Dear Sweetheart novel

Carl did not see Rayna’s car at the entrance. Curious, he asked, “Ms. Rayna, you didn’t drive today?”

“Nope, Mr. Tylinski drove me here.”

“Please wait for a moment. Let me go get the car keys.” As soon as he finished saying that, Carl swiped the front

door open and entered the house.

A long silence ensured.

About two minutes later, he returned with a pair of car keys for Rayna.

“When I was at the garage the other time, I saw Mr. Curtis’ flashy sports car. Come on, let’s take it for a spin.” His

face was beaming with joy.

Rayna did not know how to react. She stared at the keys in his hand and queried, “Aren’t you afraid of getting

punished for taking his keys without permission?”

“Not at all because Mr. Curtis dotes on me.”

Rayna was rendered speechless. In the end, she gave in, took the keys, and headed to the garage.

When she saw the Pagani, she was reminded of that one embarrassing incident when she threw up in the car after

getting drunk.

As she had dirtied his car seat, she even had to compensate him with money.

It had been a long while since that happened, and she never expected that she would get to sit in that same car

again, let alone drive it.

Rayna felt rather uneasy as the past memories came back to haunt her.

Upon entering the car, she remembered the dog was with them.

Before she could get Carl to lead Lucky back to the house, the dog had already positioned itself beneath the car

seat, leaning comfortably on Carl’s lap.

The corner of Rayna’s lips twitched when she saw that. “How did it manage to squeeze itself into the car? That’s

impressive.”

“Hurry up and start the engine, Ms. Rayna!” urged Carl.

He noticed Rayna’s bulging stomach after she put on her seatbelt and asked inquisitively, “Ms. Rayna, your tummy

looks bloated.”

Taken aback, Rayna looked at her baby bump.

She had been so busy managing the affairs of Sanders Group that she had forgotten how Wyatt pushed her and

caused her tummy to hit the sharp corner of the desk.

“Oh yes, that’s right. I’m pregnant, you see.” Rayna replied while igniting the car engine, “I’m not feeling too good.

Let’s make a trip to the hospital before going to get some groceries.”

Carl was stunned at first, but he became very excited the next moment. “Really? How many babies are in your

tummy, Ms. Rayna?”

“I’m pregnant with triplets.”

“Wow!” Carl’s eyes widened in shock. “It must be hard to carry three babies.”

Rayna flashed him a smile. “It’s not too bad. Are you happy that you’re going to have a wife?”

Carl nodded. Suddenly, he recalled something and asked, “Ms. Rayna, are the triplets Mr. Curtis’ children?”

“Is that important?” Rayna side-eyed the little fellow. “Have you forgotten what you said? Are you going to reject

them should they don’t belong to Curtis?”

Carl shook his head vigorously. “No, no. It’s not easy to get a wife these days, especially one who looks as gorgeous

as you. Let’s go to the hospital now.”

Rayna chuckled at the boy’s remark.

After arriving at the hospital, Rayna proceeded to register herself with a specialist and waited for about half an hour

for her turn.

She informed the doctor about how old were the babies as well as the mishap that happened in the morning.

Meanwhile, Carl was counting with his fingers.

So, that’s how long Ms. Rayna’s been pregnant. In that case, the babies clearly don’t belong to Mr. Curtis. Then,

who’s the father?

Carl was dejected.

After an hour-long examination, Rayna was relieved to learn that the babies were all right.

When she was about to leave, the gynecologist stopped her in her tracks. “I should prescribe you some medicines.

Make sure you take them regularly.”

“Okay. Thank you so much.”

Rayna noticed that the doctor’s hand was trembling slightly when the latter was using the mouse. “Your hand is

shaking. Have you been overworking? Should I get you a nurse?” she asked, her tone laced with worry.

“I’m fine, thank you. I’ll knock off after seeing one more patient. Please proceed to the first floor to collect your

prescriptions and make payment.”

Subsequently, Rayna left without saying anything else.

“How’s it, Ms. Rayna?” Carl strode toward her and asked, “Are the triplets healthy and well?”

“They are doing great. Let’s go to the first floor to get the medicine.”

“I have my credit card with me. Let me go get it for you. You must be tired.” Swiftly, Carl took the prescription note

from Rayna’s hand and hurried away.

Before Rayna could react, the boy had already run off into the distance.

Carl went to the counter to make the payment first before queuing up for the medication.

Soon, it was his turn. He stood on tiptoes and handed the note over the counter.

The nurse couldn’t see the little boy and looked left and right, baffled.

“Hmm? Where’s the patient?”

Carl tried pushing himself higher above the counter, showing his face. “I’m here.”

The nurse glanced at him and checked Rayna’s note. Shortly after, she went inside to get the medication.

While waiting, Carl sighed and reflected on himself. I must eat well and do more exercise in order to grow taller.

Otherwise, I won’t be able to run errands for my future mother-in-law.

Upon receiving the medicine, Carl browsed through them.

There was not much information on the packaging, and he could not understand most of them. Hence, he took a

picture of it, thinking of doing some research after they got home.

At that moment, Rayna approached him and asked, “Have you gotten everything?”

“Yes!” Carl kept his phone and passed Rayna the bag. “Here you go.”

She patted his head and asked, “Thanks for doing this. Let’s go to the supermarket. What would you like to eat

tonight?”

“I’d love to have some grilled pork.”

“Sure! Let’s go get some pork and I’ll cook for you.”

With that, the duo went grocery shopping for ingredients and some daily necessities.

It was a pet-friendly mall. Anyone could bring their pets along as long as they were on a leash.

Lucky trailed behind the both of them faithfully like an imposing bodyguard.

After shopping, Rayna walked toward the escalator with Carl.

She was carrying two big bags. Before she could balance herself on the escalator, someone slammed into her from

behind.

As a consequence, Rayna fell forward.

In the nick of time, the vigilant Lucky pounced forward and snagged her coat with its mouth, pulling her backward.

Rayna had a trench coat on due to the cold weather.

Lucky grabbed hold of the hem of her coat, but Rayna’s heavy body weight made it difficult for her to regain

balance. She was not able to get a steady foothold on the escalator. As if that wasn’t bad enough, her trench coat

also began slipping off as Lucky continued pulling it backward.

Carl merely froze for a second when he saw Lucky leap in Rayna’s direction. He followed suit and grabbed the leash

that was tied around Rayna’s wrist, using all his might to pull the woman toward himself.

Rayna stumbled backward from the impact.

Thankfully, Lucky supported her waist with its body, or she would have fallen flat on the floor.

Carl released the leash and helped Rayna up. “Ms. Rayna, are you okay?” he asked.

“I’m… I’m fine.”

Rayna’s body was still tense as she broke out into a cold sweat. Glancing at the escalator, she almost shuddered in

fear.

It was terrifying to imagine the consequences of falling off the escalator—she might be dead or paralyzed.

“Miss, I’m so sorry.” The person who ran into her finally came back to her senses and rushed over to help Rayna.

“I was completely engrossed in a conversation with my husband that I didn’t notice you all. I’m terribly sorry.”

“Get your hand off her!” Infuriated, Carl slapped the woman’s hand away. “Why didn’t you grab hold of Ms. Rayna

after you accidentally bumped into her?”

“I… I… I’m sorry.” The woman was on the verge of tears. “I was in a daze and didn’t react in time.”

The woman’s husband kept apologizing to Rayna. “The floor is somewhat slippery. My wife, too, nearly fell down.

I’m sorry that I didn’t grab hold of you immediately.”

Carl bellowed furiously, “I think the two of you did it on purpose!”

Rayna’s face was still as white as a sheet.

She gazed at the woman and realized that the latter was visibly pregnant. The woman placed an arm on her waist,

seemingly having trouble moving around.

“That’s enough, Carl.” Rayna stopped him from pursuing the matter. “Let’s go and check the surveillance

cameras.”

Had it not been for Lucky and Carl, Rayna and her triplets would have suffered a horrible consequence.

Afterward, all of them went to the surveillance room.

The person in charge looked troubled when he learned what had happened. “I’m sorry. The surveillance camera in

that area has been out of order for two weeks now. I’m afraid I got nothing to show you.”

Rayna narrowed her eyes skeptically and responded, “What a coincidence! The camera happens to be broken when

I request to take a look at it?”
