Chapter 466: Chapter 466

The housekeeper glanced at the phone number. It was Wyatt’s number but the call just could not get through.

Since Wyatt was on a business trip, the housekeeper thought that he was probably too busy. Furthermore, she saw the picture that Rayna had shown her. After a moment of hesitation, she passed the phone back to Rayna. “Are you coming back for dinner later?”

“Yeah! Prepare dinner for us.”

With that, Rayna left the mansion with Jessica.

After getting into the car, Jessica gazed at the mansion as it shrank into the distance with an indescribable feeling of sorrow filled her.

She thought that she would stay there forever. Every day, she would do some reading and wait for her baby to be delivered worriedly. Never once did she want to leave.

Yet, she left today.

“Stop thinking about those unpleasant things.” Rayna tossed a bottle of water to her. “Drink up! Your lips are pale. I’ll make sure that you and your baby are doing well.”

Jessica grabbed the water bottle hurriedly. As she stared at Rayna, she felt touched. “Thanks, Nana.”

“I should be thanking you instead.” Rayna’s voice became hoarse as she tried to keep her emotions in check. “Before I left the country, you’ve been helping me all along. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have...”

“All right, that’s enough.” Afraid that Rayna would keep talking incessantly and make her cry, Jessica stopped her in time.

“Norwal City is so big! Where can we go such that he can’t find us?”

“Don’t worry. He’ll definitely not be able to find that place.” Rayna’s lips curved into a cold smirk.

The car reached Cerulean Bay after twenty minutes.

“Is this the place that you were talking about?” Jessica was shocked when she saw Rayna bringing her back to the condominium. “If he discovers that I’m gone, he’ll definitely look for me here first.”

Rayna led her toward the condominium and said, “I didn’t say that it’s the condominium we stayed in.”

Jessica was rendered speechless.

When the elevator reached the floor, Rayna walked toward Kristie’s unit and pressed the doorbell.

Soon, the door opened.

“Ms. Garland?” When Larissa opened the door and saw Rayna, she was surprised. “Didn’t you go to work? Oh, who’s this?”

Smiling, Rayna replied, “She’s my friend. Where’s Kristie?”

“Ms. Kristie’s in the kitchen!” Larissa invited both of them into the house and explained exasperatedly, “She loves the biscuits that you made the previous time. Claiming that I don’t bake them well, she decided to take it into her own hands.”

Jessica entered the house with Rayna. It took a while before she returned to her senses. Inching closer to Rayna, she whispered, “Do you want to stay with Kristie? Don’t you know that Wyatt is close to her?”

Rayna patted her shoulder. “The most dangerous place is the safest. Trust me.”

Seeing how confident she was, Jessica nodded and decided to follow her arrangements.

Upon hearing that Rayna had arrived, Kristie stopped everything she was doing and rushed out of the kitchen excitedly. “Rayna!

Make some biscuits for me! I love those that you baked the other time. Mdm. Lovett can’t do it well!”

“Okay, I’ll bake some for you soon.” As Rayna spoke, she took off Kristie’s apron. “Tell me if you want to eat something. Don’t try to make it yourself. You’ll get hurt easily.”

Giggling, Kristie said, “I’m afraid that you’re busy so I didn’t dare to bother you.”

From the corners of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Jessica standing behind Rayna. Widening her eyes, she exclaimed, “You’re here too, Jessica? You... You have lost so much weight...”

Jessica squeezed out a smile in response.

“She has already broken up with Wyatt.” Rayna pulled Kristie toward her and whispered, “Jessica isn’t feeling well, so I’d like her to stay with you for a while.”

Kristie nodded and agreed easily, “Sure! It’s boring staying at home alone. I want to film something, but Curt insists on making me rest for a while longer.”

Her voice was filled with indignance.

She had been staying at home for months. Although she could have anything she wanted, it was excruciatingly mundane—

almost like she was stuck in prison.

Rayna’s heart ached. Stroking Kristie’s hair, she forced out a smile and consoled, “He’s just worried about you. Wait for a while more! I’ll bring you overseas to have fun in the future, okay?”

Kristie mumbled in agreement before asking quietly, “Rayna, when will you get back together with Curt?”

“I’ll make some biscuits for you.” Rayna changed the topic of the conversation. “Would you like to eat mochi?”

“Of course!” Kristie managed to get distracted by Rayna’s question.

By the time she returned to her senses, Rayna had already summoned Larissa to the kitchen.

Just when Kristie was about to clarify her question with Rayna, Jessica stopped her in time. “It’s very smokey in the kitchen. Why don’t we watch the television?”

While they were occupied in the kitchen, Rayna informed Larissa that Jessica would be staying there temporarily, even describing Wyatt as an evil scumbag to win Larissa’s pity.

She also instructed Larissa to not tell anyone, including Curtis, that Jessica was staying there.

“She lost so much weight despite being pregnant! How pitiful!” Larissa saw how skinny Jessica was earlier and could not help but feel sorry for her.

Although Rayna had exaggerated things a little, Larissa believed her wholeheartedly.

She said that she had a daughter-in-law and knew how exhausting being pregnant was. Hence, she promised that she would take good care of Jessica and keep it secret. When Wyatt visited, she would take extra precautions.

Rayna felt relieved when she heard that.

In addition to making a lot of biscuits and mochi, she prepared a sumptuous dinner.

While eating, Jessica asked Rayna discreetly, “What happened with Kristie and James? When I asked her about James, she asked me who he is!”

“She injured her head when she was filming,” explained Rayna under her breath. “That’s why...”

Since Jessica was already pregnant and having a hard time, Rayna was afraid that she would blame herself if she heard the truth. Hence, Rayna decided to keep it a secret from her.

Jessica was stunned. “A-Amnesia?”

“Yeah. She forgot everything about her time with James.”

“No wonder Mr. Faymon’s stopping her from filming.” Completely oblivious to the fact that Rayna was lying, Jessica asked, “Isn’t Mr. York very skilled? Is he at a loss for what to do too?”

Rayna replied helplessly, “Jeremy’s a researcher, not a doctor. There’s a huge difference between the two.”

“When he visited me earlier, he prescribed me some medicine. That’s why I assumed that he’s a doctor.”

“He visited you before?”

Jessica replied, “Yeah. He visited me when I was feeling unwell. After I got pregnant, Mr. York got another doctor to take care of me.”

A grim look descended upon Rayna’s face. Gritting her teeth, she cursed, “What the f*ck? As expected of Wyatt’s friend! He didn’t tell me about your situation nor did he help you!”

“Wyatt’s temper is unpredictable. He probably doesn’t know how to intervene and doesn’t want to burden you,” analyzed Jessica.

“Let’s stop thinking about it and eat...”

Jessica took a few bites before feeling nauseous and running to the bathroom.

Kristie glanced over and asked Rayna, “Rayna, how’s Jessica doing? Is she feeling unwell?”

“Yeah, she is.”

Rayna’s heart ached whenever she remembered how skinny Jessica was. She sighed inwardly.

When she was pregnant, her morning sickness was quite severe too. However, she was not as serious as Jessica, who lost so much weight and felt nauseous with a single bite of food.

I wonder if Jessie’s baby can be delivered safely...

After eating dinner and settling all arrangements, Rayna left at eight.

She drove to a nearby ATM to retrieve some money. Then, she returned to the residential area and informed the management that her ring from Van Cleef & Arpels had been stolen.

Since it was such a serious report, the staff called his manager over to settle it for Rayna.
