Chapter 641
With a darkened face, Curtis uttered, “I''m afraid it''s already toote. The parasite has already
awakened.”
“Well, can''t we make it go back to sleep?” Scenes from various movies shed through Theodore''s
mind. “Maybe we can try and develop a kind of drug that will put the parasite to sleep temporarily to
give us more time.”
“But we have no experience in this!” James still felt a little uneasy about the whole thing. Besides, even
if we sessfully develop it, we''ll still need to inject it into Rayna''s body. What if something goes
wrong?
Theodore fell silent and started pacing around the room. “I can get someone I know from the medical
department who can help.”
Meanwhile, at Dupont Medical University, Norwal City, Simone''s roommate opened the door, only to
have her nose assaulted by a weird smell. What she saw next was Simone squatting on the balcony
messing around with a nt. “Simone Miles! What the h*ll are you doing? It stinks in here!” she
demanded.
Simone''s roommate walked over and noticed that the nt looked very much like a bug. “What is this?
Is it a caterpir fungus?”
“No, but you''re close.” Simone carefully took off the top part of the nt with the tweezers in her hand
before putting it in a ss bottle. Now that the nt was missing a part, green liquid started oozing out
of it. Goosebumps crawled all over the skin of Simone''s roommate when she saw that.

Nheless, after living together with Simone for three and a half years, her roommate had already
gotten used to the woman''s weird behavior. “Don''t you think it''s a waste of time for you—a medical
student—to be messing around with strange kinds of stuff like this? It''s almost like you''re practicing
witchcraft. Anyway, it won''t be long till we have to go our separate ways.”
“Yeah, you''re right. Time sure flies by, huh?” Simone wrapped the ss bottle and put it in her drawer
before locking it up. “Once I get my graduation certificate, I''ll be free to do what I want.”
In truth, she was never interested in studying medicine in the first ce. If it weren''t for the fact that she
was born into a prestigious family with a medical background, she wouldn''t have chosen to attend a
medical university.
As she tidied up the table, Simone''s sight fell on an old book. After picking it up, she asked her
roommate, “Grace, do you think it''s possible for a technique that can manipte a human to exist?”
“Maybe, who knows? After all, there are still a lot of things in this world that can''t be exined with
science.” Simone''s roommate, Grace Caddel had a neutral standpoint when it came to things she
wasn''t sure of, neither confirming nor denying it.
“I suppose you''re right.” Simone took out a small leaf from one of the pages. The leaf had long since
dried up, and the veins on it were clearly visible.
Noticing the leaf, Grace''s curiosity was piqued, and she reached out to grab it. s, Simone dodged
her and ced the leaf back in the book before ncing at her. “Don''t touch it.”
“Okay, okay. I won''t...” Grace snorted, turned around, and walked into the restroom.
Just as Rayna was getting up from the couch with the help of her cane, the butler happened to pass by
and came over to lend her a hand. “Mrs. Faymon, are you heading out?”
“I was thinking of going to the courtyard for a walk. Just carry on with your chores. Don''t mind me.”
Rayna merely wanted to take a stroll to help with digestion.
“Do be careful, then.” Although the butler agreed to her request without hesitation, he still gave the
housekeeper who was standing at the side a look and motioned thetter to follow after Rayna.
When Rayna walked into the courtyard, a young man''s voice sounded behind her. “Ms. Gand.”
At the same time, the voices of several security guards rang out as well. “Mister, this isn''t a ce
where you can just waltz in here.”
Hearing all themotion, Rayna turned around and asked, “Who is it?”
“Mrs. Faymon, this guy ims that he''s from Happy Entertainment and forced his way in to see you.”
One of the security guards red at the young man as he spoke.
Mr. Faymon has already instructed us that no one is allowed to enter the Faymon residence unless it is
someone that has gotten approval beforehand. Despite that, this young man had driven all the way
here and waited outside the Faymon residence since early morning. When we asked him to leave, he
drove off, only to sneak back in by walking through the tree-lined path before jumping over the fence
and into the Faymon residence''spound.
“Happy Entertainment?” Rayna repeated, and after a moment, she recalled that Curtis had told her that
she owned apany with the same name.
“Are you one of Happy Entertainment''s artists?” Curtis had also told her what the main business of
Happy Entertainment was.
He said he''s from Happy Entertainment, but since he had the gall to sneak in here, I doubt he''s my
assistant. As such, he must be one of the artists signed under thepany.
“Yes,” came the young man''s reply.
“You''re here looking for me?” Although Rayna had already guessed that the young man was here for
her, she still wanted to confirm her suspicion.
The young man walked over and stopped in front of Rayna before saying, “Ms. Gand, it''s me,
Chandler.”
“So, why are you here?” Aware of the approaching masculine scent, Rayna couldn''t help but frown
before taking two steps back subconsciously, trying to create some distance between them.
“I''m... here to see you...” As he spoke, Chandler tried to take another step forward.
Tightening her grip on her cane, Rayna was about to say something when the housekeeper beside her
uttered, “Mrs. Faymon, Mr. Faymon''s back.”
At that, a royal blue Maserati pulled into thepound and slowed to a halt.
Subsequently, a man dressed in a ck suit came striding out of the car.
Standing rooted to the spot, Rayna focused on listening to the man''s footsteps until a pair of warm
hands held onto her. As the familiar scent of the man enveloped her, a sense of security surged within
her heart. “Curtis.”
“I''m here.” Wrapping his arms around her, Curtis frowned slightly when he saw her bare arms. He then
took off his coat before draping it over Rayna. “It''s so cold today. Why aren''t you wearing more
clothes?”
Norwal City had experienced a heavy downpour the night before. Although the sun was shining brightly
now, the temperature outside was still rather low.
“I was in the house earlier and didn''t feel cold.” The air conditioner was turned on in the house and the
temperature was adjusted just right. As such, it was only normal that Rayna didn''t notice how cold it
was outside.
Hearing that, Curtis raised his head and shot a sharp re at the housekeeper standing beside Rayna
before training his gaze on the security guards.
“Mr. Vardy, may I know what''s the purpose of youing to the Faymon residence?” Curtis swept his
dark and vicious gaze toward Curtis, his tone cold.
“Well, I''m just here to visit Ms. Gand, Mr. Faymon.” Seemingly fearless, Chandler had no qualms
about meeting Curtis'' eyes before turning his gaze to Rayna. “Ms. Gand, I overheard someone in the
“I''m fine. Thank you for your concern,” came Rayna''s polite and curt reply. She then added, “Chandler,
there are rules when ites to entering and leaving the Faymon residence. As such, I hope you won''t
do something like this again in the future.”
With that, she tugged on Curtis'' arm and said, “Won''t you apany me for a walk?”
“Sure,” Curtis agreed before turning around with his arm still wrapped around Rayna.
Meanwhile, Chandler stayed rooted to the spot as he stared at the couple''s departing figures, the
gentle look in his eyes gradually turning sharper and darker.
Seeing this, the security guard came forward to lead Chandler out of the Faymon residence. “This way
please, Mr. Vardy.”
