Raeleigh and Xanthus had been reading books for the whole afternoon inside the room. Then, Raeleigh fell asleep. Xanthus then placed some medicinal herbs on her knee, and Xanthus then fell asleep while keeping an eye on Raeleigh. It was late when he woke up. Xanthus got up to prepare dinner. The door was locked, so Raeleigh stayed in the room and didn't go out. Even if Jepherson wanted to come in, he couldn't. Things were busy downstairs. After Scarlette knocked several times on the door, Raeleigh still remained silent. She stood at the door and called out to her, "Raeleigh, please open the door." Raeleigh didn't answer. Instead, she read a book about Shakespeare. "Raeleigh, are you in there?" Raeleigh knew Scarlette was standing outside the whole time, but didn't she didn't go out. Scarlette soon gave up and went downstairs. Xanthus ordered takeout for dinner. He didn't want to eat with so many people around. The food was brought over to the t
Marissa woke up early the next morning. She felt ill and uncomfortable the night before, but the medicine she took was effective. She started to dress up and wanted to look her best as her son was coming back with his wife to visit her. Stella was also fine that day. Marissa arranged for Stella to be dolled up, so she was given a complete makeover. Following Jenna's arrangements, she was a completely different person and looked like a noble lady. Marissa called Jenna after finishing the preparations. Jenna told her that she was about to arrive home. She was already in Capital City, but was stuck in heavy traffic near the airport. "Of course traffic's going to be slow, as it's the peak hour of the day. But it's fine, take your time, everything here is fine." Marissa comforted Jenna. "I know, you don't have to worry about me too," Jenna replied. "Okay." Marissa hung up the phone and looked at Stella, who was sitting next to her. "Don't worry, I will help you
After returning to Green Jade Garden, Jenna breathed a sigh of relief. It was too tiring to accompany her mother-in-law. It would be very tiring to plan so many things while a person is alive. At that moment, Hansen was sitting in the living room of Green Jade Garden, accompanied by a few servants. The father and son were sitting across from each other, playing chess. They were playing chess and talking at the same time. Jenna entered the room while the father and son were talking. "Remember everything that has happened. Don't think that you can do anything without a care when I'm not here. You'll start to suffer when both of you are married." Hansen was rarely mean to his son. He would always think from his wife's perspective, and his wife was his backbone. He would do whatever his wife wanted him to do. Jepherson held a chess piece. "Is there a time when your heart hurts so badly that you can't breathe?" He lowered his head slightly. Th
"I know very well that my disease is already beyond treatment. What's more, cancer is not a disease that you can cure with money. In that case, I don't really see a reason to treat it. Whether I'm going to be dead or alive, it'll be up to fate." Lamarre got up from the bed, took two painkillers, and put them in his mouth. He did not swallow it with water. He lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Right then, he looked like a normal person again. "I have been diagnosed with lung cancer. When my disease attacks, I will have a high fever and have symptoms of a cold. Raeleigh saw that I had a high fever and thought that I was only having a cold." Jepherson looked at Lamarre and said, "You are an employee of the company. I won't let you get sick. You have to be treated immediately. There is no room for negotiation." "It's impossible for you to control me." Lamarre stood by the side for a while. He opened the curtain and looked at the sunset outside the window. He
Hansen was so angry that he fainted. Marissa was so frightened that she followed him all the way to the hospital. She was in distress. She stared at her son, who was slowly waking up but did not have the strength to speak. Looking at her daughter-in-law's pale face, she did not speak. When the ambulance arrived at the hospital, Hansen was sent to the emergency room. After two hours of emergency treatment, he was safe. The moment he came out, he was covered with tubes. Marissa felt dizzy and could not stand still. She held Stella's hand and followed her to sit down. She was scared. Stella frowned. Everybody around her was busy, and she was the only calm one in the scene, watching everything around her. Marissa's heart was still fluttering with fear, and she was too old to stand up. Still, she managed to stand and followed Stella to the ward. Jenna was also scared out of her wits. Sitting by the bed, she held Hansen's hand tightly and addressed him over and over a
Raeleigh came out of the elevator and saw Jepherson standing outside the intensive care unit with his hands behind his back. He was dressed in a gray coat. Because of the weather, he was still wearing his coat. Hearing footsteps, Jepherson turned to look at the elevator door. Raeleigh stopped and remained still with Stuart standing behind her. Stuart felt that he was redundant, so he simply left through the elevator. "Come here," Jepherson called her. Raeleigh hesitated for a few seconds and she then walked towards Jepherson. Facing Jepherson's solemn and cold face, she felt a sense of sadness. She did not know what this was for, but she could not help but to approach it. Raeleigh did not know what love was. It was hard for her to tell what it was. But she had never been like this. When she heard that he was in trouble, she abandoned everything and came to see him. And also... When he asked her to come closer, she just hesitated for a moment, and she then
Jenna said a lot of things, but Raeleigh was being pressured by the guilt Jenna was trying to cast on her. So, she had no chance to refute her. Raeleigh observed for a while, while Hansen was lying on the bed beside them. He was resting, but even so, Raeleigh felt that he was uncomfortable listening to their conversation. This was Hansen's ward. No matter what her identity was, there was something wrong with her being here. "Aunt Jenna..." "Raeleigh, what's wrong with you? Are you still unwilling to forgive Jerry? I've heard Jerry talk about it and I know why it's like this." "I'll tell Jerry about this. It's all his fault. Look, Dad's now sick. It's all because Jerry had treated you badly, and because of that... incident! Raeleigh... can you please forgive him?" Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. Jepherson still looked calm, but her eyes were full of mystery. Raeleigh didn't know what to say to Jepherson. Jenna and Jepherson used both hard and soft
Although Marissa was not there, Raeleigh found that the Richards Manor was still in order, which made her feel comfortable. The servants greeted her when they saw her. They all called her Madam Raeleigh, which she was still not accustomed to. Breakfast will be cooked by Jepherson, but he ordered people to prepare the ingredients. Raeleigh was brought to the kitchen by Jepherson and it was her first time in the mansion's kitchen. There were too many people and things inside, and it was very big. At first, Raeleigh went into the kitchen and stood there for a while. Then, people went out one after another and the kitchen looked more spacious. Jepherson put on an apron and walked to the side of the stove. He placed the prepared white rice into the pot, closed the lid, and turned on the fire. He shredded some meat while waiting for the porridge to boil. Raeleigh did not know what to do. She could not help him in any way, so she could only stand to the side and watch Jepher
