Chapter 498: Chapter 498

Ringo reminded softly, “Mr. Hamilton, the doctor said just now that the child—”

“The doctor meant that the chances of survival are slim, but she hasn’t miscarried yet.” Jefferson interrupted him, closing his eyes. “I’m aware of my own condition, so I know I don’t have much time left. I guess I’m not destined to have children.

Nevertheless, I don’t want her to be with me anymore because I don’t want her to spend the rest of her life alone. I did all that not for Curtis’ sake but for the child’s sake. I love her and I don’t want her to be lonely.”

Life would be hard for someone who didn’t have anyone they could care for and depend on.

The last thing he wanted was for the woman he loved to experience the loneliness he felt in the first half of his life.

Ringo understood his employer’s intentions, so he remained silent.

He then utilized his connections and quickly got in contact with experienced gynecologists in Yartran.

One of the gynecologists was close to Jeremy and told him about what had happened.

Jeremy immediately stopped whatever he was doing and called Curtis.

“Curtis, are Rayna’s babies really Jefferson’s?”

“If you want to know, you can go and ask her!” Curtis replied coldly. He was in an extremely bad mood.

He was already frustrated enough with what happened last night, yet Jeremy had to call him and mention Rayna.

Jeremy said with a sigh, “Jefferson is such a lucky man. I heard Rayna’s having triplets. However, I heard she has a high chance of miscarriage. Jefferson got so worried that he even invited the royal doctors of Yartran to take care of her.”

Upon hearing that, Curtis, who was about to hang up the call, paused in his tracks.

“Is her situation very serious?”

Jeremy replied, “I guess so. I heard the probability of the babies surviving is minuscule. The doctor who examined her suggested that she undergoes surgery as quickly as possible. My friend also went to take a look and told me it’s highly plausible that Rayna is going to miscarry.”

A pause later, he lamented, “Jefferson is rather unlucky. As if it isn’t bad enough that his days are numbered, his hard-earned triplets might die before him.”

Curtis sneered coldly. “He has everything, and even if he does die, he’ll die without regrets. I can’t believe he and I were brought together by a woman even though we nearly spent our entire lives in two different worlds!”

Fate is really messed up!

Jeremy smiled. “If you despise him so much, why don’t you take over the Terblanc family? He must want to live, right? The drug was successfully developed, so you can use it as a bargaining chip.”

“There’s no need for that!”

Jeremy sighed. “I’d like to test the drug on him to see if I can earn myself a reputation.”

Curtis was rendered speechless.

Jeremy teased, “Say, Curtis, his kids should call you ‘uncle,’ right?”

Curtis did not reply to that.

He hung up the call with a grim expression before blocking Jeremy.

There were many matters to settle at work, so Curtis did not have the time to think about other things. He was busy with work the whole day and only returned home from the office at around nine o’clock.

As he advanced the stairs, he turned back to take a look and suddenly recalled Rayna kneeling stubbornly in the rain, pleading for his help.

Filled with frustration, Curtis swiped the keycard at the door and entered the building.

Lucky came prancing over, wagging its tail.

“I’m too busy to play.” Curtis waved the dog away indifferently.

He had ordered Gabriel to take Lucky away, but the dog was still staying at his place.

Curtis brewed himself a coffee. Just as he turned around, Lucky appeared in front of him.

It had a blue silk scarf in its mouth, wagging its tail at him fervently.

“Where did you get this?” Curtis took the blue silk scarf and realized it was the one Rayna wore when he saw the design.

Rayna had taken it with her, but it appeared at his place for some reason.

He gazed at the silk scarf for a long while before casting a glance at the coffee in his right hand, sighing deeply.

What did I do to deserve this? I must have owed her in my past life, so I must pay it back to her in this life.

Curtis unblocked Jeremy and called him. He instructed, “Jeremy, contact the best doctors you know and ask them to take a look at Rayna. Make sure they do their best to save her babies.”

“They won’t help just because you ask them to. You know, it’s about the price.”

Curtis massaged his temples. “I know. Send them there to take a look. I’ll owe them this time.”

Jeremy clicked his tongue. “Whoa, you’d do that for Ms. Garland? Is it for her sake? Or is it because you want to hear her children calling you ‘uncle?’“

Curtis replied coldly, “Jeremy, shut your trap! One day you’d be of no use to me, and I’ll make you watch as I cut your tongue off and roast it on the grill!”

Jeremy did not dare to tease Curtis anymore and scurried off to carry out the latter’s instructions.

Since Rayna woke up, there would be at least four doctors visiting her ward every day.

None of them were there for Jefferson.

They were all gynecologists. All of them would ask her questions about her pregnancy and do a thorough checkup on her body.

That made Rayna nervous, and she asked them if there were any problems with her pregnancy.

Jefferson comforted her, “They are fine. It’s just that it’s laborious for you to carry triplets, so I specially arranged for a few top-

notch gynecologists to check on you every day.”

“Is that so?” Rayna relaxed upon hearing that, for she knew Jefferson wouldn’t lie to her.

After a few days, another gynecologist visited her.

That gynecologist reminded Rayna of Jeremy as they exuded similar auras. They seemed more like researchers instead of regular doctors.

He left right after doing a checkup on Rayna.

The following day, he came back with some medicine and said that he had to inject it into Rayna’s stomach.

Initially, Rayna panicked, but she nervously revealed her stomach for the gynecologist to inject the drug under Jefferson’s encouragement.

After the injection, the gynecologist said to Rayna, “This injection needs to be done for one whole week. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

Rayna felt extremely uncomfortable after the first injection. Her chest felt stuffy, and she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Jefferson, who was also a patient, had to coax her to sleep.

After six consecutive days of getting the injection, Rayna’s babies began moving frequently in her womb again.

It was as if they were fighting in her womb, tormenting her.

When the gynecologist came to give her the last injection, Rayna told him about her condition truthfully when he asked her about it.

Upon hearing that, a smile spread across the gynecologist’s face. “The babies are very healthy. Ms. Garland, you have to make sure you rest well. Don’t get too emotional, or you’ll affect the babies. Do you understand?”

“I understand. Thank you.” Rayna nodded.

“It’s nothing.”

After the gynecologist left the ward, Ringo walked over to him. “Thank you for everything. I have sent you the money. Let me send you off.”

The gynecologist rejected him. “That’s okay. The remuneration is lucrative enough. I’ll take a taxi to the airport.”

Ringo did not insist after the gynecologist turned him down.

He left the hospital and hailed a taxi at the side of the road. After he got into the taxi, he took out his phone and called a number.

“How is she?”

The gynecologist answered proudly, “Of course she’s fine since I’ve been in charge of her. The babies are very healthy. I’m a genius, right?”

Jeremy chided him with a smile, “That’s enough. Stop boasting. You didn’t even develop the drug! You received money from both parties and even got Curtis to owe you a favor. You’re so lucky.”

The gynecologist replied modestly, “Nah, it’s nothing much. It’s not even enough for research. I’m intrigued, though. That woman isn’t pregnant with Curtis’ children. Why does he care so much?”

Curtis is even willing to owe me a favor for that woman’s sake. How weird. I guess I really am lucky.
