His Precious Love

Chapter 637

Curtis' expression turned grim when he heard that. In response to seeing his grandson's countenance, Alfred consoled, “When I was younger, I heard of a family called the Burke family. They are the leader among everyone who breeds parasites, and they know how to use all sorts of techniques involving those creatures. However, the family doesn't live in the same place all year round. Hence, it would be difficult to locate them. If you find them, they may be able to remove the parasite in Rayna's body.”

“Is there any information about this family?” Curtis' first thought was to see if he could find any facts about the family on the internet or through a private investigator.

“No.” Alfred shook his head. “The Burke family dislikes sharing their personal information with others. That's the reason their descendants don't stay in the same place.”

Upon hearing that, Curtis lowered his head, staring at Rayna with a dimmed look in his eyes. Then he leaned toward her and kissed her forehead. “I'll find a way to remove the parasite from your body, Rayna.”

When Alfred saw that, he left the room with his cane.

...

Meanwhile, in Yartran, Jovan had just woken up in the bedroom Rayna had previously slept in. He hugged the blanket and breathed in her scent that still lingered on it. Then, murderous intent surfaced in his blue eyes.

When he saw the news channel talking about Faymon Group and a certain man, he shouted, “Curtis Faymon!”

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Following the knocking sound on the door, Caylie spoke. “I found a note in Ms. Griffith's clothes, Mr. Bridge.”

Without delay, he put on a loose housecoat and opened the door.

Caylie proceeded to hand the note to him. “I figured this note may be useful to you.”

Jovan grabbed the note, opened it up, and saw the word “Jefferson” on it.

His hand trembled as tears swelled in his reddened eyes. “She remembers. She still remembers...”

Her guilt faded slightly when she saw him crying with joy.

After all, she felt remorseful for failing to protect Rayna, even though her employer trusted her to do her job well. Even though the man who took Ms. Griffith away said he was her husband, I simply can't imagine someone as kind as Ms. Griffith marrying someone as gloomy as him. I still believe Mr. Bridge and Ms. Griffith make a handsome couple. Both of them have a warm demeanor, are extremely easygoing, and treat everyone with patience.

“Is the man who took Ms. Griffith away that day really her husband, Mr. Bridge?” It was a question she was too afraid to ask until that point.

When Jovan stared at her grimly, she promptly shut her mouth.

...

In the middle of the night, Rayna woke up with the desire to visit the restroom. Just as she habitually tried to turn on the lights on the left, she accidentally touched someone, which startled her and caused her to scream.

In response, Curtis promptly switched on the lights. He thought she was having a nightmare when he saw her frightened expression. Just as he tried to hug her, she moved away. “It's me, Rayna. It's me.”

Holding her hand, he comforted, “I'm Curtis, Rayna.”

Upon hearing his voice, she frowned slightly and asked, “You... When did you come in?”

Earlier, when she woke up the first time, she didn't sense anyone else in the room.

“An hour ago,” Curtis answered and noticed the sweat on her forehead. “Did you have a nightmare?”

As Rayna gradually calmed down, she shook her head. “No, I'm just... I just wanted to use the restroom.”

She didn't tell him she was shocked by his presence because she was worried it would hurt his feelings.

Back in Conch Island, she always slept alone. Thus, after returning to Norwal City, she had trouble getting used to seeing a man sleeping next to her when she woke up in the middle of the night.

“I'll carry you in.” As Curtis spoke, he left the bed and carried her into the restroom.

“Wait outside. I can take care of myself.” Rayna wasn't used to having a man waiting for her at the side. In the past, she didn't mind Caylie accompanying her because they were both women. Even though Curtis was supposedly her husband, she couldn't remember anything about him at the moment, so he was no different from a male stranger in her eyes.

“Call me if you need me. I'll be waiting at the door.” He could tell she didn't want him inside the restroom, so he left and shut the door.

Then, he remained outside the restroom because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to help her in time if anything happened to her inside.

Rayna finished her business quickly. After she flushed the toilet, she exclaimed, “You can come in now!”

Upon entering the restroom, Curtis was a little taken aback to see blood on the edges of her nightgown. In response, he approached the toilet bowl and saw more blood on its inner wall.

“Wait here first.” He held her hand. “Don't move, and wait here for me.”

While she had no idea what had happened, she didn't dare to move. She simply stood and awaited his return.
