Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 625
It took the entire morning to put out the fire at the hospital.
The director of the hospital, Jorge Sutland, fainted in fright when he learned that Curtis’ wife had disappeared from his hospital.
The fire at dawn failed to frighten him until he heard about Rayna’s disappearance at the hospital. That distressing news caused
him to faint.
Soon, news of the strange event spread throughout half of Norwal City. Curtis’ wife was admitted to the hospital following an
accident and, while in a coma, vanished mysteriously from the hospital.
Her disappearance remained a mystery as most of the surveillance cameras in the hospital were broken. The only working
surveillance camera showed Theodore and the rest leaving Rayna’s ward. No one else was shown entering or exiting her ward.
The police investigation into the disappearance of Rayna in Norwal City yielded no results when surveillance footage of the traffic
revealed no trace of her. Not even a single suspicious vehicle was spotted.
After learning the news of Rayna’s disappearance, Linda became so overwhelmed that she passed out.
As a result, the share prices of Faymon Group, Happy Entertainment, and Glory dropped drastically.
Some shareholders began offloading their shares of the three companies in significant quantities.
Curtis naturally wouldn’t let that happen. He instructed Robin to purchase some of the dumped shares to prevent others from
acquiring them and potentially causing problems in the future.
However, he was only able to buy a portion of the shares as the remainder were purchased in bulk by an anonymous buyer.
Curtis watched the decline of Faymon Group and Happy Entertainment’s shares on his laptop screen and narrowed his eyes. He
looked up and instructed Robin, “Go and look into this.”
Rayna had been missing for a week. For the past week, the police force in Norwal City scoured every corner of the city but to no
avail. Curtis was worried, but he was obligated to handle Faymon Group’s real estate project and couldn’t get away.
He couldn’t bear to be away from the three children at home, especially Xareni. The little girl used to love clinging to him. Now, it
seemed she had sensed Rayna’s absence and clung to him even more.

Theodore felt responsible for Rayna’s disappearance. He had been preoccupied with finding a way to recover the surveillance
footage from the hospital in the hopes of uncovering a clue.
When Jasmine entered Theodore’s study with a freshly brewed cup of coffee, she saw him flipping through several files. On his
desk were the computer components and several surveillance camera components retrieved from the hospital.
“If you’re unable to handle it...” Jasmine hesitated, feeling sorry for him as he appeared exhausted. She wanted to suggest that
they could enlist others to search for Rayna’s location, even though it would take longer.
Theodore interjected, “I should bear responsibility for Rayna’s disappearance as I failed to take care of her for Curtis. There’s no
need to convince me to alter my stance. I’ve reached out to an old friend of mine who will be in Norwal City these few days to
help me. He thinks they are salvageable, too.”
Jasmine knew she couldn’t change his mind. She placed the coffee down on the coffee table and walked out of the study. Shortly
after, she returned with a basin of hot water and a towel.
When she entered earlier, she observed that Theodore seemed weary. She moistened the towel and approached Theodore to
wipe his face. “I’ll have the housekeeper bring you some food later. Make sure to eat it.”
“Okay, I’ll do that. Thanks, Darling,” Theodore responded. He leaned in and planted a gentle kiss on Jasmine’s cheek.
Jasmine looked at his laptop and noticed various technological and simulation products on the screen. Regardless, she wasn’t
an expert in the field and couldn’t understand any of them. Looking away, she tossed the towel into the basin and left his study.
Outside, she bumped into James, who had just rested for a short while in the guest room.
“Jasmine,” James greeted her with a lazy yawn. Jasmine grunted in acknowledgment. Her face was expressionless as she
descended the stairs.
James halted in his tracks, confused by her reaction. It seems like Jasmine doesn’t welcome us recently.
By “us,” he was referring to himself and Jeremy.
Time passed swiftly, yet the police still couldn’t find any useful clues.
Curtis initially feigned nonchalance, but he gradually grew dejected.

In the meantime, Theodore collaborated with his friend and James to restore the surveillance footage. They were making gradual
progress.
Forty minutes prior to sunrise on the day of Rayna’s disappearance, over an hour before the fire started, a nurse was spotted
pushing a cart near the VIP ward on the twelfth floor.
Jeremy observed the blurry video and fell into deep thought. A while later, he commented, “I don’t think that’s a female nurse.”
Theodore nodded in agreement as his brows furrowed up at the sight of the nurse on his laptop. “Yes, it doesn’t look like it.”
“That nurse is suspicious.” Jeremy looked at Theodore as James’ gaze remained fixed on the video playing on the laptop. “Look.
Is there someone else here?”
Hearing that, Theodore looked at the spot James pointed. There was a shadow at the corner of the wall. “This looks like a man.”
“Mm.” James nodded in agreement.
“Let’s see if there are other clues,” Jeremy reminded. He was aware that it couldn’t be a significant clue on its own.
James continued watching the video. A long while later, the screen was still black. By the time they thought there was no other
clue available, a man’s voice rang out, “I’m leaving with Belle now. Take care of the rest.”
The three froze instantaneously when they heard the man calling Rayna “Belle.”
After all, only a handful of people in the world would call Rayna “Belle.”
“We can narrow down our search now,” Theodore remarked as he narrowed his gaze. He hit the rewind button to hear the man’s
voice again. “Does the voice sound familiar to either of you?”
“I’ve never heard that voice before.” James shook his head and turned to Jeremy, who had remained quiet during their
exchange. Jeremy shook his head a moment later.
“Duplicate this and send it to Curtis,” Theodore instructed as he patted James’ shoulder. He then walked out of their lab.
Quickly, James trimmed out the audio and sent everything to Curtis’ email. Jeremy stood beside him, appearing to be lost in
thought while looking at the laptop screen.

In an old mansion situated on an island, a woman cast aside her blankets and rose from her bed.
Her maid pushed the door open and saw her standing barefoot on the carpet. She quickly approached her, bent down, and
offered her a pair of slippers. Gesturing for her to put them on, the maid asked, “Ms. Griffith, where are you going?”
“I feel suffocated here. I’d like to take a walk to get some fresh air,” the woman answered softly. Her eyes appeared hazy, and
her complexion was pallid, suggesting she had just recuperated from a serious illness.
