His Precious Love

Chapter 584

Curtis walked over to Sandy and asked, “Are you feeling hurt anywhere?”

Although it had been long since Sandy had returned, Curtis had been indifferent to her and wouldn't call her Mom.

His sudden care caught her by surprise.

Sandy replied, “No. It's just a minor scratch on my arm. The one who got shot—”

She stopped abruptly as her face turned pale.

“Curtis, you should stay here with Mrs. Verlice.” Jeremy knew Curtis had something to ask Sandy, so he quickly left

the ward with the cart.

Curtis walked over to the table, poured Sandy a glass of warm water, pulled a chair, and sat down next to the bed.

“How did you run into him?” Curtis asked calmly.

After holding the glass of water in her hands quietly for a while, Sandy stated, “I went to help at Linda's shop this

morning. After I received a call from the housekeeper in the afternoon, I was heading home when I met him

unexpectedly at the mall.”

Sandy was told that Alfred refused to eat and thought he was feeling unwell. That was why she rushed home to

check on him. That was when she bumped into Boniel at the revolving door and dropped her phone.

When she was about to crouch down, Boniel picked up the phone before her and returned it to her.

“Thank you.” Sandy flashed a faint smile, and her face turned pale instantly when she raised her head and saw

Boniel. Her body hit the glass door after she stumbled backward.

Although Boniel was middle-aged, he appeared tall and charming. He had blond hair and mesmerizing blue eyes.

When he met Sandy's eyes, he was taken aback, and his eyes widened. “Xandra...”

The man almost lost his voice, his eyes ablaze.

“I'm not her! You've got the wrong person!” Sandy pushed Boniel, who was approaching her, away before leaving in

a mess with her head dropped low.

At the stairwell outside of the mall, she lost her balance and almost slipped and fell.

Boniel, who had followed her, quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her toward him. Staring at her, he said, “I can't

believe you're still alive. I saw your dead body with my own eyes.”

“Let go of me!” The color drained from Sandy's face as she struggled to break free. “You've mistaken me for

someone else!”

“There's no way I've got the wrong person,” stated Boniel confidently. Cupping her cheeks and moving his fingers to

brush her eyes, he continued, “You look different now, but I will never get to see those same old eyes again.”

Sandy's body trembled, and she couldn't keep a clear mind. “Let go, or I will call the police.”

“You've been trying so hard to hide from me. I thought you were dead.” Pulling her closer into his arms, Boniel

added, “I dreamt of you every night for the past decades.”

“You deserve to go to hell!” Sandy finally broke down as she hit him. “You've ruined my entire life. I wish you were

dead!”

Boniel did not let go of Sandy no matter how hard she hit or bit him.

There were many passersby. Most of them only saw Boniel and Sandy hugging each other but were unaware of

someone on the rooftop who had aimed a silencer gun at Boniel.

Disregarding Sandy's struggle, Boniel cupped her face and planted a kiss.

He muttered, “It's my fault. I promise not to do it again. Please come back with me, Xandra. I've raised our son to

be a fine young man. He's as smart as you. I'm sure you will adore him.”

“He's not my son. Let me go!” Sandy struggled more and gave him several slaps with her free hand in anger. “How

dare you even think of taking me with you? Are you even human?”

Despite her assault, Boniel didn't get mad at all. Seeing her struggling hard, he didn't care. He held her tighter and

forcefully dragged her to the car at the roadside.

“I can't stand dreaming of you day after day, yet I can't touch you. You're mine. I must take you with me.”

Sandy yelled, “Boniel, we're not in Yartran. You're going way out of line!”

“As long as I want to take you with me, no one can stop me.”

“Go to hell!” Sandy screamed hysterically and began punching him.

Boniel paused in his tracks before he threw Sandy to the ground hard.

As Sandy's arm hit the stairwell, a big scratch stretched across her skin. The pain made her lose consciousness for

two seconds.

Then, Sandy heard a faint swoosh and saw something enter Boniel's body.

When she opened her eyes, she heard the same sound again and clearly saw a bullet coming from a distance and

penetrating through Boniel's back. His body trembled several times as he shielded her.

As she watched the blood staining his back and smelled the sharp tang of it, her limbs froze.

Her lips quivered, and she couldn't speak a word out of fear.

Boniel lifted his arm and glanced at her pale face. His body swayed, and he was about to collapse to the ground.

“You're all right. Thank God. I love you...” His voice grew softer as he spoke.

Boniel lay in her arms. With his heavy body pressing against hers, she could hardly breathe.

“Xandra...” Boniel leaned closer to her lips as his breathing weakened. “I love our child... and gave my everything to

him... You must love him... Please...”

After a few seconds, Sandy heard nothing more.

Her mind went blank. She didn't expect someone who had been haunting her like a nightmare to lose his life just

like that.

He died in her arms, and she could still feel the warmth on his face.

Sandy only regained her senses when a scream rang out in her ears. She quickly grabbed her bag and searched for

her phone.

With a low voice, Sandy told Curtis everything that had happened at the mall.

Curtis maintained an indifferent look as he crossed his arms.

After Sandy revealed that Boniel had been shot twice, Curtis could guess the mastermind was Arnaud. He didn't

expect Arnaud would be so cruel as to hire an assassin to kill Boniel.

“Rest well. Leave the matter to me.” Curtis stood up.

When he was about to leave, Sandy called after him and said hesitantly, “Linda said it had been a month since

Rayna last visited her. She couldn't reach her too. Where is she?”

“I don't know, but Jefferson took her.” Curtis was most concerned about Rayna right now.

“What?” His answer took Sandy by surprise. Seeing the anxious look on Curtis' face, Sandy knew he was not

kidding. Something came into her mind and she said, “I-I have no idea he would dare to take Rayna away.”

Curtis felt something was wrong. He glanced at Sandy and asked, “What did you say to him?”

“When I visited Rayna at the hospital that day, I met him by coincidence,” stated Sandy, pursing her lips. A guilty

look hung on her face. “I talked to him in a café and asked him to leave Norwal City.”

Sandy soon finished her words. Curtis' face grew darker by the second.

He didn't expect it was Sandy who made Jefferson take Rayna away.

“Curtis, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said that to him.” Sandy was afraid that Rayna would feel troubled if Jefferson

stayed in Norwal City, so she decided to talk to him.

“I will find her. You should rest well.” Curtis didn't blame Sandy and quickly left the ward.

Meanwhile, Jeremy and Wyatt were talking in the hallway.

When Wyatt saw Curtis, he said, “Curtis, I've checked the surveillance camera footage from the mall and saw a

sniper on the rooftop. He's a retired soldier from the special forces and often accepts private deals on the black

market. After he murdered Boniel, he took a cruise ship and escaped the country.”
