing. Why are you here?"

"I tried calling you, but you didn't answer. I thought something might have happened, so I tracked your phone's location and came to find you."

Selena's face darkened. "You put a tracker on my phone?"

"Yeah, I was worried something might've gone wrong." Gavin cautiously reached out, trying to hold her arm.

Selena quickly pushed his hand away.

How disgusting! This man had cancer, and he still dared to touch her! He might pass his cancer cells to her!

She took a deep breath.

Gavin, mistaking her reaction for anger, explained helplessly, "Selena, I'm sorry. I know it was wrong to track you without asking, but I was only concerned."

Concerned? Yeah, concerned she might find out about his illness and run off, leaving him without anyone to take care of him. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Selena's frustration only grew. She clenched her jaw and nodded. "I get it. My phone died."

Gavin nodded, too, but glanced once more in the direction the man had gone. "Are you sure nothing's going on? That guy..."

"He was just asking for directions."

Selena smiled smoothly. "Anyway, why did you come looking for me?"

"I told you yesterday, didn't I? I need some cash quickly, so I'm thinking of selling the house. But I can't find the deed anywhere. Did you take it?"

Selena's eyes flashed with panic as she rushed to reply, "No..."

Gavin blinked in surprise. "No? I searched everywhere at home, and it's just gone."

Selena froze, then wrapped her arm around his, smiling sweetly. "Maybe you missed a spot. Let's go back home, and I'll help you look."

Gavin nodded.

They got in the car and headed back to the house. On the way, Gavin brought up another issue, "By the way, did you withdraw that two million yet?"

Selena lowered her eyes and quickly answered, "Gavin, I was just about to tell you. I invested that money in a financial plan, and I can't withdraw it until it matures. What should we do? Maybe we can ask your brother for a loan in the meantime?"

Ryan had plenty of money. Borrowing two million from him would be no big deal. Why should they fuss over her money?

Once the house was sold and she had that two million, she could finally leave the country! Even if twenty million wasn't enough for a lifetime abroad, it'd be enough to get by for a while if she was careful.

With that thought in mind, Selena dropped her gaze again.

Gavin, fully believing her story, didn't suspect a thing. He nodded. "Alright, I get it."

They pulled up to the house. Just as they arrived, Gavin got a call from an international medical service. It was about Selena's condition, so he turned to Selena, "Selena, I've got some work to handle. You go on inside."

"Okay."

Selena gave him a quick glance before walking inside, but before she closed the door, she overheard him say, "Yes, colon cancer... There's a treatment? That's great! Whatever it costs, we'll do it."

Selena's eyes darkened.

So it was true. He had colon cancer.

And "whatever it costs"? Cancer like that would kill him—there was no way he'd survive. Gavin was selfish. He was going to drain all their savings, then die, leaving her with nothing.

This was his idea of love?

Selena let out a cold laugh. Good thing she'd already arranged to sell the house. Otherwise, she'd be left with absolutely nothing.

Meanwhile, Lewis had been keeping an eye on Selena's moves and now had all the details.

When Tom updated him, Lewis was puzzled. "Selena stole the deed and is selling the house?"

Tom nodded. "Yep, that's exactly what she's doing. She even asked for a passport. Is she planning to go abroad for treatment?"

Lewis shook his head, equally confused.

Even if he thought long and hard about it, he'd never guess Selena had mistaken her medical records for Gavin's and didn't know she was the one who was actually sick.

Lewis made up his mind. "Tell Ryan and Gavin about all of this."
