Chapter 663
When Rayna woke up the following day. she reached out to feel the bedsheet and noticed it was
already cold. Apparently. Curtis left a long while ago.
“Curtis, Curtis.” She called out liis name, but no one responded.
Rayna got up and lifted the nket to get down from the bed. She groped around the bedside out of
habit and felt her cane ced on the left side of the bedside table. She grabbed the stick and searched
blindly for the way to the door. However, she didn''t feel the chair in front of her with the cane, resulting
in her tripping over the furniture when she moved forward.
A loud bang sounded from within the room, arousing the attention of the bodyguard standing guard
outside the door. “Mrs. Faymon. are you all right?” The bodyguard didn''t dare to open the door and
enter the room casually, so he could only knock on the door and inquire about the situation inside the
room.
Sitting on the floor. Rayna said in the door''s direction. "I''m fine.”
A hint of grievance and resignationced her hoarse voice. She reached out to grope around the floor,
wanting to retrieve her cane but to no avail, even after doing that for a long while.
At the same time, someone opened the initially shut door from the outside, followed by the entry of a
bodyguard in ck. The bodyguard was shocked when he saw Rayna sitting on the floor. He hurriedly
stepped forward to help her up. “Mrs. Faymon. what are you...”
Rayna didn''t expect someone woulde into the room. She was slightly taken aback but didn''t reject
the bodyguard''s assistance. “I stumbled on a chair and fell just now. Can you please help me find my
stick?”
The bodyguard scanned liis surroundings and finally fixated his gaze on the spot below the coffee
table. "Stay here, and don''t move too much. I''ll help you pick it up.”
He bent down to retrieve the cane as he spoke and returned it to Rayna. “Mr. Faymon went out to do
something. He instructed us to take good care of you before he left.”
"Okay." she replied nonchntly. Under the bodyguard''s guidance, she walked up to the couch and
took a seat.
"Do you need me to help you with anything else?” the bodyguard asked thoughtfully instead of exiting
the room immediately after she sat down.
“I''m a little thirsty.” she said.
In fact, she wasn''t thirsty. However, she had just tripped over a chair and was informed about Curtis''
departure. The two ovepping incidents prompted her to require some time to recollect herself.
Otherwise, she was afraid she might experience an emotional outburst.
She didn''t even need to probe further to figure out where Curtis had gone.
Last night, they made a promise to climb up the mountain again today, but Curtis went back on his
word. Rayna was dissatisfied, but she understood liis intention of not wanting her to overexert herself.
The bodyguard poured a ss of warm water and handed it to her. “Mrs. Faymon. here''s the water.”
She received the ss and cautiously took a sip of water before asking again. “When did Mr. Faymon
leave?”
"He left approximately an hour ago.” Another bodyguard, standing at one side, answered the question.
After saying that, he shot a look at his colleague, who was in close proximity to Rayna. hinting at him to
keep some distance from her.
Still, the first bodyguard clearly didn''t take his colleague''s reminder seriously. He stood next to Rayna
and waited for her to finish the ss of water. Then, he took the ss from her and ced it on the
coffee table.
“If there''s nothing else, we''ll take our leave.” With that, the bodyguard turned around to exit the room,
but Rayna halted him. “Hold on.”
He spun on liis heel and gazed at her in bafflement. "Is there anything else I can do for you?”
“Can you help me bring over my phone? It should be on the bedside table." Rayna said.
The bodyguard walked toward the bedside table. He looked around but didn''t see a phone on the
tabletop. Then, he searched the drawer but didn''t find the device inside either. "The phone is not here.”
After hearing that. Rayna was stunned for a few seconds before asking. “Can I borrow your phone for a
while?”
The bodyguard hesitated after listening to her request. He exchanged nces with his colleague, and
after receiving thetter''s nod of approval, he handed his phone to Rayna. The next moment, he was
reminded that she had lost her vision, so he inquired. “Do you wish to make a phone call. Mis.
Faymon?”
“Yes.” Rayna nodded. “I''ll tell you the phone number, and you can help me dial it.”
The bodyguard grunted in agreement and dialed Curtis'' number, as mentioned by Rayna. before
handing the device to her.
Rayna held the phone and waited for the call to be connected. A disappointed look spread across her
face when Curtis didn''t answer after a long while. “Just hang up the call.”

The bodyguard took the phone and ended the call.
“That''s all. You may leave now.” She waved her hand at the bodyguards, gesturing for them to leave.
The bodyguards'' leader nced at Rayna worryingly before joining liis colleague to exit the room.
Rayna sat on the couch for a few moments before slowly getting up and gi oping her way to the
bathroom.
Meanwhile. Curtis. Robin, and the bodyguards from Noiwal City were looking for traces of the ces
the old doctor had lived on the mountain.
“Mr. Faymon. didn''t Mr. Xavier mention the old traditional medicine practitioner had passed away? Why
are you still keen on carrying out another search?” Robin asked.
Curtis replied. "We can''t trust everything we hear from others. If that old traditional medicine
practitioner had truly passed away. Dr. Galopin wouldn''t have told me to look for him again unless...”
Unless Dr. Galopin''s goal is not for us to locate the old traditional medicine practitioner.
Curtis stopped abruptly in his tracks and instructed his subordinates around him, "Stop! There''s no
need to search anymore.”
After saying that, he took out liis phone to make a call. Unfortunately, he couldn''t receive any signal on
his phone in the deep mountain.
“Mr. Yeast, call Rayna. Hurry up!” Curtis held his phone and walked around, attempting to find a ce
with a signal to make the call. At the same time, he told Robin to contact Rayna.
Back in the hotel, when Rayna walked out of the bathroom, she sensed someone else inside the room
and thought Curtis had returned. “Curtis?”
Instead of responding at once, that person shifted liis gaze onto Rayna and sized her up before
uttering. “Ms. Griffith.”
“You''re not Curtis. Who are you? How did you get in here?” Rayna wielded her cane defensively in
front of her while listening intently to that man''s voice. “Your voice..." Hearing his deep and hoarse
voice, she felt like she had heard it somewhere.”
“Don''t be afraid. Ms. Griffith. I mean no harm.” He went up to her as he spoke. Rayna sensed his
approach and instinctively stepped backward. "What do you want?”
“Ms. Griffith. I told you I don''t intend to harm you. I just want a favor from you." He stretched out his
hand at her as he spoke. “I''m interested in something in you. so I''m wondering if you''re willing to follow
me somewhere."
“Something on me?” Grasping the gist of liis speech. Rayna instantaneously grew wary. "Do you take
part in the human organ trafficking business?”
Rayna didn''t know she was afflicted with parasites. Hence, when that man mentioned he was
interested in something in her. she instinctively thought he was referring to her organs.
