Chapter 135 Why Are You So Fierce
Rayna’s cheek still hurt, and she wasn’t sleepy, so she went to her car to retrieve her laptop and continued working.
If she hadn’t become the acting CEO, she wouldn’t know that a CEO would be this busy.
There were countless reports and data to read; meetings, cocktail receptions, and charity dinners to attend. Every day, she was pressed for time, and her schedule was full until the next year.
She could understand how hard Curtis had it.
After replying to a few emails, Rayna exhaled sharply and massaged her stiff neck.
Her gaze flitted to the man lying in bed. Suddenly, her chest felt heavy as tears threatened to spill from her eyes.
Half a month had passed since the accident happened. She solved Faymon Group’s crisis, but Curtis was still unconscious.
Is his condition that serious?
Rayna reached out to touch his cheek. The tip of her fingers had barely touched his warm skin when someone twisted the doorknob. She quickly retracted her hand.
“Ms. Garland, you’re still awake?” Jeremy came in and spotted the laptop on Rayna’s lap. “You’ve been busy at work during the day at Faymon Group, so you should rest at night.”
Rayna gave him a smile. “I’m not sleepy, so I’d rather do some work.”
Jeremy poured a glass of warm water and gave it to her. “You should go to bed. I don’t think Curtis wants to see you tire yourself out.”
“Thank you.”
Rayna was parched, so she gulped down half a glass of water and didn’t notice Jeremy’s expression.
After chatting with Jeremy briefly, Rayna felt a little sleepy and yawned a few times. She assumed it was because she was tired from work.
Jeremy told her to get some rest and left.
The VIP ward was as well-equipped as a comfy room in a luxurious house. There was also an additional bed for the patient’s friends or family to stay the night. Rayna glanced at Curtis and merely shifted her chair closer to the bed.
She sprawled on the bed with her wounded cheek facing upward and closed her eyes to sleep.
I should stay beside him.
Ten minutes later, the door was pushed open to reveal Jeremy and Wyatt.
“Her cheek is injured. Will she suffer from any side effects after taking the sleeping drug?” Wyatt asked.
“I developed it myself, so it’s fine,” Jeremy told him.
Wyatt grunted in acknowledgment. He came into the ward to see Rayna sprawled by the bed. Chuckling, he commented, “This is funny. Why didn’t she sleep on the other bed? Is she that concerned about Curtis?”
“Just shut up, will you?” Jeremy snapped. “If you continue spouting nonsense, scram.”
Wyatt put on a wounded expression. “Jeremy, why are you so fierce? You don’t love me anymore.”
Jeremy snickered icily. “If I do love you, that isn’t normal. Hurry, prepare the drug!”
After Jeremy kicked him, Wyatt stopped joking around. He opened his briefcase to prepare the drug. A while later, he handed a tiny bottle to Jeremy.
Using a syringe, Jeremy extracted the drug from the bottle.
“Go move Ms. Garland…” Jeremy was about to ask Wyatt to move Rayna to the other bed as she was in his way, but he soon changed his mind. “Forget it.”
Curtis can see for himself how much she cared for him.
