Chapter 1146 Mystery of Life
Raeleigh entered the lecture hall and realized that there was a neer that day. Hadrian had
entered the hall, and he was sitting in thest row, right behind Scarlette.
Raeleigh had no idea what had happened between Scarlette and Hadrian as they were there before
her. However, Raeleigh knew that they must have had a fight, since she could feel the tension between
them.
As soon as Raeleigh took her seat, she immediately switched her focus in preparation for ss.
However, midway through the lecture, she felt a little ufortable, so she decided to leave the ss
earlier. Thus, leaving Santiago''s sight.
Raeleigh went to the restroom in order to avoid arousing Santiago''s suspicion. As a result, when she
emerged from the restroom, she found Santiago standing outside, leaning against the wall. He only left
when he was sure that Raeleigh was alright.
"You don''t have to follow me. Nothing will happen to me in the restroom." Raeleigh wanted to meet
Xanthus, so of course, she had to avoid Santiago, but he kept following her. She found it very
annoying.
"You don''t want me to follow you? Why? Do you have a secret meeting to attend to?" Santiago
proceeded to walk ahead with his hands in his pocket as he asked Raeleigh. Raeleigh raised her head
to look at him. "What secret meeting? Who else can I possibly meet in private besides your brother?"
"Like me, for example." Santiago turned around to face Raeleigh and walked towards her. He forced
Raeleigh to stop, and only then did she stop.
"I don''t care what you want to do, but you''d better give me a heads-up. Otherwise, I will not take any
responsibility if you make a fool of yourself." Santiago observed Raeleigh for a while before turning
around to leave.
Raeleigh hurriedly followed in his steps and informed him, "I do have something to tell you, but it''s
rted to my identity, so I can''t tell you."
"I know more about you than you know about yourself. How can I not know your background?"
Santiago snorted. He did not even turn around to look at her.
Raeleigh did not know what to say. She felt like such a fool when she was around a smart alec like
Santiago.
"What do you know?" Raeleigh asked cautiously. Santiago stopped and turned to Raeleigh.
"Everything."
Raeleigh remained silent and pondered for a while. Then, Santiago turned around and called out to
Raeleigh. "Come here."
Raeleigh lifted her head and looked at Santiago, who was quite far ahead of her, so she had to
approach him.
They left the building and made their way to Xanthus'' infirmary. Santiago stopped and turned around to
look at Raeleigh. "I''ll wait for you here."
Raeleigh froze for a while before walking towards Santiago. She raised her head and looked at him.
"How is it possible that you know so much?"
"If you don''t want people to know, then you shouldn''t do it. There''s nothing in this world that I don''t
know. The whole world knows that if an adult falls from such a high ce, then it''s a miracle that the
adult is alive, not to mention the child in the womb."
"Later, my father recalled that when my mother fell down the cliff, her belly must have hit something. I
feel that even if the baby managed to survive, it would probably be paralyzed. It''s impossible that
nothing happened to the baby."
"Although you''re somewhat stupid, you''re not paralyzed."
Santiago''s words shocked Raeleigh. What he said was true. Even if the baby was indeed alive, it was
impossible for the baby to be entirely fine. That was to say, the baby had most probably died, but...
Raeleigh looked at Santiago. "But he has been searching for so many years, hasn''t he?"
"You also know that he has been searching for so many years. Everyone knows that this is a sore
subject for him. At that time, my mother went there for his sake. We did not expect her to fall off the
cliff. Her temporary disappearance nTristany ruined our entire family. My father nTristany lost his sight
in the process of searching for her. With such an incident, how much of a blow did his heart suffer?"

"Although there was a reason, and he was also innocent, everyone knows his character. He''s clinging
on to that slight hope that he will be able to find our sister."
"When he was five years old, he was young and ignorant. When he grew up, he gradually understood
that it was him who caused our mother to fall off the cliff and the baby''s disappearance. He''s been
ming himself ever since."
"My father tried looking for our sister. In fact, it proves that the baby had most probably died. Although
we''re unwilling to ept this reality, only a fool would cling to the little hope."
"He''s a smart fool, while you''re genuinely a fool."
Raeleigh froze for a moment. "Why do you have to drag me into everything? It seems that if you don''t
call me a fool, then you will feel ufortable."
"Hmph!" Santiago turned around and looked elsewhere. "It''s possible that Steffan lied, but I doubt that
he would lie to my mother about this matter. He most probably told a white lie. I think that the child has
most likely passed away. My mother was in really poor health at that time, so that''s why he did not lie,
and I think he fell in love with my mother at that time."
Raeleigh was silent. She wasn''t sure whether she should believe Santiago or not. But then again, she
knew that Santiago would not lie about that matter. After all, the baby was his sibling.
Raeleigh was silent for a while and said, "Then, why don''t youe in with me? I''ve thought about this
matter long and hard. I don''t know what else to think."
Raeleigh said as she entered the medical room, followed by Santiago.
Xanthus was not surprised to see Raeleigh, but he was surprised to see Santiago.
"I thought Scarlette''s supposed to be with you? Since when has she been reced with another
person?" Xanthus intended to mediate the dispute, but Raeleigh cut to the chase and said, "He knows.
I asked him to apany me. You can tell me."
Raeleigh watched as Santiago entered the room and took his seat at the side. Xanthus then put his
coat on. "Let''s go out and have a conservation."
Raeleigh looked at him for a while before she stood up. She looked at Santiago and waited for him to
get up. Then, the three of them went out together.
The three of them got into the car and found a quiet ce. In fact, they were at Xanthus'' new house.
After getting out of the car, Raeleigh looked up at Xanthus'' house. It was quite luxurious and had
peaceful surroundings. She then asked, "Did you just buy it?"
"Yes, I did. Not bad, right? I''m nning on settling down here. Our parents wille over some time
year to apany you."
As Xanthus spoke, he nced at Santiago. "Let''s go in and take a look."
Xanthus talked as he entered the vi. The door opened. The living room was grand. Raeleigh realized
that it was notvishly decorated and had a musty smell from the books.
There were no servants in the house. After entering the house, Xanthus removed his shoes, and asked
Raeleigh and Santiago to take a seat in the living room. He poured three sses of water and set them
on the table. Then, he brought out some documents and information sheets for Raeleigh. With that, he
said, "Have a look. This may be the reason you said that you were three years old when you arrived at
the orphanage."
Raeleigh epted the brown envelope, took out the documents inside, and began reading through the
information. Most of the notes were handwritten, with signatures and photos on them.
One of them was a baby girl wrapped in swaddling clothes.
The most interesting thing was that there was a USB drive.
Raeleigh read the information. Xanthus inserted the USB drive in theputer. Soon, a woman who
was about ten years older than Raeleigh appeared on the screen. She was beautiful and looked like
she was in her thirties.
It was that woman, who uncovered the mystery that had been haunting Raeleigh''s life.
