Chapter 365

Rayna asked, “Why did I faint?”

Jefferson heard the hoarseness in her voice, and he felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a dagger. He carefully supported her up and poured her a glass of warm water. “The doctor said you fainted because you were stressed out and didn’t get enough rest.

“Let me do it myself.” After sitting up properly, Rayna took the glass and lowered her head to sip on the water.

Jefferson clenched his fists. He was not as nonchalant as he looked on the surface.

“What time is it now?”

Jefferson took the glass after Rayna finished drinking. “You slept the whole day. Are you feeling all right? Do you want me to get a nurse?”

Rayna shook her head and looked at him. “Your wounds…”

“Curtis didn’t hit any of my vital organs. I’m fine.” Jefferson moved his body to demonstrate to her that he was fine. He broke into a warm smile. “I can be discharged once scabs form on these wounds.”

When Rayna recalled Curtis‘ cold gaze back at the hotel, her heart trembled slightly.

“I’m sorry,” she said in an undertone.

Jefferson held her hand. “You don’t need to apologize to me. I’m glad I took the two shots. If you were the one who got hurt, I would have gone insane.”

When he sent the edited video to Curtis, he only wanted to jeopardize the relationship between them so that she would stay by his side. Neither Curtis‘ heartlessness nor Arnaud’s actions were something he had predicted.

Jefferson felt fortunate he had reacted fast enough when Rayna had tried to shield him.

He would have fought Curtis to the death if Rayna had been injured.

The more Jefferson thought about it, the more terrified he was. He clasped Rayna’s hand and said in his deep voice, “Belle, he tried to kill you by aiming at you. Such a man doesn’t deserve you.”

“I deserve it. He hates me now.” Rayna closed her eyes and continued in a raspy voice, “Kristie kept him and James in the dark and came to Frosa to find me, but I failed to protect her properly and let her get taken away”
