Dear Sweetheart novel

“It’s the female vice CEO of Glory. She’s quite well-acquainted with Ms. Winton.” The gynecologist said with a frown,

“I notice the position of the fetuses isn’t optimum, so there may be some risks.”

“How many fetuses are there?”

“It’s a triplet,” the gynecologist reported the test results to the doctor.

After hearing that, the doctor thought for a few moments before uttering, “If the woman’s uterus is too small and

the fetuses don’t have room to move around, fetal malposition may indeed happen. Still, as long as a nuchal cord

doesn’t happen, there shouldn’t be any problem.”

“But…” The gynecologist’s brows remained tightly knitted as she hesitated to speak.

When she examined Rayna’s condition earlier, she realized the babies’ movements were infrequent. Not to

mention, Rayna was carrying a triplet, so she reckoned something must be off. Nevertheless, that condition might

also be due to Rayna overtiring herself lately.

Ignorant to the gynecologist’s dithering, the doctor continued, “When she comes for her next pregnancy checkup,

the doctor will tell her how to adjust the position of her fetuses. This shouldn’t be a significant issue, so I’ll take my

leave.”

The gynecologist nodded. “See you.”

She decided not to dwell further on that matter. That’s right. Fetal malposition is not a major problem. Besides, that

lady is no longer related to Mr. Faymon. It is quite troublesome if I invite these unnecessary problems onto myself

for being a busybody.

With Kristie and Carl monitoring her, Rayna couldn’t leave even if she wanted to, so she had no choice but to

remain there.

She felt much better after the slumber.

After having their breakfast, Rayna and Kristie went to the ward. Rayna wanted to go to the hospital alone, but

Kristie wished to tag along.

Rayna asked the latter to stay in the condominium, but right after Rayna went to the garage and sat in the driver’s

seat, she heard the car door being opened and closed as another person got into the car.

Rayna turned to look behind her and noticed Kristie sitting in the backseat.

She was rendered speechless.

“Rayna, I’m coming because I’m worried about you.” Kristie stuck out her tongue and urged, “Hurry up and start

the car. Otherwise, that brat will be here soon.”

Rayna didn’t think it was appropriate to chase Kristie out of the vehicle, so she had no choice but to start the car.

“Remember to put on a cap and a mask when you get out of the car later.”

Kristie muttered, “I got it! It’s been so long since I last participated in a film. My fans probably think I’ve been

blacklisted. I don’t think anyone will recognize me even if I don’t wear a cap.”

“If you don’t listen to me, I’m not letting you tag along.”

Kriste immediately shut her mouth.

Upon arriving at the hospital ward, Rayna asked for directions and soon found the room Jessica had told her about.

The nurse had just finished making their usual rounds. When she saw Rayna, she asked, “Are you the patient’s kin?”

“Yes.” Rayna nodded. “Is he all right?”

“His condition is stable, but he’ll need to stay in the hospital for some time, so it’ll be best to find him a caretaker as

soon as possible.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

After sending the nurse away, Rayna pushed open the door to the ward.

Inside the regular ward were four to five beds, but most were not occupied.

After stepping into the room, Rayna saw the middle-aged man on the bed near the window at first glance.

The middle-aged man’s body was wrapped in multiple layers of bandages. Even his face, the only part of him which

was visible, was heavily bruised.

He seemed to have sustained some severe injuries.

Kristie, trailing behind Rayna, asked in an undertone, “Is this Jessica’s relative? He’s so badly wounded.”

Rayna grunted in response.

However, she had never met Jessica’s relative, so she didn’t know who that man was.

The middle-aged man on the bed slowly opened his eyes when he heard footsteps. He saw Rayna and Kristie from

the corner of his eyes. “Who are you?”

“Mr. Marsh, I’m Jessica’s friend.” Rayna moved closer. “Do you want me to help you summon the nurse?”

The middle-aged man moved his lips.

Rayna couldn’t quite make out what he was saying. She bent down and leaned closer before she heard him ask,

“Where is Jessica?”

The sight of him speaking with that much difficulty tugged at Rayna’s heartstrings. She replied gently, “She’s been

taking care of you all this while but had worn herself out, so she’s resting at home now.”

Hearing that, the middle-aged man relaxed his furrowed brows.

“I’m glad she’s fine. That’s great.” His voice was hoarse. “I told her not to provoke those people and not to anger

the Lopez family, but she won’t heed my advice. Alas, I’m glad she’s all right.”

“Are you Jessica’s uncle, Oliver?” Rayna figured out that man’s identity. “Didn’t she arrange for you to go on a

holiday abroad?”

Oliver explained, “My wife and I went on vacation for two days, but we returned because we were worried about

her. Unexpectedly, a group of people barged into our house as soon as we reached home.”

Oliver glanced at the empty bed beside him before asking Rayna anxiously, “Where’s my wife?”

Rayna hurriedly comforted him, “Don’t worry. She’s staying in a different ward. Can you tell me who are the people

who barged into your home?”

“They were sent there by the Lopez family.” Oliver couldn’t help but shudder as he was reminded of the night’s

incident. “They kicked open the door and questioned me about Jessica’s whereabouts. Then, they hit my wife and

me and even took away my phone. I managed to snatch my phone back and told them to leave. Otherwise, I’ll call

the police. However, they asked me to call the police and report to the authority that Jessica had killed someone. In

that way, the police can arrest Jessica too.”

“Which Lopez family are you referring to? Wyatt Lopez?”

Oliver nodded with difficulty and uttered in a husky voice, “When they left, someone made a phone call and

addressed the other person on the phone as Mr. Lopez. He asked the latter if they should stay at our place to keep

watch since they couldn’t locate Jessica.”

Rayna recalled how Wyatt had barged into his office and smacked her the other day.

Judging by his violent nature, he might’ve been the one to target Jessica’s uncle and his family when he failed to

locate Jessica. But…

Taking in Oliver’s appearance, Rayna gritted her teeth hatefully. “Is he still a man? How can he be so ruthless!”

Kristie couldn’t help but chime in, “Wyatt may be bad-tempered, but I don’t think he will do something like this.

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding?”

Rayna sneered. “Misunderstanding? Do you know he slapped me when he lost it as I didn’t comply with his demand

when he went to my office the other day to ask about Jessie’s whereabouts?”

“Seriously?” Kristie was dumbfounded.

Mustering all his strength, Oliver grasped Rayna’s hand. “Jessica had suffered enough. Please take good care of

her.”

Rayna nodded. “I will. She’s my best friend.”

At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open. A nurse dashed into the room while wearing a solemn

expression.

Before Rayna could ask the nurse what was going on, the latter approached Oliver, who was lying on the bed and

said, “Mr. Oliver Marsh, your wife, Danielle Yarbrough, was involved in a car crash on the way to the hospital. We

failed to save her because she lost too much blood.”

Oliver widened his eyes as he struggled to breathe. “What? My wife, my wife…”

“She’s joking. Mrs. Marsh is in the ward next door. Don’t worry, Mr. Marsh,” Rayna hurriedly said.

She forcefully dragged the nurse out of the ward with a dark look on her face.

The nurse knitted her brows and said, “Hey! Are you the patient’s family? His wife is not in the ward next door. She

was caught up in a car accident when she was rushed to the hospital. I personally sent her into the operating room

—”

“Shut up!” Rayna chided while shoving the nurse out of the room and shutting the door behind her.

Then, she continued to scold her, “Do you know what’s your profession? How can you announce such a piece of sad

news in front of the patient? How are you sure the person was his wife?”

“She doesn’t have any family members here. Do you suppose the hospital will foot her bill if I don’t tell him?” The

nurse was even more temperamental than Rayna. “Are you his kin? You should go and claim her body!”

Rayna sputtered with rage. “You—”

The door to the ward was pushed open in a haste and Kristie scrambled out. “Rayna, t-that mister…”
