Chapter 677


“Cassidy Gilroy,” Jovan repeated, feeling as if the name rang a bell, yet he could not remember where he heard it.

“Should I have our men keep an eye on this Cassidy, Mr. Jovan?” asked Ivan as he stood at the side.

Waving his hand, Jovan replied, “No need.”

Having a gut feeling that Curtis must have found out about something since he brought Rayna to Jayfort, Jovan questioned, “Do you know why Curtis brought Rayna to Jayfort?”

“Before they left Norwal City, he said it's to treat Mrs. Faymon's eye.” Ivan relayed the information he got from his subordinate. “Also, they went to Shvomhid Mountain before going to Jayfort.”

“Shvomhid Mountain, huh.” Jovan narrowed his eyes as the corner of his lips curled lightly. Just as he was about to make a comment about the dead traditional medicine practitioner, he thought of the Gilroy family at Jayfort.

“Did they go to Jayfort to meet that Cassidy?” queried Jovan, staring at Ivan.

“I don't think so. Our men are always watching. When they arrived at Jayfort, they asked a local for a direction of some sort, then they went to a hotel.”

Hearing that, Jovan massaged his temples. “Okay, have our men spy on Cassidy.”

“Yes,” Ivan responded before leaving the office.

When the other man was no longer in sight, Jovan switched on his phone and stared at the message he received. A hint of jealousy then appeared in his eyes. “Curtis...”

Thud!

A loud sound echoed as he threw the phone to the wall, smashing it to pieces.

Meanwhile, Rayna was awakened by a rustling sound at three in the morning.

Opening her eyes, she saw a faint light and waved her hand in front of her face, creating blurry images.

Then, she looked at the sleeping person beside her who had his arm around her. With help from the moonlight penetrating through the thin curtain, she could see his face as she reached out to trace his facial features with a bitter smile.

Eyes, nose, lips...

Even though she now could see, everything was still blurry. All she could make out was a vague silhouette as a whole.

The woman's touch awakened Curtis as he fluttered his eyes open, only to see Rayna's teary eyes. Sitting up, he turned on the bedside lamp. “What's wrong?”

Rayna sat up as well, reaching out to hug the man. “I think I can see, Curtis,” she uttered through sobs.

Upon hearing that, Curtis waved his hand in front of her face. “What's this?”



“I can't see it clearly; all I see is a blurry image,” the woman informed as she grabbed his hand.

At her words, Curtis felt both joy and concern; joy because Rayna could more or less see now, and concern because he did not want this to be the limit of Rayna's recovery.

“We'll meet Cassidy later in the morning and ask her to perform a checkup on you,” stated Curtis while hugging her. Seeing her tears, he added, “Don't cry. It's not good for your eyes.”

Rayna hummed as a reply before grabbing the tissue Curtis was offering her. While wiping the tears at the corner of her eyes, she voiced, “I really want to see the kids.”

“You will,” Curtis consoled. “Even though you can't see too clearly just yet, it's still a good start.”

“Yeah,” replied the woman. “I'm thirsty.”

“I'll get you some water.” Curtis took his pajama from the bedside table and wore it before lifting the quilt and going to the living room to pour some water for her.

Sitting on the bed, Rayna looked out the window. Although she could only see a white dot, she knew that was the moon.

Just then, she heard a rustling sound again, and she was trying to identify where the sound came from. It was not until the sound of something jumping onto the bed echoed that she saw a thing with blue light approaching her.

“Curtis... Curtis...” She clenched the bedsheet out of fear, but she did not shout for she didn't want him to think she was afraid.

Hearing her, Curtis walked toward her in large strides with a glass of water in hand. When he arrived at the doorstep, he noticed the black thing sitting in front of her and instantly understood the situation. “Don't be scared, Rayna.”

With that said, he tiptoed toward the end of the bed to grab the unknown thing before it could react. However, as he approached the bed, he noticed that thing looked like a cat, except it was different from a cat because it did not have ears.

Albeit noticing the man, the creature did not make any noise nor hide away. Instead, it merely glanced at Curtis before its eyes landed on Rayna again.

It finally made some noise at Rayna while simultaneously waggling its furry tail from time to time.
