Dear Sweetheart Chapter 37 The Unexpected Explosion
“Thanks.”
They then got downstairs together and headed toward the open-air parking lot. Just when they were
about to step into the parking lot, a black Bentley near them exploded all of a sudden.
Curtis instantly leaped forward and protected Rayna from the blast.
Since he was wearing only a thin white shirt, a shard of glass pierced his arm. He could not help but
groan in pain when blood began to gush from his wound.
Rayna realized Curtis was injured when she felt the warm liquid on his arm. Her face turned pallid
instantly. “Mr. Faymon…”
“I’m fine.” Curtis pulled her up and examined her. “Are you injured?”
Rayna shook her head.
Despite the explosion, the Bentley was not caught on fire, so it did not affect the cars around it.
Nonetheless, a waiter still ran over after hearing the loud noise.
Curtis explained to the waiter about what happened.
The waiter promised to investigate the matter and update Curtis about it, but since the manor did not
have a medical kit, the waiter could only temporarily bandage his wound. He then arranged for a driver to
take Curtis and Rayna to the hospital.
Jefferson walked out from behind the pillar and looked at the people who were conversing in the parking
lot before turning his attention to the exploded Bentley. He pursed his lips as his expression turned grim.
“Sir.” Ringo, too, walked out from a hidden corner.
“I wonder if she’ll end up like that Bentley had she gotten into it?” Jefferson pressed his hand against the
pillar and glared at the remnants from the explosion.
Suddenly, he punched the pillar and gritted his teeth as he said, “How dare he do this? How dare he
touch my woman?”
“Don’t worry, Sir. Mr. Terblanc doesn’t know much about it,” Ringo said. “He probably felt that this
occasion was the perfect opportunity to claim someone’s life. I believe he’s only targeting you.”
He added, “Mr. Terblanc believed what he saw. And all these years, you only had Dorothy by your side.
You’ve not done anything that would arouse his suspicion.”
Jefferson let out a cold snort and spoke disdainfully. “You have no idea how suspicious the man is!
Anything can trigger him easily! Did he really think he can keep me in the dark when he sent a Jetroinian
to me?”
“So what should we do now, Sir?”
“Call Dorothy and ask her to come over.” Jefferson clenched his fists as he watched Rayna leave the
manor in another car. “Give her a new identity and place her in Faymon Group.”
Ringo could not help but ask, “Is that appropriate? Ms. Garland is working in Faymon Group as an
interpreter, though.”
“The most dangerous place is also the safest,” Jefferson said, “Calbert wants to know what I’m doing,
right? I’ll show him. Besides, I need someone to keep an eye on Curtis.”
He had never thought of going head-on with Curtis because he knew it wouldn’t end well for both of
them. But Rayna is mine. I might have distanced myself from her due to some reasons, but that doesn’t
mean someone else can take advantage of her!
Meanwhile, Curtis and Rayna soon arrived at the hospital.
Rayna decided to accompany Curtis. After all, he got injured for trying to protect her from the explosion.
She could not help but shudder upon seeing how terrible the wound on his arm was. He must be in a lot
of pain. I owe him a huge favor this time.
Once the doctor cleared and bandaged the wound, Rayna told Curtis to sit and rest before she headed
downstairs to collect his medicines at the dispensary. When she returned a few minutes later, the man
had fallen asleep on the chair with his head tilted.
Upon noticing the exhaustion on Curtis’ face and the dark circles under his eyes, Rayna walked over
quietly. He must be exhausted.
After pursing her lips, she removed her coat and gently placed it on the man.
Suddenly, Curtis frowned as he slowly started breaking out in a cold sweat. His breathing had also
become irregular, as if he had breathing difficulties.
“U-Uncle Curtis?” Panicking, Rayna patted his shoulder. “Are you all right?”
Curtis, who continued to sweat profusely, gripped her wrist to stop her from pulling it away. His grip was
so tight that the ashen-faced Rayna gasped in pain.
“Uncle Curtis, please let go of my hand.” She thought her wrist was about to snap. While trying to break
free from his clutch, Rayna could not help but notice the muscular chest beneath his drenched shirt.
Her heart started pounding rapidly, and her ears turned red.
She immediately looked away. Is Uncle Curtis having a nightmare?
Worried that he might be in discomfort, she wanted to call the doctor to check on him. That was when
Curtis began to loosen his grip. Thus, she quickly retracted her hand and massaged it when the man had
seemingly returned to normal.
Rayna cautiously called him, “Mr. Faymon?”
Curtis gradually opened his eyes, tilted his head, and glanced at her. “Did I fall asleep?”
Rayna chuckled in her heart. Not only did you fall asleep, but you also nearly broke my wrist!
Meanwhile, Gabriel rushed over to the hospital when he received news about the explosion. He was so
thoughtful that he even brought Rayna a set of clean clothes. “You can change into these since your
gown is dirty, Ms. Garland.”
“Thank you.” After glancing at her wet gown, Rayna took over the clothes from Gabriel and darted to the
restroom. I should get changed.
Gabriel then sent Rayna back to Cerulean Bay. Before alighting from the car, she expressed her
gratitude to Curtis again. “Thank you, Uncle Curtis. I’ll cover all your medical expenses.”
Curtis flashed her a faint smile. “No worries, it’s just a small sum.”
After leaving Cerulean Bay, Curtis’ expression turned grim. He asked Gabriel, “Have you investigated the
people at the manor?”
“Yes. The car exploded on its own. I don’t think it’s anyone’s doing.”
“Who owns the Bentley?” Curtis asked.
Gabriel replied, “Jefferson.”
Curtis scoffed. “If that’s his Bentley, I’m pretty sure someone orchestrated the explosion. Someone must

have done something to his car. It just so happened that Rayna and I passed by it and ended up getting
affected.”
Gabriel raised his doubt in confusion. “But he wouldn’t have made any rivals here because all his
businesses are in Epea. Based on my findings, he didn’t even establish a single company in Hawen or
Jetroina.”
“It could be someone from Epea who wanted to finish him off here,” Curtis said with a smirk. “After all, if
something bad happened to Jefferson in another country, no one would suspect them to be behind it.”
After giving it some thought, Curtis said to Gabriel, “Jefferson came here to look for Rayna. Find
someone to keep an eye on him. I don’t want that guy to take advantage of her.”
“I’ll see to it,” Gabriel replied.
Curtis did not report for duty at office in the next two days.
Rayna was worried that the wound had taken a toll on him but dared not ask him directly. Instead, she
told Linda to make a pot of sweet soup so that she could bring it to the office, hand it to Gabriel, and ask
him about Curtis’ condition.
Gabriel replied, “Don’t worry, Ms. Garland. Mr. Faymon is recuperating well.”
“Is there anything I can do to help? Like meeting his clients for him or what.” Rayna felt bad. “I can cook
for him too. I’m quite a good cook.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I learned cooking from my mom.”
Gabriel thought about it and agreed to her suggestions since he was planning to hire a part-time
caretaker to look after Curtis anyway.
After completing all her tasks at work, Rayna left with Gabriel and departed to Curtis’ residence. During
their journey there, she asked Gabriel about Kristie and was relieved to learn that the latter was not
staying with Curtis.
Kristie had always viewed Rayna as her arch-enemy, and the latter could tell how Kristie wished to skin
her alive. I better stay away from her.
Curtis was staying somewhere near Cerulean Bay. His mansion was a quiet standalone building in the
residential area.
He raised his brows in surprise when he opened the door and saw Rayna standing next to Gabriel.
