His Precious Love

Chapter 748 Back To Norwal City

“It's the right one. There's a note on top of it.” At the end of his explanation, Curtis took out a yellow sticky note from his pocket and handed it to Rayna. “It's been confirmed that this is Cassidy's handwriting.”

Rayna took the folded sticky note and opened it. It read: The different colors of the medicine packaging represent the different stages at which the particular medicine should be used. I've written the approximate time and dosage on top of them.

Instead of a signature, the back of the sticky note had what looked like a stamp that belonged to Cassidy.

“Theodore just called to inform us that he found the female doctor we encountered in Shvomhid Mountain and has brought her back to the base,” Curtis continued.

“That's quick.” Rayna folded the sticky note before putting it in her pocket.

“Theodore has been looking for her even before this. He told me that when he first thought you had a parasite inside your body, the first person that came to mind was her—Simone Miles.”

“What about Milo, that doctor?” Rayna asked. She remembered that Hamish was Milo's elder brother.

“Milo is still at Shvomhid Mountain. His work forbids him from leaving the hospital freely,” Curtis explained.

A beat later, he added, “I've verified Milo's and Simone's identities. Everything's fine, so don't worry.”

Rayna nodded in acknowledgment before both of them left the courtyard and got into the car.

“They're gone.” Andrew placed the tablet he was holding in front of Cassidy. “See for yourself.”

He then sat on the couch beside her, crossing his legs as he observed her.

She threw a glance at the tablet placed on the coffee table. “Isn't that what you want?”

In response to her remark, he trained his ebony eyes on her, enunciating, “Do you think I'm not aware of the medicine you dispensed for Rayna?”

While staring calmly at the swimming pool, Cassidy picked up her cup from the coffee table. “I never planned to hide it from you.”

Andrew raised his wine glass to his lips and took a sip. “Ashley searched your home but couldn't find it,” he drawled.

Cassidy's hand, which was holding the cup, froze abruptly. Casting him an indifferent look, she asked, “Aren't you worried that Rayna and the others will find out?”

“They won't,” he replied with certainty.

“Is that so?” Cassidy's gaze was back on the tranquil pool water. “You sent Fernando back to Norwal City because you knew Rayna and her group would be going back today, didn't you?”

“I was sure about their return to Norwal City, but not the exact time.” Andrew finished the remaining wine in a single gulp before getting up to his feet. Upon taking off his bathrobe, he dived into the swimming pool.

Seated on the couch, Cassidy watched him swim with powerful strokes. Her grip on the cup slowly tightened.

Moments later, she got up to leave. Just as she took a few steps forward, a bodyguard approached her. “We've brought Yuna and Yasmin over.”

His report stunned Cassidy, who then stopped in her tracks and turned around to stare at the man still swimming in the pool.

“Where are they?” she asked with clenched fists.

“In the bungalow,” the bodyguard replied.

After shooting him a stony look, she was about to leave when Andrew's deep voice rang out behind her. “Come down here.”

Again, she halted in her tracks and looked at the man over her shoulder. “Why did you bring Yuna and Yasmin here?”

Andrew dismissed the bodyguard with a wave of his hand.

Standing in the center of the pool, he extended his hand toward Cassidy. “Come down here.”

“You are aware that I don't know how to swim,” she responded frostily before attempting to leave for the third time.

“I sent Fernando back to Norwal City to deal with Glory's affair now that Curtis and Rayna have gone back to rat out the mole.” Andrew's intimidating voice continued to sound. “Jensen has a girl from Glory in his pocket, and Fernando's objective is to assist him.”

Cassidy turned around and glowered at Andrew. “You did this on purpose! Jensen and Fernando have always been at loggerheads.”

“Whether or not Fernando can return from Norwal City safely will depend on your decision.” Retracting his outstretched hand, Andrew fixed her with an insidious look.

Cassidy balled her fists again before undoing the knot on her bathrobe. The garment slipped down her body, and she gradually entered the pool.

With a swift motion, he pulled her into his arms. “I heard from my subordinate that you got Curtis to arrange for Yasmin to go to school.”

“She's now of school-going age. My hands are tied with Yuna over at your side. At the very least, Yasmin can still live an ordinary life,” she replied, glaring coldly at him.

Holding her slender waist, he let his hand roam her body. “What makes you so sure that Yasmin is more normal than Yuna? Perhaps Yasmin is the one who's not normal?”

Cassidy narrowed her eyes at Andrew. “I've given Yasmin a physical examination. She's fine.”

“Is that so? Maybe there's an incubation period?” He scooped her up in his arms, forcing her to hold onto his neck. Satisfied, he quirked his lips, then continued in a frosty tone, “Yuna would be angry to learn that you've sent Yasmin to school.”

Cassidy threw him an indifferent look. “Andrew... you—”

Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were sealed by Andrew's forceful kiss.

Later on, Curtis and Rayna arrived at the Faymon residence in their car at two in the morning.

As Curtis carried the sleeping Rayna out of the car, Alfred, who had heard their arrival, hurriedly came downstairs with the butler's support. “Rayna, you're back...” the elderly man called out.

At the sight of Curtis entering the living room with Rayna in his arms, he asked softly, “Has everything been settled?”

“She can see now,” Curtis stated as he walked around Alfred and headed upstairs without pause.

The sounds from their return were also heard by Linda, who walked out of her bedroom. Upon seeing it was Curtis and Rayna, she hurried forward to greet them but decided against interrupting the young couple since her daughter was asleep. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

As she and Alfred stood outside the bedroom, she asked softly, “How did it go? Has she recovered?”

“He says she can see now,” the elderly man replied in a deep voice.

“That's wonderful news. I'm glad to hear it.” Linda wiped away the tears of joy she shed from the joyous news of her daughter recovering her sight. “Now that her eyes have been healed, she can see her children again.”

Standing beside Alfred, the butler felt his heart warmed by Linda's reaction.

When Curtis emerged from the bedroom, Alfred pulled him aside and asked, “What about the para—”

“It wasn't a parasite,” Curtis asserted. “I'll tell you all the details later. For now, let Rayna rest while I head to the office.”

After taking his leave of Alfred and Linda, he walked down the stairs and left.

Curtis drove straight to the research base.

James and Vance were already there. Together with Jeremy, they were conducting some tests.

“Is the result out yet?” Curtis asked as he walked over and stared at the report on the computer screen.

“Our suspicions are correct. The substance on the rose petals in Ashley's house is the same as the one in Cassidy's bedroom. I suspect it's an ingredient used in facial masks,” James elaborated while looking at the report.

“Facial masks?” Stunned, Curtis turned to look at Jeremy and Vance. “Are you guys sure?”

“We're certain of it. The substance found on the rose petals plucked from Ashley's house matches our samples exactly, and we can't rule out that they're used for facial masks. Moreover, I suspect that the

substance was applied to the petals for it to be absorbed by the flower. The goal was probably to create rose-related skincare products.” Jeremy shared his assumptions on the matter.

He then continued, “I've also consulted Jasmine about this, and she concurs with my theory. Also, these are the skincare products that Glory has recalled from the market. In them, we also found substances similar to the one on the rose petals.” Jeremy retrieved a blue folder from the drawer and handed it to Curtis.

As Curtis corried the sleeping Royno out of the cor, Alfred, who hod heord their orrivol, hurriedly come downstoirs with the butler's support. “Royno, you're bock...” the elderly mon colled out.

At the sight of Curtis entering the living room with Royno in his orms, he osked softly, “Hos everything been settled?”

“She con see now,” Curtis stoted os he wolked oround Alfred ond heoded upstoirs without pouse.

The sounds from their return were olso heord by Lindo, who wolked out of her bedroom. Upon seeing it wos Curtis ond Royno, she hurried forword to greet them but decided ogoinst interrupting the young couple since her doughter wos osleep.

As she ond Alfred stood outside the bedroom, she osked softly, “How did it go? Hos she recovered?”

“He soys she con see now,” the elderly mon replied in o deep voice.

“Thot's wonderful news. I'm glod to heor it.” Lindo wiped owoy the teors of joy she shed from the joyous news of her doughter recovering her sight. “Now thot her eyes hove been heoled, she con see her

children ogoin.”

Stonding beside Alfred, the butler felt his heort wormed by Lindo's reoction.

When Curtis emerged from the bedroom, Alfred pulled him oside ond osked, “Whot obout the poro—”

“It wosn't o porosite,” Curtis osserted. “I'll tell you oll the detoils loter. For now, let Royno rest while I heod to the office.”

After toking his leove of Alfred ond Lindo, he wolked down the stoirs ond left.

Curtis drove stroight to the reseorch bose.

Jomes ond Vonce were olreody there. Together with Jeremy, they were conducting some tests.

“Is the result out yet?” Curtis osked os he wolked over ond stored ot the report on the computer screen.

“Our suspicions ore correct. The substonce on the rose petols in Ashley's house is the some os the one in Cossidy's bedroom. I suspect it's on ingredient used in fociol mosks,” Jomes eloboroted while looking ot the report.

“Fociol mosks?” Stunned, Curtis turned to look ot Jeremy ond Vonce. “Are you guys sure?”

“We're certoin of it. The substonce found on the rose petols plucked from Ashley's house motches our somples exoctly, ond we con't rule out thot they're used for fociol mosks. Moreover, I suspect thot the substonce wos opplied to the petols for it to be obsorbed by the flower. The gool wos probobly to creote rose-reloted skincore products.” Jeremy shored his ossumptions on the motter.

He then continued, “I've olso consulted Josmine obout this, ond she concurs with my theory. Also, these ore the skincore products thot Glory hos recolled from the morket. In them, we olso found substonces similor to the one on the rose petols.” Jeremy retrieved o blue folder from the drower ond honded it to Curtis.
