His Precious Love

Chapter 228 A Lowly Employee

“What happened?” Rayna’s heart clenched. “Could it be that Ms. Goath has tried to end her life?”

“That’s not it. My father fell unconscious and was sent to the hospital.”

“I’ll go with you.” Alfred was quite nice to her, so she felt bad that something terrible befell him. “Is he at the General Hospital?” she asked, pulling Curtis into the taxi.

“Yeah.”

Alfred’s private ward at the inpatient department of the hospital coincidentally faced the main road. As he was peeling some oranges, he was delighted to see Rayna and Curtis getting out of a taxi together.

“Curtis sure did a good job bringing Rayna along.” The elderly man hurried back into the bed while urging Gabriel, “Quick, get the doctor. Make it so that they think I’m in a serious condition. It would be best if they think I’m clinging to life.”

Gabriel’s lips twitched. “Old Mr. Faymon, isn’t this going overboard? What if—”

“Why are you so garrulous?” Alfred was irritated. “Don’t drag my son down with you just because you can’t find a girlfriend for yourself!”

“But that still doesn’t justify lying to Ms. Garland,” Gabriel insisted. “Haven’t Mr. Faymon done enough of that?”

Alfred retorted, “Don’t compare me to him! Besides, it’s true that I’m feeling unwell. Hold on, who are you even siding with, Gabriel? Are you a spy?”

“This isn’t what I meant, Old Mr. Faymon—”

Although Gabriel tried to explain himself, Alfred cut him short impatiently. “Go get the doctor. I shouldn’t waste my breath on you, seeing that you don’t even have a girlfriend.”

The younger man was at a loss for words.

Thus, he could only leave the ward in miserable silence.

Not only was I unappreciated after giving Faymon Group my all, but Old Mr. Faymon also condemned me! This is so unfair!

When Curtis and Rayna arrived at the ward, Gabriel and the doctor were already standing by the hospital bed. The doctor was giving Alfred a checkup with a solemn expression on his face.

“Mr. Faymon, Ms. Garland,” Gabriel greeted the two of them. His hesitant look and Alfred’s appearance made Rayna’s heart sink.
