Chapter 1051 First Love


    The ne touched down the next day. Raeleigh was exhausted. It did not ur to her that Jepherson


    would be travelling to a distantnd so far away from the country.


    Jepherson held her hand as soon as they disembarked from the ne. They got into a taxi and headed


    straight to the hotel.


    As he got off the taxi, Jepherson asked the hotel receptionist some details about a particr room. He


    sounded as if he had arranged to meet up with a friend.


    The hotel receptionist politely turned him down. "I''m sorry," she said. "Our guests'' details shall remain


    confidential."


    "Sure, I understand," Jepherson said. He then turned around and shrugged his shoulders, looking


    rather disappointed. He made a phone call afterwards.


    Raeleigh gazed at Jepherson. She could hear a man''s breathy moan when Jepherson''s call was


    connected. It was cringeworthy. Immediately, she turned around and directed her gaze elsewhere.


    Jepherson hung up on the man there and then. "That old man is still as sprightly as ever," Jepherson


    thought. "But what is up with the afternoon delights though? He should do it at night."


    "Let''s take a seat," Jepherson said as he held Raeleigh''s hand while carrying the suitcase. "You''re


    tired, aren''t you? Let''s grab some snacks." Raeleigh was indeed tired. She could be seen leaning


    against Jepherson.


    They walked to the opposite side of the lobby to take a seat. Jepherson sped her in his arms. They


    sat on a couch and ordered some food.


    At that moment, Raeleigh felt nauseous.


    She had no idea why she felt like throwing up.


    "I''m not feeling well," she said. Jepherson lowered his head and pinched her face. "Having motion


    sickness, huh?" Jepherson asked.


    Raeleigh shook her head. "Could it be a stomach flu then?" Jepherson thought.


    Jepherson then touched Raeleigh''s forehead. "You don''t have a temperature," he said.


    "But I''ve been feeling sick though," Raeleigh said. "I have to go to the washroom." As soon as she got


    up, she retched.


    Like a cat on a hot tin roof, Jepherson bent over immediately. Then, he carried Raeleigh to the


    washroom while holding his bag.


    Raeleigh seemed to be suffering from food poisoning. The moment she went into the washroom, she


    vomited all over the basin.


    While Jepherson was waiting anxiously, Calvin called up.


    "Raeleigh''s sick," Jepherson said. "We''re at the lobby. Come over here, please."


    Jepherson was on tenterhooks as he waited outside.


    "How are you doing?" Jepherson asked.


    Jepherson kept knocking on the door. A slew of hotel guests could be seen staring at him, wondering


    what had happened. Still feeling sick, Raeleigh mustered the strength to make her way out of the


    washroom.


    As soon as she walked out of the washroom, she leaned on Jepherson''s shoulder. Jepherson bent


    over and carried her to the lobby.


    While Jepherson was heading to the lobby, he saw Calvin and Belle.


    Belle was taken aback when she saw her son carrying a woman. Soon afterwards, she was all smiles.


    Calvin glowered at her. "Why are you smiling though?" Calvin said. "There''s nothing funny. I have no


    idea why he''s here. Well, I''m not going back home though."


    Calvin hadn''t had enough fun. Naturally, he refused to head home.


    Belle shrugged him off. She dashed towards Jepherson and asked, "Jerry, what''s wrong with her?"


    Jepherson thought that his savior had shown up. "I''ve got no idea," he said hurriedly. "She was feeling


    nauseous when we got off the ne."


    "What has she eaten?" Belle asked. Her charming face showed signs of ageing. However, it was still as


    tender as ever.


    If she kept mum about her age, then no one would believe that she was a mother of two grown-up


    boys.


    Raeleigh gazed at Belle. She was surprised to find that Belle is in fact Jepherson''s mother. They


    looked like siblings to her.


    "I haven''t been eating anything, and merely consumed some drinks," Raeleigh said weakly. Calvin


    frowned and murmured, "Oh, Jerry, you little rascal."


    Belle turned around and looked at her husband. She thought that he was irritated. However, she found


    no traces of anger as she looked into his eyes.


    "Let''s head to the hospital and get a specialist in obstetrics and gynaecology to check on her," Calvin


    said.


    Then, Calvin walked towards his wife and sped her in his arms. Belle felt a little awkward. Soon


    afterwards, she realized that her son had left the lobby, leaving his bag on the floor. Had she not seen


    the bag, she would not have believed that her son was here moments ago.


    By the time Calvin and Belle arrived at the hospital, the doctor had confirmed that Raeleigh was


    pregnant.


    "How was it?" Belle asked. Jepherson was all smiles as he got up and held Belle tightly in his arms.


    Calvin walked towards them and pulled them apart. "Hey, kid. That''s my wife," he said.


    Jepherson did not respond to his remark. He went into the ward to see Raeleigh.


    Belle rolled her eyes at Calvinon. Having had to put up with nausea and vomiting, Raeleigh was then


    feeling weak and disoriented.


    Belle turned around to look at Raeleigh. She sat down and said, "Pregnantdies have all sorts of


    difort in many different ways. So, fret not."


    "I''m so happy to know you''re pregnant," Belle added. "It''s just that…" Jepherson looked at Belle and


    interjected, "Not so soon…"


    "Well, how old are you?" Calvin asked. He did not father a child at such a young age. Now that


    Jepherson had fathered a child at such a tender age, Calvin felt like a sore loser. If only there was a


    time machine to transport him back to his younger days...


    "Humph!" Calvin snorted.


    Belle looked at him and said, "Hey, what''s wrong with you? Why are you perpetually angry?"


    Calvin sat down and looked at Raeleigh. "She looks like you in your younger days."


    Belle was surprised to hear that. She looked at Raeleigh closely and said, "Oh, really?"


    Raeleigh squinted her eyes. "Am I Jepherson''s first love?" she wondered.


    "Jerry, be sure to look after her," Belle said. "I''ll simmer some broth for her. Make sure she''s properly


    nourished throughout her pregnancy. Goodness me, look at her hand. It''s so slender. I wonder if the


    baby''s development would be impeded. By the way, have you guys nned to tie the knot? I mean,


    she''s pregnant. You don''t want the child to be born out of wedlock, do you?"


    At that moment, Belle recalled an incident in her past. She could not help but to feel that in life, one


    should always n ahead.


    Jepherson thought for a moment. Then, he said, "Well, Grandma doesn''t like Raeleigh. I''ve always told


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    her that Raeleigh is Santiago''s girlfriend. Now that she''s pregnant, I''ve got to tell the truth. I''ve no idea


    how she''d react though."


    "Oh, dear. How can you do that?" Belle said. "Grandma is concerned about you. You shouldn''t have


    lied to her. Have a heart-to-heart talk with her. I''m sure she''d give her blessings to your rtionship


    with Raeleigh." It had note to Belle''s knowledge that Jepherson had been lying to Paige about his


    rtionship with Raeleigh. Had she known this earlier, she would have returned home much sooner to


    resolve this issue.


    "She''s pregnant and people would naturally think Santiago is the one who fathered the child," Belle


    thought. "Oh, no. This is going to be a real mess."


    Belle knew Paige''s character well enough. She was certain that Paige would hate Raeleigh even more


    if she knew that she was pregnant.


    Belle felt sorry for Raeleigh.


    "Oh, Raeleigh, you poor thing," Belle said. "Jerry, I''ll have a word with Grandma." Belle did not wish to


    see her future daughter-inw going through all the sufferings that she had to put up with over the


    years. Now that Raeleigh was pregnant, she would try her level best to tend to her.


    Calvin could not be bothered. His son asked for it, or so he thought.


    However, he was ted, as he would soon be a grandfather.


    "You''re too slim," Calvin said. "Be sure to get yourself properly nourished."


    Calvin stood up and sped Belle''s arm. "It''s a little stuffy here," Calvin said. "Let''s go out and get


    some fresh air. I thought you wanted to simmer some broth for her. Well, what are you waiting for? Let''s


    go."


    He then grabbed hold of Belle''s arm and led her out of the ward.


    Raeleigh opened her eyes slowly and saw Jepherson.
