His Precious Love

Chapter 639

After Rayna's x-ray session in the hospital was done, the doctor studied her x-ray films.

Then, based on his years of experience, he concluded, “Mrs. Faymon's condition is stable for now. However, if that blood clot still can't be absorbed or broken down by her body, there's no guarantee her condition won't deteriorate. Her blindness is caused by the blood clot applying pressure to her optic nerve. If the clot doesn't disappear in time, there's a chance she may not regain her eyesight.”

There wasn't any expression on Curtis' handsome face when he heard that, though he did tighten his grip.

After Robin returned from paying the medical fee, he saw Curtis exiting the doctor's office and approached him.

Curtis slightly knitted his eyebrows upon seeing the two juice bottles in his assistant's hands.

In response to noticing his employer's reaction, Robin explained, “Mrs. Faymon asked me to buy them for her. She said she was craving for it.”

Curtis stretched his hand out. “Give them to me.”

After Robin did as his employer asked, he watched the latter stroll toward Rayna's ward. Then, he abruptly recalled he bought one of the juices for himself.

Inside the ward, Rayna's examination had just concluded. She was sitting on the couch waiting for Curtis' return.

Just as she was about to speak the moment she saw him, he went first. “Is the examination over yet?”

“Yep, it's over,” she replied before he stuffed a bottle into her hand.

Upon detecting her confusion, Curtis explained, “It's the juice you asked Robin to buy for you.”

“I see.” Rayna proceeded to drink the juice. He sounds like something is on his mind.

“It'll take a while before the examination report comes out. How about we head home first?” she suggested, believing it wouldn't matter where she waited for the report. “Once it's out, we'll come back to pick it up.”

Absentmindedly, he agreed, “Sounds good to me.” He was worried about Rayna's potential permanent loss of eyesight and the unknown parasite in her body that could awaken at any moment.

Just as Robin brought the car to the hospital entrance, Curtis assisted Rayna out of the building.

On the way back, the energy of the car's atmosphere was so low that Robin couldn't help but glance at the two people sitting in the backseat intermittently.

It wasn't until he arrived at the Faymon residence and heard the laughter coming from the building that he felt like he was alive again.

After the car was parked in the courtyard, Curtis exited the vehicle and took Rayna out.

Alfred, who was playing with the babies in the living room, smiled at the couple when they stepped in. “You two came back pretty quickly. How were the examinations? What did the doctor say?”

Curtis placed the medicine the hospital prescribed Rayna on the nearby coffee table before helping her sit on the couch. “They were fine.”

Upon listening to Curtis' words, Alfred stared at his grandson for a while before turning to his granddaughter-in-law. While he had his doubts, he didn't voice them out. “That's good. Rayna should rest here for the time being. Once she's recovered, we can talk about what happens next.”

It was pretty obvious to Rayna that Alfred and Curtis were hiding something from her. They probably just don't want to tell me I'm not doing too well, and my condition may worsen.

Yelena and Yosef, who were sitting next to Alfred, crawled toward their mother when they saw her and wanted to pull her.

Possibly because Yosef was a boy, he was rather rough when he did that. In fact, he pulled the long hair on Rayna's shoulder so forcefully that she grimaced.

“Yosef!” Curtis was drinking water when he saw that. Immediately, he put the glass down, strode toward the baby, slapped the boy's hand away, and pulled Rayna into his embrace.

Yosef, who had been treated as a prince in the Faymon residence, was stunned in response to his father's actions. Cluelessly, the baby stared at the strands of hair he pulled from Rayna's head before shifting his sight toward Curtis again. Upon seeing his father's scowl, he promptly started crying.

“No one is allowed to pacify him!” exclaimed Curtis the moment he noticed Alfred's attempt to hug Yosef.

“It's fine. Yosef's still young. He doesn't know what he's doing.” Gently holding Curtis' hand, Rayna uttered softly, “Don't glower at him anymore. Otherwise, you'll make Yelena and Xareni cry, too.”

While Yosef did do something wrong, he was still her very precious baby. He's only a few months old. It's pointless to lecture him now when he doesn't understand what we say to him and will eventually forget about it.
