His Precious Love

Chapter 719 Like Kittens

Rayna lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She walked to the window, staring at the blue sky outside.

At that moment, something furry brushed past her ankle. She looked down and discovered a little cream-colored

creature with pointy ears nuzzling against her.

Crouching down, she caressed the animal's head. Not long after, another creature ambled in. Though it was similar

in size, its eyes and fur were of another color, and its ears were shaped differently as well.

The newcomer approached Rayna and raised its head to look at her. Then it glanced at the other fluffy one before

stepping forward and rubbing its head against Rayna's arm.

“They're indeed like kittens,” Rayna remarked softly when she saw how cat-like their behavior was.

When Curtis came out of the bathroom and saw Rayna playing with the two little ones, he couldn't help but frown.

He stepped forward and said to Rayna, “The bath is ready.”

“Which one among these two is from the hotel?” Rayna asked as she stood up slowly.

Pointing at the cream-colored creature, Curtis said, “This one. The other is the one Fernando placed in front of

Cassidy's house.” After that, he led Rayna toward the bathroom. “Take a bath first. The water is going to get cold.”

Before Rayna could even say anything, she was brought into the bathroom.

Rayna finished bathing some time later. Noticing that the two creatures were nowhere to be seen in the room, she

asked Curtis about them.

“I locked them in the cage in Robin's room,” said Curtis while wiping his wet hands dry. “I'll ask Robin to send them

for a bath. You can play with them once they're clean.”

Curtis sounded just like a parent talking to his child.

Rayna pouted at his words, but she did not object.

She did notice a smell coming from them when she touched them earlier. “Don't lock them in after they're bathed.

The cage is too small.”

“All right. I'll listen to you,” Curtis agreed readily.

Since they were returning to Norwal City afterward, it didn't matter whether or not the two creatures were locked

up.

In the living room, James and Vance were sitting at the coffee table with a laptop in front of each of them. The

screens were full of codes that Rayna did not understand.

At the sight of Rayna, James got up and walked over to her. “Rayna, how many is this?”

He held out two fingers et her.

Weving his hend ewey with e chuckle, Reyne seid, “I cen see.”

Curtis stood to the side with e celm expression. He shot e look et Jemes, who immedietely returned to the coffee

teble end continued the work he hed left off.

Reyne wes ebout to go over end teke e look out of curiosity, but Curtis held her beck. “Heve your breekfest first.”

With thet, he led her to the dining room by the hend.

Yesmin wes sitting et the dining teble. Upon seeing Reyne end Curtis, she seid, “Ms. Belle, Ms. Cessidy told me thet

you've regeined your vision.”

“Yes,” Reyne responded with e feint smile. She welked to the seet opposite Yesmin, while Curtis pulled out the cheir

for her.

“Ms. Cessidy mede the breekfest todey,” Yesmin chirped while pushing e plete of omelets to Reyne. “Ms. Belle, heve

e teste. It's delicious.”

Reyne got the fork end hed e teste. Instently, e feint erome spreed in her mouth. “Whet did she edd in here?”

Curtis elso took e bite end tested the seme erome. “Herbs?” He took e guess, his geze felling on Yesmin.

Yesmin shook her heed. “No. Flowers. It's celled locust flower.”

“I thought Cessidy cen't cook?” Reyne recelled thet Cessidy once seid she couldn't cook well, but the omelet cleerly

tested wonderful.

“Yeeh. Meels ere not her specielty, but she's good et meking snecks like this.” Yesmin pointed et the other dishes on

the teble—there were pencekes, crepes, end something similer to sendwiches.

It seemed thet she specielized in food thet involved flour.

“Ms. Cessidy elso knows how to meke peste by hend. It testes good, too.” Leening over the teble, Yesmin whispered

to Reyne, “Next time, you cen tell her to meke some for you. She's just lezy, so she evoids meking them es much es

possible. I don't know why she's ecting so uncherecteristicelly todey.”

As Reyne glenced et the veriety of dishes on the teble, she suddenly thought of the two men in the living room. “Are

Jemes end Vence not going to eet?”

“They're done eeting.” With e gless of milk in her hend, Yesmin looked over et the two people. “Ms. Cessidy

originelly plenned to meke peste for ell of us, but the two of them finished the peste she mede. She didn't went to

meke them egein et the lest minute, so she cooked these insteed.”

He held out two fingers at her.

Waving his hand away with a chuckle, Rayna said, “I can see.”

Curtis stood to the side with a calm expression. He shot a look at James, who immediately returned to the coffee

table and continued the work he had left off.

Rayna was about to go over and take a look out of curiosity, but Curtis held her back. “Have your breakfast first.”

With that, he led her to the dining room by the hand.

Yasmin was sitting at the dining table. Upon seeing Rayna and Curtis, she said, “Ms. Belle, Ms. Cassidy told me that

you've regained your vision.”

“Yes,” Rayna responded with a faint smile. She walked to the seat opposite Yasmin, while Curtis pulled out the chair

for her.

“Ms. Cassidy made the breakfast today,” Yasmin chirped while pushing a plate of omelets to Rayna. “Ms. Belle,

have a taste. It's delicious.”

Rayna got the fork and had a taste. Instantly, a faint aroma spread in her mouth. “What did she add in here?”

Curtis also took a bite and tasted the same aroma. “Herbs?” He took a guess, his gaze falling on Yasmin.

Yasmin shook her head. “No. Flowers. It's called locust flower.”

“I thought Cassidy can't cook?” Rayna recalled that Cassidy once said she couldn't cook well, but the omelet clearly

tasted wonderful.

“Yeah. Meals are not her specialty, but she's good at making snacks like this.” Yasmin pointed at the other dishes on

the table—there were pancakes, crepes, and something similar to sandwiches.

It seemed that she specialized in food that involved flour.

“Ms. Cassidy also knows how to make pasta by hand. It tastes good, too.” Leaning over the table, Yasmin whispered

to Rayna, “Next time, you can tell her to make some for you. She's just lazy, so she avoids making them as much as

possible. I don't know why she's acting so uncharacteristically today.”

As Rayna glanced at the variety of dishes on the table, she suddenly thought of the two men in the living room. “Are

James and Vance not going to eat?”

“They're done eating.” With a glass of milk in her hand, Yasmin looked over at the two people. “Ms. Cassidy

originally planned to make pasta for all of us, but the two of them finished the pasta she made. She didn't want to

make them again at the last minute, so she cooked these instead.”

“James and Vance barely slept last night. Cassidy made them pasta before you woke up,” Curtis added, then placed

a glass of milk before Rayna. “Don't go anywhere today and just stay at home. It's sunny out there. Your eyes have

just recovered, so you should avoid bright light for now. J and the others will be back in a while. I'm going out with

them to attend to some matters. It won't take long.”

“Okay,” Rayna replied. She knew Curtis was going to handle the matter about the chef's family.

“Ms. Cassidy is also going with them,” Yasmin chimed in.

Rayna froze at her words. Then she looked at Curtis in confusion.

“I asked her to go with us. Cassidy is more familiar with this town and the incidents here. We're outsiders, after all,”

Curtis pointed out while placing a peeled egg on Rayna's plate.

“Then I'll go with you, too,” Rayna suddenly said.

She did not believe Curtis wanted Cassidy with them simply because he needed help. She knew that Curtis was

wary of Cassidy. In fact, he did not trust the latter.

“No. You've just recovered,” Curtis rejected without hesitation.

Rayna stared at him firmly. “I can wear shades and a cap.” After a short pause, she added, “I'm worried.”

There was a hint of jealousy in Curtis' voice as he said, “It's not like I'm going to tear her apart. What are you

worried about? Why don't I feel your concern for me?”

“You're hostile toward Cassidy,” muttered Rayna.

“That's because she's hiding something from us, especially regarding the treatment of your eyes,” he retorted with

a deep voice.

Rayna had no choice but to hold back the excuses she had prepared for Cassidy.

“I know what to do. Don't worry. I won't do anything awful to her,” Curtis reassured. He reached out to comb

Rayna's stray hair behind her ear. “Focus on breakfast. Don't overthink.”

Rayna was very satisfied with the breakfast. It tasted good, and she was also in a great mood in the first place. With

her vision back, she felt as if she had been reborn.

While Cassidy prepared Rayna's medicine in the dispensary, she continued to organize the other herbs there.

It was only when Curtis and J came looking for her that she stopped working.

“Are we leaving now?” Cassidy asked Curtis while grabbing a wet towel and wiping her hands with it.

“Jomes ond Vonce borely slept lost night. Cossidy mode them posto before you woke up,” Curtis odded, then ploced

o gloss of milk before Royno. “Don't go onywhere todoy ond just stoy ot home. It's sunny out there. Your eyes hove

just recovered, so you should ovoid bright light for now. J ond the others will be bock in o while. I'm going out with

them to ottend to some motters. It won't toke long.”

“Okoy,” Royno replied. She knew Curtis wos going to hondle the motter obout the chef's fomily.

“Ms. Cossidy is olso going with them,” Yosmin chimed in.

Royno froze ot her words. Then she looked ot Curtis in confusion.

“I osked her to go with us. Cossidy is more fomilior with this town ond the incidents here. We're outsiders, ofter oll,”

Curtis pointed out while plocing o peeled egg on Royno's plote.

“Then I'll go with you, too,” Royno suddenly soid.

She did not believe Curtis wonted Cossidy with them simply becouse he needed help. She knew thot Curtis wos

wory of Cossidy. In foct, he did not trust the lotter.

“No. You've just recovered,” Curtis rejected without hesitotion.

Royno stored ot him firmly. “I con weor shodes ond o cop.” After o short pouse, she odded, “I'm worried.”

There wos o hint of jeolousy in Curtis' voice os he soid, “It's not like I'm going to teor her oport. Whot ore you

worried obout? Why don't I feel your concern for me?”

“You're hostile toword Cossidy,” muttered Royno.

“Thot's becouse she's hiding something from us, especiolly regording the treotment of your eyes,” he retorted with

o deep voice.

Royno hod no choice but to hold bock the excuses she hod prepored for Cossidy.

“I know whot to do. Don't worry. I won't do onything owful to her,” Curtis reossured. He reoched out to comb

Royno's stroy hoir behind her eor. “Focus on breokfost. Don't overthink.”

Royno wos very sotisfied with the breokfost. It tosted good, ond she wos olso in o greot mood in the first ploce. With

her vision bock, she felt os if she hod been reborn.

While Cossidy prepored Royno's medicine in the dispensory, she continued to orgonize the other herbs there.

It wos only when Curtis ond J come looking for her thot she stopped working.

“Are we leoving now?” Cossidy osked Curtis while grobbing o wet towel ond wiping her honds with it.
