Chapter 639
After Rayna''s x-ray session in the hospital was done, the doctor studied her x-ray films.
Then, based on his years of experience, he concluded, “Mrs. Faymon''s condition is stable for now.
However, if that blood clot still can''t be absorbed or broken down by her body, there''s no guarantee her
condition won''t deteriorate. Her blindness is caused by the blood clot applying pressure to her optic
nerve. If the clot doesn''t disappear in time, there''s a chance she may not regain her eyesight.”
There wasn''t any expression on Curtis'' handsome face when he heard that, though he did tighten his
grip.
After Robin returned from paying the medical fee, he saw Curtis exiting the doctor''s office and
approached him.
Curtis slightly knitted his eyebrows upon seeing the two juice bottles in his assistant''s hands.
In response to noticing his employer''s reaction, Robin exined, “Mrs. Faymon asked me to buy them
for her. She said she was craving for it.”
Curtis stretched his hand out. “Give them to me.”
After Robin did as his employer asked, he watched thetter stroll toward Rayna''s ward. Then, he
abruptly recalled he bought one of the juices for himself.
Inside the ward, Rayna''s examination had just concluded. She was sitting on the couch waiting for
Curtis'' return.
Just as she was about to speak the moment she saw him, he went first. “Is the examination over yet?”
“Yep, it''s over,” she replied before he stuffed a bottle into her hand.
Upon detecting her confusion, Curtis exined, “It''s the juice you asked Robin to buy for you.”
“I see.” Rayna proceeded to drink the juice. He sounds like something is on his mind.
“It''ll take a while before the examination reportes out. How about we head home first?” she
suggested, believing it wouldn''t matter where she waited for the report. “Once it''s out, we''lle back
to pick it up.”
Absentmindedly, he agreed, “Sounds good to me.” He was worried about Rayna''s potential permanent
loss of eyesight and the unknown parasite in her body that could awaken at any moment.
Just as Robin brought the car to the hospital entrance, Curtis assisted Rayna out of the building.
On the way back, the energy of the car''s atmosphere was so low that Robin couldn''t help but nce at
the two people sitting in the backseat intermittently.
It wasn''t until he arrived at the Faymon residence and heard theughtering from the building that
he felt like he was alive again.
After the car was parked in the courtyard, Curtis exited the vehicle and took Rayna out.
Alfred, who was ying with the babies in the living room, smiled at the couple when they stepped in.
“You two came back pretty quickly. How were the examinations? What did the doctor say?”
Curtis ced the medicine the hospital prescribed Rayna on the nearby coffee table before helping her
sit on the couch. “They were fine.”
Upon listening to Curtis'' words, Alfred stared at his grandson for a while before turning to his
granddaughter-inw. While he had his doubts, he didn''t voice them out. “That''s good. Rayna should
rest here for the time being. Once she''s recovered, we can talk about what happens next.”
It was pretty obvious to Rayna that Alfred and Curtis were hiding something from her. They probably
just don''t want to tell me I''m not doing too well, and my condition may worsen.
Yelena and Yosef, who were sitting next to Alfred, crawled toward their mother when they saw her and
wanted to pull her.
Possibly because Yosef was a boy, he was rather rough when he did that. In fact, he pulled the long
hair on Rayna''s shoulder so forcefully that she grimaced.
“Yosef!” Curtis was drinking water when he saw that. Immediately, he put the ss down, strode toward
the baby, pped the boy''s hand away, and pulled Rayna into his embrace.
Yosef, who had been treated as a prince in the Faymon residence, was stunned in response to his
father''s actions. Cluelessly, the baby stared at the strands of hair he pulled from Rayna''s head before
shifting his sight toward Curtis again. Upon seeing his father''s scowl, he promptly started crying.
“No one is allowed to pacify him!” eximed Curtis the moment he noticed Alfred''s attempt to hug
Yosef.
“It''s fine. Yosef''s still young. He doesn''t know what he''s doing.” Gently holding Curtis'' hand, Rayna
uttered softly, “Don''t glower at him anymore. Otherwise, you''ll make Yelena and Xareni cry, too.”
While Yosef did do something wrong, he was still her very precious baby. He''s only a few months old.
It''s pointless to lecture him now when he doesn''t understand what we say to him and will eventually
forget about it.
Concerned that the other two babies would also start crying, the nanny speedily brought them away.
Meanwhile, Curtis didn''t care about Yosef crying at all. Instead, he turned to Rayna and picked up the
hair strands on her shoulder. When he did, he realized the baby had pulled out a small bunch of her
hair. “Does it hurt?”

His question unintentionally put her in a difficult spot. Was it painful? Of course. However, Yosef didn''t
do it on purpose. I don''t think I can just let my husband scold him.
“A little. A baby''s not that strong. I probably tore the hair myself when I tried to pull him away.” To
prevent her husband from sulking over the matter, she changed the topic coyly and softly. “I want to eat
some fruit.”
Curtis felt amused, angry, and resigned when he caught her intention. “What do you want to eat? I''ll
wash them for you.”
“Strawberries, grapes, and cherries.” Those fruits were easier for her to consume with her blindness.
“Mhm.” Without dy, he stood and left the living room.
After wailing for two minutes, Yosef stopped. With teary eyes, he peered at Alfred, then at Rayna, and
finally, in the direction Curtis left. The tear stains and snot on his countenance made him look pretty
pitiful.
“Do you know what you did wrong now?” The baby''s reaction amused Alfred. Even though he''s still so
young, he''s exceptionally clever. He''s probably that active and naughty because he''s a boy.
Yosef stared at the old man unmovingly for a few seconds before crawling to Rayna again as though
he had forgotten what had just happened.
Upon seeing that, Alfred gestured at the housekeeper to prevent the baby from hurting Rayna again.
Right as the housekeeper was about to take Yosef away, Rayna stopped her. “It''s fine. Just let him y
by my side for now.”
In response, the housekeeper turned to Alfred with a troubled look and saw him signal her to stand
down.
Rayna couldn''t see what expression Yosef was making, so she rubbed his chubby hands and blew at
them gently. “I''ll blow your pain away, okay?”
