His Precious Love

Chapter 551

After Jacob entered the operating room, the nurse closed the door, shutting the others outside.

Rayna glanced at Curtis and was surprised to find the latter looking at her too.

When they met each other's eyes, Rayna's heart trembled for a moment before she looked away.

She crossed her arms and stared at the wall, waiting patiently.

Ever since Curtis caused the ruckus in the church, she told him a relationship between the two of them would

never, ever be possible. Even though he didn't cross the line, he always had a way of appearing in front of me. One

time, when I was discussing business with someone, he coincidentally showed up. Then, because the person I was

talking to knew who he was, they insisted on having a meal and discussing business with him. There was another

time when Kristie begged me to prepare a meal for her. After I bought a bunch of ingredients, I went back to her

place, and there he was, in the elevator. He even helped me with the bags and ate the food I made. Even though

he didn't proactively humble himself, I seem to always come across him wherever I go. It's especially irritating

when I know he's the reason for my successful business collaborations.

In the end, Rayna couldn't take it anymore and spoke to him coldly. “Why do I always bump into you no matter

where I go? I don't recall Faymon Group having a little amount of work according to my experience of working

there.”

“Norwal City's not that big, especially when you're traveling in a car. It's not that weird for us to encounter each

other often,” Curtis replied.

“Are you intentionally following me?”

He smiled. “You were the one who said the children will be taken into the Faymon family once they're born. We

discussed this clearly before, didn't we? As long as you don't marry anyone else, I won't bother you. Why would I

follow you, then?”

Rayna was so enraged that she couldn't muster a word out. Indeed, I don't have any evidence of him following me.

In fact, I feel like a narcissist asking him that question because it makes me sound like I believe I hold an important

spot in his heart!

Kristie didn't have the guts to interrupt the two when she sensed the awkward atmosphere around them.

She approached the similarly invisible assistant and asked, “Why are you here?”

“Mr. Valentine called me,” the assistant replied in a small voice. “He was afraid Mr. Faymon wouldn't make it to the

hospital in time, so he asked me to take care of the situation. I didn't expect Mr. Faymon to arrive earlier than me.”

“Ah. Then when did Wyatt find Jessica?”

The assistant was visibly hesitant to answer her.

Hence, Kristie continued, “You know it's meaningless to hide the truth by this point, right?”

I suppose she's right. When Wyatt wakes up, he'll tell them what happened. He proceeded to inform, “Two weeks

ago, Mr. Lopez called and asked me to borrow Shadow. When he returned from Yartran, he brought Mrs. Lopez

back with him.”

Then he sighed. “Mr. Lopez had married her for only a few days, and he treated her very nicely. Heck, he even

asked me to help investigate her uncle's death. Hence, I didn't expect her to do such a thing.”

“What?” Kristie shrieked, dumbstruck. “T-They're married?”

Rayna was startled by Kristie's scream.

Upon returning to her senses, she turned to Kristie and asked, “Who married who?”

Still dumbfounded, Kristie pointed at the assistant. “He said Wyatt married Jessica already.”

“That's impossible!” Rayna spat coldly and with disbelief.

Steeling himself, the assistant continued, “It's true. I saw Mr. Lopez bring her to the City Hall to register their

marriage. They even went to take wedding photos. I didn't expect she would...”

“She did it all willingly?”

Glancing at Rayna, the assistant answered in an indirect way, “They obtained their marriage certificate, Ms.

Garland. What do you think?”

Rayna heaved slightly as she grimaced. I refuse to believe Jessica would willingly marry Wyatt! He must've forced

her to do it! He's such a shameless b*stard!

“Wait, what did you say?” Kristie noticed something peculiar in the assistant's remark and inquired, “If Wyatt's the

one who asked you to investigate Jessica's uncle's death, then it means he wasn't the one who ordered the hit,

right?”

“Ah, no, no.” The assistant hastily clarified, “There's no way Mr. Lopez would hurt her uncle. He told me someone

intentionally framed the murder on him and asked me to find the real culprit.”

Upon hearing that, Rayna grabbed his arm and questioned, “So, Wyatt wasn't the one who sent a group of thugs to

interrogate and assault Jessica's uncle after he couldn't find her?”

“It seems like someone is intentionally setting Mr. Lopez up.” When the assistant saw how Rayna reacted, he also

started to believe the matter was much more complicated than it appeared. “The culprit is such a sinister b*stard. I

can't believe they intentionally led you all to think Mr. Lopez's the one who murdered Jessica's uncle.”

Curtis had been listening to the conversation. Hence, when he noticed something was off, he approached the

assistant with a frown and demanded, “Tell us everything you know.”

“When I was searching for Jessica's whereabouts, I accidentally discovered that her uncle and aunt were dead...”

The assistant told everyone present everything he unearthed during his investigation.

After Rayna finished listening to his words, she finally realized she had misunderstood the situation all along. So,

Oliver and his wife's deaths have nothing to do with Wyatt at all! Someone purposefully framed their murders on

him!

At that moment, she felt very remorseful. “I thought Jessie injured Wyatt to avenge her uncle and aunt.”

Then she noticed something didn't add up. “I didn't tell Jessie they died, though. I only sent her away back then.

How did she know?”

With a grim expression, the assistant disclosed, “Mr. Lopez told me people had been stalking her. After she arrived

at Yartran, those people blinded her.”

Rayna was so shocked by the revelation that she almost forgot to breathe. “She couldn't see?”

“Yes. Those people kidnapped her, though she luckily escaped.” He knew because he accidentally overheard

Jacob's conversation with Wyatt the other day.

“No wonder Jefferson's men couldn't find Jessie...” A shiver ran down her spine as she muttered, “So, someone has

been monitoring my every move, yet I still sent Jessie out of the country...”

She didn't expect her attempt to help Jessica would end up hurting the latter.

When Curtis noticed Rayna was trembling, he approached and held her. “Don't overthink it. There was no way you

could've known someone had been watching you two in secret. It's not your fault.”

“No, it's all my fault...” She wanted to push him away, but she teared up instead.

Out of nowhere, the door to the operating room was violently pushed open.

A nurse bolted out of the room. “Melissa, call Dr. Vasque here right now!” As she sprinted down the corridor, she

shouted at her colleague, “The patient's breathing is getting weaker! We're about to lose him! Call Dr. Vasque now!”

Considering the nurse left the operating room nearest to Rayna and the others, it was obvious who was about to

die.

When Rayna heard that, she almost dropped to the ground in front of the operating room. Thankfully, Curtis caught

her in time.

Kristie and the assistant were flabbergasted.

As Curtis held Rayna, he grabbed his phone, wanting to give Jeremy a call. His face was terrifyingly grim.

Earlier, when he arrived at the hospital, he had already called Jeremy. He even asked a pilot to pick him up with

Shadow.

However, he was aware it would take time to travel since there was a long distance between Xyperia and Chanaea.
