His Precious Love

“W-What?” Rayna gasped, so shocked that her voice turned hoarse.

Lips trembling, she took a while to regain her voice. “Why did he do such a thing? I-Is he dead?”

“When Mr. Xavier lost control of his emotions, Old Mr. Xavier berated him for how ungrateful he was for falling out with his parents over a woman. Mr. Faymon was right beside Mr. Xavier when it happened. He lunged forward at the sight of the gun, causing the bullet to go astray.”

Gabriel found it difficult to continue the story.

“By the time Mr. Xavier arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that his survival was entirely dependent on his will to live.”

His words gave Rayna a shock.

“H-He’s in a coma too… In that case, what about Carl…” Rayna’s voice was quivering. “He’s still waiting for Jasmine and Mr. Xavier to return. What am I going to say to him?”

“About that…” Gabriel let out a sigh before consoling Rayna. “We’ll keep it from him as long as we can. Mr. York has gone over with his best friend. I’m sure they will be fine.”

“You’re right. With his huge circle of friends, I’m certain Jeremy will think of something.” Rayna gradually calmed down.

Both Jasmine and Mr. Xavier are well taken care of. There’s no need for me to worry. Instead, there’s something else I need to do.

Rayna asked Gabriel calmly, “Did your boss tell you about this or…”

“Cillian did.” Gabriel elaborated, “He went over before the incident and is still there right now.”

“Get him to find out where Mrs. Xavier and Selena is.”

Cognizant of what Rayna was up to, Gabriel remarked hesitantly, “Ms. Garland, it would be better for you not to interfere. I’m sure you know how insidious Mrs. Xavier can be, and it would be terrible if she tried to harm you.”

Rayna threw the question back at him. “What do you expect me to do? Stand idly by and watch Selena bear the child while Mrs. Xavier relishes her victory?”

“Ms. Garland, aren’t you afraid?”

“Of course, I’m afraid, but so what?” Rayna continued in a grim tone. “If I don’t take action now, it’s just a matter of time before Mrs. Xavier and Mark join hands to attack me. Therefore, I’m helping myself by lending Jasmine a hand.”

Gabriel felt the need to dissuade her from it. “I think it’s better for you to leave the matter to Mr. Faymon—”
