After Raeleigh hung up the phone, she stood up and headed straight to Santiago's ward. Xanthus immediately stood up and followed her. On the way, he said, "You have to stop running around, otherwise the people around us can't protect us at all." Raeleigh walked in front. She was dressed casually as she was pregnant. Not many people knew it yet, but if Stella knew, she could not imagine what would happen. Fortunately, the weather these days allowed her to dress like this. Raeleigh wore a loose-fitting black outfit that wouldn t hamper the baby s development. Xanthus felt that it was suitable as well. For the past two days, Raeleigh had rolled up her sleeves. That way, others would not be able to tell that something was off about her. Raeleigh's short hair not only highlighted her natural beauty, but also made her look a little unruly. Raeleigh shoved her hands in her pockets and spoke as she walked, "I'm afraid that she won't come. If she comes, I can gua
Hansen gritted his teeth as he stared at Santiago who was lying in a vegetative state. "Alvin..." "Yes, Mr. Richards?" "I want you to relay a message to the people. Tell them to protect Raeleigh at all cost. Offer her any help should she ever need it." Hansen looked up at Alvin, who was stunned for a moment. Then Alvin turned to look at Jepherson, who was sitting up in the hospital bed. Alvin was shocked when he heard Hansen's words. Jepherson looked over at his father. He had a determined look on his face. He could tell that his father wanted revenge. He knew his father would not let this matter slide. Jepherson stared at his father for a while. He knew that everyone in the family was devastated by what happened to Santiago. Therefore, his father would rather entrust the matter of revenge to Raeleigh than him. Jepherson did not say much. The damage this time was too great for him to accept, let alone his parents. His mother had yet to come to
When Hannah heard that her daughter may potentially need a cesarean section, she was a little worried. She knew it would be painful and the recovery process was significantly longer than natural birth. Although everyone would like to have a painless delivery, Hannah knew that going under the knife meant a different kind of pain. Hannah shook her head and said, "I would prefer for her to have a natural birth. Having a cesarean section would be the last resort. I had to endure such long labor when I gave birth to Deanna and Zorion. I've also heard of some people who gave birth to perfectly healthy babies after enduring difficult labor. However, I've never heard of any babies having brain damage due to oxygen starvation. Those who have were born with it." Hannah looked at her husband and asked, "Rayan, what do you think?" "But the doctor said that there would be risks." Rossie answered truthfully. Hannah looked at Rossie and said, "Rossie, I hope you understa
The moment Raeleigh woke up, she could hear Deanna screaming. It sounded like she was in a lot of pain this time. Raeleigh hurried into the room and saw Deanna crying in pain. Hannah s heart felt hurt when she saw her daughter in so much pain. The most annoying thing was that none of Jacky's family was there in the hospital. Since Jacky wasn't there, they couldn't do anything either. Hannah was close to asking Deanna to have the surgery but she bit her tongue. Everyone could not wait for Deanna to finally go into active labor. In the end, they waited for an entire day but Deanna was still not ready to give birth yet. The doctor continuously monitored the dilation of her cervix. That night, when the doctor came out of the ward, a look of panic crossed her face. She froze when she saw Rayan. When Rayan saw the look on the doctor's face, he demanded, "What's wrong?" The doctor said in a trembling voice, "It can't be! I must be dreaming!"
Jacky walked over and gaped at his two babies, who were so good-looking. They looked exactly the same. They were fair and clean, their eyes were dark and bright. Even though he was probably biased, he thought that their appearances were out of this world. Jacky lowered his head to gaze at the two babies that were being carried. He asked, "A boy and a girl?" Hannah liked them very much whereas Zorion could only envy Jacky. Rossie also felt that this was a miracle. "Two boys." Hannah's words befuddled Jacky for a second. After that, he raised his head to look at Hannah while wearing a disappointed expression. Hannah didn't apprehend why he wore such an expression when her daughter had just given birth to two sons for him. She wondered why he didn't rejoice at it. Jacky lowered his head to stare at his two babies, extending his hand to touch their little faces before turning around to look at Deanna. Hannah was not very pleased with him. She shot
Marissa opened her eyes to find that half of her body was numb, and her mouth was crooked. In short, she lost control of half of her body. Gazing at her husband, who sat there in a daze, a fine trickle of drool leaked from the corner of her mouth. Jenna swiftly took a tissue paper to wipe it off. Marissa had been iron-willed all her life. She didn't expect herself to end up like this. She blinked her eyes and burst into tears. She wanted to say something, but failed to utter even a single word. She began weeping like a little child. Jenna quickly said, "Mom, don't cry. The doctor said that it's a stroke, and acupuncture will cure it." Marissa shook her head in disbelief. How could a mere stroke make her lose control of half of her body? Jenna was also distressed and couldn't help but shed tears. Seeing her shedding tears, Marissa sobbed harder. Trevor lifted his hand to wipe away Marissa's tears. "Don't cry. The bad guys haven't died yet, it's
As Lenold continued staying overseas, Raeleigh could not contact him. Therefore, she went to ask Jepherson about him the next day. Jepherson was sitting outside the ward with his eyes closed. When she approached, he opened his eyes. It was as though he had heard her footsteps. Raeleigh stopped short. Jepherson stared at that comely yet cold face of hers. After a long time, he asked, "What's the matter?" There was a note of apathy in his voice. Xanthus, who followed behind Raeleigh, felt helpless. He thought snidely, "Go on, continue to torture each other. You two idiots!" "I'm here to ask you for Lenold's contact information. Give me his phone number. I will contact him myself. If I fail, I'll find another way on my own." "I'll send it to you." Jepherson gave his cooperation without hesitation, which surprised Raeleigh. However, the surprise only lasted for a brief time. Raeleigh soon took out her phone and waited for him to send he
Raeleigh went to visit Deanna, who had recovered a lot over the past two days. Members of the Whalen family were there. Raeleigh brought two gifts for the babies. They were two lucky charms she had chosen. Even though they were quite old-fashioned, Raeleigh thought there was no better gift for the babies. "Raeleigh, will you have a daughter?" Deanna was fine. She had her meal while chatting with Raeleigh. "I don't know." "If you have a daughter, how about we let our children marry each other?" Deanna was rather sincere. Raeleigh just stared at her without saying anything. Letting the children marry each other was a future matter. Even if she did have a daughter, she would let her child decide herself when it came to relationships. Raeleigh was amused. "They're still so young. You've thought too far into the future. Maybe my child is not beautiful. See, your babies are so good-looking. What if your sons don't like her?" "No, Raeleigh, you are so gorge
