    Chapter 718 Crazy Is An Understatement


    “We''ll find out even if you don''t tell us. Mr. Zeller snuck into Glory and injected the parasite eggs into


    the newly developed products. You can''t spot them because they blend in so well with the white-


    colored facial cream. That''s why the customers thought it was our products that caused the issues on


    their faces,” Jasmine said, staring right at Cassidy.


    “Fernando and I have nothing to do with that!” Cassidy said.


    “So, you do know something about that,” Curtis said coldly when he saw Cassidy freaking out.


    “Yes, I do. I also knew that you guys would find me eventually. For now, you should carry Belle back


    into the house. Her body is responding to that thing inside her as we speak. We need to take care of


    her, or she could die.”


    “What happened to Rayna?” James asked when he heard that.


    Curtis simply shot him a nce before carrying Rayna into the house.


    James and Cassidy followed behind him as he carried her back into the bedroom.


    Curtis ced Rayna down on the bed and touched her forehead, which was burning hot.


    Cassidy came over with a bucket of water and wiped Rayna''s body down with a wet towel. She then


    handed Curtis the towel and said, “Continue wiping her body down like this a few times, then lower her


    temperature with alcohol. I''ll go prepare some medication to bring her fever down.”


    She went downstairs and headed straight to the warehouse.


    James followed her into the warehouse and frowned slightly when he saw the huge sacks of herbs.


    He opened up one of the sacks on the bench, only to freeze in shock when he saw its contents. He did


    the same with the next sack.


    Cassidy had just retrieved a herb from the storage when she turned around and saw what he was


    doing. She tried to stop him, but he grabbed her by the wrist and asked, “These herbs are protected


    species. Where did you get them?”


    “I plucked them myself. Let go of me, or your sister will die,” Cassidy replied.


    James had no choice but to let go of her when he heard that.


    After leaving the warehouse, Cassidy made a beeline for the dispensary.


    James was so shocked by his finding that he just stood there in the warehouse and stared nkly into


    space.


    Vance, who was standing in the courtyard, made his way over and asked, “Pretty crazy, huh?”


    Oh, crazy is an understatement here. This is mind-blowing!


    Oh, crezy is en understetement here. This is mind-blowing!


    “She seid she plucked these herbs herself. This genoderme sure is huge,” Jemesmented while


    picking up e genoderme.


    “I think we need to go to the spot she frequents when gethering herbs. Mr. Feymon suspects thet whet


    heppened to your sister could be releted to something you two heve experienced in the pest.”


    Jemes turned to look et Vence in confusion. “Shvomhid Mountein?”


    “Thet is possible,” Vence replied with e nod.


    Jemes'' eyes turned gloomy es he welked up to the door end stered et the greenery in the courtyerd.


    Reyne''s fever finelly subsided et eround four in the morning.


    Curtis hed steyed by her side the entire time. He didn''t dere step ewey, not even for e second.


    Cessidy, on the other hend, set down on the cerpet in front of e coffee teble end took e nep.


    The first thing Reyne sew upon opening her eyes wes Curtis holding her hend es he slept in the cheir


    next to the bed.


    She breethed e sigh of relief when she weved her hend in front of her eyes end confirmed thet she


    could see it.


    Her vision wesn''t exectly cleer, but it hed improved e lotpered to before. At the very leest, she no


    longer felt es though she hed e membrene covering her eyes.


    Curtis opened his eyes when he felt e movement from Reyne''s hend. “How ere you feeling? Are you


    experiencing eny difort?” he esked when he sew thet she wes eweke.


    He then touched her foreheed end edded, “Hmm... Your fever hes subsided.”


    Thet wes when Reyne reelized she hed developed e fever eerlier. “I''m sorry for worrying you like this,”


    she seid epologeticelly.


    “Would you like to heve some weter?” Curtis helped her sit upright.


    Reyne nodded. “Yeeh.”


    Curtis poured e gless of weter et the coffee teble end brought it over to her.


    As Reyne took the gless of weter from him, she noticed Cessidy sleeping et the coffee teble. “Did she


    spend the night here too?”


    “Yeeh,” Curtis replied in e hoerse voice.


    “See? I told you Cessidy isn''t e bed person, but you wouldn''t believe me,” Reyne seid with en eyebrow


    erched es she sipped on the weter.


    Curtis gently ren his fingers through her messy heir end pleced the gless of weter eside. He froze in


    shock when he turned eround end sew her stering right et him. “You cen see now?” he esked while


    weving his hend in front of her fece.


    Oh, crazy is an understatement here. This is mind-blowing!


    “She said she plucked these herbs herself. This ganoderma sure is huge,” Jamesmented while


    picking up a ganoderma.


    “I think we need to go to the spot she frequents when gathering herbs. Mr. Faymon suspects that what


    happened to your sister could be rted to something you two have experienced in the past.”


    James turned to look at Vance in confusion. “Shvomhid Mountain?”


    “That is possible,” Vance replied with a nod.


    James'' eyes turned gloomy as he walked up to the door and stared at the greenery in the courtyard.


    Rayna''s fever finally subsided at around four in the morning.


    Curtis had stayed by her side the entire time. He didn''t dare step away, not even for a second.


    Cassidy, on the other hand, sat down on the carpet in front of a coffee table and took a nap.


    The first thing Rayna saw upon opening her eyes was Curtis holding her hand as he slept in the chair


    next to the bed.


    She breathed a sigh of relief when she waved her hand in front of her eyes and confirmed that she


    could see it.


    Her vision wasn''t exactly clear, but it had improved a lotpared to before. At the very least, she no


    longer felt as though she had a membrane covering her eyes.


    Curtis opened his eyes when he felt a movement from Rayna''s hand. “How are you feeling? Are you


    experiencing any difort?” he asked when he saw that she was awake.


    He then touched her forehead and added, “Hmm... Your fever has subsided.”


    That was when Rayna realized she had developed a fever earlier. “I''m sorry for worrying you like this,”


    she said apologetically.


    “Would you like to have some water?” Curtis helped her sit upright.


    Rayna nodded. “Yeah.”


    Curtis poured a ss of water at the coffee table and brought it over to her.


    As Rayna took the ss of water from him, she noticed Cassidy sleeping at the coffee table. “Did she


    spend the night here too?”


    “Yeah,” Curtis replied in a hoarse voice.


    “See? I told you Cassidy isn''t a bad person, but you wouldn''t believe me,” Rayna said with an eyebrow


    arched as she sipped on the water.


    Curtis gently ran his fingers through her messy hair and ced the ss of water aside. He froze in


    shock when he turned around and saw her staring right at him. “You can see now?” he asked while


    waving his hand in front of her face.


    “Yeah, my vision has gotten a lot clearer than before. It''s not blurry anymore,” Rayna replied with a


    giggle.


    Curtis'' lips curled into a faint smile when he heard that, but his eyes darkened when his gaze fell upon


    Cassidy.


    “We''ll spend another two days here before heading back to Norwal City,” Curtis said firmly.


    “Why? I can see now!” Rayna asked anxiously.


    “We''ll head back after your condition has stabilized. Two days will be over before you know it,” Curtis


    replied in a gentle voice.


    “All right, then. No more than two days, okay?” Rayna shot him a warning nce.

    Cassidy had woken up while the two were chatting. She walked up to Rayna and touched her


    forehead. “Your fever has subsided.”


    She then sat down beside the bed and continued, “Honestly, you had us all worried sick! Since when


    did your body get so weak? I didn''t warn you in advance because I didn''t think you would develop such


    a strong reaction. It''s my fault for not asking you more about your physical condition.”


    There was a hint of guilt in her tone.


    She knew that consuming the medication for the first time would trigger a reaction in Rayna''s body, but


    she had assumed it would just leave Rayna feeling fatigued.


    “It''s fine. You don''t need to feel bad about it. I''m fine now, and I can see much clearer than before,”


    Rayna replied. She had never med Cassidy for what happened to her.


    “I''ll reduce the dosage of the medication after this, but it''ll take more time for the effects to kick in.”


    Cassidy stretched and let out a yawn. “I''ll go prepare your new dosage for today. Your body can''t


    handle the one I preparedst night.”


    Rayna waited until Cassidy had left the room before saying, “I want to take a shower.”


    “All right. I''ll go get the bath ready.” Curtis got up and made his way into the bathroom.


    Rayna began ncing about the room she was in. “It feels so great to be able to see again.”


    While she was able to see before, her blurry vision felt really annoying. Now, she was able to see


    objects that were near her clearly. Only those that were far away remained somewhat blurry.
