Chapter 1166 Propose a Marriage


    Raeleigh sat outside the ward. Deanna had undergone the examination, and she appeared to be


    alright. It was just that she had been weeping while holding Zorion''s hand since she woke up, as if she


    had suffered a great grievance and death was beckoning to her.


    It wasn''t until then that Raeleigh found out Zorion was apanied by a girl named Rossie.

    She looked pretty and elegant in her dress. She just sat there quietly without saying a word or looking


    at anyone. Her bright, big eyes were like the stars and the moon, twinkling with a unique charm.


    While Zorion was keeping Deannapany in the ward, Rossie had been sitting outside. She neither


    moved, nor did she look around.


    Raeleigh observed her for a while, discovering that her attire was pretty modest. She had wrapped her


    neck with a red silk scarf.


    In the past, Raeleigh hadn''t understood why some people would cover their neckspletely. But at


    that time, Raeleigh recalled something.


    Raeleigh frowned, realizing the reason Zorion had been keeping a low profile recently. There was such


    a person beside him.


    Jephrson sat beside Raeleigh. He didn''t seem to care much about anyone, including the woman in


    front of him, Rossie.


    He fixed his nonchnt eyes on one side. He, too, was waiting to know about Deanna''s condition.


    Santiago stood aside with his hands in his pockets. He had also been waiting for the news.


    Jacky, on the other hand, was also standing at the doorway. He came in with Jepherson, which


    astonished Raeleigh. Zorion''s men were not afraid of Santiago. Instead, they were afraid of Jepherson.


    At that moment, the most anxious person was none other than Jacky. Although there was only a door


    between Deanna and him, it made him feel as though they were a world apart.


    Raeleigh gazed at him. Although he didn''t show anything, Raeleigh could see from Jacky''s eyes, which


    were fixed at the door of the ward, that his whole heart was with Deanna.


    ...


    The door of the ward was pushed open, and the nurse walked in. It was time to give her a new dose of


    medicine.


    Jacky stood up and walked towards the door. He went inside sessfully without being stopped by


    anybody. Raeleigh was rather surprised to see that.


    The nurse was bewildered when she turned her head to find that a man was entering the ward with her.


    After that, she blushed as she gazed at Jacky. She thought, "What a handsome man! What happened


    today? Why are hotties making an appearance here in the hospital?"


    Jacky acted as if he didn''t see the nurse before him. After going into the ward, he headed straight for


    Deanna, who was sobbing. He stopped, extending his hand to touch Deanna''s tear-stained face.


    The nurse was disappointed to find that he was into another girl.


    As soon as Deanna saw Jacky, herrge eyes further widened. She was so frightened that she didn''t


    dare to move. She tugged at Zorion''s hand, refusing to let go.


    The expression on Jacky''s handsome face didn''t change much, but he didn''t look at Zorion. As he


    stared at Deanna, she instantly shifted her position to avoid being touched by Jacky.


    Jacky spoke with a low voice. "Don''t move."


    As a result, she sniffled twice and stopped moving.


    Zorion raised his head to look at Jacky. "Are you Jacky Scott?"


    "I am," Jacky admitted frankly. He swept his dark eyes over Zorion. "Tomorrow, I will pay you a visit for


    a marriage proposal."


    Deanna was flummoxed by his words.


    Zorion ruminated momentarily. "My father is not here, and I can''t make the decision when ites to


    my sister''s marriage. Anyway, it''s too Tristany for you to propose a marriage. You''re just a kidnapper,


    so you don''t have the right to do so. It''s a cakewalk for me to kill you. I just don''t want to make a big


    deal out of it. It might be a blessing in disguise for Deanna that you took her away from her previous


    danger, but you didn''t send her back in time, and you let her suffer a lot. I''m not going to forgive you for


    this."


    Jacky stood in front of Zorion. In the face of Zorion''s criticism, he only gave a flippant smile. "You mean


    that I can''t match your family''s status?"


    "What do you think?" Zorion''s eyes were as deep as the ocean, and his inscrutable countenance gave


    little away.


    Jacky cast a nce at Deanna before raising his hand to pull off something from his neck and threw it


    towards her, causing her to flinch.


    She looked down, seeing a jade pendant.


    "This is my betrothal gift. She can put it on, but she can''t discard it. Even though it may not seem to be


    valuable in mary terms, it is worth half of your Atkinson family''s properties. It''s true that I can''t


    match your family''s status today, but we have a long road ahead of us in the future. When I gain a


    foothold in Capital City, I wille and marry her."


    "By then, I hope you remember that she is already mine."


    Zorion furrowed his brow slightly. Something came to his mind, and he turned to look at Deanna, who


    was terror-stricken. She quickly handed it back to Jacky. "J-Jacky... take it back."


    "To go back on one''s words, it is something that cannot be recovered. No way will I take it back. Keep it


    properly. Don''t lose it."


    After saying that, Jacky nced at Zorion before turning around and walking out of the ward.


    He strode straight out without looking back.


    Raeleigh knitted her brows. She had seen Santiago''s unabated confidence before. It was different from


    Jacky''s.


    Jacky''s confidence was rather low-key in her eyes.


    After Jacky left, Raeleigh looked inside the ward opposite her. She wondered what had happened


    inside. Noticing that nobody had moved, she stood up and walked to the ward, intending to check on


    them.


    Deanna was holding the jade pendant and observing it. She had never seen it before, so she was quite


    curious.


    She kept looking at it as she wiped her tears. She had returned to her usual self.


    "Zorion." She handed it to Zorion, who then took it and gave it a once-over. Engraved on one side was


    the name ''Scott'', while the other side was a dragon.


    "Keep it. Don''t lose it." Zorion had seen this kind of thing before. It should be more than just a pendant,


    but he could not recall where he hadid eyes on it before.


    How could Jacky have owned such a thing?


    Waverly Vige was nothing if not a provincial vige. What mystery could be hidden in there?


    "Oh," Deanna replied. She hung it on her neck and tucked it underneath her clothes. She had shed


    enough tears, so she told Zorion that she was tired andy down on the bed to rest.


    Zorion consoled her briefly before he came out of the ward.


    Seeing Raeleigh, Zorion was startled for a second. Then, he stared at her for a while. He had some


    inexplicable feelings for her, which was strange even to himself.


    It was beyond a shadow of doubt that he had a crush on her. But right then, he had Rossie, and


    although his bond with Rossie was established based on a different manner, he felt very conflicted to


    have fallen in love with two women at the same time.


    "Get out of my way." Zorion assumed a stern attitude. Raeleigh was stunned for a moment before she


    retreated to somewhere else. Seeing that, Jepherson frowned intensely. Santiago turned around to


    gaze at Zorion, who walked past him and talked to Rossie. "Stay with Deanna. Someone needs to be


    with her when she wakes up."


    At that time, Rossie was under the control of others. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have been sopliant.


    She got up and went into the ward once Zorion had told her so. Closing the door, she sat beside


    Deanna.


    Afterwards, Zorion sat down and leaned against the chair, looking at Jepherson. "Why did you bring her


    here?"
