Chapter 65 At Havencrest PrMedical Center, the best minds in medicine were gathered in the conference room, their faces drawn with concern as they discussed Raymond's condition. Hours passed, but their debate led nowhere no one had answers.
Meanwhile, Raymond lay inside one of the hospital's newest diagnostic machines, undergoing yet another round of tests. The results, as always, cback completely normal.
Calvin adjusted his glasses, his tone grave. "Raymond, you haven't had any heart pain for months. Why did it suddenly flare up again?" It had been several months since Raymond's last episode, and Calvin had hoped the worst was behind them. Raymond searched his memory, trying to recall anything unusual in his recent life. He finally replied, his voice even, "I'm not sure. Ever since Citrine cback, I haven't felt that kind of pain in a long time." Calvin rubbed his temples, clearly frustrated.
"What exactly happened the day your heart acted up? Walkthrough it," he pressed.

As Raymond spoke, a realization seemed to dawn on him. "That night, Citrine and my father got into an argument and she left early. He was furious. When I ran outside to look for her, she was already gone. That's when the pain started." Calvin's suspicions deepened. "Was your daughter especially upset that night compared to usual?" "Yeah." Raymond nodded, the memory clear now.
Every tCitrine's emotions ran high, his heart trouble seemed to flare up in tandem.
It was ridiculous-like sbizarre father-daughter psychic bond.
Calvin had never encountered a case this baffling; there probably weren't more than a handful like it in the entire country. He'd only ever seen anything like it in or TV s.
Calvin sighed. "If you want to get to the bottom of this, maybe the answer lies with your daughter." If medical science had no explanation, perhaps something stranger was at play. Raymond ignored him, picking up his phone and glancing at it before quickly setting it aside. He thought he hid his disappointment well, but Calvin caught it instantly.
"What's wrong? Missing your daughter?" Calvin teased with a chuckle.
He clicked his tongue, shaking his head. "Raymond, you've been stuck in this hospital for days now, and your precious girl hasn't visited you once." Calvin had spent nearly every day and night at the hospital with Raymond, and not once had Citrine even sent a message.
"That's rough, man," Calvin continued, never one to hold back.
"Calvin, doa favor and shut up." Raymond's fist clenched under the covers as he ground out the words, jaw tight.
Staring at his silent phone, the absence of any message from Citrine weighed heavily on him.

"All right, I'll drop it," Calvin said quickly, not daring to push his luck. Raymond didn't bother to respond. He was in no mood for conversation.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
Calvin stood and went to open it.
As the door swung open, he found himself face-to-face with Citrine.
"Well, hello there. Here to see me?" Calvin's eyes lit up with his trademark flirtatious grin. He straightened his shirt, all charm and bravado. Citrine eyed him warily, instinctively taking a few steps back.
"Excuse me, is this Raymond's room?" she asked, double-checking ve the room number to be sure.
