Dear Sweetheart Chapter 561

Chapter 561

Plagued with guilt and heartache, all Curtis could do was try his best to comfort her, “It’s my fault for notarriving sooner. You can scold me however you like. You’ve been shot in the leg, so we need to get youto Jeremy’s place as soon as possible.”

As Rayna was injured while pregnant, Curtis didn’t dare waste a second and quickly carried her out ofthe building.

The intense pain coursing through her body caused Rayna to break out in a cold sweat as shewrapped her arms around his neck.

Despite being in a lot of pain herself, she did not forget about Carl. “Where’s Carl?”

Before Curtis could even respond, Rayna noticed a man lying on the ground with blood pouring out ofhis chest.

Jefferson scooped Carl into his arms and wrapped him up with his shirt.

Rayna stuck her head out of Curtis’ embrace and asked anxiously, “What happened to him?”

“He fainted after having his neck twisted.”

Noticing the blood on Rayna’s calf, Jefferson tied his necktie around her wound like a tourniquet andurged Curtis to leave as soon as possible.

Just like that, they left the abandoned nursing home and headed for the hospital in two separate cars.

Curtis didn’t dare drive too fast due to Rayna being pregnant. His heart ached when he saw that shewas drenched in cold sweat.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Curtis carried Rayna out of the back seat and ran straight inside.

Having received the call a while ago, Jeremy and his team were already waiting for him in theemergency department.

He quickly ran up to Curtis when he saw him running over with Rayna in his arms. Upon noticingRayna’s pale face and the blood on her leg, Jeremy quickly had the doctors prepare the operatingroom.

Worried about Rayna, Curtis didn’t dare go anywhere and simply paced about outside the operatingroom. He would glance at it from time to time while his hands trembled slightly in anxiety.

It was the first time he had felt so anxious.

Thanks to Rayna’s ability to remain calm and stall Selena, she had bought him enough time to getthere and save her.

The door to the operating room remained shut as time continued to tick by.

After handing Carl over to the doctors, Jefferson asked where Curtis and Rayna were and rushed overas quickly as he could.

“Is she still inside?”

“Yeah…” Curtis massaged his aching forehead as he asked, “How is Carl doing?”

“The doctors are tending to his injury. He should be waking up soon,” Jefferson replied as he stoodnext to Curtis and waited.

Neither of them said anything further after that.

Eventually, it was Jefferson who broke the silence in the corridor by asking, “That ring on her finger.She used to wear it on her finger all the time. She stopped wearing it after I bought her a pink diamondring, so I thought she had gotten rid of it. I’m glad she has been keeping it with her all this while.”

Neither of them dared imagine what would happen if Rayna didn’t have the ring with her that day.

Curtis nodded. “Yeah, I’m glad too. I thought she’d be fine with Carl by her side, so I left my phone inmy office during the meeting. That was a mistake on my part.”

I should’ve been more alert. If I had seen the distress signal sooner, I would’ve been able to stopSelena from taking her away!

Jefferson shot Curtis a glance and lowered his gaze.

He had assumed that his love for Rayna was equal to, if not more than Curtis’.

However, he had neglected her safety and didn’t think about giving her something to protect herselfwith.

Believing that Rayna would have the ability to hold her own, he even considered keeping her trapped inhis circle.

“You were the one who paid for the wedding gown and the pink diamond ring, right?” Jefferson asked.

“None of that matters right now.” Curtis’ ambiguous reply was all Jefferson needed.

He let out a soft chuckle as he stared at the red light above the operating room’s door. “And here Ithought you didn’t care about her. Who would’ve thought you’d resort to such petty tricks, eh, Mr.Faymon? By paying for the ring and wedding gown, you’re implying that she still belongs to you.”

“I never stopped caring about her. I just don’t express it openly, that’s all,” Curtis said calmly.

Jefferson couldn’t help but applaud Curtis as he said, “Heh… Well, whatever. At any rate, you did winthis time.”

Their conversation was interrupted when the operating room’s door opened.

Curtis immediately stepped forward and asked Jeremy, “Is she all right?”

“Yes, but she needs rest to recover from the intense shock. We had the gynecologist take a look at herearlier. Fortunately, her babies are all doing fine.”

Curtis breathed a huge sigh of relief when he heard that. “Thank you so much. That must’ve been arough one,” he said while patting Jeremy on the shoulder.

“Yeah, it was! What is going on lately? You guys have been coming to me so often that I hardly haveany time to rest! I’m just a researcher, not a miracle worker!” Jeremy protested.

Curtis let out a chuckle. “Well, you can think of all this as part of your research and training.”

Jeremy rolled his eyes at Curtis before asking with a solemn expression, “Oh, please! Don’t give methat nonsense! Anyway, how did Ms. Garland get shot all of a sudden?”

“Selena abducted her. She’s dead now,” Curtis replied coldly, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Jeremy froze in confusion when he heard that. It wasn’t until he realized what Curtis said that hegasped in shock.

“What? Did you kill her? Have you lost your mind, Curtis? She’s Mr. Nicholson’s daughter!”

“She nearly killed my woman and my babies,” Curtis replied.

“You could’ve just broken her legs or something! Why did you have to kill her? Do you have any ideahow much Mr. Nicholson loves his daughter? How will you explain yourself to him when he replaces out?Curtis, everything we’ve been doing thus far is to prevent the Xavier family and the Nicholson familyfrom collaborating. Mr. Nicholson won’t let you of if he replaces out that you killed his daughter!”

Curtis narrowed his eyes as he said, “She had the audacity to kidnap Rayna, so I would’ve killed her nomatter what. Let’s see if her father can really turn Norwal City upside down!”

Jeremy let out a huge sigh. “Curtis, I know that Selena had it coming for hurting Rayna, but you haveno idea what you’re up against…”

As the Nicholson family had close ties with the military and the government, most people had no choicebut to show them the utmost respect.

“I was in contact with Mr. Nicholson when I previously planned on expanding my business in Chanaea.Although we were on good terms with each other, I had my men conduct some research on him. Youcan just inform Mr. Nicholson to come collect Selena’s body. He won’t dare do anything to you now thatI’ve got some dirt on him,” Jefferson said all of a sudden.

Jeremy nodded. “Mr. Nicholson probably wouldn’t dare do anything rash. I’m just worried that Selena’sdeath would disrupt the peaceful relationship you have with him.”

Everyone in Noel’s circle knew how much he loved his daughter. He would even go as far as sidingwith the Xavier family simply because Selena liked Theodore.

As such, one would expect Noel to utterly destroy anyone who dared kill her.

Curtis glanced at Jefferson and said, “Thanks. I’ll try my best to take care of this as soon as possible.”

“I can handle things in Norwal City, so you just focus on dealing with Mr. Nicholson. He holds a highposition in the military, so he has a great lot of influence,” Jefferson replied.

Curtis held his hand out. “I know. Please look after her for me.”
