When Raeleigh woke up, she was already in the hospital. She looked towards the window where Crevor stood. She moved a little and made a sound of pain as her body throbbed all over. At the sound, Crevor turned around to look at her together with the others in the room. Xanthus, Maverly, and the rest of the gang hurried to her side. At the sight of so many people, Raeleigh paused for a moment and then looked towards Xanthus, "What happened to me?" "What are you thinking sbout?" Xanthus was so frustrated with Raeleigh that all his worries a moment ago were swept clean away. "I'm fine, aren't I?" "How can you be fine when you've been beaten to this state?" Xanthus huffed and puffed with restrained anger, especially towards himself. If his cell phone hadn't been in the living room, if he hadn't just concentrated on everything in the bedroom, a near disaster like this wouldn't have happened. Raeleigh wore a smile, "I am still sick. What are you angry with
Raeleigh stared at him as she laid in bed, "You should go too. I can take care of myself now." "Are you worried about being misunderstood?" Raeleigh gave him a brief look, "Even if you weren't seen here, what can be construed will still be misunderstood." "Jepherson is that distrustful of you?" When Crevor spoke, he had already walked up to Raeleigh's front. She glanced up at him with no immediate reply, though her lips curled up into a smile. "Raeleigh, what are you smiling at?" Crevor stood there as his gaze darkened with a profound look in his eyes. "It's nothing. I just felt like smiling, so I smiled." "You are the most interesting girl I have ever met." Crevor stated. "Just because something is rarely seen, they're always labelled as special. It's just like a species that's born from out of nowhere. There's ordinary grass that grows on a cliff. The seed of that grass couldn't have flown onto the cliff which made it an uncommon possibility.
While being accompanied by Stuart, Raeleigh listened to the lawyer's analysis of the whole case. The lynchpin in this whole matter was that Raeleigh had driven deliberately to hit someone and killed them. Raeleigh sat quietly at the side and contributed nothing to the discussion that was going on as Stuart and the others picked apart the case. After they were done, Raeleigh finally spoke, "Follow according to the legal process to fight against my lawsuit. When the time comes, I will make some arrangements. I will not let him harm me. But at present I can't leave the hospital or they'll put me in the detention centre if I do so. If I enter that place, it'll be easy for there to be an accident." "Do as she says." Jepherson ordered, and as if a signal was given, they left the ward soon after they'd given their affirmation to carry out their duties. Now only Raeleigh and Jepherson were left in the ward. "You and Crevor already knew each other?" she asked. Jepherson
Jepherson did not answer her question immediately. He looked at Raeleigh and instead said. "It's okay if you act dumb, she's still my daughter after all." Jepherson then stood up and poured himself a cup of water. Even after he drank a mouthful and turned towards her, he did not continue his line of questioning. Raeleigh's body gradually recovered while the case went through a few rounds of negotiations. These negotiations were handled by Stuart together with another but they had yet to come to a conclusion. Crevor also came to visit Raeleigh two to three times. However, Raeleigh kept quiet and didn't bother to talk to him during those times. She just laid on the bed, her eyes fixed onto the ceiling of the ward indifferently as she lapsed into a seldom seen tranquility. Occasionally, when Crevor came he would chat with Jepherson, who wouldn't refuse. This made Raeleigh feel perplexed. Jepherson did not like Crevor, but he could calmly sit down and talk to
Everyone looked towards Jared as he was chased out by Jepherson, whose face had turned harsh. Stuart saw the whole scene and quickly went after Jared. "What are you doing?" Although Stuart and Jared were both brought in by Alvin, the two of them seldom mingle together. They didn't see much of each other even when they were young. Other than the fact that they weren't in the same cliques, Jared loved to play with Santiago more back then. Despite that, they still retained a pretty good relationship. Alvin said once before, to treat Jared as a brother. Therefore, Stuart would not leave Jared alone. Jared did not respond to his query, he just stood there with his gaze focused on the scenery outside. Stuart also felt impressed at this point. Why was it that people who interacted with Raeleigh all got turned around by her? "Don't go down the same path as Mr. Santiago. You should know, in Mr. Jepherson's eyes, that there are no two Mr. San
Raeleigh didn't fall asleep until the morning. Jepherson tossed and turned the whole night, unable to sleep which kept her up as well. As a result, the two of them didn't get up from bed until late that afternoon. Stuart had waited outside since early that very morning. When the servants came over, Stuart waved his hand and motioned for them to leave lest they disturbed Mr. Jepherson from his repose inside. In fact, Stuart was out at about five to six o'clock in the morning. As soon as he came over, he heard the sound of panting inside. Mr. Jepherson was really full of energy. He didn't dare to approach, hence he stood guard outside. All the way until the present time, Stuart didn't dare to leave his post. Only when it was two o'clock in the afternoon, Raeleigh woke up. Probably due to the jet lag, she was still a little groggy. She was just able to blink her eyes open, took a look around before she fell back to sleep. Jepherson waited for Raeleigh t
The mansion of the Doyle family was built in a style similar to the old one. Raeleigh may be a designer, but it was the first time that she had seen such a scene. There was a large courtyard with trees lined on both sides, with two walkways wrapped around the uniquely designed front hall. One could tell from one walkway alone that it was of a particularly exquisite scale and with the high walls enclosed around the area, it couldn't hide the fact how extraordinary it looked. Raeleigh took in the dark blue bricks laid out into the ground as she walked. Every piece of it was truly placed with care. Raeleigh could just imagine, being inside the huge mansion as she looked out onto the magnificent grounds, how majestic it could be. Crevor walked leisurely beside her when she asked him, "Is there anyone else here in your mansion? I don't see any signs of people around." "There are more than a hundred servants in the house, who are responsible for their own tasks. As it
"Ha ha..." Revon suddenly burst out laughing. He looked Raeleigh up and down and asked, "Which family are you from?" "My paternal family are all dead, and I don't know my maternal family well. When I was a child, I was thrown into an orphanage." Revon raised his eyebrows when he heard her succinct background description and asked, "You are an orphan?" "Yes." "Not even one relative?" "No, I used to have a granny who raised me, but she passed away a few years ago." "I see. It's really pitiful." Revon walked to the side and sat down. He asked Raeleigh and Crevor to come over as well. After they sat down, he asked for Raeleigh's right hand. Once she did so, he examined it for a brief moment before he said, "Give me your left hand as well." Raeleigh heeded his instructions. After a while, Revon said, "Are there any problems with your left hand?" "My nerves haven't recovered yet. I was injured some time ago. The doctor performed two
