"How is he?" Raeleigh felt conflicted. Their relationship had ended, but she couldn't help caring about Jepherson's health condition. Jepherson slowly raised his head to look at Santiago while he continued to say, "He didn't sleep last night, so he is still asleep now." After a brief silence, Raeleigh replied, "Has he seen a doctor?" "Yes, but it did not help much. I won't be going back today, perhaps tomorrow too. Scarlette can accompany you. Don't get out of the house today." "I don't need anybody to keep me company." "I am going to hang up now." Jepherson stopped him just as he was about to end the call. He placed his hand on the phone. However, Raeleigh had already ended the call. A beeping tone came from his phone, indicating that the call had ended. Only then did Jepherson slowly withdraw his hand. "So what if she is our sister? If you can't overcome this mental barrier, is that still considered love? You should instead use it to pr
Raeleigh sat on her bed while staring into space. She was aware that Jepherson had gone abroad to receive treatment and to avoid her, but he had not recovered after a month. She wondered if his condition was that severe. The next morning, she tidied up her room. She kept the things she could take with her into a box. Raeleigh always stuck to the belief that people only got what they deserved. If it hadn't been for Jepherson's sickness, then Santiago wouldn't have left, and she wouldn't have had the chance to pack up her belongings and leave without getting stopped. After packing up, Raeleigh placed her things by the door and went to Novalie's room to chat with her. Cynthia and Scarlette stood by the door helplessly. They couldn't dissuade her from leaving, nor did they know what to do to prevent her from leaving. "Raeleigh, I won't be able to explain it to Mr. Santiago if you leave abruptly this way. When he comes back later, he won't let it off easily." Scarlet
Cynthia blocked Santiago's caller ID on her phone to prevent him from getting through when he tried to call her back. She arrived at the elevator lobby, turned on the recording function of her phone and put it in her bag before she entered the elevator to go to Room 307. After she came out of the elevator, she found Room 307 and knocked on the door. The door opened quickly. Cynthia gazed at the person standing in front of her. It was not Yanora, but a mediocre-looking middle-aged man. Cynthia said when she saw the man, "I'm sorry. I got the wrong room." "No, you came to the right room. Your sister told me to wait for you here. You are Cynthia Moore. I know you," said the man. Cynthia staggered briefly when she heard what he had said. She remained still and said, "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm looking for my sister, not you." With that, she turned around to leave. To her consternation, the man pulled her in and closed the door right away.
Raeleigh looked around the new residence. It was actually a decent place, but she was surprised to find that Xanthus would move in to live with her. Novalie had been sitting inside and watching television since they came. Xanthus had already got someone to clean up the place prior to their arrival, so there was no need for them to do the cleaning when they arrived. Raeleigh had bought some ingredients to prepare dinner. Xanthus examined Novalie and sorted out his own room. so that he d have space to put some of his favorite books in the room. Raeleigh cooked while Novalie indulged in television shows. Xanthus put on some simple decorations in the room before he went to the kitchen to help Raeleigh. "Is there anything I can help with?" asked Xanthus, who was standing in the kitchen. She shook her head and said, "It's fine. I am almost done. Wait for me outside. Dinner will be ready soon." "Let me help you, I can do it too." Xanthus took a look at the dishe
Raeleigh lay beside Novalie but had difficulty falling asleep the whole night. She managed to fall asleep in the end as dawn broke. She was feeling overwhelmed as she tried to let the fact that her parents were still alive sink in. In the morning, she found out that Yanora was accused of murder and would be imprisoned when she was watching the news on television. She walked over to sit down when she heard the sound of the news channel. As soon as she sat down, the news about Yanora popped up. Raeleigh listened for a while and couldn't help feeling that something was amiss. Even if it was to rescue Hadrian, Santiago wouldn't have done this. She wanted to call Santiago but before she could call him, she received a call from Scarlette. She was surprised to see her caller ID before she picked up the call. "Scarlette." "Raeleigh, I'm outside your house." Scarlette had been outside her house the previous night. She came but she did not show herself because
Inside the car, Deanna was in a daze. She wondered how she got out of the washroom. As Jacky drove, he extended his hand to take an apple and placed it on Deanna's lap. She lowered her head and gazed at it, pondering whether to eat it or not. Jacky held the steering wheel with one hand while he grabbed the apple with another hand to take a bite on it before giving it back to her. Only then did she say, "I'm not hungry!" With a gurgle from her stomach, her face turned pale with embarrassment. She hurriedly said, "I am only hungry now." As she spoke, she took the apple and chomped on it with satisfaction. Jacky glanced at her while he drove speedily. In the blink of an eye, they had left Capital City and were heading straight for the highway leading to Waverly Village. She said hurriedly, "I have to go back. I promised my brother that I'll go home tonight." Jacky ignored her. His car sped all the way down the highway before he dumped it and broug
After Deanna had finished preparing breakfast, she sat aside. Jacky sat down and gazed at her. He asked, "Is the food not tasty?" "No." She thought potatoes were alright but she didn't want to eat potatoes then. All she wanted was to go home. He stared at her and he then took a potato to eat. After that, he stood up and told her to have her breakfast quickly as they would be leaving right after this. Deanna didn't dare to defy him. She quickly finished her potato and went out to look for Jacky. Jacky waited for her outside. The moment she came out of the house, she saw him standing in front. She hurried over to tell him, "I've finished it." "Mmm, let's go." Jacky led the way and she followed him like a lost puppy. She had no idea where Jacky was heading, and she didn't dare to go against him either. All she could do was to follow him. They walked for a few miles, and she teetered arduously after him. She didn't realize it was such a long route when s
"Scarlette, calm down. I'll call and ask if there's any updates. You can save your worries for later if something has happened to her." Raeleigh called Zorion to inquire about Deanna. Zorion ignored her and hung up immediately. When she heard the beeping sound on the phone, Raeleigh understood that he was implying that she was being too nosy. In other words, it indicated that Deanna was safe and sound. "Deanna is fine." Raeleigh's eyes landed on Scarlette, who was on tenterhooks. She was surprised to hear what she had said. "What did he say on the phone?" Scarlette asked. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "Nothing. The fact that he did not say a word meant that she was alright." To Scarlette, her words somehow made sense but she wanted more reassurance. She got up and went to Deanna's house to look for her. After waiting for a long time, she finally saw Deanne walking out of the villa with a new phone in her hand. "Deanna, why didn't you tell m
