His Precious Love novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 Almost Crippled

Upon their arrival at the hospital, the part where Rayna was hit in the leg was already swollen badly. Even the doctor who came over to examine her was shocked.

“What happened?”

“She was hit by a golf ball.” Curtis loosened his tie. Despite having his shirt wrinkled from Rayna’s grip, he looked just as distinguished as ever. With a grim expression, he remarked, “Please take a look at her.”

While examining the wound, the doctor asked Rayna about it before applying a cold spray to it. No sooner had the cold mist come in contact with the wound than Rayna shivered in reflex.

“Luckily, the force wasn’t that great. Otherwise, your leg would have been crippled,” the doctor commented as he typed out the prescription on his computer. “You should stay here for two days for observation. Once you’re better, we can take another X-ray of it.”

Curtis’ brows furrowed at the doctor’s words. “All right. Thank you.”

Once they were done, Curtis attempted to carry Rayna out of the consultation room. However, the awkward Rayna pushed his hand away by reflex. “Mr. Faymon, it’s fine. I can walk by myself.”

It’s embarrassing for him to carry me around all the time.

Curtis looked at her leg with a frown. “Are you sure?”

“I should be able to.” Rayna curled up her injured leg and tried hopping on her good leg. However, she lost her balance but was quickly caught by Curtis.

As Curtis bent over to pick her up, the momentary sense of falling caused her to hug his neck reflexively. Rayna, noticing the spot on his shirt that was still wet from her tears, couldn’t help but blush.

She had tried hard to resist crying earlier but was just overwhelmed by the pain.

With both of them in close proximity despite her efforts to avoid him, the sound of his steady heartbeat echoed in her ear, while the alluring and mature scent of his cologne filled her nostrils.

In the midst of her fantasies, she had already been carried into the ward and placed on the bed.

“What’s wrong?” At the sight of her reddened face, Curtis assumed that she wasn’t feeling well. “Shall I get the doctor?”

“I’m fine. I’m just a little thirsty.” She had barely spoken when her cheeks blushed harder at her intensifying embarrassment. Despite throwing her a glance, Curtis didn’t say a word as he handed her a cup of water.

Holding the cup up to drink, Rayna pretended to be calm.

“Ms. Garland, I’m sorry that I failed to keep an eye on Kristie and allowed you to be badly injured,” Curtis apologized while pinching his forehead. “Kristie can be mischievous at times.”

“I know. I’m not holding it against her,” Rayna replied. Initially, she did plan on making a fuss, but a better idea came to mind. “Remember how you got hurt on my account during the cocktail reception? We’re even now.”

Curtis nodded. “All right. Anyway, you should rest in the hospital for the next few days. I’ll let Mr. Lawson know about it.”

“Thank you, Mr. Faymon.”

“Mr. Faymon, Ms. Garland.” A knock on the door was followed by Gabriel entering with a fruit basket. Behind him was a middle-aged caregiver.

Gabriel explained, “Ms. Garland, I’ve hired a caregiver for you. She lives nearby and knows how to cook. If you’re sick of the hospital food, you can get her to prepare your meals.”

“Thank you.” I’ve just gotten my wounds treated and Mr. Tylinski has already found me a caregiver. Given how efficient he is, it’s no surprise that he’s Curtis’ assistant.

“Ms. Garland, you should get some rest.” Curtis left with Gabriel after seeing there was nothing else left for him to do.

The moment he stepped out of the hospital, Curtis’ expression drastically darkened.

“Who sent her home?”

“The person I found for Ms. Kristie previously. He’s a retired member of the special forces, codename—Gray Wolf,” Gabriel replied. “He personally sent Ms. Kristie back to the condominium and is keeping an eye on her.”
