Dear Sweetheart novel

Dear Sweetheart Chapter 240 I Fell In Love With You Curtis said icily, “How dare you do this? Do you want to end up in jail?”

“Mr. Faymon, we had no choice!” Doctor A pleaded. “The person had dirt on us and threatened us to

help him. Otherwise, he’ll force us to leave the hospital.”

Doctor B crawled over and begged, “Mr. Faymon, please forgive us! If we had known she was your

friend, we wouldn’t have dared harm her.”

Curtis sneered, “Are you saying you would do this to someone else without qualms?”

“That’s not what we meant.”

“Wyatt!” Curtis refused to waste time with them and summoned Wyatt, who was guarding the door

outside. “Bring them to the police station so they can get punished for their deeds.”

Wyatt responded cheerfully, “Sure, I’ll do that right now!”

The doctors wanted to plead for forgiveness but were kicked out by Wyatt.

Curtis shrugged out of his suit jacket and placed it over Rayna’s shoulders. Anxiously, he asked, “Are

you okay?”

“I’m all right.” Rayna nodded. She recalled what happened previously and apologized, “About last time,

I didn’t do it on purpose. I couldn’t tell you about the child, so—”

Curtis leaned in, and his mouth covered hers in a dizzying kiss.

A while later, he let her go and rubbed her soft lips with his finger. “I know,” he rasped.

“If you knew, then why didn’t you reply to my WhatsApp message?” Rayna huffed. She hadn’t been

able to eat or sleep well as he hadn’t replied to her text. “You must’ve done it on purpose!”

“I often eat together with Mr. Chambers. According to him, you’re pretty busy, so I didn’t want to disturb

you.”

Rayna scoffed, “Thank you then!”

Curtis leaned over and stared at her in all seriousness, his dark eyes as intense as ever. ”Ms. Garland,

I am in love with you. Let’s try dating each other.”

His words caught Rayna off guard. She gazed at his face in shock, not knowing how to respond.

What did he say? Am I hearing things? I must be hearing things!

Curtis continued, “To be honest, I was annoyed whenever I saw you before. You weren’t anything

special, but why were you so attractive and appealing? Later, I discovered that you’re smart, pretty, and

hold fast to your principles. Slowly, I fell in love with you. I can stand eating the various pork dishes you

cook and allow you to mess up my car. And as you had run out of the wedding, I can put up with long-

haired pets even though I despise them.”

After his speech, he realized Rayna still had the same expression and pinched her cheek. “Rayna, do

you know what I’m talking about?”

Rayna stammered, “Y-You said so much. I’m not used to it.”

Curtis chuckled lowly. “To conclude, I am in love with you. Will you be my girlfriend?”

“I am in love with you.” I’ve been waiting for him to say that for a long time. In fact, I even had the urge

to confess my feelings for him first. However, I got too nervous every time and gave up.

Rayna had to admit that her heart was doing clumsy flips and flops. She wanted to say yes, but…

“I’m sorry,” Rayna answered in a low voice. She still couldn’t get over what he had done previously. “I

have a lot of work, so we should talk about that later. Mr. Faymon, you’re an outstanding man—”

“Okay,” Curtis cut in. “We shall talk when you’re free.”

Rayna bobbed her head.

Curtis was still worried, so he summoned the doctor to examine Rayna and only brought her out after

confirming she was fine. He also told her about the phone call from James earlier.

Rayna was confused. Doesn’t James hate Curtis? Why did he call Curtis when there were so many

others he could have contacted?

Downstairs, they bumped into a few nurses who were wheeling a patient into the hospital hastily.

Rayna glanced at the gurney and saw a teenager who seemed to be in pain. His entire body was

stained with blood.

The familiar face caused her to freeze in her tracks.

I-Isn’t this…

“Isabelle Griffith!” Elijah rushed over and raised his hand to give Rayna a slap.

Curtis blocked his hand and gave him a menacing look. “Sir, if you have something to say, say it. I

won’t allow you to harm her physically!”

Elijah was upset at being intimidated by a man younger than him. Nevertheless, he had no choice but

to put his hand down.

He roared, “I didn’t keep an eye on Harry, so he ran out. All he wanted was to see the celebrity he

adored. How could that b*stard James beat him to a pulp?”

“My brother wouldn’t beat someone up for no reason. It must be Harry who provoked him first.” Rayna

knew James well. “Mr. Elijah, I’d like to know why you hired someone to kidnap me.”

Elijah showed no signs of remorse and harrumphed. “You’re my daughter, so can’t I get someone to

bring you to the hospital? I only want to extract your bone marrow. It’s a harmless procedure.”

Rayna snorted icily. “I can’t believe you’re this shameless. Elijah, you’re reaping what you sow. Karma

is coming at your son instead!”

“Hey!”

“Just you wait. You’ll receive a summons to appear in court soon.” Rayna met his gaze and stated

calmly, “I will make sure you get punished, no matter what.”

Ignoring his foul expression, Rayna spun on her heels and strode away.

Rayna wanted to hail a taxi to head back to her condominium, but Curtis had driven his car here. She

had no choice but to get into his car. To ease the tension in the air, she called her friend, who was a

lawyer.

“Yes, I’d like to sue him. He hired someone to kidnap me. Find a way to lock him up in jail for a few

months.”

As Curtis drove, he listened to her phone conversation silently.

He wasn’t going to interfere in this matter, as she was capable enough of dealing with the problem

herself. In fact, he couldn’t help but feel proud of her.

Even if they didn’t end up together, Rayna would be able to do well in life and would no longer be

bullied.

As Curtis thought back to when he first met Rayna, he couldn’t help but laugh. His sudden laughter

caught Rayna’s attention, and she looked at him suspiciously.

After ending the call, Rayna asked, “Were you laughing at me?”

“No.” Curtis might have been driving, but he only had eyes for her. “I was just thinking about how you

used to live in a cocoon in the translation department. Now, you’re a strong, independent woman.”

Rayna huffed in displeasure. “I wasn’t living in a cocoon! I did a great job when I was a translator at

Faymon Group’s translation department!”

“You did too!”

Rayna felt a flash of irritation and wanted to hit him, but he was driving. She was about to show him the

middle finger, but before she could do that, he covered her hand with his warm one.

“Don’t do that rude gesture,” Curtis told her.

“Let me go.” Rayna tried to pull her hand back as her cheeks turned pink. “I won’t do it.”

Instead of letting her go, Curtis tightened his grip and drove with his other hand. “Are you hungry?

What do you want to eat? Or should we buy some groceries so you can cook for me back at home?”

Rayna was baffled. “If I’m hungry, I can eat by myself. Why would I need to cook for you?”

“I can wash the vegetables for you,” Curtis offered. After a pause, he added, “I can wash the dishes

after we eat too.”

“Who taught you to say that?” Rayna demanded. She knew Curtis well enough to realize that he

wouldn’t think of saying those words if someone else hadn’t taught him. “Was it Mr. Tylinski?”
