Chapter 1358 Don''t Let Anyone Disturb Us
Raeleigh had almost forgotten about this matter. Since something had happened to Santiago, the
promotion campaign would be shelved.
Thus, Raeleigh asked Jepherson, "What should we do next?"
Jepherson ruminated for a moment. "There won''t be a ''next''."
Pursing her lips, Raeleigh felt a sharp pain and released it instantly. The corners of Jepherson''s mouth
curled up as he raised his hand to pinch her chin. "Does it hurt?"
Raeleigh''s face puckered as she scowled at him. "It''s all your fault."
"If it hurts, then behave yourself. Women should stay out of what men need to do."
Jepherson let go of his grasp. Glowering at him, Raeleigh tightly held the shovel in her hand. She
wished she could strike him hard right on the head and smash him into pieces.
However, shecked the courage to do so.
After that, Raeleigh focused on the issue. "What should we do? What about our agreement?"
There was a hint of throatiness in her voice as she didn''t want things to end up like this. If the n was
put on hold, then she probably couldn''t leave in time.
However, the problem was...
Raeleigh turned around and looked at his cold, elf-like face. Why was a man bestowed with such a face
beyond her? She found it very bizarre,
Jepherson seemed to be able to see through her mind. In an instant, the corners of his lips curled into
a smile. "What else do you want to say?"
Raeleigh pursed her lips. "Nothing."
Jepherson smirked and walked to the side to help her with the cooking. "Let''s go to the office to settle
it. If it''s possible, then we can hand it over to the team. Or, we can do our own parts separately and see
who will be the winner."
"Will you do that?" Raeleigh asked with uncertainty.
"Why not?"
"You are the senior executive of thepany. You have an obligation to make decisions for the sake of
thepany. You should..."
"I will." Jepherson chewed on a piece of cucumber. "In the past, I thought I wouldn''t do it, but now, I
will."
After the meal, Jepherson threw a nce at Raeleigh. Putting the te aside, he sat down and asked,
"Is there anyone else?"
"My brother."
"Call him toe over."
Raeleigh took out her phone and called Xanthus, who was then surprised to see Jepherson when he
came in from the outside. Raeleigh''s eyes fell on Xanthus. "I''m going to thepany in the afternoon
to deal with the matter regarding the car blueprint."
For some inexplicable reason, Raeleigh was very weary, both physically and mentally.
Raeleigh handed the bowl and cutlery to Xanthus, who sat down to have his meal with his head
down. Looking at him, Raeleigh had an uncanny feeling that she had fallen into a bottomless and
inescapable pit.
Initially, she relied on this opportunity to get out of the Harvey Group. Unexpectedly, not only did she
fail to leave, but such mishap also transpired.
Besides, Santiago had an ident not too long ago, so her n had to be postponed as well.
Obviously, Xanthus sensed Raeleigh''s helplessness. Sitting down next to her, he rested one of his
hands on Raeleigh''s shoulder. With the other hand, he touched her forehead and realized that she was
having a fever.
"Do you have a fever?" He put down the cutlery and stood up to help her get up. Raeleigh answered,
"No, I don''t. It was the heat from the room just now."
Xanthus shook his head. "No, it''s a fever."
At that moment, Jepherson also stood up. He was aware of her weak immune system.
"Let''s go for a checkup." Jepherson dashed to her side in a sh and told her so. However, Raeleigh
looked at him weakly. "There''s no need for that. I''m fine."
"You don''t have to act tough. I have the final say regarding thepany''s affairs. You don''t have to go
there today." Jepherson bent down to scoop Raeleigh into his arms. Then, he turned around and
walked towards the door.
Raeleigh tried to shove him away. "Put me down quickly. I''m fine. Do you hear me?"
Carrying Raeleigh in his arms, Jepherson went out through the door and headed for the elevator. He
was heading to the examination room.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Behind them was Xanthus, who was making a call to arrange for an examination. As a result, Raeleigh
was brought to the examination room downstairs and underwent a full body checkup. With that, the day
had passed.
When the sky had darkened, Raeleighy on the bed in a daze. She knew very well that she was ill at
the moment.
After a day, Raeleigh woke up and felt that her eyelids were heavy and her body alternated between
feeling cold and hot.
When she turned around, Santiago was sitting next to her. She stared nkly at him. "Are you alright?"
Santiago was wearing a green shirt. He had fair skin, and he looked good in all kinds of clothes, but
green was an exception.
As it was winter, Raeleigh wondered why he had to wear a shirt of this color. Did he like green so
much?
Underneath the shirt, his body had been swathed in white gauze. Raeleigh inquired, "Did you run out
before your wounds have healed?"
Santiago gazed at her. "What else?"
Raeleigh looked around the ward. Jepherson sat on one side, holding his phone as he was browsing
through the inte. Xanthus stood on the other side, reading the diagnosis report.
There was no one else.
"What happened to me?"
"Nothing." Santiago pinched her face. Just as he withdrew his hand, Jepherson''s toneless voice could
be heard in the entire ward. "If your hand itches, then chop it off."
Santiago lifted his head to cast a nce at Jepherson. "Why don''t you do it?"
Jepherson continued to look at his phone without saying anything else. After that, Raeleigh shot
daggers at Santiago. She barely retained her sanity in the midst of the brothers'' jealousy.
Santiago got up and went to the bed aside before hey down and began to sleep.
Raeleigh gazed at the sky outside. It was already dark, so it was impossible for her to go to the
That night, Releigh was restless. She was unsure whether it was because she had too much sleep or it
was due to other reasons.
There were four people in the ward, which were Raeleigh, Xanthus, Jepherson and Santiago.
With that, it was impossible for Raeleigh to fall asleep.
At two o''clock in the morning, she finally rested for a bit after tossing and turning around countless
times. Soon, it was the next morning.
Xanthus went to check on Raeleigh as soon as he woke up in the morning. He asked her why she had
been tossing and turning all night. However, Raeleigh sat aside and said nothing. It was just that she
had felt a little dizzy after breakfast. She was afraid that they would not let her go to thepany, so
she didn''t tell them about it. After taking the medicine, she went straight to thepany with
Jepherson.
Getting into the car, the dizziness worsened. Thus, she rested her head on Jepherson''s shoulder.
Jepherson let the chauffeur park the car at the entrance of thepany. Then, he carried Raeleigh out
of the car.
Raeleigh was in a deep slumber when Jepherson brought her out of the car. The chauffeur also got out
to cover her with a coat as it was too cold. Jepherson didn''t want to wake her up as it was rare for her
to sleep sofortably. He couldn''t bear to interrupt her sleep.
After entering through the door, he walked all the way to the elevator. Whenever the employees
greeted him, he would pull a long face.
Behind him, Seibert signaled the employees to shut their mouths. Only then did Jepherson gain
tranquility.
In the office, Jepherson put Raeleigh down, drew the curtains, and closed the door of the office.
"Don''t let anyone disturb us."
Jepherson spoke on the inte and the people outside immediately epted the order. Seibert went
out of the office too.
Raeleigh was on the couch, sleeping soundly. With that, Jepherson stripped off his zer and covered
her with it. He touched her forehead to find that it was cool. The medicine must have started to take
effect.
