Chapter 641
With a darkened face, Curtis uttered, “I'm afraid it's already too late. The parasite has already awakened.”
“Well, can't we make it go back to sleep?” Scenes from various movies flashed through Theodore's mind. “Maybe
we can try and develop a kind of drug that will put the parasite to sleep temporarily to give us more time.”
“But we have no experience in this!” James still felt a little uneasy about the whole thing. Besides, even if we
successfully develop it, we'll still need to inject it into Rayna's body. What if something goes wrong?
Theodore fell silent and started pacing around the room. “I can get someone I know from the medical department
who can help.”
Meanwhile, at Dupont Medical University, Norwal City, Simone's roommate opened the door, only to have her nose
assaulted by a weird smell. What she saw next was Simone squatting on the balcony messing around with a plant.
“Simone Miles! What the h*ll are you doing? It stinks in here!” she demanded.
Simone's roommate walked over and noticed that the plant looked very much like a bug. “What is this? Is it a
caterpillar fungus?”
“No, but you're close.” Simone carefully took off the top part of the plant with the tweezers in her hand before
putting it in a glass bottle. Now that the plant was missing a part, green liquid started oozing out of it. Goosebumps
crawled all over the skin of Simone's roommate when she saw that.
Nonetheless, after living together with Simone for three and a half years, her roommate had already gotten used to
the woman's weird behavior. “Don't you think it's a waste of time for you—a medical student—to be messing
around with strange kinds of stuff like this? It's almost like you're practicing witchcraft. Anyway, it won't be long till
we have to go our separate ways.”
“Yeah, you're right. Time sure flies by, huh?” Simone wrapped the glass bottle and put it in her drawer before
locking it up. “Once I get my graduation certificate, I'll be free to do what I want.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn truth, she was never interested in studying medicine in the first place. If it weren't for the fact that she was born
into a prestigious family with a medical background, she wouldn't have chosen to attend a medical university.
As she tidied up the table, Simone's sight fell on an old book. After picking it up, she asked her roommate, “Grace,
do you think it's possible for a technique that can manipulate a human to exist?”
“Maybe, who knows? After all, there are still a lot of things in this world that can't be explained with science.”
Simone's roommate, Grace Caddel had a neutral standpoint when it came to things she wasn't sure of, neither
confirming nor denying it.
“I suppose you're right.” Simone took out a small leaf from one of the pages. The leaf had long since dried up, and
the veins on it were clearly visible.
Noticing the leaf, Grace's curiosity was piqued, and she reached out to grab it. Alas, Simone dodged her and placed
the leaf back in the book before glancing at her. “Don't touch it.”
“Okay, okay. I won't...” Grace snorted, turned around, and walked into the restroom.
Just as Rayna was getting up from the couch with the help of her cane, the butler happened to pass by and came
over to lend her a hand. “Mrs. Faymon, are you heading out?”
“I was thinking of going to the courtyard for a walk. Just carry on with your chores. Don't mind me.” Rayna merely
wanted to take a stroll to help with digestion.
“Do be careful, then.” Although the butler agreed to her request without hesitation, he still gave the housekeeper
who was standing at the side a look and motioned the latter to follow after Rayna.
When Rayna walked into the courtyard, a young man's voice sounded behind her. “Ms. Garland.”
At the same time, the voices of several security guards rang out as well. “Mister, this isn't a place where you can
just waltz in here.”
Hearing all the commotion, Rayna turned around and asked, “Who is it?”
“Mrs. Faymon, this guy claims that he's from Happy Entertainment and forced his way in to see you.” One of the
security guards glared at the young man as he spoke.
Mr. Faymon has already instructed us that no one is allowed to enter the Faymon residence unless it is someone
that has gotten approval beforehand. Despite that, this young man had driven all the way here and waited outside
the Faymon residence since early morning. When we asked him to leave, he drove off, only to sneak back in by
walking through the tree-lined path before jumping over the fence and into the Faymon residence's compound.
“Happy Entertainment?” Rayna repeated, and after a moment, she recalled that Curtis had told her that she owned
a company with the same name.
“Are you one of Happy Entertainment's artists?” Curtis had also told her what the main business of Happy
Entertainment was.
He said he's from Happy Entertainment, but since he had the gall to sneak in here, I doubt he's my assistant. As
such, he must be one of the artists signed under the company.
“Yes,” came the young man's reply.
“You're here looking for me?” Although Rayna had already guessed that the young man was here for her, she still
wanted to confirm her suspicion.
The young man walked over and stopped in front of Rayna before saying, “Ms. Garland, it's me, Chandler.”
“So, why are you here?” Aware of the approaching masculine scent, Rayna couldn't help but frown before taking
two steps back subconsciously, trying to create some distance between them.
“I'm... here to see you...” As he spoke, Chandler tried to take another step forward.
Tightening her grip on her cane, Rayna was about to say something when the housekeeper beside her uttered,
“Mrs. Faymon, Mr. Faymon's back.”
At that, a royal blue Maserati pulled into the compound and slowed to a halt.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSubsequently, a man dressed in a black suit came striding out of the car.
Standing rooted to the spot, Rayna focused on listening to the man's footsteps until a pair of warm hands held onto
her. As the familiar scent of the man enveloped her, a sense of security surged within her heart. “Curtis.”
“I'm here.” Wrapping his arms around her, Curtis frowned slightly when he saw her bare arms. He then took off his
coat before draping it over Rayna. “It's so cold today. Why aren't you wearing more clothes?”
Norwal City had experienced a heavy downpour the night before. Although the sun was shining brightly now, the
temperature outside was still rather low.
“I was in the house earlier and didn't feel cold.” The air conditioner was turned on in the house and the
temperature was adjusted just right. As such, it was only normal that Rayna didn't notice how cold it was outside.
Hearing that, Curtis raised his head and shot a sharp glare at the housekeeper standing beside Rayna before
training his gaze on the security guards.
“Mr. Vardy, may I know what's the purpose of you coming to the Faymon residence?” Curtis swept his dark and
vicious gaze toward Curtis, his tone cold.
“Well, I'm just here to visit Ms. Garland, Mr. Faymon.” Seemingly fearless, Chandler had no qualms about meeting
Curtis' eyes before turning his gaze to Rayna. “Ms. Garland, I overheard someone in the company saying that you
fell ill a few days ago, so I decided to pay you a visit.”
“I'm fine. Thank you for your concern,” came Rayna's polite and curt reply. She then added, “Chandler, there are
rules when it comes to entering and leaving the Faymon residence. As such, I hope you won't do something like this
again in the future.”
With that, she tugged on Curtis' arm and said, “Won't you accompany me for a walk?”
“Sure,” Curtis agreed before turning around with his arm still wrapped around Rayna.
Meanwhile, Chandler stayed rooted to the spot as he stared at the couple's departing figures, the gentle look in his
eyes gradually turning sharper and darker.
Seeing this, the security guard came forward to lead Chandler out of the Faymon residence. “This way please, Mr.
Vardy.”
