Dear Sweetheart Chapter 82
Chapter 82 Priceless
“That’s because I only feel alive when I’m working.”
Curtis’ voice was soft and t. All Rayna could hear was the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind.
“Mr. Faymon, what did you say?” she asked as she did not hear his response.
She wanted to lean in to hear him better but ended up tripping over some veins on the ground. Just as
she was about to knock her head against his back, he turned around in the nick of time and held her
firmly. It was as though he saw iting.
“Ms. Gand, the ground is uneven,” Curtis said in resignation. Sometimes, I feel that she’s brilliant,
and at times, I’d have the opposite opinion. Can’t she walk properly?
From then on, he held her wrist and moved forward while cutting down the shrubs with the other hand.

Rayna’s heart skipped a beat, and her ears flushed as she looked at her wrist that was within his grip.
Around ten minutester, they finally reached the vige and saw that the surrounding buildings were
simple but solid. With various vegetables growing around them, the ce looked full of vitality.
“Wait!” Rayna shouted at Curtis. Then, she grabbed two handfuls of soil and rubbed them on her face
and arms before doing the same for him. Her actions caused him to knit his brows tightly.
“We can’t just go in like this. Let’s pretend we got lost,” she exined.
Curtis was at a loss for words.
“Someone’sing, Mr. Faymon!” Seeing a man approaching with a hoe over his shoulders as if he
was out to farm, Rayna whispered into Curtis’ ear, “Think on your feet.” With that, she proceeded to lie
on the ground, acting as though she had fainted.
Curtis did not respond.
When he noticed that the man was heading in their direction, he quickly squatted down and carried
Rayna into his arms. She looks like a fugitive with her face covered with soil. A look of amusement
shed across his eyes.
Once again, he was impressed by her.
Secondster, the man, who was usually an alert person, put his guard down upon seeing how
disheveled Curtis and Rayna looked. He then spoke to Curtis in a foreignnguage.
Thetter did not understand what the man was saying but nodded when he noticed him pointing
toward the vige. With Rayna in his arms, Curtis followed the man into the vige, and they soon
entered a house.
After a short while, a woman with a headscarf walked in with a bowl of water that looked as clear as
spring water.
Curtis took the bowl of water from the woman and drank a few mouthfuls first, pretending to be
parched. Upon ensuring that it was safe to consume, he fed it to Rayna.
Rayna yed along by taking a few sips of the water before gradually opening her eyes.
“Oh, my goodness! We didn’t die!” she eximed joyfully as she leaned into Curtis’ embrace. Tears of
joy even flowed down her cheeks.
Curtis’ eyebrows twitched. Kristie isn’t the only one who can act well! This woman is also quite
impressive in acting.
Rayna did not hug him for long. Soon, she let go of him and wiped off the tears on her face. Acting as if
she had just seen the woman, she asked curiously in Uronian, “May I know where are we?”
“Y-You can speak ournguage?” The woman looked at Rayna in shock. Slightly excited, she
continued, “I thought only the people in our vige knew thisnguage.”
Because Uronian was anguage that was close to extinction and the vigers could not understand
thenguage spoken by outsiders, they relied on hunting for survival.
In response, Rayna answered, “My grandpa taught me thenguage. He told me he had grown up in
the northern region. No matter where he went, he made sure to remember his origin. Unfortunately…
my grandpa passed away when I was young.”
“May God bless you.” The woman pushed Curtis aside and held Rayna’s hands. Gazing at the younger
woman as if thetter were her daughter, she asked, “You must’ve gone through a lot of hardships,
right?”
Rayna nodded with teary eyes. “My dad wouldn’t ept Zahar because he’s poor and mute. Instead,
he wanted me to marry a sixty-year-old man. However, Zahar and I are truly in love. I’m willing to do
anything for him.”
Hearing that, the woman swept a nce at Curtis and asked, “Is he Zahar? Are you two married?”
“Yes. You saw how much he loves me, right? I eloped with him. But I didn’t expect my dad would get so
mad that he kept jeopardizing our business. We couldn’t stay in Mapleton anymore, so we brought our
goods here. We nned on selling the goods so that we could provide for our child. Unfortunately, we
lost our way and our truck at the same time,” Rayna uttered.
“Where’s your child?” the woman asked.
“I just got pregnant not long ago.” Rayna caressed her abdomen and put on a pitiful expression. “I don’t
care if my dad hates me, but this child belongs to Zahar and me. I want to raise our child well.”
Touched by Rayna’s words, the woman pulled her into her embrace and patted her back as an act of
comfort. “Poor child. I’m a mother, so I know how tough it is to be pregnant. If you don’t mind, you and
your husband are wee to stay the night here,” she said.
“We wouldn’t want to trouble you too much,” Rayna replied. “Perhaps you could give us some food.
That would be more than enough. Thank you.”
“You wouldn’t be troubling me!” The woman did not mind providing shelter for them. While looking at
Rayna’s abdomen, she said, “Besides, you just got pregnant. You shouldn’t move around too much.
Just stay here.”
Rayna did not reject her anymore. “You’re so kind. Thank you.”
The woman’s heart swelled with adoration. With a bright smile on her face, she tucked Rayna in and
stood up to leave.
Before she left, she gave Curtis a look of admiration and pity.
Frowning, Curtis watched the door close before turning toward Rayna. He smiled when he saw the
tears in her eyes. “Ms. Gand, your acting skills are marvelous.”
“Don’t talk, Mr. Faymon.” Rayna signaled for him to keep quiet. In a low voice, she said, “I told that
woman we’re a married couple. We have a small business together, and you’re mute.”
Curtis’ lips twitched, and he voiced his confusion, “Why am I a mute?”
“To gain their sympathy, of course.” Rayna beckoned him toe closer. Once he did, she added,
“We’ll stay here tonight and go out to see what the situation is like when tomorrowes. By the way,
what’s the thing that’s worth one billion?”
Curtis took out a stic bag from his pocket and opened theyers of wrappers, revealing a withered
nt kept within. A faint fragrance could be whiffed.
Does he take me for a fool? Rayna pointed at the flower and stared at him in shock. “This? One
billion?”
He grunted an acknowledgment in response before exining, “Aponent extracted from this nt
can regenerate cells and dy the aging of the human body.”
“What’s so special about that?” she asked. “Now, medical researchers worldwide have already
developed a lot of medicines to dy the aging of the human body. It’s just a matter of affordability
these days.”
“The medicines avable internationally can dy aging but can’t regenerate cells.” Curtis quirked his
lips and added, “Cells have a short lifespan and cannot regenerate. Thisponent, however, can
make that happen. It can regenerate cells in the human body with a sess rate of sixty percent. It
warms and nourishes various organs in the body, and it also has a significant effect on heart diseases.”
Dumbfounded by his exnation, Rayna did not respond for a while.
Although she was not a biology student, she knew what he was trying to convey. Basically, the thing in
his hand was akin to the medicine of immortality, capable of causing the whole world to go crazy for it.
“H-How is this thing only worth one billion?” Rayna held the nt and eximed in a trembling voice,
“Things that can reverse aging are priceless!”
“But how is it possible that only a handful of people know about a treasure like this, Mr. Faymon?” she
then asked.
“Didn’t you see?” Curtis jerked his chin up and uttered in a deep voice, “It can only be found in this
ce. Otherwise, why would I have brought you here?”
“That’s true.” Rayna smacked her forehead. How silly of me!
