Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 517

Here, Curtis let out a deep sigh. “But when I calmed down, I realized Theodore’s not wrong. The person he loved was knocked over by someone his biological mother employed. And now, Jasmine’s still unconscious in the hospital. It’s only right that he wanted to seek justice for his lover.

“That’s why I hurried over when I returned to the country and found out you had brought Selena to the hospital. I feared Mrs. Xavier would do something to you, and that you’d end up in a worse state than Jasmine.”

“What are you going to do about Carl, then?” Rayna finally spoke. “How are you going to tell him about his parents and the fact that another woman’s pregnant with his father’s child?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. The doctor assigned to Selena is arranged by Jeremy. The child won’t be born into this world,” Curtis said.

A wave of relief washed over Rayna.

She had been constantly worried about that matter, but she could not find a solution for it.

However, a grim look returned to Rayna’s face almost instantly as she pushed Curtis away. “You’re done talking, right? Move aside, then. I want to go out.”

“Rayna, do you still not understand after everything I’ve said?” Curtis remained standing in front of the door, showing no signs of wanting to let her leave. “Don’t you know what’s in my mind?”

To his dismay, Rayna said calmly, “I don’t want to. All I know is that I’m getting married today, and my husband’s surname is Hamilton.”

Her words infuriated Curtis. He grabbed her hand and pinned her against the door. “Rayna, can’t you talk to me properly? Must you really make me angry?”

“I am calm, and I know what I’m saying.” Rayna turned her face away to avoid looking at him. “That’s your friend. It’s only right that you’re so worried. You don’t have to explain the situation to a stranger like me.”

“Rayna”—Curtis’ tone turned grim—“Look at me.”
