His Precious Love

Chapter 68

Chapter 68 All Females Look The Same

Rayna looked at the cart in confusion.

When did I order supper?

“Ms. Garland, this was prepared by that gentleman.” After the attendant entered the room, he placed the scrumptious dish and two medicine boxes on the table.

“Ms. Garland, this is to be administered to the wound. You are to use it in the morning and at night. This other one is to be consumed orally. He brought it back from Dartan to treat your vocal cords.”

The attendant was worried that Rayna did not understand him and unboxed the medicine. He squeezed it onto his hand to demonstrate to her. Then, he gently repeated which medicine was to be consumed or applied externally.

Rayna nodded and thanked the attendant by typing on her phone before sending him off.

She returned to look at the medicine on the table. Only Uncle Curtis knows I’m injured, so the attendant must have been referring to him, right?

Rayna pursed her lips and felt something warm seep into her heart.

The attendant left Rayna’s room. A tall man with young but icy facial features approached him in the corridor. He was wearing a black beanie and a leather jacket.

“Wait a moment.” James stopped in front of the attendant. His expression darkened as he used Anglandurn to ask, “Where’s the attendant who has been delivering food here previously?”

“He took leave due to family matters,” the attendant answered. A bead of sweat slid down his cheek due to James’ questioning. “The manager told me to replace him.”

The attendant felt slightly uneasy.

An Aplothian man had come to find him in the evening and gave him two thousand in Anglandurn currency and two boxes of medicine. He gave the attendant instructions to bring them to this room at night. The attendant was tempted by the money and accepted it.

“Is that so?” James played with the black wolf-shaped lighter with his fingers, making clinking sounds.

The attendant felt stressed by his light-hearted statement.

As the attendant debated whether to tell James the truth, Cillian slung his arm around James’ shoulder and patted it. He grinned. “Stop scaring him, James. He’s only delivering food. I saw it with my own eyes.”

He shot the attendant a look, and the latter immediately scurried off with the cart.

James turned around to look at the attendant’s retreating figure.

Cillian was perplexed upon seeing James’ actions. “It’s fine! I tried all the food already!”

“There’s only food?”

Cillian thought about it and suddenly recalled the medicine. “Oh, there are also two boxes of medicine, but I already inspected them. Don’t be so paranoid! We have such a strong defense. There’s no way there would be any incidents.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

James pushed Cillian’s hand away and leaned against the wall, saying, “We can only be more vigilant. We cannot let down our guards, as they did it right under our nose the last time.”

He felt frustrated upon thinking of that incident, as he always thought of himself as more exceptional than others. He never expected that the person Curtis brought would still get hurt under his watch.

James asked, “I heard her vocal cords are injured. Is she getting better?”

Cillian grinned. “No, when she spoke to me earlier, she was still typing on her phone. Ms. Garland asked for your name. Do you think she fell in love with you? She’s rather pretty. If you guys get together, it’s a great deal for you!”

“I don’t care about whether she is pretty or not.” James pursed his lips. Besides the two women back at home, every woman was the same to him, even Kristie.

“She’s gorgeous. You didn’t see her when she was in the pool just now?”

“No, I didn’t. Also, I’m not interested,” James replied flatly.

He only knew she was wearing a white one-piece swimsuit. Kristie had flooded him with calls before he had a chance to glance at Rayna. In addition, Cillian was keeping an eye on her, so he was not worried.

Then, they left after getting a message came from Curtis.

“Tsk, tsk. You’re wasting her good intentions,” Cillian lamented. He felt Rayna was interested in James, or she would not have asked for his real name.

He suddenly thought of something and chuckled. “James, when you talked about the two women back home, are you saying you have two older sisters? Are they pretty?”

James hummed in acknowledgment.

“T-Then, introduce them to me! I want a girlfriend,” Cillian said enthusiastically. Since James was younger than him, his two older sisters should be around his age.

“Sure.” James did not hesitate and shared Roxanne’s contact with Cillian. He smiled sinisterly. “However, she’s a celebrity now. It’s up to you whether you can succeed in making her your girlfriend.”

He could not wait for Roxanne to marry.

“Wow! She’s beautiful!” Cillian’s eyes widened at the sight of Roxanne’s profile picture. “James, don’t you have another sister? Why don’t you share her contact with me too?”

James’ expression darkened, and he bellowed, “Get lost!”

Upon seeing James’ cold expression, Cillian decided not to press him further. He quickly typed an introduction message to Roxanne and carefully took a picture of himself to use as his profile picture.

He was not picky about girlfriends because he had been single his entire life.

Roxanne did not reply to him for a long time. Cillian entertained himself with his phone, as he did not know whether it was due to her busy schedule. He got bored of it soon and decided to converse with James.

“James.”

“Yes.”

Cillian could not help but question, “Why are you so in need of money?” He knew James would do anything if Curtis gave the latter money.

James’ reply was short and succinct. “I’m poor.”

This rendered Cillian speechless.

He sized James up and enquired, “But, you don’t look like you’re poor. Also, you can get employed after your graduation. I remember there’s a specific rule regarding this in your school. You face the risk of being expelled if something happens during your work while you are still in school. Are you not afraid of that?”

Cillian had graduated from the school James was studying in and knew there were many strict rules. Also, if a student was expelled from their school, they could not start over from scratch. They would have to switch industries entirely.

Although James could earn a lot of money working for the rich, it would not be worth it if he got expelled.

“There are no rules in my eyes. Money is more important. They won’t expel me even if the school finds out about it.” James lowered his head as he played with his lighter.

Cillian widened his eyes. “What? Is a top student like you that confident?”

James grinned and glanced at him. “Yes, but I guess you have never got a taste of being in the top five in school.”

“James, are you insinuating I have poor grades?” Cillian pretended to weep.

Of course, he had gotten into the top five. His grades were not that bad!

“As I was poor before, I’ll do anything not to go through those times again. I want to protect my family members, too,” James said with a cold expression and kept his lighter.

James’ father’s business failed when his mother was still pregnant with James. His father viewed his mother as a liability and changed his nationality to marry a rich Jetroinan woman.

His family became the laughingstock of their neighbors. He became even more inferior when he went to school and got ridiculed by his classmates.

When he entered middle school, he started to give up on himself. He did not care about anything until Rayna came running to him with a wooden stick as his classmates beat him up in the alley.
