Chapter 689


    Chapter 689 Haste Makes Waste


    Everyone in Yartran knew that Isaac was a mild-mannered man.


    Nevertheless, Sheena was pretty sure she saw a vicious look in his eyes earlier.


    Hearing that, Jovan tightened his grip on the ss before exining, “I''ve overworked myself. Perhaps


    I haven''t been getting enough rest recently.”


    He took a sip of the water and ced the ss on the bedside cab.


    Sheena ced her hand on Jovan''s forehead, noticing that while his temperature had decreased, it


    was still above the normal range.


    Five minutester, Remi Veil, Isaac''s assistant, came in with Ghiin. “Mr. Jovan.”


    “Sheena, you should get back to work.” Jovan nced at Ghiin and added, “Ghiin will take care


    of me.”


    Sheena turned over her shoulder to nce at Jovan. Standing up, she walked past Ghiin and shot


    him a pointed look.


    Seeing that, Remi left the room behind Sheena.


    Outside, Sheena spun around and stared at the shut door, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “Have


    you noticed anything strange about Jovantely?” she asked Remi.


    Remi seemed surprised to hear her question. He shed a smile and answered, “Perhaps Mr. Jovan


    didn''t get to rest well as he is recently busy with work and weing guests. Don''t worry, Ms. Powell.”


    With that, Remi walked out of Jovan''s office, with Sheena following closely behind him.


    In the suite, Ghiin rolled up Jovan''s sleeve carefully. The sight of a ck line on Jovan''s left arm


    caused him to furrow his brows slightly.


    Jovan asked carefully, “Does the pain mean...”


    Ghiin retrieved a ck bottle from his medical kit and extracted a droplet of liquid, spreading it


    across the ck line on Jovan''s arm. It disappeared in a sh.


    “It might''ve been agitated.” Ghiin kept the bottle and exined calmly, “There are two of them, so if


    anything happens to one, the other will respond. This is a normal reaction.”


    “When will it end?” A malicious glint appeared in his cerulean blue eyes.


    “Haste makes waste,” Ghiin replied calmly. He retrieved another bottle of medication and handed it


    to Jovan. “You may experience this again in the next few days. This should provide some relief.”


    Jovan took the bottle and nced at it. “How are things going there?”


    “Everything is going ording to n,” Ghiin revealed. He pulled something out of his pocket and


    gave it to Jovan. “This is the listening device.”


    Jovan took the listening device and switched it on. After inserting it into his ear, he could immediately


    hear faint noisesing from it.


    “I found it!” Cassidy squatted down and finally found a nk through the iron fence. She gave it a hard


    push but failed to budge it.


    “I''ll handle it,” Curtis said as he approached her. He extended his arm through the iron fence and


    pushed. The fence promptly retracted.


    One part of the white wall rotated and revealed the window hidden within.


    The window was secured with a biometric eye scanner lock, which Cassidy unlocked with her eye,


    allowing them to enter the house.


    The room they stepped into was the one where Cassidy prepared her reports. It was full of medical


    equipment.


    Curtis strode out of the room and headed to the living room. “Rayna? Rayna! Wake up!”


    Raynay on the couch, pale and unconscious.


    Cassidy came after him. Her eyes widened when she noticed the ck line on Rayna''s wrist.


    “What happened to her?” Curtis asked, for he had also spotted the ck line.


    “The parasite must''ve woken up. After waking up from a deep sleep, it will excrete the toxin from its


    body,” Cassidy exined solemnly.


    “How do we get rid of it?” Curtis cradled an unconscious Rayna anxiously. “You know how to do it,


    right? Say something!”


    “I specialize in herbs, not parasites.” Cassidy gave him an exasperated look. “We need to find


    someone who specializes in parasites to help Belle.”


    “The Burke family?” Curtis asked.


    “It doesn''t have to be them, as it''s hard to find the Burke family,” Cassidy said, approaching to check


    Rayna''s pulse and eyes. “The parasite only stirred briefly and hasn''t fully awakened yet.”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Cassidy then went to the equipment room to retrieve her acupuncture kit.


    “What are you doing?” Curtis inquired.


    “Purging the toxin,” Cassidy exined. She retrieved two needles and punctured the end of the ck


    line on Rayna''s wrist, then inserted needles into each of her fingers.


    “Ow!” Rayna moaned despite her unconscious state.


    “Hold her hand. Don''t let her move,” Cassidy reminded.


    Hearing that, Curtis held Rayna''s hands to stop her from moving. “Rayna, hang on. It will be over


    soon.”


    “The ten fingers are connected to the heart, so it is natural for her to feel pain,” Cassidy revealed. She


    grabbed Rayna''s fingers and squeezed them hard to allow the ck blood to flow out of the wounds.


    She only stopped when the blood was red again.


    Curtis saw a puddle of ck blood that smelled pungent on the white tiles.


    “Why does the blood smell different?” he asked after observing Rayna, who was lying in his arms.


    “That is the blood parasite''s blood, not Rayna''s.” Cassidy took a tube of ointment from her medical kit


    and spread it over Rayna''s fingers. “If that thing stays in her body for too long, it might merge with her


    blood and affect her nerve system. I don''t know what will happen to her once that happens.”


    After saying that, Cassidy got up from the couch. Suddenly, a thought urred to her as she shot


    Fluffy a thoughtful gaze.


    Yasmin was patting Fluffy. She had also heard some of Cassidy''s words. “Ms. Cassidy, Nando told me


    that blood parasitese in pairs, and they influence each other.”


    “Yes, theye in pairs,” Cassidy replied as she packed up her needles. Suddenly, a thought struck


    her as she turned over her shoulder to look at Curtis. “You said Belle was involved in a car ident


    previously, right?”


    “Yes.” Curtis nodded.


    “What happened next?” Cassidy urged. “What else happened besides the car ident?”


    Curtis answered grimly, “At the hospital, Rayna was kidnapped when she was still in aa.”


    “Where was she taken?” Cassidy questioned.


    “Yartran,” Curtis replied truthfully.


    “Yartran?” Cassidy nced at Rayna before bending down to swipe her hair from her shoulders and


    check her nape. “Yasmin, bring me my torchlight.”


    “Which one?” Yasmin asked.


    “The ocean blue one,” Cassidy responded. She then unbuttoned Rayna''s cor and checked her


    shoulders carefully.


    “Eh? Where is it? Why is it not here?” Cassidy couldn''t find any scars on Rayna''s body.


    “What are you looking for?” Curtis was baffled.


    “The spot where the parasite was inserted. There should be a scar,” Cassidy exined. Yasmin soon


    trotted over with the torchlight. “Here you go, Ms. Cassidy.”


    Cassidy took the torchlight from her and switched it on. “Lay Belle down on the couch and unbutton her


    clothes.”


    Curtisid Rayna on the couch and unbuttoned her shirt as told to reveal her innerwear.
