Chapter 494: Chapter 494

Seeing him talking back to her, Kristie frowned with annoyance and chased him out.Before leaving, Samson reached out and touched her waist briefly just as she was caught off guard. Immediately, his frown deepened. “You’re too skinny. You’re all bones.”

With that, he left while Kristie remained standing there in a daze.

Did that old dude actually touch me?

Recalling she was still in the corridor outside the wards, Kristie suppressed her urge to scream and glared daggers in Samson’s direction. How I wish I can kill him by just staring at him.

In the end, Kristie went back to the ward to keep Rayna company while mindlessly playing a mobile game on her phone.

After a long time, the door to the ward was kicked open.

Shocked, Kr istie instantly got to her feet the moment she saw Wyatt entering with a scowl on his face.“Wyatt...”

“You call me so affectionately, yet you sided with an outsider by bringing Rayna to look for her at my place?” Wyatt grabbed Kristie’s arm tightly, his gaze terrifying.

“Ow! Ow!” The pain brought tears to Kristie’s eyes, and she wailed, “How is this called siding with an outsider? You know what you did!”

Wyatt hissed through gritted teeth, “Where did you take her to?”

“I don’t know!”

Wyatt was so furious that he called out her full name, “Kristie Winton! Don’t make me hit you!”

His blood was boiling with anger.

He never expected Rayna would take Jessica away when he was out settling some matters. After all, he had just captured the latter. On top of that, Kristie was the one who assisted them.

“Go on, then! Hit me!” Kristie moved her face closer, casting him a disappointed gaze. “Wyatt, look at what has become of you now. You’re emotionally unstable and vicious. What other things can you not do? You’ll definitely torture Jessica if she stays with you.”

Hearing that, Wyatt pulled her toward him and growled coldly, “What I’ve become is none of your business. You have no right to interfere with our matters. I want to torture her!”

Kristie scolded, “Rayna’s right. You’re a jerk. I won’t tell you where Jessica went, even if I knew. So, just give up already. You’re not good enough for her.”

Wyatt’s gaze darkened, and he raised his arm.

Just then, a figure approached and grabbed Wyatt’s arm, restraining the latter’s movements.

Wyatt’s expression grew colder when he noticed the interrupter was a middle-aged man. “Let her go! I’m here to protect Ms.

Winton under Mr. Faymon’s orders. Hit her and I’ll make sure you’ll end up in the operating room,” warned Samson as he gripped the former’s hand and glared daggers at him.

A sneer spread over Wyatt’s face while he used the other hand to loosen his tie. “Are you threatening me?”

“Enough! Don’t fight! We’re in a ward, for goodness’ sake. What if you accidentally hurt Rayna?” Kristie grabbed Samson’s arm for fear that they might start fighting.

She then whispered to Samson, “Wyatt’s extremely ruthless when it comes to fighting others. You’re no match for him. Just apologize, okay?”

“Are you worried I might lose?”

“I’m not because I know you will,” said Kristie. She then turned to Wyatt and said submissively, “Let’s talk outside, Wyatt. I’ll tell you where she went.”

Rayna’s settled everything, anyway. Wyatt won’t be able to find her, even if he went there.

Only then did the hostile aura around Wyatt reduce a little.

Just as he was about to take Kristie out of the room, his phone rang. His expression grew colder when he saw who the caller was.

Though feeling reluctant, he still answered it. “Hello, Rafael.”

With that, he fell into a long silence.

After listening to what the caller had to say, Wyatt frowned, looking quite furious. Nonetheless, he only said, “I understand. I’ll go there now.”

He then hung up and shot Kristie a glare before leaving.

Kristie was befuddled by his sudden departure. She could not help but mutter to herself, “Huh? Didn’t he say he wanted to find out Jessica’s whereabouts? Why did he leave?”

Samson locked the ward door and opened the takeout container for lunch. Immediately, a delicious aroma permeated the room.

“That smells good!” Kristie was attracted by the aroma. When she saw Samson opening the covers, her eyes lit up at the sight of the dishes, and her stomach growled louder.

“Finish them,” said Samson while handing her a fork.

“Why should I? I’m a picky person, you know?” Kristie scoffed, taking the fork from his hand.

In fact, Kristie could only eat a few mouthfuls no matter how much effort Larissa put into her cooking.

Despite that, Kristie’s eyes lit up the moment she had a piece of meat from the container. “Where did you get this? It’s not bad.”

“I can get it for you again if you want to eat it next time.”

“Hmph! Who says I’m asking you to buy it? I’m not letting you come with me next time. You are a shameless person. How dare you touch my waist just now. Don’t you think I’m letting you off the hook just because you bought me a meal!” Kristie glared at him.

Samson could not help but chuckle at how angry she looked.

It only made Kristie turn around in anger.

Ugh! This is so annoying! Curt’s taste is so horrible. How could she find such an old man for me? Is he worried younger men will fall for my beauty?

In the meantime, Samson stayed in the ward with her the entire afternoon.

Around four o’clock in the afternoon, he seemed to have received an urgent message. Hence, he informed Kristie he had something to settle, telling her to tab on the ring if she was in danger.

When he left, Kristie got even more bored, so she called Carl over to take care of Rayna with her.

It was not until five o’clock in the morning did Rayna woke up.

Seeing Kristie and Carl sound asleep on another bed, Rayna figured they had been staying by her side the entire night. Thus, she went over to tuck them in before quietly leaving the ward.

While she drove to the company, she called Ringo.

The moment the call was connected, she asked anxiously, “How did it go? Did you find him?”

“No.” Ringo sounded tired. However, he still pulled himself together and said, “My men have picked Ms. Marsh up.”

The news made Rayna anxious.

How could they not manage to find such a huge plane?

Even so, Rayna forced a reply, “I see. Please take good care of her. Don’t forget to contact me if there’s any news.”

“I know.”

Rayna arrived at the office around six o’clock in the morning.

The entire building was empty at that hour and only the guard on duty was there. He greeted Rayna when he saw her.

Upon reaching the office, Rayna got herself some snacks and went aside to give Cillian a call.

She had no idea who else to turn to for help in Norwal City apart from Cillian, James’ best friend.

Unfortunately, Cillian’s phone was turned off.

In the end, she had no choice but to call Roxanne. “Roxanne, do you know where Cillian went?”

“Beats me. He hasn’t contacted me for more than two weeks. I think he mentioned something about dealing with something urgent. Are you not able to reach him?” Roxanne murmured sleepily.

“Yep. It’s okay. You continue sleeping, then.” Rayna sighed.

With the phone in her hand, Rayna sat on the chair and scrolled through her contact list. Sadly, there was no one she could call.

After an indefinite amount of time, the office door was opened.

“Ms. Garland, why are you here so early? Is everything okay?” Ella was shocked to see Rayna in the office.

Seeing it was Ella, Rayna recollected herself and asked, “Is everything at the hospital settled?”

Ella nodded while answering, “Mr. Marsh’s and Ms. Yarbrough’s bodies have been cremated. Their ashes are placed in the memorial hall. Ms. Garland, you look pale. Would you like to go back and get some rest?”

Forcing a smile, Rayna said, “I’m fine. Please make sure to keep an eye on the promotion of the new product.”

At that, Ella answered briefly and put down some documents on the table before leaving the office.

Meanwhile, Rayna remained in her seat for some time, scrolling through her contact list until she saw Jasper’s name.

After much hesitation, she dialed his number.
