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
Stuart repeatedly tried to call Jepherson until finally, one of those calls connected. At the same time, Jepherson had just come out from the conference room. "What happened?" "I'm not sure. I'm also on my way to the hospital." Stuart's heart was in his throat all the way, he was so anxious that he was about to faint. ...... Raeleigh was just about to rest when she received a phone call from Jared. She switched off her phone when she saw it was him who called. The phone never rang again. This was followed by Jepherson's arrival from outside. The door to the ward burst open as he skidded to a halt at the doorway. He rushed to Raeleigh's side and sat down, his eyes darted from one place to another on her figure. "Which part of you has been frostbitten?" "Why are you here?" Raeleigh was more than a little surprised. Jepherson's arrival was quite spot on. The moment the phone was hung up, he was here. Did Jared make the call when he saw
Raeleigh stopped at the corner of the parking lot and stared at Jared who laid motionless on the ground. When Jepherson turned his head around and saw her, he was momentarily surprised until his line of sight landed on Stuart. His face immediately darkened, "Take Raeleigh away." Stuart wavered, then went towards Raeleigh. He intended to bring her back to the ward but she shoved him away from her. Raeleigh marched towards Jepherson. When she was in front of him, she only gave him a brief look before she quickly made her way to Jared's side. At first glance, his body seemed to be fine, but his pale face stirred up a sense of panic. "Jared, what's wrong?" Jared slowly blinked his eyes and gazed at Raeleigh without a word. Raeleigh crouched down immediately as she gave him a basic examination. She checked from head to toe until she reached his leg. When Raeleigh touched his right leg, her hand paused. She then rolled up Jared's pants from the bottom up.
Later, Raeleigh was led to Jared's ward. As Harvey helped to take care of the patient, she leaned against the wall and soon fell asleep where she sat. When Jared woke up, the anesthetic had just left his system. The pain was still there but his expression didn't reveal it. He just opened his eyes and scanned the four corners of the room. His eyes landed on Raeleigh who was sleeping very soundly. He stared for a brief moment before he averted his gaze and looked elsewhere. Harvey was beside Jared when he saw him woke up. He immediately stood up and went out the door to call for a doctor. Jared was then given multiple checkups until the doctor was satisfied that nothing was amiss and left. By that time, Raeleigh had been jolted awake. She opened her eyes and looked over in Jared's direction. She got off the bed then, and walked over to him, " How are you feeling?" Jared didn't reply. He just stared at her instead. Raeleigh also didn't question any furt
That night, Deanna stayed by Raeleigh's side and they even slept together. In order not to trouble her, she asked Harvey to push the bed over so that they have enough space to accommodate two people. However, during the night, Deanna was unable to fall asleep. She called Jacky instead, and inquired as to whether he was already asleep. Meanwhile, Raeleigh pretended that she didn't know about Deanna's wakeful state. Even so, Deanna talked over the phone until at one point she pushed Raeleigh. Raeleigh opened her eyes and asked, "Something wrong?" "It's nothing. I just want to tell you that Jacky will be coming to pick me up in a bit, hence I'm getting up first. Come morning I'll make some delicious dishes for you to eat." Deanna put on her coat and shoes. She could not sleep with Raeleigh, it was really depressing for her. She then walked out of the door with a wave of her hands towards Raeleigh before she twisted back around and left. When the door cl
Raeleigh stood there for a while. It was only after she felt chilly that she decided to leave. But when she turned around, Crevor was there across from her. She stared at him in an absent-minded manner as a thought popped up that this man had impeccable timing at every moment. Crevor stepped towards Raeleigh just as she asked, "Why are you here, Mr. Doyle?" "I wanted to see you." "Mr. Doyle is really all-pervasive. No matter where I am, Mr. Doyle can always find me. It's really strange." Crevor smiled at her and stated, "With my current ability, finding a person is a piece of cake." "Then you'd better not look for me next time." Raeleigh walked away, only for Crevor to follow right behind her. She felt that heaven was really short-sighted at times, especially at this present moment. It started to snow minutes after Crevor had arrived. Snowflakes drifted freely down from the sky, but to watch it with Crevor beside her, the feeling it wrought was, to her, qu
