Chapter 1304 An Attack In the Hospital
Belle was about to go to the elevator when Calvin paused for a moment. He looked at the elevator, his
ears perking up. There were four or five people, and their footsteps were brisk.
After taking two steps back, Calvin pulled her and made a "shh" sign. He walked to Raeleigh''s ward
and opened the door, pushing Belle in. "Don''te out," he said urgently.
Santiago was sitting inside of the ward. Seeing his mother''s nervous expression, he immediately knew
that something had happened. He stood up and looked back at Xanthus. "Take care of my Mom and
Raeleigh."
"Santiago, what''s wrong?"
Belle clutched his arm and looked up at him. Santiago''s face was filled with glee. "Maybe you should
ask your good ol'' mother-inw."
Belle yelped and released her younger son''s hand. She didn''t respond for a long time and couldn''t
react at all.
Only then did Santiago walk to the door. "Bloody h*ll, why is she so freaking troublesome! What on
Earth is Grandpa doing now? If he''s not gonna control his wife, then she''ll be an old witch, I swear
to God."
Santiago stepped out. Belle looked embarrassed, but she was still worried about them and wanted to
go out and have a look. Before she could react, Xanthus put down his book and stood up. Although he
was displeased, it was not their fault. In short, it was Paige''s.
"Mrs. Harvey, it''s dangerous over there. You''d better stay and take care of Raeleigh. I''ll go outside and
check things out. This is a hospital and the interior is designed in a closed way. There should be only
one group of people. I''ll go outside and keep a lookout. You ought to stay."
"Then, be careful. Violence doesn''t choose their victims," Belle exined. Xanthus smiled and said,
"Don''t worry. Mrs. Harvey, you should go to Raeleigh''s bedside and wait for a while. I will go out, and
see what I can do to help."
Xanthus said and went outside. He said he was going to help. In fact, if he stood in the doorway, then it
would be most helpful for Raeleigh. He should protect her and prevent people from entering her ward.
As the door of the ward closed, Belle looked at Raeleigh with guilt. "Raeleigh, don''t think badly of your
Grandma Paige. It is all because of me. When she was young, she had hoped for Calvin to marry the
woman she liked. But in the end, she turned into a viin because his son insisted on marrying me."
"Although the mother and son have let go of their past issues, their rtionship has never been as
good as before. Mom always thinks that she is old and has a different way of thinking from us, so we
need to tolerate her."
Raeleigh bit her lips and after being in deep thought for a long time, she asked Belle, "Mrs. Harvey, do
you really think so?"
Belle was stunned for a moment and she thenughed. "You''re quite the honest girl, aren''t you?"
After Raeleigh finished her sentence, Belle poured a ss of water for Raeleigh. "Don''t me me. It''s
true, I don''t really think so. But when you''re at my age, what you want is to have a harmonious family. I
really don''t wanna destroy the peace here."
"Grandma Paige has regretted her actions and has changed her attitude towards me. Of course, it also
includes my efforts to be good to her and to be considerate to her.
"But after all, she is a person who needs to be taken care of. This time, Mr. Harvey took me out on a
vacation and dumped all the family issues on her. This was a very irresponsible act. Once we left, she
would naturally have all the power. She wanted everyone to listen to her. In fact, we also listened to her
when we were at home."
"When a person reaches middle age, especially when their parents are getting older, they will grow
agitated. Paige is now acting like a child."
"Except that this child is out to kill people and inflict pain," Raeleigh interjected.
Raeleigh was never a person who lived in a bubble of denial. She knew Belle''s thoughts, that she did
not want her to resent Paige. But the problem was that even if she let bygones be bygones, Paige
would not let her go.
Belle hesitated for a moment. "She is old, and her days are numbered. We can''t be angry with her. In
fact, sometimes I will also be angry andin to Calvin about her. But after all, she is my husband''s
mother, and we are her children. We should forgive her."
"If you have a baby... No offence, Raeleigh, I''m just giving an example. Is that okay?"
"Yup."
"What I was saying is that when you have a child, they will be very obedient and sensible, as they are
still young. Their minds are impressionable. But one day when the child grows up, say, just like
Santiago, he meets new friends outside and goes around doing bad things. Will you ignore him just
because of that?"
Raeleigh shook her head.
Belle touched Raeleigh''s hand and patted her. "As a matter of fact, the same theory applies. We can''t
change anything, but we have to tolerate it. Our children are our flesh and blood, and so are our
parents. There is no absolute guarantee that when they get old, they won''t be as unreasonable as your

Grandma Paige. What do you think?"
Raeleigh wasughing because of Belle''s words. She took a look at the door and realized that the
fighting had stopped.
"I won''t hate her. She''s the one thinking I''m not good enough. I can understand if she prefers other
people over me. To each their own, anyway. But I know that even if I give up, she won''t."
"Not to worry. After this incident, Calvin will make things clear to her."
"I see."
What else could Raeleigh say? Belle was doing this for the sake of her family. Since she needed to
recover then, she could not escape. Moreover, she had never thought about staying here. So, she
might have to roll with their punches.
One day, when she could leave this dangerous ce, Paige would not find trouble with her again.
The door of the ward was pushed open and Xanthus came in first. Raeleigh observed Xanthus
immediately. She breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that he was unscathed. Otherwise, she would have
been scared.
Following them was Calvin. Belle saw him, stood up, and walked over to him. She held her husband''s
arm and scanned him from top to bottom.
Raeleigh didn''t see Santiago, making her heart leap to her throat.
"Where is Santiago?" Belle did not see her son. Calvin turned around to take a look. "Come here."
Calvin called his son as if he had just called a pet dog. Santiago then walked to the door and asked,
"What?"
"Look, your Mom is worried about you."
Santiago was unusually obedient. He stood at the door and raised his hands. One of his hands was
empty and the other was holding a phone. He turned around to show Belle that he was fine. Belle then
breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Raeleigh and smiled. Raeleigh stared at Santiago with a worried
face. She was finally at ease.
Santiago immediately turned around and left. Belle asked, "Where are you going?"
"The people outside have to be dealt with." Calvin cated his wife, sent her to the side, and looked at
Xanthus. "I will watch over this ce. Go and help him."
"Calvin..."
Belle widened her eyes. Xanthus was Raeleigh''s family, so how could he order others around?
Calvin did not reply. He held his wife''s shoulders and stared intently at Xanthus. Only then did he
observe Raeleigh''s condition and stepped out to help.
