His Precious Love novel Chapter 655

Chapter 655

“All right now, it's no big deal. It's just a scratch,” the man interrupted Rayna. Thereafter, he turned to the woman by his side and warned her with a look.

Observing the dynamics between the two, Curtis tightened his grip on Rayna's hand. Subsequently, he gave the man a wary look as he handed the latter his name card. “This is my card. You can find my contact on it. If you're in need of any medical treatment, I'm more than happy to pay for it.”

Upon taking the card from Curtis' hand, the man gave it a quick glance before replying, “Sure.”

Sensing from the man's tone that he had no intention of going to the hospital, Rayna suggested, “Why don't you get yourself examined at the hospital now? In the event you have a serious injury, timely treatment would be crucial.”

“Oh, we were just visiting on a whim. It's close to four now and I need to be at the office at five, so I don't think I'll be going to the hospital now. Anyway, I still have your card. If I somehow need medical treatment, I'll get in touch with you.” Although the man spoke in a gentle tone, he would steal intermittent glances at Rayna while doing so.

“Okay then.” Upon hearing the man's words, Rayna didn't press the issue. “Thank you for helping me just now.”

“You're welcome.” With that, the man turned and left together with the woman Rayna had encountered earlier.

Standing still, Rayna noticed that Curtis didn't intend to leave. Thus, she asked, “I'm done at my end. What about you? If you're ready, I feel like going home now.”

“I'm done too, but I need to drop by the office first. It won't take up too much time.” Upon retracting his gaze from the young man and woman, Curtis noticed that Rayna was feeling out of sorts. “Perhaps I can get the driver to send you home?”

“It's fine. Let's go together. I'll accompany you to the office.” Just as she spoke, Rayna noticed that her cane was missing when she wanted to pack it up.

When Curtis saw her let go of his hand and bending down seemingly to look for something, he quickly stopped her. “What are you looking for?”

“My cane,” Rayna replied. “I dropped it when I fell.”

In response, Curtis scanned the surroundings but was unable to see it anywhere. With a slight furrow of his brows, he turned toward Rayna. “It's broken. I'll get you a new one.”

“Is it?” Rayna asked curiously.

“Mmm-hmm, it is. You dropped it on the flower bed when you fell just now.” Curtis cooked up a random reason to placate Rayna.

“In that case, let's just forget about it and go.” Just as she spoke, Rayna wrapped her arms around his elbow again.

With that, Curtis trod carefully, worried that a single wrong step would cause her to fall again.

...

“What's with that sullen look on your face?” Inside the car, the woman threw the man a glance. Even though she spoke calmly, there was a hint of exasperation in her tone.

“What do you think?” The man threw the question back at her in an indifferent tone. Nonetheless, the vicious glint in his eyes couldn't be any more obvious.

Making eye contact, the woman felt a chill down her spine. “Don't look at me like that!”

“Adrienne, have you ignored what I told you previously?” the man stopped the car by the side and turned to look at Adrienne Picard. “Do you need me to remind you of what you promised me before we came to Norwal City?”

Listening to the man's cold words, Adrienne gradually clenched her fists on her lap. Nonetheless, there was no change in her expression. “My memory serves me quite well.”

“Good,” the man grunted in acknowledgment before unbuttoning his shirt and taking it off. Staring at him from the front passenger seat, Adrienne cocked a brow. “What are you up to now?”

“I'm changing.” After chucking his shirt over to the back seat, the man realized the shirt he had prepared wasn't inside the car. “Can you get me my shirt from the trunk?”

Adrienne turned around and frowned at the man. “You're really troublesome.” With that, she alighted from the car and opened the trunk, only to be greeted by an empty space. “Thibault, there's nothing in here!”

No sooner had she spoken than the car suddenly backed up in her direction. Even though she retreated in reflex, she tripped over her heels and fell onto the ground. “Thibault, what are you doing!”

Despite her raging screams, the car didn't look like it was going to stop. As she watched the car about to run over her legs in horror, her eyes reddened instantly. “No, Thibault. No, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!”

It was then that the reversing car came to a stop, followed by Thibault alighting from the car.

When Adrienne looked at the approaching Thibault, he had already changed into a clean shirt. He then leaned elegantly against the car as he looked down at her. “Thibault, you have gone too far!”

“Me? Gone too far?” Thibault gradually knelt down as she spoke. He then grabbed her chin so tightly that she pounded his hand in pain. “Thibault, what are you doing? Don't forget that we're on the same side!”

“Hmph!” Instead of releasing her, Thibault tightened his grip with an insidious expression on his face. “If there's a repeat of what happened today, I'll do to you what you did to Rayna!”

As she watched how the usually gentle Thibault suddenly turned into a fearsome man, the teary-eyed Adrienne nodded vigorously. “All right.”

With one knee on the ground, Thibault let go of Adrienne's jaw. “I know that you're devastated over Jefferson's death, but it has nothing to do with Rayna. I already told you that before we came here.”

“I remember.” Adrienne quickly covered her chin as she backed away to put some distance between herself and Thibault.

“Since you remember, you had better drill this into your mind too. There will be no repeat of what happened today!” The moment he finished, Thibault stepped forward and grabbed Adrienne's jaw to force her mouth open. After that, he popped a red pill right into her mouth, forcing her to swallow it before she had a chance to struggle.

“Thibault, what did you give me?” Adrienne scrambled up to her feet and rushed toward the bushes by the side. There, she stuck a finger into her throat and tried to puke the pill out.

Watching how desperate she was to induce vomit, Thibault let out a sneer before standing back up. He then remarked in a frosty tone, “Don't worry, it isn't poison.”

His words caused Adrienne to stop and turn around to glower at him. “What in the world did you give me?”
