Chapter 753 The Notebook

Rayna sat in the living room and watched the news coverage on television. After letting out a long sigh, she commented, “I thought it was just Glory, but I didn't expect Mr. Zeller to go so far.”

The nanny walked into the living room with one of the triplets in her arms. Hearing Rayna's words, she glanced at the television. “Why does this Mr. Zeller from Zeller Group look so familiar?”

The nanny who spoke was the one who usually looked after Xareni.

When Rayna heard her words, she turned to look at her. “Really?”

After giving it some thought, the nanny replied, “Yes. I think a similar incident occurred many years ago, but it didn't happen in Norwal City.”

Rayna inquired, “When and where did it happen?”

“At Loytas Mountain,” the nanny answered.

It was then Rayna recalled Cassidy had mentioned that Shvomhid Mountain was previously known as Loytas Mountain.

“Is it known as Shvomhid Mountain now?” Rayna asked.

“Yes. That's the place.” The nanny nodded.

Hearing her response, Rayna immediately picked up her phone and dialed Curtis' number.

Curtis, who was in a meeting at Faymon Group, gestured to the senior executives when his phone screen lit up. He then picked up his phone and left the conference room. “What's wrong?”

Rayna uttered anxiously, “The nanny said that the same cosmetic accident once happened in Loytas Mountain, which is now known as Shvomhid Mountain. I'm wondering if Andrew's men might still be on Shvomhid Mountain.”

“Are you sure?” he questioned.

“I'm certain. I still remember that incident too. A woman died abruptly on the mountain, and birds of the same species as the hellfire birds appeared before her passing. If I remember correctly, those birds came out as they are sensitive to smell.” She gazed at the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window while holding her phone.

“Do you have any evidence?” Curtis asked solemnly.

“You can ask James to bring a group of men to Shvomhid Mountain but have him act with caution. He'll be able to find the evidence,” Rayna enunciated.

Not long after her call with Curtis ended, she got up and headed to the study upstairs.

Meanwhile, Curtis contacted both James and Jeremy. He then instructed J to lead a group of men to Shvomhid Mountain right away.

Rayna took out a locked notebook from the display cabinet and unlocked it with a key. Then, she flipped through the pages one at a time until she came to an old diary page.

On that page, it was written clearly that she bled from being scratched by a certain kind of plant, as well as entries about coming across a dead person and a bird that would stare at people.

Rayna continued going through the pages until she came to the third page, where she even found a newspaper cut out of that particular bird. “It's the hellfire bird...”

The moment she saw the picture, she recognized at first glance that it was the hellfire bird she had seen in Jayfort.

She took a photo and sent it to Curtis: This is the hellfire bird.

When Curtis saw the message she sent, his brows furrowed slightly as he replied: Where did you get this from?

Rayna texted back: It's in my old notebook. It's been a very long time, and I don't remember it myself. I wouldn't have recalled it if the nanny hadn't mentioned Loytas Mountain suddenly.

She then shared her thoughts with Curtis, writing: It's best to investigate it as it might come in handy at some point. I remember that this species of bird has a rather heightened sensitivity toward smells, so I wonder if the hellfire birds were drawn to the smell from Ashley's father-in-law or if those townspeople who went to Cassidy's house had that smell too.

Curtis sent the photo to Vance: This is the hellfire bird. Please find out their behavioral patterns.

Vance replied to the text with an OK hand emoji.

That night, Rayna tossed and turned in bed. Her constant movements alarmed Curtis, who was lying next to her.

He turned on the light and got up to check on her, only to find out that her forehead was covered with beads of cold sweat. It was clear that she was in great discomfort.

“What's wrong, Rayna?” he called out to her gently.

“I feel like something is biting at my entire body. It hurts so much, and it feels awful,” Rayna mumbled feebly as she opened her eyes in a daze.

At once, Curtis lifted the covers. He picked her up and rushed out of the bedroom. “Come quick! Drive us to the hospital now!” he hollered.

The driver hastily got up to drive the car, flooring the accelerator to reach the hospital as soon as possible.

Standing outside the ward, Curtis watched the doctors surround Rayna as he waited with a pale complexion.

His wife's anguished cries could occasionally be heard from inside the ward.

Alfred and Linda rushed to the hospital in a hurry. At the same time, Theodore, Jasmine, and Jessie also came with them.

“What's going on? Wasn't everything fine before? Didn't you two return home after she was completely cured? How did she become so sick in just a few days?” Linda questioned Curtis, choking up.
