Chapter 202 Unbothered
Rayna woke up feeling dizzy, and she could feel the soreness in her throat.
Glancing around, she noticed that she was in a ward, and Linda was knitting a sweater beside her. She
mustered her strength to get up from the bed.
“Mom,” she murmured in a hoarse voice.
“Belle, you’re awake?” Linda stopped knitting. “You had a high fever for three days. Your brother and I
were so worried about you!”
“Three days?”
Linda nodded and poured a glass of water for her. “Yeah. The doctor gave you a few injections, but your
fever didn’t go away. Dr. York gave you another injection after that.” She handed her the glass. “Here,
have some water. Are you feeling better now?”
Rayna nodded and drank half of the water from the glass.
She learned that Linda and James had been taking care of her for the past few days. It was just a while
ago that day James left after receiving a phone call from the school.
Linda could not help but feel worried even after Rayna regained consciousness. Feeling perturbed, she
called the doctor to check on Rayna’s condition before buying oatmeal for her.
For the past few days, Rayna had only been given a glucose drip. Having a ravenous appetite, she
finished the oatmeal in an instant. The doctor checked on her and mentioned that her condition was
under control. Hearing that, Rayna attempted to leave her bed.
Linda, however, pushed her back down on the bed. “Stay here for another two days. It’s safer that way.”
“My fever is gone. Why should I stay here?” Rayna responded. She could not wait to leave the hospital,
as there were many important things that she had to handle.
On her way back, Rayna suddenly remembered that she had thrown her phone away. She got herself a
new phone and replaced her lost phone card.
As soon as she activated her new phone, she received an abrupt phone call.
“Nana, where are you? I’ve been calling you for days but to no avail. I even went to your house to look

for you, only to be told by your neighbor that you’ve moved to a new place. I was so worried about you!”
Jessica uttered anxiously.
Warmth filled Rayna’s heart almost instantaneously when she heard Jessica’s words of concern. Her
voice was raspy as she replied, “I caught a cold. I’ll send you my new address later. Come over and have
dinner together after work.”
“I’m not going to wait until I get off work. I’m going over there now. I have so much to tell you!”
“Okay.”
Not long after Rayna and Linda reached home, the doorbell rang.
Rayna opened the door, only to see Jessica hunching over and panting for air. She glanced at the
elevator nearby and asked, “My unit is on the twenty-eighth floor. Please don’t tell me you used the
stairs.”
“The elevator is too slow! Besides, I can exercise by climbing the stairs!” Jessica said. She sized Rayna
up, wanting to lunge forward and hug her. “I’m so glad that you’re fine now!”
Rayna smiled faintly and led her into the house.
After ensuring that Rayna was fine, Jessica exclaimed, “My goodness! Who would have expected that
Mr. Faymon would give Faymon Group to his aunt? On the second day of her promotion, Sienna
eliminated half of the company’s higher-ups who were close to Curtis. She even fired Wyatt.”
Rayna remained expressionless and merely hummed in response. “That makes sense. She wants to
train her own people. Are the other vice CEOs fired too? How are the stocks?”
Julian’s last words before his death were still clear in Rayna’s mind.
“She got rid of one of them, but she’s keeping Mr. Saunders and Mr. Ziegler. I find it confusing why she
still keeps Mr. Saunders around. Previously, Mr. Saunders objected to her being the acting CEO of
Faymon Group.”
Mr. Ziegler is really something, huh? Although the leader of Faymon Group has changed, his position
remains stable in the company. Why did he kill Mr. Lawson, though?
“Mr. Saunders is Brooklyn’s godfather. He has strong connections. By taking over Faymon Group,
Sienna needs help with networking. She’s not that stupid to kick him out,” Linda analyzed.
“Anyway, I’m here to discuss something else with you. Wyatt told me that Mr. Faymon’s leg was fine. In
fact, the car accident was all his plan,” Jessica said. “Ugh! How could Curtis do that? I know that there’s
internal strife within the Faymon family. Even if he needed help, he should look for Wyatt and the rest.
Why would he ask you for help without informing you in advance?”
Jessica got emotional as she spoke, spitting saliva in the air. “He’s a jerk for treating you that way! Who
would have thought that he would get together with Ms. Sanders in the blink of an eye? I bet you don’t
know that Kristie has been mentioning Jasmine on her show. She even addressed Jasmine as her sister-
in-law. Any reasonable man would guess that there’s something going on between Curtis and Ms.
Sanders.”
Hearing those words, Rayna could feel her heart throbbing with pain.
After all, Curtis was someone she had loved.
Nonetheless, she was quick to recompose herself. She sounded unbothered as she said, “They’re
already engaged. Even if Curtis is no longer working in Faymon Group, there’s nothing wrong with him
marrying Ms. Sanders.”
Jessica clutched her head and wailed, “Looks like I’m wrong about physiognomy. Based on my
observation, a sc*mbag like him shouldn’t be able to marry anyone. But he’s getting married now. I wish
to cast an evil spell on him for everything that he has done to you!”
“There’s no need for that.” Rayna gave a small smile. “Stop thinking about him. The more you think about
it, the more upset you’ll get.”
“Are you all right, Nana?” Jessica inched nearer to her. “I know you like Mr. Faymon, but you mustn’t do
anything stupid, okay?”
Rayna was nonplussed. “Do I look like someone who will do anything foolish?”
Jessica nodded. “I don’t know how you got a cold and your voice’s hoarse too. I have a feeling that this
must be related to Mr. Faymon. If you don’t like him, you won’t care so much.”
Her words hit the nail on the head.

Julian died because of that internal strife, and she could not free herself from it.
Jessica went over to Rayna and hugged her gently. “You’re right! Let’s forget about that jerk! You’re
pretty and talented. You’ll have a lot of pursuers going after you. My uncle has a great network. I can ask
for his help to introduce you guys ranging from sixteen-year-old young men to thirty-year-old mature
men. You can pick anyone you want!”
“Come on! A sixteen-year-old is still a student. I’m not interested,” Rayna said with disdain.
“You can wait for a few years until he grows up. It’s a trend to date younger guys. Besides, younger guys
tend to be more obedient!” Jessica chuckled and winked at her playfully.
“I’m already exhausted from raising my younger brother for decades. I don’t want to raise another boy.
Stop messing around.”
“I nearly forgot that you have a younger brother. Is he still in school? I haven’t met him. He stood up on
me twice!”
Rayna recalled about it upon hearing her words.
“You told me that you had been bumping into a tanned young guy at the condominium, right?”
“Yes. He’s Kristie’s bodyguard. Why are you asking that? Do you want to know him too?”
“That’s my brother.”
Jessica was stunned for ten seconds before coming to her senses. “No way,” she said in disbelief.
“Yes. That’s my brother.” Rayna smiled. “He’s currently dating Kristie.”
Jessica slapped herself in the face and felt a slight pain. She said in devastation, “Ugh, Nana! Why didn’t
you tell me earlier? How could you let your brother be sullied by a person like her?”
“I just found out about this too. My mother likes her, though. She even gave her a monetary gift that day.”
Rayna then told her briefly about what had happened during the meal with Kristie.
“Ugh! I can’t believe my handsome boy belongs to Kristie now! I could have been your sister-in-law if he
hadn’t stood me up!” Jessica refused to accept that.
