His Precious Love

Chapter 735

Chapter 735 Queen Serekos

“Our soil isn't suitable for Serekos to grow in. I genuinely have no idea how Mr. Zeller managed to cultivate them,” Cassidy explained. “He doesn't have a queen Serekos either; he only has a male Serekos. Male Serekos only reproduce with queen Serekos, and it has to be a natural reproduction, or else the Serekos won't survive.”

“This is something we have to find out later on.” Curtis gave Rayna a look after hearing Cassidy's explanation.

Rayna then asked, “Have you seen Mr. Zeller in person before?”

Right as that question left her mouth, Rayna sensed a shudder in Cassidy's hand. It seemed instinctual.

“No... I haven't. I've only heard of him.” Cassidy then retracted her hand from Rayna's before turning to enter the house. Before she went in, she pressed a spot with the mark of a circle, and the flower garden returned to its initial state.

At that, Rayna looked at the mark, realizing that she had never noticed it before.

Curtis then took photos of the marked spots on the wall with his phone and sent them to Theodore.

There were many secrets about the house that only a rare few knew about.

“It seems like there are many mechanisms in this house,” Curtis muttered to Rayna as he walked over

to her.

“Mhm,” Rayna responded before heading toward the house. “What time will we be going to the city center?”

Curtis checked the time. “In an hour.”

“Is Cassidy going to come with us?”

“It'll be best if you can convince her to come along.”

“I'll try.” Rayna then walked toward the stairs. When she saw Yasmin coming down the stairs and looking at Curtis, she turned to look at him again.

Curtis curled his lips as he watched Yasmin come closer and closer to him. “You're Yuna.”

Rayna, who was about to ascend the stairs, halted in her tracks upon hearing the man's words.

“You're smarter than her,” Yuna commented, turning around to flash Rayna a smile.

A chill ran down Rayna's spine when she saw the smile. In the next second, Cassidy's anxious voice traveled into her ears. “Yasmin! Yasmin!”

Cassidy rushed down the stairs with Yasmin in her arms. Upon seeing Yuna in the living room, she froze. “How... How did you come in here?”

“Yasmin must have let her in,” Rayna said. Glancing at the girl in Cassidy's arms, she then continued, “You swapped identities, didn't you?”

Cassidy blinked in surprise.

“The two of you look almost identical, so no one can tell. Both of you must have been swapping places all the time,” Curtis added after a glance at Yuna. “If my guess is right, Yuna's Yasmin, and Yasmin's Yuna.”

“Is that... so?” Cassidy was in disbelief. “How did you come to that conclusion?”

Even Rayna was staring at Curtis, astounded.

It was not that she had never suspected Yuna's and Yasmin's identities, but she never thought that the twins had swapped places from the very start.

“Mhm.” Yuna bobbed her head before turning to Cassidy. “I'm not a bad kid, and Yasmin's fine. She's only asleep because of the medicine.”

Cassidy lowered her head to look at Yasmin. “Why did you feed her medicine?”

“I don't want to go back to the mansion. I want to come back here...” Yuna blinked at Cassidy. “Yasmin said that she can go to school now. I want that too.”

It was only then Rayna's heart stopped racing. She was glad that the truth was not all too terrible.

At the very least, no one was dead.

“Ms. Cassidy, I know you don't like me that much—I know you like Yasmin more,” Yuna cautiously remarked. “I haven't done anything bad, and I've never hurt anyone...”

“Wait a minute. Curtis, what did you mean when you said Yuna is Yasmin and Yasmin is Yuna?” Cassidy interjected once she registered Curtis' words.

“The one who first came to the Gilroy residence was Yuna, the one standing here—not the one in your arms. If my speculations are right, the one in your arms is working for Mr. Zeller,” Curtis calmly explained. “Chances are, she's the one who lured the Serekos in previously. As for the reason behind her actions... You'll have to ask her yourself when she wakes.”

Curtis then shoved his hands into his pockets and checked the time again. “It's almost time for us to leave, Rayna. Cassidy, will you be coming with us? You might learn more if you do.”

Rayna stepped forward, about to persuade Cassidy to go with them, when she noticed Cassidy's hesitance. However, Curtis stopped her and shook his head.

“We'll be leaving first. You can join us once you're done with your matters,” Curtis said to Cassidy before holding Rayna's hand and exiting the living room. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Soon, the only ones left in the room were Yuna, Cassidy, and the sleeping Yasmin.

“Where did you get the information?” Rayna asked as she sat beside Curtis.

They were together all the time, but she never knew Curtis had been doing investigations.

Curtis reached out to circle his arm around Rayna. “It's a guess.”

“I'm serious.” Rayna did not believe that it was merely a guess; she knew it had to be a deduction stemming from his observation.

“Yasmin and Yuna aren't completely identical. You just never noticed it,” Curtis quietly said. “Only one of them likes eating sweets, but no one realized that either.”

Rayna scoured through her memories and abruptly recalled a moment when Yuna placed the sweet wrappers on her side of the table.

“Cassidy... knows about it, right?” Rayna's eyes flicked toward Curtis. “I saw Yuna deliberately putting the sweet wrappers in front of me earlier. Was it so that Cassidy won't notice anything amiss?”

“I guess so,” Curtis answered. “Many of the sweets in Cassidy's place were left untouched on the table. If Yasmin liked them, they would have been gone by now.”

Rayna found sense in his words. “But how did you know that Yuna's Yasmin and Yasmin's Yuna?”

Just as she said that, Curtis handed her his phone. “Take a look at it yourself.”

Once she took it, she realized the screen was showing Curtis' chat history with J and the others.

As it turned out, there were photos of the children's home in the chat. “How did they get these?” Rayna asked.

“J sent his men to look into the children's home. You'll realize that the two kids are quite different

people,” Curtis told her as he pointed at one of the children. “Can you tell if this is Yuna or Yasmin?”

Rayna studied the photos for a while before shaking her head. “Not really.”

They both looked the same to her. “I only know that their hair doesn't feel the same. One is softer, and one has a stiffer quality.”

Curtis arched a brow. “That's all?”

“Yes. I wouldn't have called you to tell you that Yuna's here otherwise,” Rayna muttered as she browsed through the rest of the photos. All of a sudden, a figure in one of the photos caught her attention.

Curtis leaned over a little. “What did you see?”

“Here. Doesn't it seem like someone's there?” Rayna pointed at the corner behind the children in the photo. “There's a shadow here, and it doesn't seem like the tree shade. It looks like a person.”

Curtis looked at the spot she was pointing at and noticed that there really was a person's shadow in the background. However, that was all he could see. “Maybe it's someone working at the children's home.”

Curtis reoched out to circle his orm oround Royno. “It's o guess.”

“I'm serious.” Royno did not believe thot it wos merely o guess; she knew it hod to be o deduction stemming from his observotion.

“Yosmin ond Yuno oren't completely identicol. You just never noticed it,” Curtis quietly soid. “Only one of them likes eoting sweets, but no one reolized thot either.”

Royno scoured through her memories ond obruptly recolled o moment when Yuno ploced the sweet wroppers on her side of the toble.

“Cossidy... knows obout it, right?” Royno's eyes flicked toword Curtis. “I sow Yuno deliberotely putting the sweet wroppers in front of me eorlier. Wos it so thot Cossidy won't notice onything omiss?”

“I guess so,” Curtis onswered. “Mony of the sweets in Cossidy's ploce were left untouched on the toble. If Yosmin liked them, they would hove been gone by now.”

Royno found sense in his words. “But how did you know thot Yuno's Yosmin ond Yosmin's Yuno?”

Just os she soid thot, Curtis honded her his phone. “Toke o look ot it yourself.”

Once she took it, she reolized the screen wos showing Curtis' chot history with J ond the others.

As it turned out, there were photos of the children's home in the chot. “How did they get these?” Royno osked.

“J sent his men to look into the children's home. You'll reolize thot the two kids ore quite different people,” Curtis told her os he pointed ot one of the children. “Con you tell if this is Yuno or Yosmin?”

Royno studied the photos for o while before shoking her heod. “Not reolly.”

They both looked the some to her. “I only know thot their hoir doesn't feel the some. One is softer, ond

one hos o stiffer quolity.”

Curtis orched o brow. “Thot's oll?”

“Yes. I wouldn't hove colled you to tell you thot Yuno's here otherwise,” Royno muttered os she browsed through the rest of the photos. All of o sudden, o figure in one of the photos cought her ottention.

Curtis leoned over o little. “Whot did you see?”

“Here. Doesn't it seem like someone's there?” Royno pointed ot the corner behind the children in the photo. “There's o shodow here, ond it doesn't seem like the tree shode. It looks like o person.”

Curtis looked ot the spot she wos pointing ot ond noticed thot there reolly wos o person's shodow in the bockground. However, thot wos oll he could see. “Moybe it's someone working ot the children's home.”
