Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 660

Chapter 660

“What do you mean by that, Adrienne?” the manager asked angrily. He had assumed that Thibault was simply being difficult when he refused the business deal, so he hadn't taken it seriously until now. He never imagined that Thibault wouldn't show up at all.

“Instead of directing your frustration towards me, try reaching out to other chefs. Maybe someone who has previously worked here can step in temporarily to help you salvage the situation.” Adrienne couldn't be bothered to talk to the bald middle-aged manager with a protruding belly anymore. She turned around to return to her workstation.

The manager nearly blew his top at Adrienne's words. However, he had to tamp down liis anger as Adrienne was someone important.

It was eight at night when Curtis found the little log cabin at Shvomhid Mountain with Rayna. Theodore had sent him the location earlier.

Robin informed, “Mr. Faymon, the cabin door is locked. I checked it and it appears to have been locked for some time, as the lock is covered in dust.”

Curtis' expression turned solemn. “Call Dr. Galopin and ask if there is indeed a traditional medicine practitioner on Shvomhid Mountain.”

Robin nodded. He pulled out his phone and left to search for a place with a phone signal to make the call.

Hearing their exchange, Rayna let out a soft sigh. Curtis immediately comforted her. “Don't worry. We will find that old traditional medicine practitioner.”

“Mm.” Rayna bobbed her head. Curtis then helped her to a bench so she could sit down. “Are you tired?”

There were at least a few hundred steps on Shvomhid Mountain. Curtis often worked out. so he didn't feel exhausted at all. Despite his concerns that the climb might be too strenuous for Rayna. she made the ascent without a single complaint. Curtis was amazed at how well Rayna handled the hike up Shvomhid Mountain.

“I'm all right.” Rayna was drinking water from the foldable cup Curtis brought along when she heard a rustle nearby. “Curtis, there seems to be something in the bushes on our left,” she told him.

Hearing that, Curtis glanced at the bushes on their left. Indeed, he noticed something moving and chirping within.

“Stay here while I go check it out.” Curtis made sure his jacket that was placed over her shoulders was in position before he went in the direction of the rustling sound. Suddenly, something jumped out of the bushes and nearly hit liis eye.

Although several LED lights illuminated the area outside the log cabin, the darkness made it difficult for Curtis to see clearly. His vision was blurry, and he was unable to determine what the creature was.

“Are you injured?” Rayna quickly sat up upon hearing Curtis' shout. She attempted to reach him, but he quickly moved to steady her. “No,” he assured her. “The light was not strong enough for me to make out what that creature was.”

“If we can't find the elderly traditional medicine practitioner, let's give up,” Rayna said as she held onto Curtis' arm. “I don't mind being blind. I can also get treated by modem medicine.”

When Curtis left to investigate the creature in the bushes, Rayna felt her heart leap into her throat. Oddly, even after reaching the top of the mountain, she remained uneasy.
