Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 244 Especially Prepared

“It’s of no use to me,” replied Curtis with a mild yet bitter smile. “I appreciate that you’ve gone through the trouble.”

Wyatt sighed.

Trouble? I went through quite a bit to investigate this, but this is all it has amounted to.

After Wyatt left, Curtis was left alone in this massive office. He hung his head low, thinking about something quite intently. After a while, he opened the drawer and pulled out the photographs from inside the book.

In the past, he had been thinking about what it was going to be like if they met. After much investigation into his past, he gradually grew more despondent before finally giving up. Now, this information had landed right in his lap, unannounced.

These people were long gone.

Curtis looked at the couple in the photograph. A bitter smirk tugged on his lips as he mumbled, “Perhaps it’s for the best.”

Now, he no longer had to mope around thinking about this.

Suddenly, Curtis’ phone vibrated twice.

Rayna had sent him a message, saying: Mr. Faymon, see you at eight this evening. I’d like to treat you to dinner.

When Rayna arrived at the company, she received a call from the hospital inquiring about her ties to Linda.

Immediately, Rayna rushed over to the hospital. She then arrived at the ward and saw Linda lying on the hospital bed with bandages around her hands and legs. The doctor informed her that Linda had fallen down the stairs, resulting in multiple fractures. She thus needed to stay at the hospital for some time.

After waving the doctor away, Rayna hurriedly crouched next to the bed and asked, “What happened? How did you take such a massive tumble?”

“I was not careful. However, it felt like someone pushed me,” replied Linda weakly. “I wanted to carry some books upstairs, but I was looking down when someone gave me a shove from behind.”

Rayna’s expression turned very solemn. “Did you manage to catch a glimpse of this person?”

“No.”

Rayna knew that her mother was not a liar. Thinking that someone had likely attempted to take her mother’s life, Rayna could feel a shiver go down her spine. After entrusting her mother’s care to a nurse, Rayna made her way to the library at Linda’s workplace.
