Dear Sweetheart novel

His Precious Love Chapter 364

Curtis left the woman in his arms to Gabriel before turning around to face Raynal

Her heart trembled slightly as her gaze met his.

Rayna knew she had made a lot of mistakes. She shouldn’t have kept things from Curtis by bringing Jefferson to

Frosa in secret, and she shouldn’t have taken things for granted by not calling James.

Rayna could taste the tears streaming down her cheeks. Her heart was aching terribly inside.

She was about to say something when she noticed Curtis had already reached for his waist and pulled out a gun,

aiming it squarely at Jefferson. Her pupils shrank immediately as she lunged toward Jefferson.

“Curtis, no!”

Having owed Jefferson so much, she could no longer continue to do so anymore.

Jefferson, however, reacted even faster than Rayna. He grabbed her and spun around quickly, with his back facing

Curtis.

Rayna lay in his tight embrace, and her legs went limp instantly.

Curtis‘ gaze became cold and relentless as he fired a shot with the silencer–equipped gun on Jefferson’s right

shoulder.

Jefferson groaned in pain, still holding Rayna tightly in his arms.

“No… Please…” Rayna caught a whiff of blood in the air. She could not push Jefferson away no matter what. Her

hands trembled as she cried loudly in his embrace.

Jefferson’s voice rang in her ears. “I’m fine. Don’t cry.”

Tears covered Rayna’s face. She cautiously pushed Jefferson away, just in time to see Curtis and Gabriel walking

toward them.

Curtis exuded a frigid and distant vibe as if he had arrived like the winter snow, filling the air with bone–chilling

iciness.

Rayna could only stare at him in a daze.

Just when he brushed past her, Curtis suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Rayna with his eyes filled with

mockery and contempt. He slowly removed the platinum ring from his ring finger and casually tossed it at her.

The ring landed on the tiled floor and rolled around before Rayna’s shoes blocked its path, and it lay quietly next

to her.

Curtis eventually left. His retreating figure looked lonely and cold.

Rayna felt as if someone had taken a knife and slashed her heart mercilessly. The pain within her was so intense

that her entire body trembled violently. She clutched the fabric around her chest and watched as the man gradually

disappear from her sight.

Curtis‘ act of tossing the ring away gave the final verdict of their relationship.

They were finally over.

Since it had caused quite a commotion in the hotel, the manager and staff from the front desk gathered around

them. Seeing Jefferson covered in blood, they quickly treated his wound and called for an ambulance.

Despite the excruciating pain, Jefferson pushed them away and insisted on making his way toward Rayna.

He took her hand. “Belle.”

Rayna turned around to look at him. Jefferson’s heart broke when he saw her pale face. She looked like at child who

had lost her way.

“He’s gone…” Rayna finally spoke as tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably. She was utterly heartbroken.

“He doesn’t want me anymore… What do I do…”

“I want you, Belle. I’m right here by your side.” Having lost so much blood, Jefferson had a hard time trying to

speak, but he held Rayna’s hands tightly and gently comforted her.

It didn’t matter how much time had passed; they had always been together.

Jefferson was certain that they were meant for each other.

Noticing that his brown sweater was drenched in blood, as well as sensing the metallic smell of blood that filled her

nose, Rayna fainted immediately, overwhelmed by her emotions.

In order to cushion her fall, Jefferson bent his knees and caught her just in time.

However, as a result of his hasty actions, both his wounds were ripped open and blood gushed out.

Jefferson did his hardest to take deep breaths while embracing Rayna tightly.

Even after the paramedics arrived with stretchers to carry them, he still maintained consciousness and conveyed

his request in Ferropenian. “We would like to be together. Don’t separate us.”

Once they arrived at the hospital, Jefferson was sent to the operating room.

It took nearly two hours of surgery before he was finally sent to the same ward where Rayna was staying.

The next day, Jefferson woke up.

He peered around anxiously before breathing a sigh of relief when he noticed Rayna resting on the hospital bed

next to him.

“You’re awake, Sir?” Just then, the blonde–haired nurse, who was on her rounds, noticed Jefferson awake and called

the doctor in charge over.

After examining Jefferson’s condition, the doctor said, “The wounds showed no signs of infection at the moment.

Just change the dressing regularly, and you’ll be fine after a week’s rest.”

Jefferson nodded and glanced at Rayna. “Why hasn’t she woken up yet?”

“Oh, right, I was about to discuss something with you.” The nurse behind the doctor in charge asked, “Are you two

married or just romantically involved?”

Jefferson contemplated briefly before replying, “We have plans to get married”

He feared Rayna’s impression of him would be ruined if she was asked the same question by the nurse once she

was awake.

“That means both of you are engaged to be married,” the nurse said as she looked through the medical report.

“She’s pregnant. However, there were signs of miscarriage due to her high–stress level and exhaustion.”

It took a moment for Jefferson to respond. With a dazed expression, he asked, “W–What did you just say?”

Chapter 364

The nurse repeated herself patiently, “I said, your wife is pregnant. Previously, we performed an ultrasound test on

her and discovered that she was expecting twins. However, whether she is able to keep the infants depends on her

physical state. If she continues to overwork herself and doesn’t take any labor suppressants, no amount of good

medical treatment will be enough to help her.”

S–She’s pregnant? Is she having C–Curtis‘ child?

Jealousy surged within Jefferson. His gaze darkened, and his entire body exuded a hint of hostility.

No wonder Rayna has been feeling sluggish lately, with some occasional dry retching. Not only that, but she

mentioned going to the hospital for a check–up, saying that her period was late. Turns out that she’s pregnant!

He remembered the glass of juice Rayna had drunk the night before and asked the nurse anxiously. “Is there

anything abnormal about the babies? She consumed a tiny dose of hallucinogens previously.”

The nurse glared at him and said, “You had no idea she was pregnant, and you allowed her to consume those

drugs?”

“I didn’t know she was pregnant. I just thought she was simply tired…” Jefferson muttered in frustration, feeling

somewhat guilty.

Even though he disliked the fact that Curtis was the father of the twins, Rayna had been overworking herself in

Frosa for the sake of him.

He knew that abortion was extremely detrimental to a woman’s health.

The nurse drew some blood from Rayna and said to Jefferson, “A small dosage should be fine. I’ll check again just to

make sure about it. You should take good care of her.”

“I know.”

After the nurse left the room, Jefferson looked at Rayna, lifted his blanket, and struggled to get out of bed.

His wounds were sensitive to even the slightest movement, causing him to furrow his eyebrows in pain. Despite

that, he went over to Rayna, pulled a chair to sit down, and held her hands.

Her hands were soft and slender, but they felt cold to the touch.

Jefferson carefully held her hands as he observed her haggard face. Unable to suppress the pain and sorrow within

him, he muttered, “I’m so sorry, Belle. I almost harmed your babies.”

Gently kissing the back of her hand, Jefferson added, “I will never allow anything like this to happen again. I

promise.”

He stayed beside Rayna’s bed the entire morning until he was told off by a nurse who came to dress his wounds. He

eventually went back to his bed after being reprimanded by the nurse for wasting the doctor’s

time.

At two in the afternoon, Jefferson was about to send Ringo a message when he heard a faint noise.

He saw Rayna opening her eyes and gazing up at the ceiling. At the sight of that, he tucked the phone discreetly

under his pillow, got out of his bed, and went to her.

“Belle.”

Rayna turned her head to find Jefferson standing next to her in a hospital gown. In spite of his pale appearance, he

seemed to be in good health.
