When things settled down, Rayna felt her ears buzzing, and her right shoulder was in severe pain. There was a sweet taste in her throat before she spat out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably.

When she was able to open her eyes, she found that her body was extremely heavy, as if someone was pressing on her.

Curtis had unbuckled his seatbelt at a crucial time and jumped over to protect her, so more than half of the shattered windscreen had pierced his back. There was blood all over him while he got stuck in the deformed car.

“C-Curtis.” Rayna gently moved him away from her with trembling hands. His blood-covered face was a shocking sight. His weak breathing made her panic.

Curtis’ eyes moved under the closed lids before he opened them with difficulty.

With the same dark eyes, he looked up and down at her with labored breathing and asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you okay?”

“I’m okay, but you…” Rayna saw shards of glass on his back, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her voice was trembling as she added, “I’ll help you…”

“I’m fine. You should go out first.”

Even though his lower body was stuck in the cracks of the car, and his voice was hoarse, he still spoke with a gentle voice as he removed the surrounding shards of glass and opened the car door to let Rayna out.

After Rayna left the car, she wanted to pull him out. Being drenched by the rain, she was so anxious that she was about to cry.

However, Curtis grabbed her wrist and said in a hoarse voice, suppressing the pain, “Rayna, you have unmatched talents, and you are the only one I can trust. Please look after Faymon Group if I die.”

“You’re talking nonsense! You won’t die!” Rayna yelled at him and told him to shut up as she was triggered by the word “die”. She tried hard to remove the heavy object on his legs.

Yet, Curtis’ body was so stuck in the car that she could not move him an inch no matter how hard she tried.

His clothes were completely soaked in blood. He could no longer hold Rayna’s hand tightly and slowly let go before he closed his eyes amidst her crying and scolding.

“Don’t sleep, Curtis. You hear me? Open your eyes!”

No matter how hard Rayna shouted, Curtis remained motionless. If she had listened closely, he had nearly stopped breathing.

Rayna was surrounded by a great sense of fear.

Fortunately, she found her phone in the car. The screen was cracked but it could still be unlocked. After wiping the rainwater off the screen, she called the ambulance with trembling hands.

“Hello, there’s a car accident on Meadow Street. Yes, it’s very serious. Please hurry up.”

The car accident also caught him off guard. His usual calmness was instantly replaced by consternation, a feeling he had never had. Before his car came to a complete halt, he had stumbled out of it.

The black Bentley in front was hit so hard that it was deformed, with shards of glass all around it.

Jefferson ran over and was only relieved when he saw Rayna who was squatting beside the car and talking on the phone crying. He then went to help her up. “Are you okay?”

When he saw the blood on her right shoulder, he immediately took out a handkerchief from his pocket and pressed it against her shoulder, trying to make her leave with him.

“I’m taking you to the hospital.”

“Save Curtis first. He’s still inside and he’s stuck in the car. I’m afraid the ambulance won’t make it in time. Please help him, Jefferson!” Rayna said eagerly while grabbing Jefferson’s hand.

Anger swelled in Jefferson. He grabbed her phone and smashed it to the ground. “Isabelle, why do you still care about others at a time like this? You’ll die. Come with me!”

“No!” Rayna pushed him away fiercely and shouted, “Jefferson, what you’re doing is pointless! Do you think you can fix everything by sending flowers and following me for several months? I’m not Isabelle either! Isabelle Griffith is long dead!”

Jefferson felt a suffocating pain in his chest. He wanted to explain everything to her, but this was not a good time, so he was determined to drag her into the car.

They were then fighting in the rain.

As Rayna could not break free from his grip, she raised her hand and slapped him hard in the face.

The slap caused his head to turn sideways and knocked his glasses off his face. A slap mark soon appeared on his cheek. It was not until her palm went numb that Rayna realized what she had done.

An ambulance was approaching and its siren became louder. Soon, it arrived at the scene. After apologizing to him, Rayna turned around and ran over to help, while Jefferson was rooted to the spot.

Rayna and several nurses spent a lot of effort to pull out Curtis who was stuck under the car. As his legs were stuck for too long, they had become a mass of bleeding flesh. The sight brought tears to Rayna’s eyes.

Soon, Curtis was put on a stretcher and carried into the ambulance.

Seeing that Rayna also got into the ambulance, Jefferson came back to his senses and strode over.

“Isabelle!”

He only managed to take a quick glance at her before the door of the ambulance was closed, and the ambulance left.

Jefferson wanted to chase after her, but the violent beating of his heart made him gasp in pain. His face was distorted as if he could not bear it anymore as he fell backward to the ground in the rain.

…

Rayna had been on edge all the way from the ambulance to the operating room of the hospital. Filled with fear and uneasiness, she stared at the red light of the operating room without blinking.

The doctor said that Curtis is fine, so I have to trust what the doctor told me.

Time ticked by. After what seemed like forever, there was a flurry of footsteps from the other side of the corridor, and then several people came to the operating room.

All of them exuded an air of elegance, but the looks in their eyes were different.

With the help of the wall, Rayna stood up and scanned the people, who seemed to be from the Faymon family. She had seen them when she had dinner at the Faymon residence before her divorce from Julian, who was also standing before her at that moment.

Seeing that Rayna was there, Julian had a complicated look in his eyes. He noticed that she was drenched and her right shoulder was covered in blood, so he took off his coat and put it over her, but she turned him down.

“Don’t reject me now.” Julian grabbed her hand to stop her from removing the coat and went on to ask, “I saw from the news that Uncle Curtis had a car accident on Meadow Street. Were you in the car too?”

Has the news of the car accident spread in such a short time?

Feeling doubtful, Rayna replied, “Yeah. There was a car going against the traffic with high beams on. Mr. Faymon couldn’t dodge it in time and get into the accident.”

“The police will check the surveillance footage to find out what really happened.” Brooklyn walked over and continued in a stern voice, “I will definitely not let you off if Curtis’ car accident is related to you.”

“That’s enough, Brooklyn. Your cousin is still in the operating room. Don’t talk so much.” One of the Faymon family members turned to look at Rayna and added, “You should leave now. You’re not needed here.”

“I’m staying. I’ll leave after Mr. Faymon is safe,” Rayna replied coldly.

“Ms. Garland, what you said is worth pondering, isn’t it?” Brooklyn scrutinized Rayna. “Why are you so worried about Curtis? Is something going on between you and him?”

“Mr. Faymon is my boss.”

“Heh, we can’t say for sure whether you regard Curtis as your boss or something else!”

Rayna pursed her lips.

Just as she was about to say something, another two people came over.

It was a lady in a dark purple dress with a kind face. Looking fit for her age, she did not have a single grey hair, making it impossible to tell her age. She was wearing a pair of gray sheepskin high heels, and a housekeeper was following behind her.
