His Precious Love novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 I Have Fallen For Her

“F*ck. That’s not the same!” Wyatt retorted. “You know what Kristie’s like! She clings to anyone who treats her well. Besides, there’s no way Theodore has romantic feelings for her. I’m willing to bet my life on that!”

Alas, it wasn’t long before his confidence deflated. “Do you think Theodore—”

“There are some things you’re better off not knowing. Otherwise, you’d only stir up trouble,” Jeremy explained, determined not to tell Wyatt the truth since he knew what the latter was like. “If you’re bored, you can always drop by the nearest church to pray for Curtis’ recovery.”

“Argh! How would I know anything if you refuse to tell me? Besides, you’re older than me. Shouldn’t you take the lead to pray for Curtis?”

Before Jeremy could reply, a lady walking hastily with her head down bumped into Wyatt’s arm and staggered several steps backward.

“Miss, must you be in such a rush? You’re already at the hospital, aren’t you?” Wyatt scolded as his gaze fell on the woman before him. Oh, wow, she’s short. I think she’s only a few inches over five feet…

Just as he was about to poke fun at her, the woman met his eyes, looking somewhat dazed as she rubbed her forehead.

Almost immediately, Wyatt gasped and felt his heart skip a beat.

“Oh, did I bump into you? I’m so sorry. I’m in a hurry to fetch someone,” Jessica replied while apologizing profusely. She rushed to the hospital as soon as she heard what happened to Rayna and had to admit she wasn’t paying much attention to her surroundings.

Like a gentleman, Wyatt quickly cleared his throat and smiled. “It’s okay. I—”

“I don’t have any cash right now, so please accept this milkshake as my apology. Bye!” Jessica added before pulling out a cup of milkshake from her bag and putting it in Wyatt’s hand. With that, she hurriedly walked away and entered the hospital.

Unfortunately, everything happened so fast that Wyatt didn’t even get a chance to ask Jessica for her WhatsApp.

As he watched her retreating figure, all he could think of was how she had looked at him earlier. Ah… This milkshake may be cold, but it sure warms the cockles of my heart.

The next second, Wyatt turned to Jeremy in dead earnest. “To tell you the truth, I think I’ve fallen for her.”

“I figured as much. It’d be odd if you didn’t find a new lady to drool over every other week,” Jeremy scoffed before striding off. “You can stay here and continue daydreaming if you like.”

Chuckling, Wyatt clutched his milkshake and ran after Jeremy. “Since we’ll be stationed at Norwal City, I’m sure there will be plenty of chances to bump into her again. Besides, Kristie’s buying us supper. There’s no reason to turn down a free meal!”

Back in the hospital, Rayna was finally getting her injury checked out by the doctor. She had gashes on her right shoulder from shards of glass, and having been drenched in the rain didn’t help either since it turned the wounds even paler and gnarlier. After cleaning the wounds and applying some ointment, the doctor prescribed Rayna a couple of boxes of oral medication.

With that, Jasmine accompanied the latter to collect her prescription.

“Please don’t blame yourself, Ms. Garland. I’m sure Curtis wouldn’t want to see you like this,” Jasmine comforted when she saw how distraught and dejected Rayna was.

“I know. It’s just…” Rayna mumbled before her voice trailed off. Every time she recalled the sight of a bloodied Curtis, she got so choked up that words failed her.

If Curtis hadn’t shielded me with his body, his legs wouldn’t have gotten crushed…

“I know Faymon Group has set up a new department, and Curtis transferred you there to be the new manager,” Jasmine said smilingly. “That shows how much he trusts you. By the way, don’t you find it odd that news of the accident was immediately reported after it occurred?”

Rayna narrowed her eyes at the thought of that.

Of course, I found it odd. I already felt something was off when the Faymon family rushed to the hospital. After all, the road we were on didn’t have much traffic, and not everyone knew who Curtis was. Even with Curtis being sent to the hospital and the police surveying the accident scene, news of the crash should only be out in the morning at the earliest. Alas, we had barely stepped into the hospital when we learned the accident had already been reported on television. I’m sure someone must have orchestrated the accident, or they’re planning something even more sinister in secret…
