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
Despite the slightly poor environment, Raeleigh was grateful to have a peaceful life. As Raeleigh was cooking, Deanna went to the kitchen to have a look, "Raeleigh, can you teach me how to cook?" "What do you want to learn?" Willingly, Raeleigh offered. "What dishes do you make? Just teach me a few easy ones. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn the hard ones," Deanna felt stupid as she didn't know how to cook. Handing her some cucumbers and tomatoes, she gestured for Deanna to wash them, "You can start by cleaning the vegetables. I started off helping grandma with the washing as well." Excited, Deanna rolled up her sleeves and picked up a basin. Before she could grab it, she knocked a glass plate by accident and it shattered onto the ground. "Ah!" Deanna screamed. Putting down everything on her hands, Raeleigh rushed over to check on her, "It's okay. It's okay. Don't be afraid." "Zorion..." On hearing Deanna's wail, Zorion dashed into the
Raeleigh accepted the call and as she expected, an old man's voice came over the phone. "Young lady, you've crossed the line. Now, Jepherson is looking for all over the place for me. It seems that you won't understand what type of person I am until I show you what I can do." "I didn't do anything. He went to search for you of his own accord, because he found out that you all came looking for me. That was your own fault. You can't blame it on me." "Hmph! Say whatever you want. First, I'll show you what I'm capable of, otherwise you won't obey me." "No, wait! I'll do what you say," Raeleigh shouted, panicked. She was worried about Novalie, her grandmother. The old man paused for a moment, and then said, "Good. But you have to prove to me that you're really on my side." "How do I prove it?" "Use your phone and call Zorion. Ask him to pick you up. We will be watching you." "... Okay." Raeleigh answered. Abruptly, the phone call was canc
Hadrian's injury was almost healed, so Raeleigh was busy packing things up so that they could return to school with Scarlette on Wednesday. "We should take a break today. Raeleigh, have you asked Deanna about your laptop?" Laying on the bed, Scarlette questioned Raeleigh. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "She said that she's used it. She asked me to buy another one." "Well, how rich of her. Where will you get the money?" Scarlette disliked Deanna more and more each passing day, but she didn't know the specific reason. "Deanna said that she would buy it for me. She will give it to me later," Raeleigh answered. To her, that was fine. She didn't have any preferences when it came to laptops. As long as it was usable, that was enough for her. It was only appropriate for Deanna to give Raeleigh a new laptop after she had taken hers. Right as they were talking about it, Deanna came in with a laptop, the same model as Raeleigh's. Even without looking, Raeleigh co
