Dear Sweetheart Chapter 582


    Chapter 582


    “A ce I want to go to…” Rayna stared at him in confusion when she registered his question.


    “Nardor?”


    “Mm.” Jefferson smiled and nodded. After knocking the egg against the table, he slowly peeled the


    shell. “I said I was going to buy an ind for you to enjoy yourself there.”


    Rayna blinked.


    It was then she realized what was amiss.


    “So we’re the only ones on the ind? Did you do something to the carst night?” Rayna rubbed her


    temples as she tried her best to recall what had happened the night before. “I remember feeling sleepy


    after smelling the faint scent of violets.”


    Jefferson did not answer her as he continued peeling the hard-boiled eggs.


    Noticing that, Rayna found her heart sinking. Still, she clung to thest bit of hope in her. “Were you…


    lying to me about Jessie too?”


    “Eat first.” Jefferson put the peeled egg onto her te. “We’ll talk once you’re done eating.”


    “Tell me!”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    At her insistence, Jefferson pushed his sses higher and whispered, “Sorry, Belle.”


    “You’re too much! How could you lie to me about Jessie?” Rayna could not maintain her cool at all. “So


    you were lying about telling Curtis, weren’t you? You just wanted to avoid him and take me here, right?”


    “Yes,” he answered reluctantly.


    “Why—” Rayna wanted to lose her temper, but she could not because she owed the man. “I told you I’ll


    leave with you after giving birth to the children. Jefferson, you didn’t need to do this.”


    Jefferson curled his lips. When he spoke again, his voice was tinged with loneliness. “Belle, haven’t


    you realized? You’ve been biased toward Curtis. When you give birth to the babies, you’ll still stay by


    his side. Why would you still think about me by then?”


    Rayna froze. She could not find the words to refute that.


    “I can wait forever, but I can’t stand watching you with another man.” Jefferson took her hand and held


    her hand to his cheek. “Belle, I’m a living human. I get jealous too.”


    Rayna continued staring at him in silence.


    When he started kissing the back of her hand with his cold lips, she couldn’t help shuddering.


    “Belle, you’re the only one I have.”


    “Jefferson, I’m not the only one by your side.” Rayna could not bring herself to be cruel to him. As she


    reached out to ruffle his hair, she said, “You have your father, Mr. Faymon, and Ms. Sandy. We all love


    you.”


    Jefferson chuckled and lifted his head to look at her. “You don’t know what she said to me when I sent


    her off from the hospital that day, do you?”


    “What did she say?”


    Jefferson took out his phone and yed an audio recording for her.


    A few secondster, Sandy’s voice came out of the speakers.


    Rayna could not understand what he was doing at first, but once she listened to the entirety of Sandy’s


    conversation with Jefferson, she slowly covered her mouth with her hand as tears sprang to her eyes.


    She had thought Sandy was friendlier to Jefferson because Sandy had started epting him as her


    son.


    Yet the reality was not what it seemed to be.


    Before Rayna could rpose herself, Jefferson muttered, “Belle, I’m dying.”


    “What?” Rayna cried out in a panic. “Didn’t you take the med? Why—”


    Jefferson shook his head. “I didn’t. I’ve been keeping the med instead.”


    “I asked Mr. York about it. He told me he had done a checkup for you.” Rayna’s hand was shaking. “He


    said you were doing fine and could live for more than thirty years.”


    “I asked him to tell you all that.” Jefferson smiled and held her trembling hands. “I was scared that you


    wouldn’t want me, so I didn’t take it. I was thinking about how pointless it would be to live that long if


    you didn’t want me.”


    “No. I’ll always be by your side,” Rayna promised. “Did you bring the med with you? Take it now!”


    “It’s gone.”


    Rayna’s eyes widened. “What do you mean, it’s gone?”


    Jefferson stopped hiding it from her. “After Selena died, Curtis and I figured that Mr. Nicholson would


    not let the matter go so easily. However, he’s a man of connections, so he wouldn’t be easy to deal


    with. Theodore was still in aa. He did not have any relevant strings to pull, and neither did I. We


    could only seek help from others, but you know how hefty the price would be to seek help from others


    for something like this.” Jefferson picked up the bowl and brought a spoon of soup to her lips. “Drink


    some while I continue telling you about it, okay?”


    When Rayna lowered her head, her tears fell into the bowl.


    “Don’t cry.” Jefferson wiped her tears away and continued feeding her the soup. “We went to Mr.


    Winton, and Mr. Winton asked for the ivory chess set. But that’s an item in the museum, so Curtis gave


    Aoba Project to Mr. Winton’s son instead.”


    Rayna stiffened. “Aoba Project… was with Curtis?”


    “I only found out about thatter on,” Jefferson said. “He said it was a gift for you. Belle, I’m such a


    failure, right? I couldn’t even give you anything decent.”


    Rayna shook her head and quickly lifted her arm. “You did. This pink diamond is a good example. I like


    it very—”


    It was then she noticed that there was nothing on her finger.


    “Curtis was the one who ordered the pink diamond. He wanted to give it to you, and in the end, he was


    the one who paid for it too.” Jefferson used a tissue to wipe the soup from the corners of her lips. “He…


    is such a sly man.”


    Rayna’s mouth went dry, but she still asked, “Then what happened?”


    Jefferson gave her a small smile before continuing, “That gift isn’t enough if we wanted to get rid of Mr.


    Nicholson’s men for good. So, Iter went to Mr. Winton and gave him that medicine.”


    “Why are you so dumb?” Rayna snapped at him as tears rolled down her cheeks. “We’ll go to Mr.


    Winton right now. We’ll beg him to give us the medicine back. He can have anything he—”


    “Money and power don’t matter to someone of his position.” Jefferson wiped her tears away. “But that


    medicine, which can prolong his life for a few more years, is what he’ll want.”


    Rayna wailed, “You can’t do this! You promised me… You promised me you’ll do your best to keep


    living…”


    “Don’t cry. Don’t cry.” Rayna’s bloodshot eyes pained him, and he kissed the end of her eyes.


    “Everything’s fine as long as you’re fine. I didn’t lose here, and neither did Curtis win.”


    “We’ll go to Mr. York now,” Rayna choked out, begging. “Let’s go back, okay? I’m sure Mr. York can find


    a way to deal with this. I won’t leave you.”


    Jefferson shook his head. “The bad cells are spreading fast. There’s nothing he can do too.”


    “Please… Please don’t do this to me…” Rayna’s teardrops fell onto the man’s arm. “If I didn’t go out


    with Carl, we wouldn’t have bumped into Selena…”


    When Rayna saw Noel’s fall from grace, she guessed that Curtis and Jefferson were behind it.


    But she never knew that they had paid such a huge price for it.


    “She wanted to kill you. Even if you didn’t head out at that time, she would’ve still targeted you the next


    time you went out,” Jefferson said. “Honestly, both Curtis and I feel more at ease after her death.”


    Jefferson’s warm thumb caressed her cheek. “I know I don’t have long to live. I wish topensate for


    everything I couldn’t give you back then—to bring you to ces you like. I’ve hired men to build a


    mansion on this ind ording to your preferences because I hope that you’ll be happy here. This


    ce is warm, and it’s a good ce for you to stay before giving birth to the babies.”
