Chapter 119 Curtis Can Only Depend On A Wheelchair

Brooklyn called, “Aunt Sienna!”

It turned out to be the fourth daughter of the Faymon family, Sienna Faymon, Curtis and Brooklyn’s aunt.

“Is everyone here?” Sienna nodded as she looked at the red light above the operating room. She then asked, “I heard Curtis got into an accident. How is he?”

“He’s still in the operating room, so we’re not sure,” Brooklyn said as she glanced at Rayna. “This is Rayna Garland. She’s the manager of the newly established Department of Regulators at Faymon Group. She was also in Curtis’ car.”

Upon hearing Rayna’s name, Sienna narrowed her eyes. In an instant, it seemed like her sharp gaze was directed toward Rayna as she glared at the latter. Sienna had a neutral expression, but her eyes told a different story.

All this while, she had only heard of Rayna. Now that she saw the real person, she noticed that the same person had rejected her business proposal to follow Curtis to discuss a different business in Tyrandas, and caused her to lose a finger.

Sienna walked toward Rayna. Although she was shorter, she emanated an expressive aura. With a hand raised, she was about to slap Rayna.

She moved at a great speed.

Just as Rayna was about to return the action, Julian grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him. With that, the slap from Sienna landed on the lower half of his face with a clean and crisp sound.

Julian licked the corners of his lips that were turning numb before he said, “Aunt Sienna, Rayna is my ex-wife. She’s also hurt. If there’s anything, you can come to me. Besides, this matter was also the other driver’s fault. It has nothing to do with her.”

“The two of you are already divorced, yet you’re still protecting her?” Sienna asked angrily, “Is she more important than your uncle?”

“Aunt Sienna, you have to be reasonable in everything,” Julian said, “Let’s wait for the police to check the surveillance cameras. Once they find out the reason and if it is her fault, it still won’t be too late for you to discipline her then.”

Brooklyn laughed sarcastically. “Julian, the news of you committing adultery was exposed by your ex- wife, which caused you to be transferred to the branch office in Horington. That made you a laughing stock, yet now, you’re protecting her. I don’t understand what you’re doing!”

Julian replied, “It was my fault for cheating on her. I was the one who harmed her, so it’s reasonable for her to take revenge on me. After all, we were once husband and wife. I am not going to see her get hit.”

Rayna glanced at Julian.

Compared to before, he seems like a different person. Why is that?

Sienna put her hand down. Rayna noticed that Sienna’s right hand had only four fingers, and she had no ring finger. From the looks of it, it looked like it had been chopped off.

Sienna said, “This is the Faymon family’s issue. We don’t need any outsiders here. You folks should go.”

“You guys” also included Julian. Sienna did not acknowledge him as a part of the Faymon family. After all, he was just a relative who relied on the Faymon family.

Julian did not overthink it. His expression did not change as he turned around and grabbed Rayna’s hand. “Let’s go. We need to clean the wound on your shoulder, or else it’ll be infected.”

Rayna was silent, but she did not want to leave.

No matter how many people from the Faymon family came or how concerned they were about Curtis’ condition, she did not trust any of them.

“Rayna.” Julian tugged on her arm.

Rayna remained unmoving.

“Enough. Just leave. We don’t need you here to take care of him!” Brooklyn said in frustration. She was about to call the guards to chase them out.

The guards did not come, but three other people showed up.

The three men that arrived were all outstanding people, each taller than the other with different yet handsome facial features.

The man walking in the front was especially cool. His facial features were as sharp as a knife, and he exuded an intense cold aura. His legs, hidden behind those black pants, were long, yet they gave off a feeling of lifelessness.

Rayna stared blankly at the man’s face. She felt as though she had seen him before. Soon, the face of the boy she had met in the shopping mall a few days ago slowly overlapped with the man’s face.

That boy looks like a replica of this man! Is this a coincidence?

Rayna was still in a daze as those three men came forward.

Jeremy, whom Rayna previously met through a video call, greeted her gently, “Ms. Garland.”

“Wow, Missy. You’re so pretty!” A young man swung an arm around Jeremy’s neck and looked at Rayna excitedly. He showed her a peace sign and said, “We added each other as friends on WhatsApp. Do you remember?”

Upon hearing the nickname “Missy,” Rayna thought of when Curtis forwarded her a WhatsApp contact. That contact had messaged her, asking, “Missy, can we get to know each other better?”

The corners of her lips twitched. “Wyatt?”

“That’s me!” Wyatt grinned. “It looks like I have a place in your heart!”

Rayna was at a loss for words.

Jeremy elbowed Wyatt hard in the stomach to shut him up before he asked Rayna, “How’s Curtis?”

“Mr. Faymon is still in surgery.” When she thought of what she had seen, Rayna’s shoulders trembled as she held her hands together to calm herself down. “The doctor said that there’s no need to worry. His condition is not serious.”

Jeremy looked relieved. “Then Curtis should be fine.”

Rayna and Jeremy started talking to one another. Those few people from the Faymon family were confused. They had never met Jeremy and the others.

A glimmer of darkness flashed across Sienna’s eyes.

From how Jeremy addressed Curtis, Sienna determined they had a close relationship with him.

“You’re all Curtis’ friends, right?” Sienna’s tone was gentle yet ruthless as she said, “Please go back. We, from the Faymon family, will take care of him.”

The man leading the group shot Sienna a look.

Wyatt smiled instead. “Ma’am, not only is our Curtis a member of the Faymon family, but he is also our relative. Since he got into an accident, it’s also compulsory for us to take care of him.”

Brooklyn replied, “You guys don’t have the Faymon name. If we let you take care of him, won’t that make people think that we are not dedicated to caring for him?” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Wyatt narrowed his eyes and whistled as he said, “It’s obvious who has ulterior motives and wants to do harmful things.”

“What are you trying to say? Be clear about it!” Brooklyn glared at Wyatt as her tone turned sharp. “Curtis is my cousin. Do you think I’m pretending to be worried because he got into an accident?”

“I can’t help it if you want to be that sensitive.” Wyatt shrugged.

The emotionless man wearing a black shirt suddenly spoke. His tone was cold as he said, “Wyatt.”

Wyatt huffed and remained at Jeremy’s side, not saying anything more. On the other hand, Brooklyn glanced at the man and grimaced as she backed down after noticing that he was not a force to be reckoned with.

Rayna looked at the man once more.

Curtis looked like he was not someone who was approachable, but he was actually a gentleman and a warm person. However, this man seemed lifeless. His eyes seemed like a deep pool. No matter how you threw a rock into it, the waters in it would not ripple. That made him seem heartless.

Jeremy noticed that Rayna kept staring at the man, so he introduced the two, “This is my eldest brother, Theodore Xavier.”

Rayna nodded.

Suddenly, the light above the operating room turned off, and the two heavy doors were opened. The first to come out was the doctor, followed by a few nurses and Curtis, who was pale and unconscious on the hospital bed.

Everyone immediately gathered around them.

Sienna asked in a panic, “Doctor, how is my nephew?”

“Sorry. We’ve done our best,” The doctor’s face was full of sympathy as he said, “Mr. Faymon’s legs were injured badly. I’m afraid he would need to depend on a wheelchair for the rest of his life.”

“No, that’s impossible!” Sienna’s face turned pale, and she swayed back and forth. The others held her up so she would not collapse to the floor. “Doctor, please try again. It doesn’t matter how much it costs!”

Rayna felt like she had entered a frozen cellar and felt chills run down her spine.

This must be fake, right? Uncle Curtis is only thirty years old. There are still many things for him to handle at Faymon Group. How could his legs be paralyzed?
