"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
Raeleigh stood at the door for a while and called Jacky, but he said, "You should go and get some rest." Raeleigh froze for a moment before hanging up the phone. Then, she turned around and walked up to the attic. However, the attic was extremely cold due to the wind blowing outside. Raeleigh woke up the next morning and went downstairs. The ground outside was completely covered with a thin layer of snow and it was still snowing. It was also awfully quiet but she felt that there was nothing wrong. Looking ahead, she could see nothing but endless snow covered ground. She stood by the door and stared outside for a while. She spotted Deanna and Jacky not far away. They were currently shoveling snow from the pavements. "You should head back inside. It's cold out here." There wasn't anyone around Jacky. Perhaps he did not need to work because it was the holidays. He was dressed in black from head to toe. He wore an overcoat that was usually worn by the governme
"What are you doing here?" Trevor, who was sitting on one side, was usually very patient. Jepherson took a sip of tea and said, "It's New Year. Why don't you go home?" Trevor paused for a moment and said, "No, I'm not going back. It's very peaceful here. I don't have anyone to argue with." "There's no one at home. It's so lonely." Jepherson sat there calmly. Trevor frowned. "What about Raeleigh?" "Raeleigh and I had a fall out. She's been living in Waverly Village." Trevor asked, "You made her angry again?" "It wasn't me." "But that doesn't mean it has nothing to do with you." After their conversation, Jepherson brought Marissa and Trevor back home. Marissa got out of the car and stared at the gate of the Richards Group Manor with indescribable eyes. Since she had been deserted by everyone, what else did she have to worry about? Jepherson stood on one side and waited for them to enter. Marissa suddenly turned aroun
