Chapter 649

Once they arrived at the entrance of her bedroom, Rayna told the housekeeper to leave. Rayna then entered the bedroom on her own and stood inside for a long time. All of a sudden, a familiar voice rang out in her head.

“Belle.” The voice in Rayna's head sounded so real that it was as if there was a person standing next to her. “Belle, you said you would stay by my side forever. You lied.”

Rayna rubbed her temples and shut her eyes as she stood in the center of the bedroom. At that moment, she felt as though her head was going to explode.

“Belle, will you let Reni take my family name?” Jefferson's voice kept ringing in Rayna's head. “Xareni Hamilton. Her name shall be Xareni Hamilton.”

Slowly opening her eyes, Rayna called out, “Jefferson...” Shortly after, the voice in her head faded. Rayna wanted to turn around to find her way toward the bathroom. Having accidentally dropped her white cane moments prior, she didn't notice there was a coffee table next to her. Hence, she knocked into it when she was turning around. “That hurts!”

Thud!

After hitting the coffee table, Rayna stumbled back a few steps and lost her balance. In the end, she fell backward and knocked her head on the armrest of the couch.

Fortunately for her, the couch was made of leather. Due to how soft it was, she didn't hurt her head.

While sitting on the rug, Rayna leaned on the couch and lifted her hand to rub her forehead. Right then, her memories came rushing back.

“Curtis... Jefferson... Julian...” Rayna supported her forehead with a hand and endured the pain that was coming from the deepest part of her brain. Although she tried to stand up a few times, her efforts were to no avail. Therefore, she had no choice but to sit on the rug and wait for her body to regulate itself.

Meanwhile, Levi waited for her in the dining room for a long time, but he still didn't see her. Worried, he glanced at Alfred and said, “Old Mr. Faymon, could it be that something bad has happened to Mrs. Faymon?”

After all, Rayna's eyesight hadn't recovered yet, so she was bound to have trouble moving around on her own.

Hearing that, Alfred instructed, “Get the housekeepers to go upstairs and check on her. We can't let anything bad happen to her.”

“Okay,” Levi responded before leaving the dining room and bringing two housekeepers upstairs.

“Are you inside, Mrs. Faymon?” Levi asked from outside the bedroom.

Rayna heard him. Massaging her temples, she replied, “I'm all right. Please tell Grandpa to go ahead without me.”

Rayna knew she looked extremely pale at that time. If I were to go out now, Grandpa would be worried sick. He's old now, so I shouldn't do that to him. I can't afford to risk his well-being.

Despite what she said, Levi was still standing outside the room. He was unwilling to go back downstairs without making sure that Rayna was all right. After all, he was a responsible man. “Okay, Mrs. Faymon. Would you like the housekeepers to go inside?”

“No. I'm a little tired, and I just want to rest.” Rayna put both her hands on the couch and slowly stood up.

Levi hummed in acknowledgment and had no choice but to go back downstairs. Before he left, he ordered a couple of the housekeepers to stay outside Rayna's room. “Keep your ears open. If you hear noises coming from inside, shout for the others.”

“Yes, Levi,” the housekeepers replied and stayed outside the room in silence.

In the dining room, Alfred was scooping a bowl of soup for himself when he heard a set of footsteps coming down the stairs. When he saw that it was Levi, he asked, “Where's Rayna?”

“Mrs. Faymon said you should go ahead with lunch without her. She says she's tired and wants to rest,” Levi answered with whatever he heard Rayna say.

As soon as Alfred heard that, he dropped the utensils in his hands and questioned, “Is she sick?”

“I don't know. Mrs. Faymon didn't come out of her room, and she wouldn't let us in,” Levi replied. After mulling over it for a while, he asked, “Could it be that Mrs. Faymon is unhappy because Mr. Faymon didn't come back?”

Levi thought that was the case. Recently, Mr. Faymon has been staying by Mrs. Faymon's side whenever he can. Although he would go to work in the morning, he would always come home for lunch. Today, however, he didn't come back.

Alfred felt Levi had a point. “Rayna lost her eyesight and her memories, and Curtis has been taking care of her every day. Perhaps she's not used to it because he isn't back for lunch for the first time.”

Alfred picked up his utensils again to drink his soup after saying, “Call Curtis and tell him to come home if he can. Tell him Rayna isn't feeling well.”

“Okay.” Levi left the dining room quietly to call Curtis.

In the research center, Curtis was discussing the matter of Shvomhid Mountain with Theodore and the others. Suddenly, his phone, which was left on the table, rang. Curtis picked up the phone when he saw it was a call from the Faymon residence.
