Plagued with guilt and heartache, all Curtis could do was try his best to comfort her, “It’s my fault for not arriving sooner. You can scold me however you like. You’ve been shot in the leg, so we need to get you to Jeremy’s place as soon as possible.”

As Rayna was injured while pregnant, Curtis didn’t dare waste a second and quickly carried her out of the building.

The intense pain coursing through her body caused Rayna to break out in a cold sweat as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Despite being in a lot of pain herself, she did not forget about Carl. “Where’s Carl?”

Before Curtis could even respond, Rayna noticed a man lying on the ground with blood pouring out of his chest.

Jefferson scooped Carl into his arms and wrapped him up with his shirt.

Rayna stuck her head out of Curtis’ embrace and asked anxiously, “What happened to him?”

“He fainted after having his neck twisted.”

Noticing the blood on Rayna’s calf, Jefferson tied his necktie around her wound like a tourniquet and urged Curtis to leave as soon as possible.

Just like that, they left the abandoned nursing home and headed for the hospital in two separate cars.

Curtis didn’t dare drive too fast due to Rayna being pregnant. His heart ached when he saw that she was drenched in cold sweat.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Curtis carried Rayna out of the back seat and ran straight inside.

Having received the call a while ago, Jeremy and his team were already waiting for him in the emergency department.

He quickly ran up to Curtis when he saw him running over with Rayna in his arms. Upon noticing Rayna’s pale face and the blood on her leg, Jeremy quickly had the doctors prepare the operating room.

Worried about Rayna, Curtis didn’t dare go anywhere and simply paced about outside the operating room. He would glance at it from time to time while his hands trembled slightly in anxiety.
