Raeleigh, Deanna, and Zorion went to the police station immediately. Everything was taken care of quickly and discreetly by their lawyers. The Whalen family wanted to keep a low profile and settle things as soon as possible. When everything was done, Raeleigh walked out of the station and was surprised to see that there were no reporters at the gate. "Raeleigh, it's getting late. You can stay at ours tonight," Deanna said as she stood next to the car. She had already planned to invite Raeleigh over. "No, thanks. I'd like to head back to the campus. The semester is almost ending and there are a lot of things that I need to catch up on." "Okay then. Zorion will send you back. As for Scarlette, you can come with me," Deanna said as she got into the car. Scarlette quickly answered, "No, it's fine. Just have one of your drivers send us back. You can go home, don't worry about us." "Scarlette, you don't seem to like me very much." Annoyed, Deanna stepped forward
Raeleigh went with the teacher all the way out of campus. After a couple of turns through the quiet corners of the school, Raeleigh saw a car parked in a quiet spot outside the campus. There were a few people surrounding the car. At this moment, the female teacher halted in her steps and looked at Raeleigh, "Go ahead, he won't hurt you." As she glanced at the teacher, she asked, "Will you hurt my grandmother?" "I'm just following orders to bring you here so I can't answer that. If you have any questions, you can ask the man in the car." Raeleigh turned to look at the sleek black car. Hardly anyone would drive such a car nowadays as it was a tremendously expensive and old-fashioned car. Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the car. However, she did not look at who was in the car. Raeleigh understood that the more she knew, the more trouble she would get into. "Who are you?" Raeleigh stood outside with a calm look. Smirking, the man in
"I'm heading to the nearest hospital. I'm driving now so I'll call you when I'm there." Raeleigh hung up as the traffic light in front turned red. Abruptly, she stopped the car as the tires screeched sharply. It scared the living daylights out of Hadrian. He thought that they had an accident. Brushing it off, Raeleigh continued on and looked for the hospital. At the sight of an empty parking spot, she went in and helped Hadrian down the car. As he alighted, he remarked, "I'm not as weak as you think." Without a response, Raeleigh went into the hospital together with him. After a simple check-up and treatment, Hadrian was good to go. However, he sat on the bed and fixed his gaze at Raeleigh the whole tiime. When Scarlette came, Raeleigh had already settled the hospitalization procedure. She urged Hadrian to stay there, but he refused. "You're prone to tetanus. I think it's better for you to be hospitalized." Raeleigh said with concern. "I'm fine now."
Raeleigh woke up at five in the morning after a good night's rest. Feeling chilly, she got up and went to take a look in the ward. Inside, Scarlette was sleeping soundly in Hadrian's arms. After buying some food, she inquired about Hadrian's situation. It turned out that the doctor gave him an injection and some medicine. Basically, there was nothing left that can be done. "Oh, Raeleigh, did you sleep outside last night?" A wave of guiltiness hit Scarlette when she saw Raeleigh outside. Raeleigh set down the breakfast in front of her and went to see the doctor. "Can he be discharged from the hospital judging from his current state?" "It's best for him to stay for a few more days. We don't recommend him being discharged this early since his back is still injured." Yesterday, the doctor gave Hadrian a minor surgery to sew the wound on his back. According to them, it would take at least a week to recover. "Hadrian, what do you think?" Raeleigh prioritized Hadrian's
Raeleigh and her grandmother came back from the supermarket with few bags filled with groceries. Upon arriving at the gate, they caught sight of a black car that was parked at the entrance. Novalie was neither deaf nor blind. She could recognize Jepherson's car right away. What's more, there was a person standing by the car. "Speak of the devil. I should have bought more. It looks so shabby now." Novalie threw a glance at her granddaughter who was standing still, looking nervous. "Grandma, he may not stay for dinner." "How would you know that?" Novalie chuckled. Standing by the car door, Stuart waited for Jepherson to get out of the car. After alighting the car, Novalie tidied up her coat and buttoned it. Then, she walked towards Jepherson and Raeleigh with a bright smile. Novalie was an expert in reading people's minds. However, she could not see through Jepherson. His attractive smile seemed to mask his true self. Besides, his aura was strong and i
Upon arriving at the mall, Jepherson got off the car. With her head laid low, Raeleigh followed behind him. She knew that Jepherson's appearance would attract attention. Now that Raeleigh was wearing his clothes, it was more obvious. She then tugged lightly onto his sleeves, gesturing to be more low-key. Jepherson held her hand without a word and walked into the mall. Stuart immediately called the boutique to arrange a special slot for both of them. Not long after, the designer was already waiting upstairs. In this mall, Jepherson had his own stylists. Even though it was rare for him to visit the mall, the Richards Family didn't pay them for free. When they got upstairs, a gorgeous woman in her thirties greeted Jepherson politely. She then looked at Raeleigh and gestured, "Follow me." As she brought Raeleigh away, the manager came over, "Master, please wait for a moment. I'll make you a cup of tea." "Design a simple outfit for her that ma
Raeleigh couldn't deny that the tofu was tasty. She wanted to keep indulging it. During dinner, Novalie also complimented the tofu dish. However, Raeleigh didn't raise her head to look at Jepherson. She did not have a say in it as Jepherson wouldn't agree to break up. Her thoughts were all over the place as she was caught in a dilemma. Should I be honest with him, or keep it a secret? Thinking to herself, she had to think of a way to persuade him that she was dating Zorion. To be honest, she couldn't accept Jepherson nor she could be with Zorion. She did not want to complicate things. As she ate, Raeleigh was absent-minded. She didn't even look up when her grandmother was talking to her. After a while, Novalie asked, "Raeleigh, is there anything wrong?" "Nothing." Raeleigh put down her cutleries but remained seated next to her. It was rude to leave before the guests finished their meals. Soon, Hadrian finished eating, and so did Scarlette
Upon Jepherson's arrival, Rayan was ready to head out. With a wide grin, Jepherson got out of the car. "Mr. Whalen." "Jepherson, what brings you here?" To her surprise, Deanna asked as she clutched onto Rayan's arm. When she saw that Jepherson was walking towards them, she smiled politely. "You didn't go to the office?" Rayan came back because he was caught up with something urgent. He wasn't expecting Jepherson. "I have something to ask you, Mr. Whalen. Do you have time?" "Sure. I'm heading to the airport now. If you don't mind, let's go together," Rayan glanced at his son, Zorion, "You'll go with Deanna." "Sure, dad." Zorion threw a glance at Jepherson and walked towards the car. Someone opened the door for Zorion, and he got into the car in a haste. "Jepherson, I'll be with my brother," Deanna informed and went to the car afterwards. Rayan stepped towards the car after his children had gotten in. Stuart hurriedly opened the
