Maverly wasn't injured, but her heart raced. Slowly looking up at Xanthus, Maverly wanted to leave his embrace, but Xanthus leaned in, pressing her against the car, making her uncomfortable all over. She couldn't move at all. "Such a klutz." Xanthus fixed his gaze at Maverly, who then nodded and extended her hand to separate them. Only then did Xanthus release her. Breaking free, Maverly left his side hastily and said, "I'm home. You should go home too, Dr. Osteen. Drive safe." With that, Maverly dashed to her villa. At the front door, just as she wanted to enter, she froze, looking down. She checked her laptop to find that its screen cracked. Dumbstruck, she had only barely knocked it. Xanthus hadn't left yet. Noticing the change of her expression at the doorway, he strode to her side. "What's the matter?" "My laptop's broken." Maverly pulled a long face. Her thesis was in it. "Do you have a backup?" Xanthus took the laptop a

After lunch, Maverly went to check how the thesis went. Xanthus had composed over thirty hundred words, about ten hundred words per two hours. Maverly sat down and did a mental calculation; it'd be done by nightfall. "You're really a natural at writing theses." Maverly praised him from the bottom of her heart. "Actually, it's not that hard. You're a business major, it's mainly about eloquence and the number of words, and eloquence is of secondary importance. As long as you stay away from plagiarizing, it won't be a problem." "It's even easier for a science major. Twenty thousand words, and there you go." Maverly was at a loss for words. Her eyes widened. "How did you know all this?" "I've ghostwritten back in my college years." "No wonder... you're a veteran." Maverly nodded, looking like an adorable toddler. Xanthus beamed at her, drank a glass of water, and got back to work. By night, the thesis was done and dusted. Sc

By the time Maverly arrived at the hospital, Raeleigh had received a text message from Ariana reporting about the day before. The text informed her she had successfully captivated Heston and that he invited her to a movie night. Ariana was contemplating accepting his invitation and wanted to seek Raeleigh's advice. Raeleigh told her that she could go as long as there was someone to look after Jacian. Just as Ariana was thinking who could stand in for her, Maverly entered Jacian's ward. Jacian rejoiced at seeing Maverly. On the other hand, Ariana pondered on it and thought Maverly was perfect; she could leave if Maverly stayed. Maverly agreed to it, but Xanthus expressed his disapproval when she told him in a call that afternoon. "I need to write an academic draft tonight, and I'll need peace and quiet. I can't do it in the hospital." "Then go back. I've to stay here, as it happens." At first, Maverly did not grasp Xanthus's subtle indication. S

Before Raeleigh could walk far, a loud bang ensued at the gates, causing her to pause for a moment. By the time she went back to the front door, an accident had already transpired at the gates. Seeing the servants making a mad dash there, Raeleigh knew something horrible must've happened. She couldn't turn a blind eye now. The car crash was nasty, and people were injured. Since Jared crashed his car into Crevor's, he was fine, but the car was a scrap now. Raeleigh stood inside the manor impotently, but she did not blow her fuse. What happened had happened; it would be useless even if she killed Jared, let alone blame or yell at him. But... Jared had let his head get the best of him. Coming out of the manor, Raeleigh peered at Crevor, who stood rooted to the spot. She nodded at him. "I'm sorry. How do you want to settle this?" Jared emerged from his car with a bleeding leg. Raeleigh locked her brows into a deep furrow as she looked o

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
