Dear Sweetheart novel

“Please don’t blame yourself, Ms. Garland. I’m sure Curtis wouldn’t want to see you like this,” Jasmine

comforted when she saw how distraught and dejected Rayna was.

“I know. It’s just…” Rayna mumbled before her voice trailed off. Every time she recalled the sight of a

bloodied Curtis, she got so choked up that words failed her.

If Curtis hadn’t shielded me with his body, his legs wouldn’t have gotten crushed…

“I know Faymon Group has set up a new department, and Curtis transferred you there to be the new

manager,” Jasmine said smilingly. “That shows how much he trusts you. By the way, don’t you find it

odd that news of the accident was immediately reported after it occurred?”

Rayna narrowed her eyes at the thought of that.

Of course, I found it odd. I already felt something was off when the Faymon family rushed to the

hospital. After all, the road we were on didn’t have much traffic, and not everyone knew who Curtis

was. Even with Curtis being sent to the hospital and the police surveying the accident scene, news of

the crash should only be out in the morning at the earliest. Alas, we had barely stepped into the

hospital when we learned the accident had already been reported on television. I’m sure someone

must have orchestrated the accident, or they’re planning something even more sinister in secret…

Jasmine gently patted Rayna’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, Ms. Garland. Now that Curtis has me to take

care of him, I shall leave Faymon Group in your hands. Please don’t let him down.”

Despite feeling a wave of emotions inside her, Rayna nodded. “All right.”

Most of the Faymon family members have already found out about Curtis’ condition, and I’m sure the

news will make the morning headlines. I need to make the necessary preparations as soon as possible.

All of a sudden, Jasmine’s phone rang.

After glancing at the caller ID, she pursed her lips and excused herself to a corner to take the call.

“No, I can’t go back these few days. I have matters to take care of.”

“Okay. I’ll leave it to you.”

Since the two ladies weren’t very far apart, it wasn’t hard for Rayna to overhear Jasmine’s words. What

was surprising, though, was how Jasmine seemed to have intentionally spoken in a cold, unfeeling

tone. Her expression, however, remained mellow as always.

Before Rayna’s mind could wander any further, Jessica suddenly appeared and ran up to her. “Nana!

Are you okay?”

The latter looked her friend up and down and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she realized Rayna

only had bandages on her shoulder. “I was so worried about you when I heard from the news that the

car was totaled. It nearly scared me to death!”

Rayna chuckled. “Didn’t I tell you to stay in the waiting hall? Why have you come here?”

“Can you blame me for fretting over you? I asked the nurse where you were and rushed over

immediately,” Jessica replied as she glanced at Jasmine, who was still on the phone. “Hmm. She looks

familiar, doesn’t she?”

“That’s Mr. Faymon’s fiancée.”

Upon hearing that, Jessica slapped her forehead. “Oh, right! She’s the precious daughter of the

Sanders family. I’ve read about her in the papers! What’s she doing here, though? By the way, how’s

Mr. Faymon? Is he okay?”

Rayna’s gaze instantly darkened, but despite the overwhelming pain, she decided to tell Jessica

everything. Like her, the latter was so shocked that she was at a loss for words. However, just as she

was about to say something, Jasmine rejoined them.

“Ms. Sanders, I’d like to introduce you to my colleague, Jessica Marsh,” Rayna piped up.

Jasmine and Jessica quickly exchanged polite nods before the former added, “I was still worried about

letting you leave alone and wanted to send you home. But now that your friend is here to accompany

you, I can finally put my mind at ease.”

“In that case, I’ll leave Mr. Faymon to you.”

“No problem.”

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Jasmine returned to Curtis’ ward while Rayna and Jessica

left the hospital.

On their way home, Jessica finally blurted out what she had wanted to say earlier. “Don’t you think this

whole incident is odd? Mr. Faymon is the backbone of the Faymon Group, and news of his accident

would undoubtedly affect the company’s share prices. Shouldn’t the Faymon family have stopped the

report from getting published as soon as they learned about it? How did the accident still make it to the

news?”

“Well… Who do you think would benefit from the news getting leaked?”

Jessica frowned as she fiddled with her glasses. Within seconds, the realization dawned on her, and

she stared wide-eyed at Rayna.

Rayna merely nodded in acknowledgment.

“I’ve always thought something fishy was going on inside Faymon Group, but who knew…” Jessica

muttered. “Why don’t you take this chance to recuperate at home and avoid their family’s internal

conflict? You’ve already divorced Julian, so technically, their family matters are out of your hand.

Moreover, you aren’t a company shareholder. Why work yourself to death for them?”

“How can I not when Mr. Saunders, Mr. Grant, Ms. Sienna, and Brooklyn are all eyeing to take over the

company? Faymon Group will be done for if I don’t lend a helping hand.”
