Jepherson did not answer Raeleigh's question. As soon as they got home, Jepherson led Raeleigh upstairs for a shower first. They had been busy these past couple of days and had to worry about Deanna. Raeleigh put aside all of her worries and went to take a shower. Then, she lay down on the bed and thought about her and Jepherson. She felt a little fickle and impatient as she lay on the bed. After Jepherson dried off his hair, he walked towards the bed. He sat on it and looked at Raeleigh. He asked her whether she was tired. Raeleigh replied, "A little. Are you going to take a rest?" "No, I'm going to head out and check on Santiago and Zorion. I need to know what their plans are. If my grandmother finds out about this, then it will be very troublesome." Jepherson lowered his head and kissed Raeleigh. Although he was reluctant to leave, he had no choice. Thus, he left after giving her a kiss. Raeleigh's mood was much better after Jepherson left. However, she found
Serra quickly found the first aid kit and brought over some ice. Raeleigh helped Scarlette clean her wound. Scarlette looked much calmer right then compared to moments ago. She sat on the couch and remained silent. She was so quiet that it was a little scary. Raeleigh touched Scarlette's hands and realized that they were a little cold. Then, she asked, "Why are your hands so cold? Are you having a fever?" Raeleigh placed her hand on Scarlette's forehead to check her temperature, but it was cool. "Serra, can you bring me the thermometer?" Raeleigh instructed Serra. Serra immediately went looking for the thermometer but failed to find it. Raeleigh let go of Scarlette's hand and tried to find it on her own. In the end, she realized that the thermometer had fallen in between the gaps. It was no wonder Serra could not find it. Once Raeleigh found it, she slid the thermometer under Scarlette's arm, taking Scarlette's temperature. Scarlette sat on the couch and d
Hadrian knocked on the door for a long time, but Scarlette was still unwilling to open the door. Raeleigh heard it, but she did not want to interfere with their matters. It was better for them to solve it on their own. She did not want to cause any unnecessary problems again. "Please open the door," Hadrian said, getting impatient. The coldness was emanating from his body. Scarlette remained seated on the bed, not wanting to move at all. She did not want to see Hadrian. She would rather die than to see him. She already had made up her mind. If they were not able to find Deanna, then she would come up with a way to find her. If they found her, then she would go abroad to study. Jepherson once said that she could do whatever she wanted and that included going abroad to study. Then, that was what she was going to do. She was going to go abroad to study and do things that she had always wanted to do. She did not want to return ever again. While Scarlette was d
Scarlette's injury was bad, but she was feeling much better then. She was then lying on the bed, allowing Hadrian to take care of her. Hadrian covered Scarlette with a quilt, got up, and said, "Thank you, Dr. Osteen." "You're welcome. Remember to watch what she eats. She's not allowed to eat any raw or spicy food. She has a bone bruise. If it's not cured, then it'll cause her trouble in the future," Xanthus said as he reached for his medicine box and took out a syringe. "I'll have to give her an injection. She'll need to have an injection everyday for the next week until her injury heals." Xanthus spoke as he gave Scarlette the injection. Hadrian walked over to Scarlette and said, "If it hurts, then just yell." "Don't worry about me. It doesn't hurt." She put her hand by her side and frowned when it hurt. Hadrian looked extremely worried. After Xanthus gave her the injection, he turned around and started packing up his things to leave. Raeleigh walke
After seeing Xanthus off, Raeleigh made her way into her grandmother's room. Novalie was actually waiting for her. When she saw Raeleigh, she asked Raeleigh to sit beside her. Raeleigh did as she was told and waited for Novalie's question. Novalie then asked, "Do you feel that you're not related to Xanthus?" Raeleigh raised her head and looked at her grandmother. "I always thought that I was..." "No, you're out of your mind. Stop thinking that you're related to Jepherson. You're not. You must not be so irresponsible. You're carrying his baby now." "I've been through so much, and I'm much more experienced than you. Xanthus is not a bad person. If he was, then he would not have troubled himself to find you over and over again. If he wanted to harm someone, then he could have just asked someone to do it for him." Novalie understood the situation. She stared at Raeleigh. She did not want her granddaughter to take the wrong path. After all, the baby was innocen
Raeleigh woke up before Jepherson the next morning. She wanted to get out of bed before he did. However, just as she was about to get out of bed, she felt Jepherson's hand reach over and pulled her back into bed. "Aren't you tired from last night?" Jepherson had just woken up. He sounded a little groggy. Raeleigh lay back on the bed, saying, "I just wanted to check on Scarlette." "You're ditching your handsome husband to go and check on Scarlette?" Jepherson chuckled softly. Raeleigh did not know what else to say, so she told him about what happened the night before. Only then did Jepherson understand. "Lie down for a while. I think you shouldn't interfere with their problem. Scarlette will figure it out. They've been together for quite a while. Hadrian really needs a change. He's too cold towards her," Jepherson said, taking Raeleigh's hand. Then, they went back to sleep and only woke up at noon. After Raeleigh got up, there was only one thing that made her fee
Scarlette clenched her fist and said, "When I get out, I will be sure to kill you!" "I hope we'll have a baby sooner," said Hadrian. Scarlette snorted coldly and said, "Shame on you! I will not have any children with you. Just give up!" Scarlette was sick. The doctor once told her that she was infertile. It was difficult for her to get pregnant. However, right then, Scarlette no longer cared about this matter. The person she cared about was destined to be bullied. She was the one who bullied others. "Are you being stubborn?" Hadrian stared fixedly at Scarlette's mouth. She was not trying to be stubborn. It was just that she could not control her emotions. She suddenly said to Hadrian, "Yes, I mean what I say." Hadrian put down his phone and threw himself at Scarlette. She had never thought that Hadrian meant what he said. He lifted the quilt and pulled her towards him. She struggled to get up. Hadrian pressed her hands on the bed and lowered his head, kiss
Hadrian was left with no choice and had to sleep outside. Raeleigh then dragged Jepherson out of Raeleigh's room. Her face was flushed. "You're embarrassing me!" Raeleigh said. After all, he was the eldest son of the Richards family. How could he do such an embarrassing thing? How could he fight with Scarlette over who gets to sleep with Raeleigh? Jepherson did not take it seriously. He led Raeleigh back upstairs and turned to look at Serra. He said, "Don't let Hadrian in tonight." "Yes, Mr. Jepherson." Serra agreed. Then, Jepherson brought Raeleigh back to the room. When they entered the room, she stood at the door and looked at Jepherson. "You're the young master of the Richards family. How can you treat Hadrian like this?" Hadrian was always on standby, willing to do whatever Jepherson asked him to do. It was already autumn, so it was cold at night. There was no doubt that sleeping outside was like asking to catch a cold. As soon as Jepherson entered th
