Chapter 655
‘‘All right now. it's no big deal. It's just a scratch,” the man interrupted Rayna. Thereafter, he turned to the woman by liis side and warned her with a look.
Observing the dynamics between the two, Curtis tightened liis grip on Rayna's hand. Subsequently, he gave the man a wary look as he handed the latter liis name card. “This is my card. You can find my contact on it. If you're in need of any medical treatment, I'm more than happy to pay for it.”
Upon taking the card from Curtis' hand, the man gave it a quick glance before replying, “Sure.”
Sensing from the man's tone that he had no intention of going to the hospital. Rayna suggested. “Why don't you get yourself examined at the hospital now? In the event you have a serious injury, timely treatment would be crucial.”
“Oh, we were just visiting on a whim. It's close to four now and I need to be at the office at five, so I don't think I'll be going to the hospital now. Anyway, I still have your card. If I somehow need medical treatment, I'll get in touch with you.” Although the man spoke in a gentle tone, he would steal intermittent glances at Rayna while doing so.
“Okay then.” Upon hearing the man's words. Rayna didn't press the issue. “Thank you for helping me just now.”
“You're welcome.” With that, the man turned and left together with the woman Rayna had encountered earlier.
Standing still, Rayna noticed that Curtis didn't intend to leave. Thus, she asked, “I'm done at my end. Wliat about you? If you're ready, I feel like going home now.”
“I'm done too. but I need to drop by the office first. It won't take up too much time.” Upon retracting his gaze from the young man and woman, Curtis noticed that Rayna was feeling out of sorts. “Perhaps I can get the driver to send you home?”
“It's fine. Let's go together. I'll accompany you to the office.” Just as she spoke. Rayna noticed that her cane was missing when she wanted to pack it up.
When Curtis saw her let go of liis hand and bending down seemingly to look for something, he quickly stopped her. “Wliat are you looking for?”
“My cane,” Rayna replied. “I dropped it when I fell.”
In response, Curtis scanned the surroundings but was unable to see it anywhere. With a slight furrow of liis brows, he turned toward Rayna. “It's broken. I'll get you a new one.”
“Is it?” Rayna asked curiously.
“Mmm-hmm, it is. You dropped it on the flower bed when you fell just now.” Curtis cooked up a random reason to placate Rayna.
“In that case, let's just forget about it and go.” Just as she spoke. Rayna wrapped her anus around liis elbow again.
With that. Curtis trod carefully, worried that a single wrong step would cause her to fall again.
“What's with that sullen look on your face?” Inside the car, the woman threw the man a glance. Even though she spoke calmly, there was a hint of exasperation in her tone.
