Jefferson was very agile. The moment Curtis made a move, he immediately pulled Rayna behind him and stared at
Curtis.
“Mr. Faymon, I’m more than happy to welcome you if you are here to attend our wedding.” Jefferson looked hostile
as he was talking. “However, if you are here to cause trouble, then don’t blame me for defending her!”
Curtis calmed himself down and become more rational. “She is experiencing some issues after taking your labor
suppressants. I need to take her to the hospital.”
“Then I should go with her as well. Mr. Faymon, please take a seat.”
Curtis knew that he was being too impulsive.
Even if Rayna’s labor suppressants had issues, he could have just sent him a message. Why would I show up at their
wedding? What’s wrong with me?
His hands twitched. Just as he was about to leave the stage, he glanced at the woman standing behind Jefferson.
She was dressed in a pure white wedding gown and looked elegant and beautiful.
She lowered her head, and her veil covered her gorgeous face.
She stood very close to her groom and did not notice Curtis.
His eyes darkened. All of a sudden, he had a strong inclination to take her away with him.
Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
He decided to follow his impulsiveness and removed his tie. Just as Jefferson was about to make a move, Curtis
wrapped the tie around Jefferson’s hands, bent down, and scooped Rayna easily into his arms.
When she got lifted up suddenly, Rayna got a shock.
Seeing that Curtis was walking down the stage with her in his arms, she turned pale and started pushing him.
“Curtis, what are you doing? It’s my wedding day today! Put me down now!”
“I know,” replied Curtis curtly. “But you need to go to the hospital.”
Rayna was at a loss for words.
Curtis was incredibly fast in his movement.
By the time Jefferson undid the tie and rushed down the stage, Curtis had already walked out of the church with his

The wedding guests exchanged glances as they saw Jefferson running after Curtis and Rayna.
“Hahaha! He’s my grandson for sure!” Alfred was beyond ecstatic when he saw Curtis run off with the bride. “I
knew that he will come to take Rayna away. He’s exactly like me!”
Sandy was speechless.
Hmph! Who was the one who kept scolding Curtis and calling him a coward?
Rayna was still struggling when she was being placed in the car. She was so furious that her voice was shaky when
she talked. “Curtis, this wedding is being broadcast live. What’s going to happen to Faymon Group now?”
“I have already contacted the people controlling Twitter and the various media websites,” said Curtis calmly. “It’s
not a big deal if we can’t put a blanket ban on the media. Faymon Group has encountered scandals in the past
anyway.”
After another few attempts to break free, Rayna knew that it was futile. She then looked at him calmly and said,
“Curtis, we aren’t children anymore. After what you have done just now, Faymon Group will suffer the greatest
loss.”
Since that night she knelt down and begged him, she had already given up on him.
Curtis did not know what to say and struggled. “The labor suppressants that you have taken in the past have some
issues. I need to take you to the hospital for a checkup.”
“What do you mean?” asked Rayna with a frown. “How do you know which labor suppressants I have taken?”
To that, Curtis replied, “Carl has shown me the picture of the medicine box before. He said he has collected it once
on your behalf. He saw that you have finished all the medications you have at home, so he went to the hospital to
get some more for you. Did you take any of the medicine that he has brought back for you?”
“I can’t remember.” Rayna shook her head. She was not lying. “Recently, I have been too busy.”
“Then let’s go to the hospital for a checkup.”
Rayna remembered lying to Curtis about the age of the fetus. She lied and claimed that the report belonged to
someone else. If they went to the hospital, it would not be long before he found out that the babies were his.
“Stop the car!” shouted Rayna. “I’ll go on my own. There’s no need to trouble you.”
Curtis held her down. “There are so many cars on the road. Where do you intend to go? Or, is there something you
are keeping from me?”
Rayna panicked instantly and sneered, “You think too much. I just don’t want to be recognized at the hospital later
on. People will surely admonish me for ditching my groom and having an affair with you, Mr. Faymon!”
Curtis nearly choked on his saliva, so he said nothing. Instead, he instructed the driver to continue driving.
Very soon, they arrived at the hospital.
Curtis forced Rayna to go to the hospital. However, everyone was staring at her in curiosity while they were on the
way to the obstetrics and gynecology department since she was still in her wedding gown.
After carrying her into the doctor’s office, Curtis informed the doctor, “There is something wrong with the labor
suppressants that she has taken earlier. Please do a thorough checkup for her.”
Since it was not convenient for him to stay on, he left after giving his instruction.
Curtis gave Gabriel a call and got him to try to stop Jefferson from coming to the hospital.
After he was done with the phone call, he saw a nurse about to enter the consultation room. When he recalled the
odd way Rayna behaved in the car earlier on, he stopped the nurse.
“Please check the condition and gestation age of the baby for me. Don’t let her know.”
After a thorough checkup, Rayna and her baby were found to be in a healthy condition. However, Rayna refused to
have her report generated.
She even told the doctor that the man outside was not related to her and her baby and hoped that the doctor
would not divulge any detail about her pregnancy.
In truth, she had no idea that the nurse who had gone out earlier had already told Curtis about everything.
Curtis did his calculation and confirmed that when they had their vacation in Jetroina the year before, it was then
they did not take any precautions. As such, she got pregnant. The child was his.
In the past, he had his suspicions, but Rayna denied it. Now that he discovered that the baby was his, he was
stunned and could not keep his cool.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis d*mn woman! How dare she lie to me and tell me that the child belongs to Jefferson!
If he had not been shrewd enough and asked the nurse to keep a tab on things, he would never find out the truth.
Curtis rubbed his temples. Before he could calm himself down, the door of the consultation room opened.
Out came Rayna, and she eyed him coldly. “Thank you for waiting, Mr. Faymon. Both the baby and I are fine. I still
need to rush back for my wedding. You don’t have to worry about sending me.”
With that, she held her heavy gown and took a step.
Curtis immediately went toward her and carried her in his arms. Since she lost her balance, she had no choice but
to put her arms around his shoulders.
“I told you I don’t need you to send me back. I can get a taxi,” Rayna protested. In her state of panic, she pushed
his hands away and told him off, “My wedding gown is so heavy. If you drop me, the baby will be injured even
though it’s fine now!”
Curtis said nothing.
Rayna was getting annoyed. “Curtis, put me down!”
Curtis held on to her with a firm grip and strolled out of the hospital. He looked at her coldly and said through
gritted teeth, “Rayna, you’re really something. I can’t believe it!”
His frosty stare scared the wits out of her. She was worried that he might have discovered something.
Then again, he did not go into the doctor’s office just now.
“W-What do you mean?” Rayna pretended to be composed and continued, “If you refuse to put me down, I’ll sue
you for sexual harassment!”
“I’m carrying the mother of my child. Who dares to sue me?”
Rayna stared at him in disbelief. “How did you find out? You didn’t…”
Curtis glanced at her in anger and frustration. “That’s why I feel that the IQ of our child shouldn’t take after you.
You are so stupid!”
Rayna was gobsmacked.
It took her a while before she regained her composure and decided not to argue with him. “So what if you know the
truth? Curtis, we broke up a long time ago. Why does it matter?”
“It matters because the child is mine,” said Curtis unhappily. “I will not allow my child to acknowledge another man
as his father!”
