Chapter 636
“I can walk by myself.” Rayna was still holding Curtis' neck as she nestled in his embrace.
Upon hearing that, Curtis gently rubbed his chin on her forehead. “I'll carry you.”
Once the group disembarked the plane at a private airport, they entered their respective vehicles and left.
When Curtis carried Rayna into the car, a faint floral fragrance entered her nose. She found the scent familiar, but
she couldn't recall exactly what flower the smell belonged to.
“It's so fragrant,” she remarked softly in his embrace.
“It's camellia, your favorite,” he informed tenderly as he brushed the strands of hair on her forehead aside.
“Camellia...” As Rayna muttered, images of white flowers flashed past her mind, which gave her a headache. “It
hurts...”
Sitting on Curtis' lap, she felt as though a ball of fire was burning in her brain as more images poured into her mind.
“What's the matter, Rayna?” When he saw her hugging her head and exclaiming she was in pain repeatedly, he
turned to the driver and ordered, “Go to the hospital now!”
“It hurts...” Paling, she leaned against him while occasionally swinging her legs. “My head hurts so much...”
“Just hold on for a little longer, Rayna. We're about to reach the hospital.” As Curtis hugged her, his heart ached
when he saw the anguish on her pale countenance.
Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the hospital. The moment its movement halted, he opened the door and
brought Rayna into the hospital.
The hospital they visited belonged to Faymon Group. Therefore, when the doctors and nurses saw them, they
immediately approached the duo, settled Rayna on a bed, and pushed her into a ward.
Then, the doctors examined her body in detail.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, Curtis stayed by her side throughout the whole process.
Half an hour later, a doctor described Rayna's condition to Curtis while holding an x-ray film.
After listening to the explanation, Curtis inquired, “If the blood clot stays in her brain and doesn't dissipate, will it
undergo pathological changes?”
The doctor nodded. “Usually, blood clots will vanish on their own after some time. So, you don't need to worry too
much about her, Mr. Faymon.”
While the visible worry on Curtis' countenance faded when he heard that, he still had concerns about her condition
in his mind.
Rayna was lying quietly on the bed with tightly shut eyes.
As he stood next to the bed and look at her, a sense of unease and panic abruptly swelled in his heart.
He was afraid she would stop waking up at any moment.
Then, as Curtis carried her out of the room, Robin grabbed the IV drip connected to her and followed his employer.
Curtis didn't want her to spend more time at the hospital because she was kidnapped from her ward more than a
month ago.
Thus, he didn't want to risk letting the same thing happen twice.
...
After the car reached the Faymon residence, Curtis carried Rayna out of the vehicle. Upon hearing his arrival,
Alfred and Linda hastily left the living room. When Linda saw Rayna in Curtis' arms, her eyes went red.
Jasmine stood next to the older woman and patted her back to calm her down.
Meanwhile, Roxanne, who also arrived early at the Faymon residence, became at ease when she saw Rayna was
brought back safely by Curtis.
“The babies are asleep.” Holding his cane, Alfred stood at the entrance and faced Curtis. “What's going on with
Rayna?”
As an old man, he naturally saw many things before in his life. Hence, he had a feeling something was wrong when
Curtis brought Rayna out of the vehicle with unease.
The old man frowned when his line of sight landed on Rayna's pale face.
As Curtis brought Rayna upstairs, Alfred followed behind. It wasn't until Curtis gently settled Rayna on the bed and
put a blanket on her did he speak. “It's a sequela of her accident. The doctor said there are still blood clots in her
brain when we went to the hospital earlier.”
“Mhm.” The old man nodded. Just as he was about to leave, his expression shifted drastically because he saw a red
dot on Rayna's left wrist from the corner of his eye.
Curtis was prepared to tuck her left hand under the blanket when he also noticed the red dot on her wrist. He tried
brushing the dot away with his finger, but it was no use.
Upon turning his line of sight to Alfred, he saw the shock in the old man's eyes.
“Grandpa?” He had a bad feeling the moment he noticed his grandfather was gazing at the red dot intensely.
Promptly, Alfred spat, “That's a parasite!”
“A parasite?” Curtis was stunned with disbelief. Did I hear that right? This is the twenty-first century. There's no way
something evil and magical like that still exists today.
He never believed in anything supernatural or mystical. Naturally, his first instinct was to brush aside what his
grandfather said. From his perspective, it was just a legend crafted by someone with ulterior motives.
To his surprise, Alfred explained firmly, “It's a parasite. In Chanaea, a place called Feston has more than a century-
long history of cultivating parasites.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Is what you're saying true, Grandpa?” Curtis wondered. So, there's a parasite in Rayna's body right now? This is
the most ridiculous thing that has ever happened in my life! First, my wife was kidnapped for no reason from a
hospital. Then, when I brought her back, I found out she had lost her memories and eyesight. Now, my grandfather
is telling me it's very likely someone has injected a parasite into her body!
In response, Alfred nodded and gazed at his grandson with worry. “The parasite in her body hasn't been woken up
yet.”
Upon hearing that, Curtis asked with a cold expression, “How long will it take before it wakes up?”
“It depends on the person who planted it in her body,” Alfred informed in a deep voice. “Well, I've no idea why that
person did this to Rayna.” Is it because they want to control Rayna? Or is it because of something else?
“In any case, there are a million different kinds of parasites in existence. If we want to treat her, we must first know
what type of parasite is in her body.” He then reminded him, “That said, Faymon Group's real estate project in
Yartran is still facing problems. What are you going to do?” I feel so bad for Curtis. How is he going to balance his
work and family issues?
Swiftly, Curtis inquired, “Where is Feston located? If I want to treat her, can I just get someone to find out how
parasite works?”
The old man nodded. “That should be the case. However, there's a special type of parasite that's cultivated by
feeding on blood. If that is the parasite in Rayna's body, then only the owner of the parasite can cure her. Her life
will be in danger if others try to remove the parasite from her body by force.”
The reason he knew about parasites was that he loved to travel around the world when he was younger. He did that
for three or four years before he returned and settled down in Norwal City.
Initially, he didn't believe in parasites, too. If he didn't see one with his own eyes by chance when he was younger,
he wouldn't have known a parasite was planted into Rayna's arm.
