Dear Sweetheart novel

His Precious Love Chapter 367

“He was probably confined by Arnaud’s men.”

In no time, the call was connected. Surprisingly, Rayna handed the phone to Jefferson. “You talk to him.”

Then she went upstairs.

With the phone in his hand, Jefferson went over to the window.

On the other end of the phone, Ringo questioned upon hearing Rayna’s remark, “What did Ms. Garland want to say,

Sir? Have you taken the medicine?”

“No. Arnaud’s men blew up the lab,” Jefferson said, his lips quirked up. “She promised to return to Yartran with me

to fight for the Terblanc family’s succession rights.”

Such shock flooded Ringo that his face drained of all color. “The medicine is gone? What about your illness, Sir?”

“It’s okay. I’m taking enzyme inhibitors every day. And with her by my side, I won’t die that quickly. Arnaud

tampered with my passport. I need you to help me resolve it.”

“Okay. I’ll settle that in a while,” Ringo answered. In the next heartbeat, his sigh came through the phone, and he

cautioned, “Sir, you’ll definitely be in danger if you come back and fight for the succession rights with him.”

“It doesn’t matter. Most importantly, she’s by my side.”

Jefferson wasn’t bothered by that in the least. He looked at the moonlight outside the window, his gaze tender.

Ringo was exceedingly efficient. In just two days, the issue of Jefferson’s passport had been resolved.

Rayna contacted the landlord to discuss terminating the lease. After booking the flight tickets, she packed the things

in the house with Jefferson.

In truth, they hadn’t much, and two suitcases were already sufficient to accommodate everything.

After breakfast, Rayna noticed the sun shining brightly outside. She said to Jefferson, “I’m going out to buy some

things later.”

“I’ll go with you.” Jefferson was worried since she was with a child.

Rayna shook her head and smiled. “The supermarket isn’t far, so it’s a short trip. I’m only planning on buying some

groceries since we’ve still got to eat dinner tonight. Take care of the flowers in the greenhouse.”

Jefferson didn’t argue further.

After Rayna left, Jefferson went to the greenhouse, only to see that the young shoots in the ground were growing

increasingly higher.

Some had grown so fast that stems had formed and were already sprouting leaves.

He watered them, then touched the young shoots and inwardly decided that he was going to phone Ringo after

arriving back in Yartran and have the man dig them out together with the soil and transport them to his

manor in Yartran

Rayna and I planted them. They belong to us, so they shouldn’t stay here.

When he stepped out of the greenhouse, he saw a few blond children playing at the gates. At the sight of him, they

stared at him wide–eyed in curiosity before rushing over and clamoring for candies.

Chapter 367

All the children were petite and chubby, looking incredibly adorable.

Recalling that there were still some chocolates in the house, he took them out and distributed them to the children,

who then thanked him sweetly.

It had been several days, but Rayna had never mentioned what she planned to do about her pregnancy. He had

also been struggling deep within his heart. On the one hand, he wanted to encourage her to abort the baby, but on

the other, he wanted her to keep it out of worry that an abortion would be detrimental to her health.

As he gazed at the adorable children, his heart softened.

He fervently hoped it was his child, but he wasn’t upset either by the fact that it wasn’t the case. Ultimately, it was

Rayna’s child. Since he loved her, he would also take good care of her child, treating the child as his own.

Just as he headed back to the house, he inadvertently noticed that the car in the parking lot was gone. He promptly

stopped short.

It’s just a few minutes to get to the supermarket in this residential area. Yet, she drove?

Out of the blue, he remembered the phone call Rayna had received that morning. She lowered her voice and told

the person on the other end of the phone that she would be there right on the dot. When she left, she even seemed

to have stuffed a lot of cash into her bag.

The moment the possibility of where she had gone popped into his mind, he sprinted into the house. Grabbing his

phone, he immediately rang Ringo up.

“Help me investigate Rayna’s location right away!”

Jefferson had just gotten into a taxi when Ringo sent him the location. It was none other than the hospital he and

Rayna visited that day.

He instantly urged the driver to floor the pedal. Unease engulfed him, as he could deduce that Rayna only wanted

to abort the baby for fear that it would be her weakness and stop her from doing certain things.

No! I’d never forgive myself for the rest of my life if I were to watch her abort the baby without doing anything!

Time and again, he urged the driver to go faster. When the taxi came to a stop, he charged toward the hospital at

once, darting his eyes around. Soon, he arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology department.

The instant he uttered Rayna’s name, the nurse told him that Rayna had just been called and had gone into the

operating room.

Right then, Rayna was lying on a bed in the operating room. Throughout it all, her heart pounded wildly, and her

stomach cramped. I wonder if the baby is feeling anxious and protesting.

She stroked her belly, her heart clenching painfully.

I can still keep my pregnancy under wraps when I go over to Yartran, but I won’t be able to hide my belly as it

gradually grows by the day Once Arnaud learns about it, he’ll undoubtedly make a move against the babies and use

it to blackmail Curtis. I can’t keep the babies!

A long time passed, but no doctor came in. Instead, a nurse entered the room.

“Sorry, Ms. Garland, but a patient is experiencing severe blood loss, so all the doctors have gone over to assist. How

about a medical abortion? It’s almost the same as a painless artificial abortion.” The nurse held out a pill and a

glass of warm water to her.

She had Rayna sign a liability waiver form before allowing her to take the pill.

Chapter 367

Rayna stared at the pill in her palm. Biting the bullet, she tossed it into her mouth and swallowed it with warm

water.

No sooner had she put the glass down than the operating room door was pushed open from the outside.

Jefferson rushed in while all panicked, fixating his gaze on Rayna. “Have you had the operation, Belle?”

“Why are you here?” Rayna was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that her face was ruddy and that she didn’t seem to have gone through with the operation, he breathed a

sigh of relief. “I’m glad you didn’t have the operation.”

Rayna pursed her lips. “The doctor didn’t come, so I took a pill instead.”

“A pill?” As soon as Jefferson glimpsed the half glass of warm water in her hand, his pupils abruptly constricted. He

roughly yanked her up and dragged her to the sink. “Spit it out now.”

Rayna shook her head. “How am I to do that when I’ve swallowed it? Besides, I don’t want to keep the babies.”

“I’m telling you to spit it out! Who allowed you to abort the babies? I don’t allow it!” Jefferson’s eyes had gone

scarlet. Pinching her chin, he poked his finger into her mouth.

That action of his hurt Rayna. As bile surged up her throat, she shoved him away and vomited into the sink.

Jefferson didn’t find the vomit filthy. He rummaged through it without hesitation. When he caught sight of the tiny

pill, he anxiously demanded, “It was just a single pill, right? Answer me!”

Rayna nodded in assent.

Sheer relief suffused Jefferson. Pulling her into his arms, he tried his best to suppress his emotions. “I know your

fear. The babies won’t be your weakness. I’ll protect the three of you. Keep them, Belle. I’m by your side. If Arnaud

dares to do anything to you and the babies, I’ll definitely fight him to the death.”

“Jefferson…” Rayna’s eyes stung, and utter anguish inundated her.

“I know you still love him, and I don’t mind it. I’m serious. I don’t want your body to suffer any harm, nor for the loss

of the babies to become your regret. As long as it’s something I have, I’ll give it all to them. Belle, I hope to be your

armor and shield.”

By then, Rayna was already bawling uncontrollably. Not knowing what to say, she hugged him and allowed herself

to depend on him.

“Okay”

Subsequently, the nurse came back to check on Rayna, but Rayna said she had spit out the pill. After getting some

labor suppressants, she returned to the mansion with Jefferson. That entire incident would likely remain at the back

of her mind.

Three days later, the two of them went to the airport.

Ringo appeared before them with a few men behind him. “Sir, Ms. Garland, we’ll be boarding the plane as well to

ensure your safety”

A faint smile bloomed on Rayna’s face. “Actually, that isn’t necessary. I checked the passenger list when buying the

flight tickets, and a few top scientists from Moranta are also on this flight. Even if Arnaud wants to sabotage things,

he won’t dare do so.”
