Chapter 324
By then, the self–brewed wine and side dishes were almost sold out. There weren’t any customers in the
shop, so the cleaner was cleaning the glass cabinets.
Rayna approached the cleaner and voiced, “Mdm. White, where’s my mom?”
“Hi, Rayna!” Lorna White stood up and pointed toward the inside of the shop helplessly. “After I arrived
this morning, your mom wasn’t feeling well. I told her I could bring her to the hospital, but she didn’t want
to go. She said she would feel better after taking a rest. You should check on her. Things could get ugly if
she ends up getting sick.”
“Thank you”
Rayna rushed into the storage room and saw Linda sitting against the wall. Rayna quickly helped Linda
up and asked, “Mom, you look so pale. Why didn’t you go to the hospital?”
“I just have a headache. I’ll be all right after taking a rest.” Linda waved dismissively.
Rayna held Linda’s arms and realized how cold her limbs were. Her expression darkened immediately,
and she dragged Linda out of the storage room. “A headache? Your limbs are frozen! Come! I’m sending
you to the hospital!”
“That’s not necessary. It’s not anything serious…”
“By the time it becomes something serious, it would be too late! Stop talking now. Otherwise, I’m going to
have to scold you.” When Rayna and Linda were on their way out, Rayna told Lorna to lock up. After
that, Rayna and Linda left for the hospital.
In the car, Rayna called the specialist beforehand. Hence, Linda was able to get treated right when they
arrived at the hospital around ten minutes later.
The specialist gave Linda a check–up and found that she hadn’t had enough sleep, so she was weak.
The specialist gave her a prescription, and she would be fine.
Upon hearing that, Rayna breathed a sigh of relief.
While helping Linda out of the specialist’s office, Rayna uttered with a cold expression, “Mom, I gave you
the shop so that you can kill time. Stop working so hard, will you? You don’t need to worry about the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthree of us.”
Knowing that she was at fault for the matter, Linda uttered softly, “I just wanted to make some money to
help you guys out.”
“Roxanne is more than capable of supporting herself, so she doesn’t need your help. Also, I’m making
money on my own. If you don’t take care of your health, I’m going to close down the shop!” Rayna said.
“All right. Fine. I’ll take care of myself from now on.” Linda liked the shop a lot, so when she heard Rayna
was threatening to close it down, Linda dared not say another word to defend herself. “From now on, I’ll
make less food and rest in the afternoon. Are you happy now?”
Rayna’s expression eased up when she heard that
The two of them were taking the elevator to go downstairs. When the doors to the elevator opened, a
doctor and a few nurses were exiting the elevator.
The doctor walked past Rayna, but he suddenly halted in his tracks Upon turning his head to look at
Rayna, the doctor said, “Hey! Didn’t you send an unconscious female patient here the last time around?”
Rayna gazed at him for a while and found him familiar She only remembered who he was after a while. “I
Chapter 324
remember you! You’re Dr. Walker. Back then, I was the one who sent the unconscious patient here.”
I knew it! The doctor said, “It’s really you.”
“Do you need me for something?” Rayna asked.
“Yes. Wait here.”
The doctor told Rayna to wait before dashing toward his office.
Rayna was worried that Linda could get tired from standing, so she told Linda to find a seat downstairs
and wait for her.
Before Linda left, she was contemplating saying something to Rayna. Upon some hesitation, she leaned
toward Rayna and whispered, “Honey, Dr. Walker seems okay, but isn’t he in his thirties already? He’s
older than Curtis. Don’t promise him anything, okay? Besides, being a doctor is dangerous. I think Curtis
suits you better.”
Rayna was rather speechless upon hearing that. “That’s nonsense. The doctor isn’t making a move on
me.”
“What? Does he have a photographic memory? He sees countless patients every day, no? How could he
possibly remember you?”
“That’s enough. Go and sit in the lobby on the first floor.”
After getting rid of Linda, Rayna stood there and waited for a few minutes before she saw the doctor
rushing toward her with a box in his hands.
“This is something the patient left behind.” Kenny Walker passed the box to Rayna. “At that time, there
wasn’t a single contact person in the patient’s file. Hence, we couldn’t get in touch with you. I’ve been
keeping this box until now.”
Feeling conflicted, Rayna answered, “I don’t have her number. In fact, I don’t even know her well.”
“You don’t know her?” Kenny froze momentarily and glanced at the box in his hands. “What should I do,
then? This item is too valuable. If I keep it, I don’t think I can be responsible for it.”
“What did she leave behind?”
Kenny pulled Rayna to the side. Having ensured no one was around, he opened the box and said, “It’s a
necklace. The moment I saw that gemstone, I knew the necklace could easily be worth a fortune. Hence,
I got a box from the nurse to store it.”
Inside the box was a sapphire necklace. It looked exquisitely crafted, and the gemstone was sparkling
under the light.
Rayna was astounded when she saw the necklace. Why do I feel like I’ve seen this necklace and the
sapphire with such a high purity? Where have I seen this before?
After racking her brain for a bit, the sapphire ring suddenly came to Rayna’s mind. She quickly opened
her bag and took out the ring to put it side by side with the necklace.
The pieces of jewelry were of the same design, and they obviously came in a set.
“Your ring definitely came in a set with the necklace!” Kenny wasn’t pleased. “You guys are friends, right?
You’re messing with me!”
“T–The necklace…” Rayna’s hands were trembling as she stared at both pieces of jewelry. A realization
came to her mind, but she couldn’t believe it. Could this be a coincidence? Perhaps the woman’s

Chapter 324
necklace from an auction and gave it to her. Yes! Her husband, Kenneth, owns a famous company in Jetroina, no? However, when I accidentally took out the ring as I was talking to Sandy, she got emotional
when she saw the sapphire ring. Why was she so emotional?
Kenny didn’t notice the change of expression on Rayna’s face. Since he had things to attend to, he gave
the necklace to Rayna and said, “Since you guys are friends, you should return the necklace to her.”
Before leaving, Kenny remembered something, so he added, “By the way, I got the nurse to give that
woman an X–ray. We found a blood clot in her brain, and it’s damaging her nerves.”
Rayna’s pupils constricted. “A blood clot?”
“Yes. It’s a small one, but it’s damaging the nerves. That’s something serious. It could cause her to lose
her memories. In serious cases, it could even prove fatal. Please get her to undergo surgery as soon as
possible.”
With that, Kenny left in a hurry.
Rayna stood rooted to the spot for a long time, and the doctor’s words rang in her head repeatedly.
When she finally regained her senses, she rushed to the elevator because she wanted to question Linda.
Sandy went to Mom’s shop a few times, so she must’ve left her contact.
Rayna was feeling restless when she looked at the necklace. The moment the elevator doors opened,
she got out of there as fast as she could. Before she could reach Linda, her phone rang.
As she was sprinting forward, she picked up the phone. “What is it, James?”
“Rayna, I found something,” James answered.
Rayna froze in her tracks and asked softly, “What did you find?”
“Maybe I should go to you. It’s not something I should say over the phone.” James was hesitant to speak. In a solemn tone, he added, “I’ve just gotten back to Norwal City. Are you at the office?”
“No.”
Rayna pursed her lips. She was feeling anxious, and something in her told her not to question James
further. However, she couldn’t help it. “Talk. I’m listening.”
“Rayna, you should brace yourself.”
“Okay”
James kept silent for a few seconds before saying, “I’ve just received this information. I found out that
Xandra was once married to Boniel Terblanc from the Terblanc family in Yartran!”
