Dear Sweetheart Chapter 489
Chapter 489
Upon leaving the office, Rayna hailed a taxi and headed straight home.
When she arrived at Kristie’s door, she was struck by a dizzy spell that forced her to hold on to the wall
for support. Only then did she manage to press the doorbell after much effort.
Soon, someone came to open the door.
“Rayna!” Kristie supported Rayna at once when she saw how pale thetter looked.
“I’m fine,” Rayna reassured her as both of them walked through the door.
Carl came up to her with a cup of warm water and a dejected look on his face. “I’m sorry, Ms. Rayna,
for being of no help at all. I could only stand idly by and watch you get taken away by the police.”
Giving his hair a tousle, Rayna consoled him in a gentle tone, “Don’t think that way. Look, I’m fine now,
am I not?”
She asked Kristie next, “What happened to Jessie?”
“She panicked upon learning of your arrest through the news. When I failed to get hold of Curt, she
contacted Vivi instead, hoping to speak to her directly. I wanted to go with her, but she refused. After
spending the entire day outside, she finally returned at night saying that Vivi had decided to withdraw
thewsuit.”

Rayna was jolted by the revtion as the truth became clear to her.
“And here I was wondering why Vivi withdrew thewsuit. It turned out…” Bitterness began to fill
Rayna’s heart.
She had assumed that it was Curtis who had helped her from the shadows, but it turned out to be
Jessica.
After suppressing her turbulent emotions, Rayna asked anxiously, “Where is she now?”
“I have no idea.” Kristie shook her head. “The following day, her face drastically changed when she
received a call. She left in such a hurry that she didn’t even change her shoes. When she finally
returned in the evening, she looked terrible and was covered in blood. She handed me a phone and a
ward number in General Hospital with the instructions to check in there every three days. After that,
she left so quickly that neither myself nor Carl could stop her.”
Rayna caught her breath as panic began to set in. “When did this happen? Did she note back ever
since?”
“This was three days ago.”
“Did she not tell you where she was going?”
“She told me she was going back to her old ce when I asked. She even asked you to help her take
care of the person in the hospital on her behalf. Rayna, didn’t she stay with you before this? Does she
have another home in Norwal City?”
Her old ce?
Thinking about Jessica’s condition, her rtive in the hospital, and the words she said to Kristie before
she left, Rayna figured Jessica must have run into Wyatt while she was out.
She sprang up from the couch with her brows tightly furrowed. “Kristie, give me the ward number.”
However, the moment she got on her feet, her head began to swoon and her limbs felt wobbly.
“Rayna”—Kristie helped her back to her seat—”your body has reached its limit. Why don’t you rest a
little first? After all, you headed straight to the office upon being released from the police station.”
“I’m fine. I can rest in the car.” Rayna struggled back up. “I’m really worried about Jessie.”
If she hadn’t taken the risk of going out in order to help me, Wyatt wouldn’t have found her.
At that moment, Carl held her hand tightly, showing strength that was beyond his small stature. With a
serious expression, he said, “Ms. Rayna, we understand that you’re worried, but you and the babies
need rest too.”
Kristie asked quizzically, “What baby?” Noticing the small bump in Rayna’s abdomen, she gasped.
“Rayna, you’re pregnant?”
“Aunt Kristie, stop being so dramatic. Just keep an eye on her,” Carl instructed as he slipped away to
give the doctor a call.
“Rayna, this is too much! How could you not tell me you’re pregnant?” Kristie watched over Rayna as
she pouted in anger. “Even that brat knows about it!”
“There was just so much going on that I forgot to tell you.”
“I don’t believe you!” Kristie let out a snort. “You must be worried about me telling Curt about it.”
Rayna was rendered speechless by the response.
Despite the clueless look on her face, she’s still one sharp girl.
Knowing that lying was not an option, Rayna grunted in acknowledgment before exining tly, “I
broke up with him a long time ago. Besides, the children aren’t his.”
With a nk look on her face, Kristie couldn’t help but ask, “W-Whose are they?”
“I’m thirsty. Can you get me a ss of water?” Rayna handed the ss to Kristie. “Oh, and get me
something to eat.”
“Rayna, you haven’t answered my—”
“I’m feeling dizzy.” Rayna massaged her temple with a grimace on her face.
Kristie refrained from pressing on with her questions as she hurried off to the kitchen to get some water
and snacks.
By the time she returned and hoped to find out more, Rayna had preempted her by swiftly changing the
topic.
In the end, the question simply slipped off Kristie’s mind.
Twenty minutester, the doctor arrived.
As Carl mentioned over the phone that the patient was pregnant, Kristie’s personal doctor had sent a
gynecologist over.
She started out by asking her a few basic questions.
After scrutinizing her face, she put on her gloves and asked, “How many months are you into the
pregnancy? Do you feel any difort in your stomach?”
“It’s about five months now,” Rayna replied. “I don’t feel any difort, but it does hurt a little when the
babies kick me.”
“Lift up your top for me to check.”
Upon hearing the gynecologist’s instructions, Carl quietly step out of the bedroom, for he was too
embarrassed to stay.
Raynaplied and revealed her porcin white abdomen.
The gynecologist began feeling around her sides. After a brief observation, she asked, “How many?”
“Triplets.”
“What!” Kristie’s eyes opened wide as she stared at Rayna’s stomach. “How can three babies fit inside
such a small space?”
Even the gynecologist was shocked, but she regained herposure quickly. “Your stomach is indeed
small at five months… But it’s probably rted to your body constitution. What do you usually eat?”
“I’m not a picky eater, but I do avoid unhealthy food.”
The doctor nodded in response. “How often do you go for a checkup? Are you on any medication?”
“I go for a monthly checkup and only take medications prescribed by the doctor.” The gynecologist’s
detailed questions caused Rayna to frown. “What is it? Is there something wrong with the babies?”
“Not at all,” the gynecologist replied. “They are very healthy. All you need to do is watch what you eat.
As for thebor suppressants, there’s no need to continue them. Also, remember not to tire yourself
out.”
At that moment, Rayna heaved a sigh of relief. “Okay, thank you. I get nervous whenever doctors ask
me plenty of questions. I’m just worried that I’m not taking good care of the babies.”
“Well, everything is fine. I’ll be on my way now.”
“Let me walk you out, doctor,” Kristie offered as she helped the doctor pack.
Upon arriving at the door, the gynecologist lowered her voice and asked Kristie, “Ms. Winton, I know
who she is and that she has gone out with Mr. Faymon before. In that case, is she carrying—”
“I’m just as clueless as you are,” Kristie answered ambiguously, worried that the doctor would gossip.
“You’d better not forget who you’re working for and remember to keep your lips sealed!”
“Yes, yes.”
Knowing who Kristie was to Curtis, the doctor naturally didn’t dare inquire any further.
When the gynecologist returned to the hospital for the night shift, she ran into Kristie’s personal doctor
in the corridor, where both of them greeted each other.
Kristie’s doctor asked, “How did your examination go? Who’s the pregnantdy staying with Ms.
Winton?”
