Chapter 902 Mixed Bath


    Raeleigh finally nodded. Pleased, Deanna smiled and said, "So, it''s me who owes you, Raeleigh. We''ll


    be good friends. I''ll make it up to you and treat you well. Okay?"


    "All right."


    "Then, let''s rest." Deanna was about to hop onto Raeleigh''s bed when Scarlette stopped her. "Don''t. I


    don''t like youing here. It''s already a tight squeeze for both of us, so don''t even think about joining


    in."


    "Raeleigh, why don''t you just sleep in my bed?" Deanna said, tugging on Raeleigh''s arm.


    Raeleigh couldn''t refuse Deanna, so she said, "How about I sleep in my own bed? Scarlette, it''s dawn


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    already, so you should be able to sleep now."


    Raeleigh wrested her quilt from Deanna and she went to lie down on her own bed.


    At first, Deanna remained silent, but her eyes glittered with a calctive look. Raeleighy down on her


    bed. Scarlette thought that Raeleigh would get some rest since she stayed up all night. Anyone would


    feel tired after staying up all night. Scarlette decided not to go over and bother her.


    However, once Deanna saw Raeleigh lying down, she immediately grabbed her quilt and went to lie by


    Raeleigh''s side.


    Raeleigh opened her eyes and looked at Deanna, who was hugging her like a pillow, just like how


    Scarlette was just now.


    Deanna was slightly thinner than Scarlette, which is a result of her being pampered since


    young. Deanna had been born with a silver spoon in her mouth; she didn''t even need to lift a finger to


    do anything.


    In Novalie''s words, Deanna was frail and weak.


    "Deanna," Raeleigh called out, nudging Deanna. However, Deanna gave no response. Sheid there


    obsNorahtely, unwilling to go.


    Amused, Raeleigh asked, "Do you want to strangle me?"


    It was only then that Deanna loosened her grip. Furious, Scarlette raised her hand and smacked her


    own forehead twice. Was Deanna trying to torment her? Scarlette thought to herself.


    Was Deanna sent by the gods to punish her?


    The gods must have sent Deanna to make her life harder!


    Plopping back on her bed, Scarlette pulled her quilt up over her head and let out a frustrated scream.


    Raeleigh turned towards Scarlette, wondering if she had gone crazy.


    Zorion hadn''t rested all night either. After giving some instructions, hey on his bed right away.


    The four of them slept the entire morning. After lunch, Raeleigh would be getting the stitches on her


    hand removed.


    The doctors filed into the room. Raeleigh was ready.


    Unexpectedly, she wasn''t nervous. As a doctor began removing the stitches from Raeleigh''s


    hand, Deanna started to get nervous. She held Zorion''s hand tightly, staring at Raeleigh''s hand all the


    while.


    Raeleigh''s eyes lit up and she looked up at the doctor in front of her with amazement. Zorion watched


    her closely and didn''t miss any of her expressions. Raeleigh was pleasantly surprised. She hadn''t


    expected the back of her hand to recover that quickly.


    When it was done, the doctors congratted Raeleigh and themselves in session. They had lived


    up to Zorion''s expectations. They couldn''t bear to imagine how Zorion would have treated them if they


    had failed.


    "Thank you all," Raeleigh said gratefully as she looked at her hand.


    The doctors left. There were only a few people left in the ward. Deanna hugged Raeleigh, jumping up


    and down in delight.


    Raeleigh didn''t disy any response of delight. She smiled, but she didn''tugh as high-spiritedly as


    Deanna did.


    Scarlette rubbed her temples in irritation. Having to put up with the cheerful Deanna must be torture for


    Raeleigh.


    To celebrate, Deanna suggested, "Let''s go to the hot springs."


    Raeleigh nced at Zorion and agreed helplessly, "Sure."


    "Let''s go." Deanna was overjoyed that Raeleigh had agreed to it. Deanna pulled Raeleigh behind her


    as she led the way, impatient as ever to go to the hot springs.


    Raeleigh had never been to the hot springs and Deanna had to guide her on what to do. Meanwhile,


    Zorion trailed quietly behind them.


    They had to take a shower first. After the shower, Raeleigh put on the loose clothing provided and


    followed Deanna out. Zorion had also changed into loose clothing after his shower.


    They met at the entrance to the changing rooms. Raeleigh''s clothes were white with a watercolor


    pattern on it. They revealed her pale calves and legs.


    They had removed their shoes before entering the hot springs. Raeleigh''s feet were thin and pale, and


    her calves were smooth and delicate.


    The oversized clothes emphasized Raeleigh''s slight figure. Her forearms were exposed, showing


    her fair skin and delicate hands. Her face had just been washed and her hair was held back with a w


    clip. Overall, it gave her the look of an elegant woman, one that would easily win a man''s heart.


    When Zorion saw Raeleigh, she was with Deanna. However, she kept her head lowered. Her


    reluctance to look up and her flushed face meant she was probably embarrassed. She was not as calm


    and indifferent as Scarlette, nor was she as cheerful and bubbly as Deanna.


    When Deanna saw Zorion, she immediately ran over and grabbed his arm. "Zorion, look at Raeleigh.


    Doesn''t she look good?"


    Zorion looked at Deanna first, then he turned to Raeleigh, not saying a word. His bottomless dark eyes


    betRhysed his thoughts, even without him doing anything.


    Zorion took a step towards Raeleigh. Raeleigh looked to the side. She didn''t know why Zorion''s


    presence made her ufortable. Was she afraid or was it something else? Raeleigh wondered.


    If it was because she was being coerced, well, Jepherson was more of a master at that. However, she


    didn''t fear Jepherson at all.


    Zorion was different. Even the thought of him caused her to tense up.


    "Look at me." Zorion didn''t like it when Raeleigh avoided his gaze. He loved looking at Raeleigh''s eyes.


    They were bright and clear, yet unfathomable.


    Raeleigh turned and looked up at Zorion. Before she could say anything, Zorion had already raised his


    hand to grab her chin, angling her face upwards. He fixed his gaze on her wless countenance,


    wanting to examine it carefully, but Raeleigh pushed his hand away.


    "Weren''t we supposed to go soak in the hot springs? Let''s go." Raeleigh made her way towards one


    side of the hot springs, but Deanna hurried to catch up with her and said, "Raeleigh, we''re not going


    here. We''re going to the other side. Zorion has booked the pool over there. Come, let''s go for a soak


    together."


    "Together?" Raeleigh''s head snapped around and she stared at Deanna. Deanna nodded and replied,


    "Yes, all four of us."


    "Four of us? It''s a mixed bath?" Raeleigh thought she had misheard.


    Deanna nodded. "That''s right!"


    Terrified, Raeleigh stared at Deanna and Zorion in disbelief. "Are you kidding me?"


    "Do I scare you that much?" Zorion asked, looming over Raeleigh. Raeleigh took a step back hurriedly.


    "Don''te any closer."


    "What if I insist?" Zorion stepped forward again, forcing Raeleigh into a corner. Raeleigh nTristany


    tripped from fear.


    If Zorion hadn''t caught her in time, she would have definitely fallen to the ground.


    Raeleigh was about to push him away when he bent over and picked her up. Then, he turned around


    and walked towards the bathing pool with Raeleigh in his arms.
