Raeleigh walked a distance away from Green Jade Garden to call Callis. It didn't take long before he answered. Knowing he was mute, Raeleigh said, "Let's text." With that, she hung up and began texting Callis as she sat on a bench outside of Green Jade Garden. Raeleigh said, "I went to the hospital a couple of days ago for a pregnancy check-up and met a pregnant lady who was about my age. I talked to her for a bit." "How's your baby?" Callis asked. She smiled at his question and replied, "The baby's doing very well." Raeleigh then continued to chat with Callis. "The lady said she was sick." Raeleigh said nothing more after that. Callis asked what sickness the lady had, but she said she had forgotten. "Let's talk about something else. Are you still in Waverly Village?" Callis said he had left and was searching for a place. He's planning on doing something. "That's good. Take care of yourself." ...... She only ended their
Raeleigh was brought back to her room in the end. Deep down, Jenna also hoped Raeleigh would get herself checked, but Jepherson stood his ground. Regardless of how strong a person was, they couldn't carry a full-grown adult without rest. When Jepherson saw that Xanthus could not carry Raeleigh any longer, he reached out to take her away. Xanthus wanted to stop him but failed. As Jepherson carried Raeleigh, he instructed one of the servants, "Take Dr. Osteen to Mr. Santiago's room. Keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't come out." "Yes, Mr. Jepherson." Just like that, Xanthus was forcibly sent to Santiago's room, and the door was locked from the outside. Meanwhile, Raeleigh was taken back to her room. Louisa decided to check on Raeleigh only to see she was already tucked into bed. She stood at the door for a while and wanted to explain, but Jepherson said, "She's tired; let her get some rest." Louisa did not know what to say, so she went ou
By the time Jepherson came to look for Raeleigh, she was gone. He pulled his phone out and called Jared, but he could not reach him. Jepherson gnashed his teeth and called Stuart as his eyes flashed with anger. "Where is she?" Stuart was sitting in the monitoring room with a laptop on his lap; a map was on his screen. Behind him stood Hadrian and Scarlette, who was in a wheelchair. Stuart was also in a wheelchair, and although he could no longer stay by Jepherson's side, that did not mean he was of no use. There were several red dots on the map. The first one was Jepherson, and the second one, Santiago, who was bedridden. There were several others too, but one was moving, and it belonged to Raeleigh. She looked to be in a car, heading somewhere. And the car seemed to be heading toward... Stuart said, "The Moore family residence." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "Was there a fight?" "No, she followed willingly." "Alright."
Raeleigh listened to Flynt's words as she walked. He said a lot of things, and she merely listened. Just like that, they circled the entire perimeter of the residence and ended up back at the gates. Just as Flynt stepped forward and intended to say something, Raeleigh blurted, "Do you like me?" Her question caught Flynt off guard, but he knew there had to be a reason, so he replied, "Yes, I do." Flynt smiled as he spoke, and Raeleigh could tell that his smile was genuine. After all, there would be times when men fall in love, even a treacherous one. Who wouldn't meet true love? No matter how astute a man was, there would be times when he let his guard down in front of a woman. To them, nothing was more attractive than a woman who was out of their reach. This was a man's nature. Raeleigh wouldn't say she was an expert in life, but after being with Jepherson, she felt she had seen it all. Although it had only been a year, their measly love
Jared found a pair of scissors and quickly cut off Jepherson's clothes. It was then that Raeleigh realized there were several cuts on Jepherson's body. Even though the cuts weren't deep, they bled profusely. Raeleigh stared at the cuts and unconsciously asked, "What happened?" "Mr. Jepherson was attacked as soon as we stepped out of our office building. We managed to drive some of them away and even caught some of the attackers. We thought that was it. We did not think that we would be ambushed again just as we were about to pull up to the house." Raeleigh understood Jared's words but did not understand how Jepherson got injured in the process. Did Stella not learn her lesson? Did she lose all hope in Jepherson? Raeleigh had not heard any news about Stella in a long time. She did not understand what was going on. Unless it was the Doyle family. Raeleigh knelt down and helped Jared to take off Jepherson's clothes. Raeleigh held Jepherson in her
Raeleigh sat for a while before she got up and helped Jepherson to lie down. Xanthus so happened to enter the room at the same time. He did not suspect anything. "Although they are just superficial wounds, they can still get infected. So, you have to be careful." Xanthus stood on one side, his eyes deep and sharp. This incident reflected the law of the jungle. Xanthus realized that the weak were the prey to the strong. A couple of days ago, Jacky attacked someone else. Not long after, Jepherson was attacked. What Raeleigh said was right. In this world, it was every man for himself. Jepherson lay in bed and said, "I want Raeleigh to stay in my room and take care of me these few days. It's best if she stayed here too. I'm sure you know how stubborn she is. I can't control her as I'm bedridden for now, so I need your help to keep an eye on her." Raeleigh froze for a moment. Then she turned her head to look at Jepherson. What did he mean? Did he just call her stubbo
Jenna turned around to face Hansen. "But you must be tired." Ever since the incident with Santiago, she noticed that her husband had aged a lot. It seemed like he had completely changed into a different person. He slept poorly at night yet he would wake up early the next day. This was all because of what happened to his son. Jenna wanted to say something to comfort Hansen but she couldn't find the words. Hansen held Jenna in his arms. "We're already on this earth. The only way we leave is when we die." "Do you still remember when we were young?" "Do you remember how many storms we went through to see the rainbow?" "Everyone has their own path. We learn from our experiences." Jenna raised her hand and held Hansen. "Sometimes, I feel that there is something wrong with you. You obviously don't like this kind of life. I know that you want a free life, yet..." "You want to stay in this hell hole. I don't know whether to call you a narcissist o
Zorion stood up and said, "Let's go." Then he turned around and left with Rossie. Raeleigh saw them off before returning to Green Jade Garden. When Raeleigh entered, she looked at Jepherson without saying a word. In the end, it was Jepherson who broke the silence. "If I am unable to make use of my friendship with Jacky, then I will have to make him my enemy. He's like a fierce tiger charging down the mountain. He can kill people at any time. If I can work shoulder to shoulder with him, it would be best. I am able to tame him, he will bring me good luck." "Waverly Village is a small world with its own set of rules for survival." "And for someone like Jacky, he's equivalent to a king there. No one is able to challenge him at the moment." "At the same time, he has already accumulated a lot of power and is ready to take action." "Waverly Village is basically like a small dot in the map, while Capital City is like a battleground. Sooner or later, he's bound to end up
