Chapter 671
“Okay. We'll go over at once," Milo replied before casting a look at Curtis and Robin. “Please excuse us."
Seeing that Milo was leaving, Simone followed suit. Before doing so, she again stressed that it was imperative that Curtis give the medicine to Rayna and remember to collect more when it was close to running out.
Curtis gave his word that he would do so. When they had both left, he went over to the hospital bed and bent down to scoop Rayna up in his aims. “Go and drive the car over, Robin. We'll go to Jayfort first. Also, notify Han ey to go straight to Jayfort," he instructed Robin as he walked out of the ward.
Robin gave an answer in acknowledgment and walked in front of them to pave the way for them.
A black Maybach slowly drove away from the entrance of the hospital. Across the road was a white car with a man in the driver's seat. He watched as the black Maybach left before taking out a cigarette from liis pocket. Just as he was about to light it, liis gaze fell on the spot between liis thumb and index finger of liis right hand. After putting the cigarette back into the box. he started the car and drove forward unhurriedly.
During the drive to Jayfort, Rayna. who initially had her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes. The first tiling she did was to direct her gaze to the person beside her. Upon confirming that it was Curtis, she lifted her hand slowly to touch liis cheek. Alas, a sharp stinging pain assailed her hand when she did so. Just as her hand was about to fall, he grabbed her wrist and looked down at her. “You're awake. Are you still in great pain?"
“It's still bearable," she replied in a hoarse voice. Honks drifted into her ears, upon which she asked, “Where are we going?”
“Jayfort." Grasping her hand, Curtis kissed her on the forehead and promised. “I'll never leave you behind anymore. It'll never happen again.”
This time, it's already a miracle that I found her in a day. If the previous incident were to repeat itself, and she was taken abroad, what would become of me if I really couldn't find her forever? I don't even dare to think of that possibility.
“Oh yes, how's the matter with the elderly traditional medical practitioner?” All of a sudden. Rayna recalled that then trip there was meant to locate the elderly traditional medical practitioner.
Curtis did not keep her in the dark anymore, answering honestly, “He's dead. One of the men who took you away from the hotel that day was liis brother. As for the identity of the other young man, I've already ordered someone to look into it.”
Only after she heard his response did realization gradually dawn upon her. “I see. No wronder. then. I didn't suspect anything when the man claimed to be the elderly traditional medicine practitioner himself. but I later found him to be overly aggressive and wras very much puzzled about it.”
“How so?” Curtis inquired.
“As far as I remember, that elderly traditional medicine practitioner was exceedingly gentle in nature. Besides, he talks really slowly. If you're impatient, you'll even get an anxiety attack speaking to him.” At that point, a smile quirked her lips. “By the way, do you know' who's the person that saved me when we left the beach?”
At her question, Curtis arched a brow, responding in a low’ and unhurried voice, “No.”
On the heels of that, he added. “You're not wrell yet, so don't think about all this. Rest well. Right now’, the most important tiling is to recuperate." Verily, he did not want her to spend the last vestiges of her energy deciphering those people's tine identities.
“You're right," Rayna affirmed with a nod and nestled in liis embrace. When the car drove onto a small street, the shouts of haw’kers and the sounds of locals washing their clothes by the river could be heard fiom outside the car window; “I've ahvays heard that the pace at Jayfort is very sedate. From the look of tilings now, it's true.”
