Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 44 Almost Crippled

Upon their arrival at the hospital, the part where Rayna was hit in the leg was already swollen badly. Even the doctor who came over to examine her was shocked.

“What happened?”

“She was hit by a golf ball.” Curtis loosened his tie. Despite having his shirt wrinkled from Rayna’s grip, he looked just as distinguished as ever. With a grim expression, he remarked, “Please take a look at her.”

While examining the wound, the doctor asked Rayna about it before applying a cold spray to it. No sooner had the cold mist come in contact with the wound than Rayna shivered in reflex.

“Luckily, the force wasn’t that great. Otherwise, your leg would have been crippled,” the doctor commented as he typed out the prescription on his computer. “You should stay here for two days for observation. Once you’re better, we can take another X-ray of it.”

Curtis’ brows furrowed at the doctor’s words. “All right. Thank you.”

Once they were done, Curtis attempted to carry Rayna out of the consultation room. However, the awkward Rayna pushed his hand away by reflex. “Mr. Faymon, it’s fine. I can walk by myself.”

It’s embarrassing for him to carry me around all the time.

Curtis looked at her leg with a frown. “Are you sure?”

“I should be able to.” Rayna curled up her injured leg and tried hopping on her good leg. However, she lost her balance but was quickly caught by Curtis.

As Curtis bent over to pick her up, the momentary sense of falling caused her to hug his neck reflexively. Rayna, noticing the spot on his shirt that was still wet from her tears, couldn’t help but blush.

She had tried hard to resist crying earlier but was just overwhelmed by the pain.

With both of them in close proximity despite her efforts to avoid him, the sound of his steady heartbeat echoed in her ear, while the alluring and mature scent of his cologne filled her nostrils.

In the midst of her fantasies, she had already been carried into the ward and placed on the bed.
