His Precious Love Chapter 82
Chapter 82 Priceless
“That’s because I only feel alive when I’m working.”
Curtis’ voice was soft and t. All Rayna could hear was the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind.
“Mr. Faymon, what did you say?” she asked as she did not hear his response.
She wanted to lean in to hear him better but ended up tripping over some veins on the ground. Just as
she was about to knock her head against his back, he turned around in the nick of time and held her
firmly. It was as though he saw iting.
“Ms. Gand, the ground is uneven,” Curtis said in resignation. Sometimes, I feel that she’s brilliant,
and at times, I’d have the opposite opinion. Can’t she walk properly?
From then on, he held her wrist and moved forward while cutting down the shrubs with the other hand.
Rayna’s heart skipped a beat, and her ears flushed as she looked at her wrist that was within his grip.
Around ten minutester, they finally reached the vige and saw that the surrounding buildings were
simple but solid. With various vegetables growing around them, the ce looked full of vitality.
“Wait!” Rayna shouted at Curtis. Then, she grabbed two handfuls of soil and rubbed them on her face
and arms before doing the same for him. Her actions caused him to knit his brows tightly.
“We can’t just go in like this. Let’s pretend we got lost,” she exined.
Curtis was at a loss for words.
“Someone’sing, Mr. Faymon!” Seeing a man approaching with a hoe over his shoulders as if he
was out to farm, Rayna whispered into Curtis’ ear, “Think on your feet.” With that, she proceeded to lie
on the ground, acting as though she had fainted.
Curtis did not respond.
When he noticed that the man was heading in their direction, he quickly squatted down and carried
Rayna into his arms. She looks like a fugitive with her face covered with soil. A look of amusement
shed across his eyes.
Once again, he was impressed by her.
Secondster, the man, who was usually an alert person, put his guard down upon seeing how
disheveled Curtis and Rayna looked. He then spoke to Curtis in a foreignnguage.
Thetter did not understand what the man was saying but nodded when he noticed him pointing
toward the vige. With Rayna in his arms, Curtis followed the man into the vige, and they soon
entered a house.
After a short while, a woman with a headscarf walked in with a bowl of water that looked as clear as
spring water.
Curtis took the bowl of water from the woman and drank a few mouthfuls first, pretending to be
parched. Upon ensuring that it was safe to consume, he fed it to Rayna.
Rayna yed along by taking a few sips of the water before gradually opening her eyes.
“Oh, my goodness! We didn’t die!” she eximed joyfully as she leaned into Curtis’ embrace. Tears of
joy even flowed down her cheeks.
Curtis’ eyebrows twitched. Kristie isn’t the only one who can act well! This woman is also quite
impressive in acting.
Rayna did not hug him for long. Soon, she let go of him and wiped off the tears on her face. Acting as if
she had just seen the woman, she asked curiously in Uronian, “May I know where are we?”
“Y-You can speak ournguage?” The woman looked at Rayna in shock. Slightly excited, she
continued, “I thought only the people in our vige knew thisnguage.”
Because Uronian was anguage that was close to extinction and the vigers could not understand
thenguage spoken by outsiders, they relied on hunting for survival.
In response, Rayna answered, “My grandpa taught me thenguage. He told me he had grown up in
the northern region. No matter where he went, he made sure to remember his origin. Unfortunately…
my grandpa passed away when I was young.”
“May God bless you.” The woman pushed Curtis aside and held Rayna’s hands. Gazing at the younger
woman as if thetter were her daughter, she asked, “You must’ve gone through a lot of hardships,
right?”
Rayna nodded with teary eyes. “My dad wouldn’t ept Zahar because he’s poor and mute. Instead,
he wanted me to marry a sixty-year-old man. However, Zahar and I are truly in love. I’m willing to do
anything for him.”
Hearing that, the woman swept a nce at Curtis and asked, “Is he Zahar? Are you two married?”
“Yes. You saw how much he loves me, right? I eloped with him. But I didn’t expect my dad would get so
mad that he kept jeopardizing our business. We couldn’t stay in Mapleton anymore, so we brought our
goods here. We nned on selling the goods so that we could provide for our child. Unfortunately, we
lost our way and our truck at the same time,” Rayna uttered.
“Where’s your child?” the woman asked.
“I just got pregnant not long ago.” Rayna caressed her abdomen and put on a pitiful expression. “I don’t
care if my dad hates me, but this child belongs to Zahar and me. I want to raise our child well.”
Touched by Rayna’s words, the woman pulled her into her embrace and patted her back as an act of
comfort. “Poor child. I’m a mother, so I know how tough it is to be pregnant. If you don’t mind, you and
your husband are wee to stay the night here,” she said.
“We wouldn’t want to trouble you too much,” Rayna replied. “Perhaps you could give us some food.
That would be more than enough. Thank you.”
“You wouldn’t be troubling me!” The woman did not mind providing shelter for them. While looking at
Rayna’s abdomen, she said, “Besides, you just got pregnant. You shouldn’t move around too much.
Just stay here.”
Rayna did not reject her anymore. “You’re so kind. Thank you.”
The woman’s heart swelled with adoration. With a bright smile on her face, she tucked Rayna in and
stood up to leave.
Before she left, she gave Curtis a look of admiration and pity.
Frowning, Curtis watched the door close before turning toward Rayna. He smiled when he saw the
tears in her eyes. “Ms. Gand, your acting skills are marvelous.”
“Don’t talk, Mr. Faymon.” Rayna signaled for him to keep quiet. In a low voice, she said, “I told that
woman we’re a married couple. We have a small business together, and you’re mute.”
Curtis’ lips twitched, and he voiced his confusion, “Why am I a mute?”
“To gain their sympathy, of course.” Rayna beckoned him toe closer. Once he did, she added,
“We’ll stay here tonight and go out to see what the situation is like when tomorrowes. By the way,
what’s the thing that’s worth one billion?”
Curtis took out a stic bag from his pocket and opened theyers of wrappers, revealing a withered
nt kept within. A faint fragrance could be whiffed.
Does he take me for a fool? Rayna pointed at the flower and stared at him in shock. “This? One
billion?”
He grunted an acknowledgment in response before exining, “Aponent extracted from this nt
can regenerate cells and dy the aging of the human body.”
“What’s so special about that?” she asked. “Now, medical researchers worldwide have already
developed a lot of medicines to dy the aging of the human body. It’s just a matter of affordability
these days.”
“The medicines avable internationally can dy aging but can’t regenerate cells.” Curtis quirked his
lips and added, “Cells have a short lifespan and cannot regenerate. Thisponent, however, can
make that happen. It can regenerate cells in the human body with a sess rate of sixty percent. It
warms and nourishes various organs in the body, and it also has a significant effect on heart diseases.”
Dumbfounded by his exnation, Rayna did not respond for a while.
Although she was not a biology student, she knew what he was trying to convey. Basically, the thing in
his hand was akin to the medicine of immortality, capable of causing the whole world to go crazy for it.
“H-How is this thing only worth one billion?” Rayna held the nt and eximed in a trembling voice,
“Things that can reverse aging are priceless!”
“But how is it possible that only a handful of people know about a treasure like this, Mr. Faymon?” she
then asked.
“Didn’t you see?” Curtis jerked his chin up and uttered in a deep voice, “It can only be found in this
ce. Otherwise, why would I have brought you here?”
“That’s true.” Rayna smacked her forehead. How silly of me!
Chapter 83 Uncle Curtis Calls Her Darling
Rayna learned from Curtis that Gabriel was the one who discovered the nt after obtaining a piece of
paper with the location from a local citizen in Tyrandas by a stroke of luck.
When he had derived its value, he immediately reported it to Curtis. s, the location indicated on the
paper was written in Uronian, which was close to extinction. Therefore, they expended tremendous
effort to find someone who could read thenguage.
Nevertheless, she merely felt like snickering at all that.
Well, but of course, they’ve expended much effort. After all, I’ve had a taste of Uncle Curtis’ interlocked
stratagems!
As the sky outside the window gradually darkened, the woman with the headscarf came in again and
offered to bring them out for dinner.
Unable to turn her down, Rayna left the house with Curtis.
Upon arriving at the courtyard, she found that it was exceedingly bright. It turned out that the huge
rocks ced around the ce had been coated with ayer of vegetable dye. At night, they were just
like the moon.
Several nkets made of animal fur wereid out in the open space, with small tables on top of them.
The men were sitting together and chatting, whereas the children sat at a table by themselves.
Meanwhile, the women were preparing food.
The atmosphere was incredibly merry, and happiness was written on the face of every single individual.
“It’s really nice here.” Rayna could not help feeling envious of the scene before her that looked like a
perfect picture, serene and heartwarming. Not only does one age slower here, but there’s also nothing
to worry about.
“In that case, stay for a few more days,” the woman named Aisha urged smilingly.
Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
She then led Rayna and Curtis over to a group of people. “Mr. Yildiz, this is Sumeyye and her husband,
Zahar. They were out to do business when they identally got lost.”
The man she spoke to was the vige chief, Murat Yildiz. He appeared to be about thirty years old with
some wrinkles around his eyes, young and robust. If Rayna had not known about the nt, she would
have mistaken him for a man in his prime.
Ever since she came out, she had noticed that there were basically no elderly people in the vige.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Yildiz. Thank you for taking us in. We’re truly grateful,” Rayna gushed, having
grown all the more proficient in thenguage. At the same time, she bowed to Murat.
Surprise flooded Murat. “Aisha was right. You can really speak ournguage. I thought no one else
could converse in it besides those in this vige of ours.”
He proceeded to arrange for Rayna and Curtis to sit beside him before talking up a storm.
Rayna had long since concocted a wless background for herself and Curtis. She answered all the
questions from Murat while acting pitifully from time to time. Throughout it all, Curtis sat at the side
quietly since he was ying a “mute.”
A few minutes into their conversation, Murat suddenly asked, “So, what kind of business are you both
involved in exactly?”
At that, Rayna plunged into a dilemma.
D*rn! I forgot to ask Uncle Curtis about this in the room earlier!
She promptly nudged Curtis with her elbow without turning to him. “He’s asking about our business, Mr.
Faymon!”
Taking a piece of tbread from the te, Curtis fed it to her and replied in a low voice, “Vegetable and
cotton seeds.”
His breath brushed against her ear, making her shudder. Rayna bit his finger in retaliation.
After hurriedly stuffing the tbread into her mouth, she answered with a calm demeanor, “We sell
vegetable and cotton seeds.”
“Vegetable seeds?” Murat’s interest was immediately piqued. Thend in the vige was suitable for
cultivation, but they could notmunicate with outsiders because of thenguage barrier. As such,
they were unable to trade for those things.
Consequently, theycked vegetables the most. All their food came from hunting.
Nodding, Raynamented sorrowfully, “My family is in such a business, but my father doesn’t like
Zahar. I couldn’t sell off the seeds I took from home, so I could only bring them here to sell.”
“May God bless you richly. It so happens that weck vegetables and cotton here. If you’re agreeable,
I’ll trade for them with furs,” Murat proposed.
In response, she shook her head and uttered sincerely, “No, no, you’re behaving too much of a
stranger with us, Mr. Yildiz. I’ll just give those seeds to you. If Ms. Aisha hadn’t given me some food, I
would’ve probably lost my child. I owe you all a debt of gratitude. Regretfully, we lost our way, so I don’t
know where the vehicle carrying the goods is.”
“It’s okay. Just have a good rest with Zahar tonight. I’ll send someone out to look for it tomorrow,” Murat
dered.
“Thank you, Mr. Yildiz.”
When the conversation finally ended, Rayna breathed a long sigh of relief.
Seizing the opportunity while Murat turned to speak to someone else, she rted the earlier exchange
to Curtis.
After Curtis had listened to it all, admiration showed in his eyes.
Needless to say, they could not possibly agree to the trade. Ultimately, their goal was the nt, not the
furs. If they were to give the vegetable seeds to the vige for free, they would be doing them a great
favor. At that time, the vigers naturally would not suspect their motive when they asked for the nt.
Hmm… The more I interact with her, the more I find her brilliant.
Soon, steaming hot food was served on the tables. It was all stewed meat, the fragrant aroma hitting
them right in the face. However, there were hardly any vegetables.
Murat had someone carry out a few sks of liquor they brewed themselves. He also poured a
brimming ss for Curtis.
Picking up the ss, Curtis took a whiff of it. At once, his brows furrowed.
Noticing that, Rayna leaned over and inquired in a whisper, “Don’t tell me you can’t drink, Uncle
Curtis?”
“No, but the alcohol content of this is very high. I rarely drink such type of liquor,” he exined.
In truth, it was because something would happen if he were to drink hard liquor. He had no idea what
the aftereffects were, but Gabriel advised him against it.
“Then, I’ll drink it instead. It’s just a ss anyway.” Rayna picked up the ss before something
urred to her, and she voiced, “I told them I’m pregnant. Would I be giving the game away if I were to
drink it?”
Hearing that, Curtis was rendered speechless.
At that precise moment, those at the other tables started cheering, raising the sses in their hands
one after another.
“How impressive, Ms. Gand. You’re even pregnant with my child.” Smirking, Curtis took the ss of
liquor out of her hand and downed it in a single go.
A drop of liquor trickled down the corner of his mouth, running down his corbone before disappearing
into his shirt, rendering him sexy and seductive.
In a sh, the saying that went along the lines of “some people were the epitome of sexiness when
they imbibed” shed across Rayna’s mind.
At that moment, she was convinced of the veracity of that statement.
Curtis only drank that ss of liquor throughout the meal. The color of his face remained unchanged,
but he seemed to be feeling unwell, massaging his temples every so often. His brows were also knitted
together deeply.
“Mr. Yildiz, my husband isn’t feeling too well. I’ll help him back to Ms. Aisha’s house to rest first.”
“Sure! Go ahead.”
Rayna hastily supported Curtis. Upon seeing that his eyes were half-closed and he only seemed semi-
conscious, she ced his hand across her shoulder. No sooner had she hoisted him up than she
almost stumbled to her knees.
Oh gosh, how heavy!
Fortunately, Aisha’s house was merely a stone’s throw away, so she managed to help him back to their
room. It was pitch-ck inside. It took her groping around for a long time before she sessfully
removed the fur from atop the stone.
In an instant, the room turned as bright as day.
By the time she tossed him onto the bed, she was already panting heavily. Staring at the man who was
dead asleep, she muttered, “I shouldn’t have said that I was pregnant. Otherwise, I could’ve drank that
ss of liquor on your behalf.”
I’ve seen him drink liquor multiple times in the past, but he had always turned out fine. Why did he get
drunk with just a single ss this time? Was it really because of the alcohol content?
While puzzling about the matter, Rayna went outside in search of water. After washing her face and
arms, she retrieved a basin of water to wipe Curtis down.
As soon as she pushed open the door and stepped into the room, she was greeted by the sight of the
initially slumbering man sitting on the bed with a nk expression on his face.
“Oh, you’re awake, Uncle Curtis?”
The moment Curtis spotted her, his eyes lit up. He instantly got off the bed and hurried over to her.
Unlike before, he did not exude an oppressive aura as he stood before her at full height.
Rayna was wholly bewildered.
For some inexplicable reason, she felt as though the man standing in front of her was not Curtis.
Instead, it was a massive dog.
His unfathomable eyes were locked onto her intently. As he had imbibed, his voice carried a trace of
insobriety, and he looked incredibly docile with his downcast eyes.
“Darling.”
Rayna was so shocked that she loosened her grip on the basin, and the container filled with water
crashed onto the ground with a ng.
