His Precious Love

When she arrived at Kristie’s door, she was struck by a dizzy spell that forced her to hold on to the wall for support. Only then did she manage to press the doorbell after much effort.

Soon, someone came to open the door.

“Rayna!” Kristie supported Rayna at once when she saw how pale the latter looked.

“I’m fine,” Rayna reassured her as both of them walked through the door.

Carl came up to her with a cup of warm water and a dejected look on his face. “I’m sorry, Ms. Rayna, for being of no help at all. I could only stand idly by and watch you get taken away by the police.”

Giving his hair a tousle, Rayna consoled him in a gentle tone, “Don’t think that way. Look, I’m fine now, am I not?”

She asked Kristie next, “What happened to Jessie?”

“She panicked upon learning of your arrest through the news. When I failed to get hold of Curt, she contacted Vivi instead, hoping to speak to her directly. I wanted to go with her, but she refused. After spending the entire day outside, she finally returned at night saying that Vivi had decided to withdraw the lawsuit.”

Rayna was jolted by the revelation as the truth became clear to her.

“And here I was wondering why Vivi withdrew the lawsuit. It turned out…” Bitterness began to fill Rayna’s heart.

She had assumed that it was Curtis who had helped her from the shadows, but it turned out to be Jessica.

After suppressing her turbulent emotions, Rayna asked anxiously, “Where is she now?”

“I have no idea.” Kristie shook her head. “The following day, her face drastically changed when she received a call. She left in such a hurry that she didn’t even change her shoes. When she finally returned in the evening, she looked terrible and was covered in blood. She handed me a phone and a ward number in General Hospital with the instructions to check in there every three days. After that, she left so quickly that neither myself nor Carl could stop her.”

Rayna caught her breath as panic began to set in. “When did this happen? Did she not come back ever since?”

“This was three days ago.”

“Did she not tell you where she was going?”
