His Precious Love novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 Schrodinger

Rayna was speechless.

After throwing her a glance, Curtis continued, “I believe you’re not the disloyal type of person. That said, I can’t stop you if you insist on leaving. Take this as a token of my apology.” Curtis placed a thick wad of cash on the bedside table. “It’s not a lot, but there’s eight thousand and eight there, which is enough for you to purchase a flight ticket.”

Rayna was stunned by the sight of the money. It wasn’t until more than ten seconds had passed that she regained her senses. Cheeks burning, she trembled to the extent of almost dropping the glass in her hand.

This is too much! After that outrageous night, I left eight hundred and eighty-eight for him. And now, he is leaving me tenfold the amount just to remind me of that fateful night. What a jerk!

“Ms. Garland, your glass is empty.” Curtis was amused to see Rayna bring the empty glass to her lips. He took it from her hand and poured her some water.

Rayna bit her lip in exasperation.

I shouldn’t have thrown myself into Uncle Curtis’ arms. Now I’m trapped.

After handing the glass back to Rayna, Curtis—pretending to be concerned—asked, “Ms. Garland, you look terrible. Are you not feeling well? Do you need me to get the doctor?”

Rayna took a deep breath to suppress the frustration in her heart. She began typing on her phone before showing it to him: I’m fine. Thank you for your concern. I’ll help you finish the negotiations before going back home.

“What a shame. I was planning to get Mr. Tylinski to accompany you back.” Curtis’ lips curled into a smile. “But since you insist, I appreciate the passion you have for your work.”

Rayna thought, And there I was, thinking about how gentle Uncle Curtis was when he spoiled Kristie to the extent of being envious of her. It’s clear to me now that he’s actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

Due to how busy he was, Curtis gave Gabriel a call after Rayna had awoken. He then returned to his work, concentrating on the computer in front of him.

Rayna didn’t disturb him.

Around ten in the morning, Gabriel arrived with a bag of supplements together with a doctor.

As Rayna allowed the doctor to examine her, she learned from his interaction with Gabriel that she had been unconscious for the entire day and had only awoken in the morning. Curtis had stayed by her side the whole time. Because of the grievous injury to her neck and voice box, she couldn’t speak for the time being and needed to be treated with medication.

When Rayna glanced at Curtis at his desk, she saw him in his usual cotton outfit. Despite the exhaustion on his face, his focus on his work was unwavering.

Just a while ago, she had been wondering why Curtis was sleeping on the chair beside her when she woke up. It turned out that he had been watching over her the entire time she was out.

After the doctor was gone, Rayna typed on her phone and showed it to Gabriel: Mr. Tylinski, was the intruder that night someone related to the collaboration?

Gabriel nodded. Now that they were in Tyrandas, he didn’t see the need to hide the truth from her. Leaning toward her, he whispered, “Do you still remember running into Astrid at Grasim Hotel?”

His words shocked Rayna.

She wrote: You saw us?

“I was coincidentally walking my clients out. Although you were married to Mr. Julian back then, you barely knew Shawn and his wife. So why did Astrid come to see you out of nowhere?

“Ms. Garland, I’m sure you’re well aware that Shawn is Ms. Sienna’s adopted son even though she doesn’t recognize him as such. All this while, Shawn has been trying to please her to earn her acknowledgment so that he is eligible to inherit Old Mr. Faymon’s assets.”
