Jenna was about to go to the elevator when Hansen paused for a moment. He looked at the elevator, his ears perking up. There were four or five people, and their footsteps were brisk. After taking two steps back, Hansen pulled her and made a "shh" sign. He walked to Raeleigh's ward and opened the door, pushing Jenna in. "Don't come out," he said urgently. Santiago was sitting inside of the ward. Seeing his mother's nervous expression, he immediately knew that something had happened. He stood up and looked back at Xanthus. "Take care of my Mom and Raeleigh." "Santiago, what's wrong?" Jenna clutched his arm and looked up at him. Santiago's face was filled with glee. "Maybe you should ask your good ol' mother-in-law." Jenna yelped and released her younger son's hand. She didn't respond for a long time and couldn't react at all. Only then did Santiago walk to the door. "Bloody h*ll, why is she so freaking troublesome! What on Earth is Grandpa doing now? I
After the door was closed, Raeleigh looked at the two people sitting down in front of her. Jenna immediately whined, "Xanthus is Raeleigh's brother. How can you be so bossy? You are truly hopeless!" "I was already polite enough, you see. Raeleigh is my daughter-in-law, which makes her brother our family. I'm only asking him to lend a hand with family matters." Hansen's words held another meaning. Raeleigh knew very well that he was making a statement, that come what may, they had already acknowledged her as their daughter-in-law. It was an immutable fact. But Raeleigh always felt like this was all a joke. The entire Richards family was in a train wreck because of a woman, and she was the culprit. But that was not a good time for her to speak up. She didn't want them to think that she was turning down their favor, so Raeleigh didn't say anything. The room became quiet. Raeleigh was nodding off. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Relieved, Jenna looked at
The four of them followed Hansen s usual habits. Jenna helped by the side and soon changed all the things in the ward. When they came out, they greeted Santiago politely, "Mr. Santiago." "S up." Santiago gave a casual reply and the four of them left with the things in their hands. Xanthus glanced at Hansen's room. The door was closed and Jenna's nagging voice could be heard inside. "Are you happy now?" Xanthus did not hear Hansen giving a reply, indicating that he should be asleep. Santiago was busy dealing with things on his end. In the corridor, he was calling for reinforcements. Xanthus helped him watch over Hansen for a while. When his bodyguards arrived, he went back to visit Raeleigh. After entering through the door, Xanthus sat down and stared at Raeleigh. She opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" "Nothing much. I was a little worried when I saw Hansen." Xanthus felt that Hansen was not an ordinary person. He was someone who
Jacky laughed. "He's your elder brother, and ultimately your family. Didn't you say that he wouldn't hurt you? Since he won't hurt you, that must be him browbeating. Also, why can't I speak up for him? Do you want me and your older brother to be at loggerheads in the future?" Deanna blinked and shook her head. "Of course I don't want to. But he doesn't like our baby. You are the baby's father. Shouldn't you be angry?" "He thinks about this matter from the perspective of your family. To be honest, I understand him. If my sister had a child with a strange man without telling her family, then I would have gone ballistic. This is a very normal thing, it's nothing out of the ordinary. On the contrary, it proves one thing, that your brother really loves you." Deanna blinked. "He is my brother. I just pretended to be angry with him, but I'm still worried that he will hurt our baby." "Didn't you say that he didn't mention anything about terminating the pregnancy? This t
Seeing him, Zorion turned around and flopped down on the couch, holding his ground. After sitting down, Zorion coughed twice and wiped his mouth with a tissue. He looked up at the person who came in through the door. Tetsuo walked up to Zorion first. He stopped and said, "Mr. Zorion, Miss Deanna brought a friend with her." "I heard you." Zorion's expression was less than genial, but he held back his cough. "I've fulfilled what I promised." Jacky stood there, with his hand still tightly gripping Deanna's. Zorion caught a glimpse of Deanna's hand and felt funny. They were twins indeed. They both fell hard when it came to love. "Deanna, go upstairs with Scarlette and get some rest. Allow me to have a word with Jacky." Concerned, Deanna turned to look at Jacky. "Why don't you go ahead?" Jacky patted her shoulder and released her hand. His other hand pulled the luggage over and with his eyes on Tetsuo, said, "Please, sir. These are the c
Jenna was so angry that she didn't know what to say. "How can you say that? This young man is fine. I know a suave man when I see one. What's there not to be acknowledged about? I think he is worthy of Deanna. Don't talk nonsense. What do you know about him? Besides, weren't you young once, too?" Jenna looked at Jacky. "Your name is Jacky, right?" "Yes, ma'am." "Don't listen to his nonsense. There's no such thing. Don't worry, I'm on your side." Jenna immediately turned around. Looking grumpy, Hansen said, "Alright, I'm starving. I want something to eat. Let's eat." "Well, it's about time. Jacky, stay and join us for the meal." Jacky stared strangely at Jenna, completely clueless as to what was going on. Santiago walked to the side and handed an apple to Jacky. When he threw it over, his movements and thoughts were unintentional. However, Jacky's response was swift. He raised his hand and grabbed the apple, taking Jenna by surprise.
Xanthus proceeded to check Stuart's fractured bones. After more than an hour of examination and then another hour of reporting on the case inspection, he furrowed his brows. It was a miracle that Stuart was alive then, when any doctor would give up on any chance of him surviving. If it was any ordinary person, Xanthus would absolutely not recommend continuing treating him. In Stuart's case, even if he was treated, he would not have a chance to recover completely. He would live his remaining years in agony, as he would be crippled. Holding the medical record book, Xanthus stood in Stuart's ward. He gently patted the book on his back and walked while trying to find a way. Jepherson stood outside and watched. He knew very well that Xanthus had encountered a tough case. In other words, Stuart was in trouble. Xanthus wandered around the ward for a while and emerged from it. He said, "I don't recommend it for Stuart to go abroad for treatment, and more imp
Jenna let out a cry and looked at her husband. It seemed that Xanthus was not an easy opponent. Jerry was in trouble. When Raeleigh woke up, Jepherson had already risen from the bed. He was getting changed and was about to leave. When he saw Raeleigh, he reminded her to get enough rest and he then turned around to go outside. Jenna came after him from the door and called him, "Jerry." Jepherson turned to look at Jenna. "Mom." "I heard about everything from your father. Your grandmother may be a little too much, but please just ignore her." Jenna smiled. Jepherson said, "I'm going back later. I have to talk to Grandma about this." "But now the rumors are rife outside. Words are spreading around that Stella was pregnant with your child and now the child is gone. How is she going to continue living her life? If you go back now, aren't you just adding fuel to the fire?" "But she employed someone to hurt Raeleigh. Is that right? Stella is not pregna
