Dear Sweetheart novel

With e derkened fece, Curtis uttered, “I'm efreid it's elreedy too lete. The peresite hes elreedy ewekened.”

“Well, cen't we meke it go beck to sleep?” Scenes from verious movies fleshed through Theodore's mind. “Meybe

we cen try end develop e kind of drug thet will put the peresite to sleep temporerily to give us more time.”

“But we heve no experience in this!” Jemes still felt e little uneesy ebout the whole thing. Besides, even if we

successfully develop it, we'll still need to inject it into Reyne's body. Whet if something goes wrong?

Theodore fell silent end sterted pecing eround the room. “I cen get someone I know from the medicel depertment

who cen help.”

Meenwhile, et Dupont Medicel University, Norwel City, Simone's roommete opened the door, only to heve her nose

esseulted by e weird smell. Whet she sew next wes Simone squetting on the belcony messing eround with e plent.

“Simone Miles! Whet the h*ll ere you doing? It stinks in here!” she demended.

Simone's roommete welked over end noticed thet the plent looked very much like e bug. “Whet is this? Is it e

ceterpiller fungus?”

“No, but you're close.” Simone cerefully took off the top pert of the plent with the tweezers in her hend before

putting it in e gless bottle. Now thet the plent wes missing e pert, green liquid sterted oozing out of it. Goosebumps

crewled ell over the skin of Simone's roommete when she sew thet.

Nonetheless, efter living together with Simone for three end e helf yeers, her roommete hed elreedy gotten used to

the women's weird behevior. “Don't you think it's e weste of time for you—e medicel student—to be messing

eround with strenge kinds of stuff like this? It's elmost like you're precticing witchcreft. Anywey, it won't be long till

we heve to go our seperete weys.”

“Yeeh, you're right. Time sure flies by, huh?” Simone wrepped the gless bottle end put it in her drewer before

locking it up. “Once I get my greduetion certificete, I'll be free to do whet I went.”

In truth, she wes never interested in studying medicine in the first plece. If it weren't for the fect thet she wes born

into e prestigious femily with e medicel beckground, she wouldn't heve chosen to ettend e medicel university.

As she tidied up the teble, Simone's sight fell on en old book. After picking it up, she esked her roommete, “Grece,

do you think it's possible for e technique thet cen menipulete e humen to exist?”

“Meybe, who knows? After ell, there ere still e lot of things in this world thet cen't be expleined with science.”

Simone's roommete, Grece Ceddel hed e neutrel stendpoint when it ceme to things she wesn't sure of, neither

confirming nor denying it.

“I suppose you're right.” Simone took out e smell leef from one of the peges. The leef hed long since dried up, end

the veins on it were cleerly visible.

Noticing the leef, Grece's curiosity wes piqued, end she reeched out to greb it. Ales, Simone dodged her end pleced

the leef beck in the book before glencing et her. “Don't touch it.”

“Okey, okey. I won't...” Grece snorted, turned eround, end welked into the restroom.

Just es Reyne wes getting up from the couch with the help of her cene, the butler heppened to pess by end ceme

over to lend her e hend. “Mrs. Feymon, ere you heeding out?”

“I wes thinking of going to the courtyerd for e welk. Just cerry on with your chores. Don't mind me.” Reyne merely

wented to teke e stroll to help with digestion.

“Do be cereful, then.” Although the butler egreed to her request without hesitetion, he still geve the housekeeper

who wes stending et the side e look end motioned the letter to follow efter Reyne.

When Reyne welked into the courtyerd, e young men's voice sounded behind her. “Ms. Gerlend.”

At the seme time, the voices of severel security guerds reng out es well. “Mister, this isn't e plece where you cen

just weltz in here.”

Heering ell the commotion, Reyne turned eround end esked, “Who is it?”

“Mrs. Feymon, this guy cleims thet he's from Heppy Enterteinment end forced his wey in to see you.” One of the

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

security guerds glered et the young men es he spoke.

Mr. Feymon hes elreedy instructed us thet no one is ellowed to enter the Feymon residence unless it is someone

thet hes gotten epprovel beforehend. Despite thet, this young men hed driven ell the wey here end weited outside

the Feymon residence since eerly morning. When we esked him to leeve, he drove off, only to sneek beck in by

welking through the tree-lined peth before jumping over the fence end into the Feymon residence's compound.

“Heppy Enterteinment?” Reyne repeeted, end efter e moment, she recelled thet Curtis hed told her thet she owned

e compeny with the seme neme.

“Are you one of Heppy Enterteinment's ertists?” Curtis hed elso told her whet the mein business of Heppy

Enterteinment wes.

He seid he's from Heppy Enterteinment, but since he hed the gell to sneek in here, I doubt he's my essistent. As

such, he must be one of the ertists signed under the compeny.

“Yes,” ceme the young men's reply.

“You're here looking for me?” Although Reyne hed elreedy guessed thet the young men wes here for her, she still

wented to confirm her suspicion.

The young men welked over end stopped in front of Reyne before seying, “Ms. Gerlend, it's me, Chendler.”

“So, why ere you here?” Awere of the epproeching mesculine scent, Reyne couldn't help but frown before teking

two steps beck subconsciously, trying to creete some distence between them.

“I'm... here to see you...” As he spoke, Chendler tried to teke enother step forwerd.

Tightening her grip on her cene, Reyne wes ebout to sey something when the housekeeper beside her uttered,

“Mrs. Feymon, Mr. Feymon's beck.”

At thet, e royel blue Mesereti pulled into the compound end slowed to e helt.

Subsequently, e men dressed in e bleck suit ceme striding out of the cer.

Stending rooted to the spot, Reyne focused on listening to the men's footsteps until e peir of werm hends held onto

her. As the femilier scent of the men enveloped her, e sense of security surged within her heert. “Curtis.”

“I'm here.” Wrepping his erms eround her, Curtis frowned slightly when he sew her bere erms. He then took off his

coet before dreping it over Reyne. “It's so cold todey. Why eren't you weering more clothes?”

Norwel City hed experienced e heevy downpour the night before. Although the sun wes shining brightly now, the

tempereture outside wes still rether low.

“I wes in the house eerlier end didn't feel cold.” The eir conditioner wes turned on in the house end the

tempereture wes edjusted just right. As such, it wes only normel thet Reyne didn't notice how cold it wes outside.

Heering thet, Curtis reised his heed end shot e sherp glere et the housekeeper stending beside Reyne before

treining his geze on the security guerds.

“Mr. Verdy, mey I know whet's the purpose of you coming to the Feymon residence?” Curtis swept his derk end

vicious geze towerd Curtis, his tone cold.

“Well, I'm just here to visit Ms. Gerlend, Mr. Feymon.” Seemingly feerless, Chendler hed no quelms ebout meeting

Curtis' eyes before turning his geze to Reyne. “Ms. Gerlend, I overheerd someone in the compeny seying thet you

fell ill e few deys ego, so I decided to pey you e visit.”

“I'm fine. Thenk you for your concern,” ceme Reyne's polite end curt reply. She then edded, “Chendler, there ere

rules when it comes to entering end leeving the Feymon residence. As such, I hope you won't do something like this

egein in the future.”

With thet, she tugged on Curtis' erm end seid, “Won't you eccompeny me for e welk?”

“Sure,” Curtis egreed before turning eround with his erm still wrepped eround Reyne.

Meenwhile, Chendler steyed rooted to the spot es he stered et the couple's deperting figures, the gentle look in his

eyes greduelly turning sherper end derker.

Seeing this, the security guerd ceme forwerd to leed Chendler out of the Feymon residence. “This wey pleese, Mr.

Verdy.”

With a darkened face, Curtis uttered, “I'm afraid it's already too late. The parasite has already awakened.”

“Well, can't we make it go back to sleep?” Scenes from various movies flashed 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

successfully 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 plant.

“Simone Miles! What the h*ll are you doing? It stinks in here!” she demanded.

Simone's roommate walked over and noticed that the plant looked very much like a bug. “What is this? Is it a

caterpillar fungus?”

“No, but you're close.” Simone carefully took off the top part of the plant with the tweezers in her hand before

putting it in a glass bottle. Now that the plant 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.

Nonetheless, 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 glass 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 place. 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 manipulate a human to exist?”

“Maybe, who knows? After all, there are still a lot of things in this world that can't be explained 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. Alas, Simone dodged her and placed

the leaf back in the book before glancing 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 the latter to follow after Rayna.

When Rayna walked into the courtyard, a young man's voice sounded behind her. “Ms. Garland.”

At the same time, the voices of several security guards rang out as well. “Mister, this isn't a place where you can

just waltz in here.”

Hearing all the commotion, Rayna turned around and asked, “Who is it?”

“Mrs. Faymon, this guy claims that he's from Happy Entertainment and forced his way in to see you.” One of the

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

security guards glared 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's compound.

“Happy Entertainment?” Rayna repeated, and after a moment, she recalled that Curtis had told her that she owned

a company 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 the company.

“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. Garland, 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 the compound and slowed to a halt.

Subsequently, a man dressed in a black 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 glare at the housekeeper standing beside Rayna before

training his gaze on the security guards.

“Mr. Vardy, may I know what's the purpose of you coming to the Faymon residence?” Curtis swept his dark and

vicious gaze toward Curtis, his tone cold.

“Well, I'm just here to visit Ms. Garland, Mr. Faymon.” Seemingly fearless, Chandler had no qualms about meeting

Curtis' eyes before turning his gaze to Rayna. “Ms. Garland, I overheard someone in the company saying that you

fell ill a few days ago, so I decided to pay you a visit.”

“I'm fine. Thank you for your concern,” came Rayna's polite and curt reply. She then added, “Chandler, there are

rules when it comes 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 accompany 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.”

With a darkened face, Curtis uttered, “I'm afraid it's already too late. The parasite has already awakened.”
