Chapter 982 Fire


    Paige suddenly changed her mind, and as she also inquired a lot about Raeleigh, Stuart had naturally


    said some good things about her.


    The more Paige listened, the more she felt like Raeleigh was remarkable, aside from her family


    background.


    Thank heavens they had Jepherson in the family acting as a pir of support. As for Santiago, it was


    another matter altogether.


    She realized that Raeleigh was indeed a likable girl. She might be fairly young, but as Stuart had told


    her, Raeleigh was talented in designing. She would surely make a name for herself. Plus, Zorion had

    his eyes on her, but she fell for her grandson instead, and she was proud of it.


    Who was Zorion anyway?


    Paige was in a good mood, so she ordered, "You should buy an expensive fruit basket and send it to


    Raeleigh. Send it to her personally. Just say that I was anxious about Deanna the other day. I hope she


    doesn''t mind if I invite her over next time."


    After saying that, Paige went back to her room, and Stuart immediately agreed.


    Before he left, he went to inform Jepherson.


    Jepherson was not very happy. He merely cast a nce at Stuart.


    Raeleigh was at a loss when she saw the fruit basket in front of her. She did not expect that Paige


    would give her such an expensive gift. She was rendered speechless.


    Scarlette peeled an orange for Raeleigh. She ate it while staring at Santiago across from her.


    Santiago was reading a novel, as if he was fascinated by it.


    Raeleigh didn''t take Santiago to be the kind of person who was obsessed with novels.


    Stuart left after he delivered the fruit basket.


    As soon as the door was shut, Santiago nced back, put down the novel in his hand, and took an


    apple to wash it. While eating, he walked to the window and looked down. As expected, a lot of people


    were here.


    "Zorion is here."


    Raeleigh looked at Santiago, who was standing by the window. Santiago turned around and said,


    "Since you are with Jepherson, you should know how to protect yourself. Don''t get yourself involved


    with Zorion anymore."


    "I don''t want to have anything to do with him. Stop doubting me." Raeleigh was not polite when she


    was angry, shooting daggers with her eyes.


    "It''s best if there isn''t anything," Santiago said as he took a bite of an apple. Soon, a person came in


    through the door of the ward. It was Zorion.


    Zorion raised his hand and knocked on the door. No one answered him, so he pushed the door open.


    Scarlette guarded the door. Zorion had been inseparable from Deanna, but he was alone that day.


    What did this mean? In the end, Deanna chose not to be friends with Raeleigh because of a man.


    "Why are you here?" Santiago asked unceremoniously as he ate the apple. Zorion did not reply.


    Instead, he walked to Raeleigh''s side, observing her arm and neck.


    "Are you feeling better?" Zorion sat down.


    Raeleigh smiled. "I''m alright now. Tomorrow, I will be able to take off the cast. It seems to be serious,


    but in fact, I am fine."


    "Is that so?" Zorion forced a smile. It was a very pale smile.


    Scarlette continued standing at the side, and Santiago took a big bite from his apple, as if making his


    presence known.


    Raeleigh raised her head to look at Santiago, who was sitting by her side. He asked, "Are you here to


    see a doctor?"


    "I''m here to see Raeleigh. I''m not sick. You should be more respectful when you speak to me." Zorion


    had always looked down upon Santiago.


    Santiago didn''t seem to care, but he still smiled.


    He ate his apple, leaning back against his seat.


    With Santiago around, Zorion couldn''t say anything. He could only sit there silently.


    "I''ll call you tonight. I have to go back first. Deanna is alone at home." Zorion stood up after a while.


    Raeleigh just smiled at him and said, "You don''t have toe. I will be discharged from the hospital


    soon."


    Zorion paused in front of the door of the ward. He nced back at Santiago. For some reason, he was


    not worried about Jepherson. On the contrary, he was more concerned about Santiago''s presence.


    "Stay for a few more days, I wille to see you soon." After that, Zorion left.


    Raeleigh was in a daze looking at the closed door. She wasn''t sure if Flynt had already achieved his


    goal. No matter what, Zorion and Jepherson had turned against each other.


    And all these had something to do with her.


    Raeleigh kept looking at the door. After a while, she was tired. Shey down with Scarlette''s help.


    The next day, after smoothly removing the cast, she finally felt free. Otherwise, she would have been


    really tired.


    In the evening, Jepherson came to the hospital.


    When they met, Jepherson immediately looked at Raeleigh''s wound. Even though it was tightly


    bandaged, he still took a good look at it.


    "I''ll step out for a while. Scarlette,e with me." After eating dinner, Santiago stood up and headed


    towards the door.


    Although she was reluctant to go with Santiago, she still went out and followed him out.


    Santiago was temperamental. She should avoid angering him.


    When everyone left, Jepherson put his hand on Raeleigh''s face and gently caressed it with his thumb.


    She had lost some weight and her face was thinning. He said while stroking her, "It has been hard on


    you."


    Raeleigh did not answer him. Instead, she turned around and took a look at the window. Then, she


    wore a light smile.


    "I hope everyone is alright. I also hope Deanna won''t be angry." Turning around, Raeleigh looked at


    Jepherson.


    Jepherson touched Raeleigh''s face. "I don''t like Deanna. Even if you were not beside me, I still won''t


    like her."


    "But this time, everything happened because of me."


    "It''s no different."


    Jepherson sat back, with his eyes on Raeleigh.


    Raeleigh looked at the bracelet on her wrist with a trace of weakness.


    The rtionship between her and Jepherson was like the bracelet on her wrist. She was trapped in it,


    like how she would not be able to unlock this piece of jewelry.


    She wanted to run away, but she couldn''t. She wanted to face it calmly, but she couldn''t.


    And right then, she was being dragged away by others.


    After a while, Raeleigh said she was a little tired. Jepherson tidied Raeleigh''s bed and asked her to lie


    down. Then, he stayed by her side and watched over her for the whole night.


    When Raeleigh opened her eyes in the morning, she found Jepherson resting in the chair. He didn''t


    notice that Raeleigh had woken up.


    Raeleigh took a jacket and covered him with it. Then, she got down from the bed, put on her shoes and


    clothes, and walked out of the door. She wanted to go out to get some fresh air.


    When she opened the door, there was no one outside, so she stepped out into the corridor.


    As she walked, she looked around. It was still Tristany, so no one was up. Plus, there were very few


    people on this floor, so usually, there were not many people.


    Raeleigh walked for a while and stood in front of the elevator. She hesitated for a while, not pressing


    the button. Then, she turned around and went downstairs using the stairway. When she was


    downstairs, Raeleigh sat on one of the chairs. She remembered that when she was a child, she was


    surrounded by a group of children. Her lips curled into a smile.


    She really missed those carefree days.


    Unfortunately, the fire had destroyed them for her. She was the only one left.
