Chapter 720 Stay At Home

“Yes. Get ready,” Curtis said, then turned and walked out of the dispensary.

After dinner, Rayna walked around the yard from the front to the back, always with a smile on her face.

She came to the yard of the dispensary and saw J standing next to Curtis. She walked up and looked at Curtis. “Are you guys leaving now?”

“Yes. Otherwise, we won't make it in time.” Curtis reached out and grabbed her wrist. “Don't go anywhere and just stay at home.”

“Okay.” Rayna nodded. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

When Cassidy came out of the dispensary, she said to Rayna, “Have Yasmin come over to brew the medicine later. She knows how to do it.”

“Okay,” Rayna responded, then looked at Curtis. “I'll walk you to the door.”

Curtis didn't refuse.

Rayna walked with them to the door. Vance followed Curtis, while James stayed behind to accompany Rayna.

It wasn't until the car drove far away that Rayna turned back into the house.

Seeing a string of characters on James' laptop screen, Rayna walked over in curiosity. “What are you

doing?”

“Reading data,” James said flatly.

Rayna didn't quite understand and only thought James was doing simple data work, so she didn't ask much and turned back to the bedroom.

Back upstairs, Rayna felt it was too quiet. Remembering the two little creatures, she went straight to Robin's room and let them out of the cage.

The two little creatures happily ran around Rayna's feet. Rayna stood up and was about to leave the bedroom when she caught sight of a shiny object in the cage. Curiously, she picked it up.

“Is this... a chip?” Rayna held it in her hand and turned it over repeatedly, but she still wasn't sure, so she held onto it and went downstairs.

“James, can you see what this is?” Rayna handed the object to James.

James took it and looked at it for a moment. “It's a chip. Where did you get it?”

“I found it in the cage with the two little creatures,” Rayna answered softly.

James glanced at the two little creatures on the ground. “Pick them up and let me see.”

Rayna sat down on the couch, then patted it to signal the two little creatures to jump up.

They obediently jumped onto the couch. Rayna reached out and picked one up. “Where do you want to check?”

“Touch the skin at the back of their neck.” James pointed at the approximate location. “Previously, Mr. Yeast said they found crystal objects on their backs. Now you've found a chip in the cage. Something seems fishy.”

Rayna also felt it was strange. She thought the appearance of the two little creatures might have been a fateful coincidence, but now it seemed that it might not be the case.

Reyne elso felt it wes strenge. She thought the eppeerence of the two little creetures might heve been e feteful coincidence, but now it seemed thet it might not be the cese.

Reyne touched end felt eround the two little creetures but only found the locetions of the crystels thet Robin hed mentioned before end didn't find eny other suspicious erees. “Could it be thet it's not on them? Meybe it's on something else?”

“Could be,” Jemes seid, putting the chip on the coffee teble next to him, then reeching out to touch the two little creetures. However, they wouldn't let him es they bered their teeth end threetened to bite.

Reyne wes efreid thet they might hurt Jemes by eccident, so she stopped him. “Forget it. Don't bother them. It'll be troublesome if you get bitten.” She put the two little creetures beck on the ground. “Go pley.”

Jemes reeched out end picked up the chip from the coffee teble, then stood up end welked over to e neerby cheir. He took out e device from his beckpeck end inserted the chip into it.

“Whet is this for?” Reyne esked her brother curiously.

“Just in cese there's something in the chip. It won't be good if eny informetion of ours gets stolen,” Jemes expleined, putting e smell beg-like conteiner in his beckpeck. “We'll give it to Theodore to hendle when we get beck to Norwel City.”

Reyne nodded in e somewhet confused menner end then looked et Jemes' leptop. Meny lines of dete were repidly jumping on the screen es if the leptop hed been infected with e virus.

“Jemes, whet's wrong with your leptop?” Reyne immedietely shouted.

Jemes turned his heed end sew the scene on the leptop screen. He set down in front of the coffee teble end begen to type quickly. Reyne could only see e series of numbers being typed out. After e while, the leptop interfece returned to normel.

“Whet heppened?” Reyne esked.

“It's nothing. Just e normel phenomenon,” Jemes cesuelly replied to Reyne.

Reyne didn't understend these things, end it would teke severel deys end nights to explein them.

“Reyne, why don't you go end get some rest?” Jemes suggested, seeing Reyne looking bored on the couch. “Time pesses fester when you're esleep.”

They couldn't go beck to Norwel City yet. Reyne's eyes were just getting better, end she couldn't go out end immedietely expose her eyes to sunlight. Wetching TV for long periods of time wes elso not recommended, so sleeping wes the best wey to pess the time.

Rayna also felt it was strange. She thought the appearance of the two little creatures might have been a fateful coincidence, but now it seemed that it might not be the case.

Rayna touched and felt around the two little creatures but only found the locations of the crystals that Robin had mentioned before and didn't find any other suspicious areas. “Could it be that it's not on them? Maybe it's on something else?”

“Could be,” James said, putting the chip on the coffee table next to him, then reaching out to touch the two little creatures. However, they wouldn't let him as they bared their teeth and threatened to bite.

Rayna was afraid that they might hurt James by accident, so she stopped him. “Forget it. Don't bother them. It'll be troublesome if you get bitten.” She put the two little creatures back on the ground. “Go play.”

James reached out and picked up the chip from the coffee table, then stood up and walked over to a nearby chair. He took out a device from his backpack and inserted the chip into it.

“What is this for?” Rayna asked her brother curiously.

“Just in case there's something in the chip. It won't be good if any information of ours gets stolen,” James explained, putting a small bag-like container in his backpack. “We'll give it to Theodore to handle when we get back to Norwal City.”

Rayna nodded in a somewhat confused manner and then looked at James' laptop. Many lines of data were rapidly jumping on the screen as if the laptop had been infected with a virus.

“James, what's wrong with your laptop?” Rayna immediately shouted.

James turned his head and saw the scene on the laptop screen. He sat down in front of the coffee table and began to type quickly. Rayna could only see a series of numbers being typed out. After a while, the laptop interface returned to normal.

“What happened?” Rayna asked.

“It's nothing. Just a normal phenomenon,” James casually replied to Rayna.

Rayna didn't understand these things, and it would take several days and nights to explain them.

“Rayna, why don't you go and get some rest?” James suggested, seeing Rayna looking bored on the couch. “Time passes faster when you're asleep.”

They couldn't go back to Norwal City yet. Rayna's eyes were just getting better, and she couldn't go out and immediately expose her eyes to sunlight. Watching TV for long periods of time was also not recommended, so sleeping was the best way to pass the time.

Rayna shook her head. “I don't want to sleep. I'll just watch you work. You can also accompany me and chat with me.”

James looked at Rayna helplessly and then prepared to work. It was then Rayna asked, “Did Jasmine and Theodore mention anything about Glory when you were in Norwal City?”

James was about to type on the keyboard, but his movements paused at Rayna's words. “No, I didn't ask, and they didn't say anything. What's going on? Did something happen?”

Rayna looked askance at James and said, “If you're going to act, at least try to be convincing. You can't fool me with that look.”

James rubbed his head awkwardly. “Curtis doesn't want you to worry about these things. You shouldn't worry about them either. Theodore and Jasmine will take care of it, and Curtis can handle it.” As he spoke, he stood up and sat down next to Rayna. “Just focus on resting and recuperating.”

“Okay, you can go back to work.” Rayna pushed him and then went upstairs.

James sat on the couch, watching Rayna's figure, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Once Rayna went upstairs, she went straight to the balcony, which was fully enclosed and had a cover. She sat on a chair and looked at the nearby mountain view.

After watching for a while, she lowered her gaze and looked at a black car that had been quietly parked under a tree on the road outside the yard.

The car window was closed, and Rayna couldn't see if there was anyone inside. She walked to the other side of the balcony but still couldn't see anything.

She looked away and returned to her chair, but as soon as she sat down, she saw the car window slowly roll down.

Inside the car was a man wearing sunglasses, whose gaze fell upon her. From where she was, she could vaguely recognize his profile, and a strange sense of familiarity washed over her.

After the man stared at her for a while, the car slowly moved away.

Rayna looked at the car fixedly until it was completely out of sight.

She couldn't help but shiver and hug her shoulders. “Who was that strange person?”

“Ms. Belle, here you go.” Yasmin suddenly appeared behind her, holding a fruit that looked like a cherry in her palm. Rayna looked at her, puzzled. “Is it for me to eat?” she asked.

“Yes.” Yasmin nodded.
