Dear Sweetheart novel

Instead of beating around the bush, Curtis said directly, “Carl, I know you’re still little, but I need to tell you about

some unfortunate events, and you have to keep calm, okay?”

“Did something really happen to my parents?” Carl asked anxiously.

“Yes.” Curtis nodded.

Curtis told Carl about what had happened after Theodore arrived in Xyperia and their current situation.

Rayna couldn’t bear to hear it, so she quickly turned away.

Carl was in a daze after listening to what Curtis had to say.

“I know this is a lot to take it. I’m sorry.” Curtis caressed Carl’s head. “Jeremy told me they’re going to be fine. It’s

just a matter of time before they wake up.”

Carl lowered his head and drenched his cast with tears. “I shouldn’t have let Daddy go there.” While holding back

his tears, he asked Curtis, “Mr. Curtis, did they adopt my daddy? Why—”

He sniffled and continued with resentment, “Aren’t parents supposed to love their children? Why did my grandma

do that to Daddy? Does a person’s family background matter so much?”

No wonder Mommy has been strict with me. She wants me to be an incredible person and be in control of who I

end up with. It’s all because Mommy had gone through a tough time.

Curtis wiped his tears away and answered gently, “As long as you like her and she’s willing to grow with you, family

backgrounds don’t matter. What matters is how parents educate their children. Your daddy is Mrs. Xavier’s

biological son. In fact, he’s her only son. She also came from a prominent family, so that was why she looked down

on your mommy. However, that doesn’t matter anymore. What you need to know is that Mrs. Xavier is still your

grandmother. She’s your daddy’s biological mother. Although you have to respect her and be nice to her, you can

also disregard her if she doesn’t treat you right.”

“She made my parents suffer! I will never acknowledge her!” Carl fumed.

Curtis smiled. “Your parents are unconscious, but you aren’t alone. Kristie, Jeremy, Wyatt, and I are all here for you.

We love you.”

“Okay.” Carl knew he had to stay strong. “I’ll wait for my parents to come back! I must grow stronger and taller so

that I can protect my mommy in the future. I can’t let her get bullied by that old woman anymore!”

Curtis could finally breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that Carl had been consoled.

Rayna rolled her eyes at Curtis and grumbled, “Why didn’t you include me? Am I not a human? Do I not love Carl?

How could you!”

After that, she said to Carl, “Thank goodness you aren’t staying with Curtis. Otherwise, he’s going to end up

teaching you nonsense.”

Curtis smiled helplessly and held his forehead in response.

“It’s such a blessing to stay with you, Ms. Rayna! Your cooking skills are incredible!” Carl immediately uttered, then

glanced at Rayna’s tummy. “How’s my wife, Ms. Rayna? Has she been good?”

“She has! Don’t worry!” Rayna was amused. “Are you hungry? There’s some food in the lunch box.”

“Are you serious? I want some!” Carl was thrilled when he craned his neck and saw the food in the lunch box. He

then proceeded to complain, “You said you love me, right, Mr. Curtis? Why did you only bring food for Ms. Rayna?

Feed me, Mr. Curtis!”

Curtis took out some food and shoved the bowl into Carl’s hands. “Help yourself,” he said, looking cold.

“How am I supposed to eat on my own with my neck like this?”

“What does your neck injury have to do with your hands?” Curtis shot him a cold glance. “Is there anything wrong

with your hands?”

Carl went quiet.

Seeing that, Rayna glared at Curtis. “He’s just a child. What’s the matter with you? Come here, Carl. I’ll feed you.”

Just when she was about to take the bowl from Carl, Curtis gently held her wrist before shooting Carl a look.

In response, Carl instantly got down from the bed and went to the side to eat.

“Do you see that? He can help himself. There’s nothing to worry about,” Curtis said casually.

Rayna was rendered speechless.

Curtis told her that Jefferson had taken Ixora, and Jeremy had brought Jefferson to do a checkup so that they could

check the progress of Jefferson’s recovery.

Rayna was stunned. “Didn’t Jeremy’s lab explode into flames?”

“He managed to grab one Ixora and did some experiments with the new instruments. He succeeded in the end, so I

got him to send it back.”

“I know he’s good, but I didn’t know he’s that capable.” Rayna was relieved because that meant that Jefferson

could have a new life after taking the medicine. “Thank you, Mr. Faymon.”

Curtis pursed his lips. “Why do you address me in such a formal tone when you can address him so intimately?

You’re bearing my child, and I don’t expect you to address me as your husband, but you’re being too formal.”

Rayna choked on his words.

She quickly glanced at Carl before whispering, “Are you mad? There’s a child here.”

“What, are you afraid after doing something wrong?” Curtis grumbled.

Seeing that Carl was present, Rayna didn’t want to argue with Curtis. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll address

you as Mr. Curtis, okay?”

“That’s too formal too, so no.”

Rayna didn’t know what to say.

“You can either address me as Curtis or Darling. You choose.”

“Are you insane?” Rayna rolled her eyes at him. “I never had a problem with how you address me, no?”

“I’m changing it from now on.” Curtis stared into her eyes. “I’ll call you Darling, too, from now on.”

Rayna was rendered speechless.

“Ugh…” Carl made a sound of disgust. “Can you be any more shameless, Mr. Curtis? You haven’t even married Ms.

Rayna yet. How could you address her that way? Nothing is free in this world!”

“He has always been this shameless!” Rayna chimed in.

“Can’t you just eat your food in silence?” Curtis said in a helpless tone. This child is always going against me.

Right then, his phone rang.

Curtis glanced at his phone before rising to his feet. “Carl will keep you company. I need to take a call.”

“Update me if you hear anything about Jessie,” Rayna said while grabbing Curtis’ sleeves.

“I will.”

With that, Curtis left.

Curtis left and never went back that day. Carl ended up accompanying Rayna the entire time.

The next morning, Kristie showed up and pouted when she said, “I wanted to visit you last night, but Curt stopped

me and told me you needed rest. Are you all right, Rayna?”

“I’m fine.” Rayna flashed a smile and pointed at her leg, which was suspended. “My leg has been kept this way, so I

couldn’t even sleep comfortably. How is Wyatt?”

“Jeremy’s friend is looking after him, and he’s still unconscious!” Kristie sighed and unpacked the breakfast. “Is

there news about Jessica?”

Rayna shook her head in disappointment. “Curtis hasn’t called me yet, so I have no idea.”

“Huh?” Kristie was momentarily stunned. Thereafter, she chuckled mischievously.

Rayna soon realized what Kristie was laughing about. Feeling uneasy, she cleared her throat and asked for

breakfast from Kristie.

Rayna was worried that Carl would get bored after being in the ward for a long time. She told Kristie to bring Carl

out for a walk after breakfast.

A few hours later, Sandy and Linda showed up.

The moment Linda entered the ward, she saw Rayna’s leg that was suspended in the air. She jumped in alarm and

was on the verge of crying. “My goodness! Curtis told me you were admitted because you weren’t feeling well.

What happened?”

“It’s just a leg injury. I’m fine, Mom. Calm down.”
