Chapter 1481 He Only Hoped
Raeleigh listened to Xanthus and stayed in Waverly Vige. That afternoon, Raeleigh followed
Jepherson to Jack Town Hotel. Jacky immediately arranged a room for her as soon as she arrived at
the hotel.
However, Xanthus didn''t like the houses in the back of Waverly Vige, so he decided to go house
hunting that day.
Raeleigh also had no idea what Xanthus wanted. Perhaps it was because he didn''t want to stay with
Jacky and the rest, so that was why he went to look for houses.
In the afternoon, Raeleigh went house hunting with Xanthus. After looking around the entire vige,
they finally stumbled upon a house with a for sale sign in the front.
When Xanthus saw the sign, he immediately walked towards it. Raeleigh followed him into the house
and asked him why he didn''t want to rent it instead of buying it since they were only here for a few
days.
Xanthus replied, "Why not? It''s a good investment anyway. I''ll put our house in Capital City on the
market and move here instead. The air is so much fresher and cleaner here. Not to mention the people,
they are so friendly."
"This vige is two hours away from Capital City. If we sell our house in Capital City, you would have to
spend two hours traveling! Are you sure about that?"
"Yes, I''m sure."
Xanthus was adamant on buying a house here. After entering the house, he walked around and
realised that the house only needed a minor renovation.
Raeleigh asked the owner about the price. The houses here were more reasonablepared to the
houses in Capital City.
The house only cost about 100, 000 dors and it was about 100 square metres. It was considered
quite spacious for the two of them.
However, Xanthus felt that it was too small, so he went into the next house and talked to the owner.
When the owner heard that Xanthus was willing to buy his house at a price that was higher than the
market price, he immediately agreed to sell the house.
"Where would you live if you sold your house to us?"
Raeleigh was a little concerned, but Xanthus quickly said, "I''m in no rush to move in. You can continue
to stay here even after we sign the agreement. When the weather gets a little warmer, then you can
start looking for a ce to stay. It''s not good to leave the house empty at this time."
The owner was very grateful. Raeleigh followed Xanthus to sign the agreement and left.
Raeleigh couldn''t help but wonder why Xanthus wanted to stay in Waverly Vige?

They had dinner at Jack Town Hotel. After dinner, Raeleigh went out for a walk with Jepherson. They
talked about the days'' events and he mentioned that this vige had everything except for a modern
and well-equipped hospital.
After hearing that, Raeleigh immediately understood Xanthus'' intentions.
"Can a small vige like this afford to hire my brother?"
Don''t even mention the others. Even Raeleigh herself could not believe it.
Xanthus was a well known orthopedic physician. Not everyone could afford to hire him, plus he did not
.......
Raeleigh lowered her eyes and thought to herself, "Perhaps Xanthus is a happy go lucky kind of
person and would be content with anything."
"The hospital here is a little too small," Raeleigh pointed out. However, Jepherson said, "They can
always expand it. Besides, having a small hospital here is good."
"Waverly Vige is rtively popted, but the equipments in the hospital are a little outdated. Your
brother has an aptitude for business. He just wants to gain a foothold here, but he has to rely on Jacky
for this. I wonder whether there is a chance for them to cooperate?"
"Are you saying that Jacky will be one of the investors?" Raeleigh looked over. The corners of
Jepherson''s lips curled. "You can say that."
Raeleigh did not say nothing. As it was a bit cold outside, Raeleigh decided to call it a night and
returned to her room in Jack Town Hotel.
Her room had already been prepared, so Raeleigh went back to her room immediately aftering
back. Jepherson intended to follow her but as soon as she opened the door, she found Xanthus
already lying on the bed. It caught her by surprise.
Raeleigh stood at the door and looked at Xanthus, who was fiddling with his phone. When his sister
entered the room, he quickly put down his phone and sat up. There was only one bed in the room, but
two people?
Jepherson stood behind Raeleigh and did not move. She asked awkwardly, "Am I in the wrong room?"
"No, you''re in the right room. I''m a little worried about you sleeping alone, so I decided to bunk with you
tonight." Xanthus had already changed into his pyjamas. As he spoke, he came down from the bed and
went to the door to look at Jepherson. "Thank you, Mr. Harvey for bringing my sister back safely."
Jepherson remained quiet as he stared at Raeleigh.
"Do you minding out for a second? I want to talk to you." Jepherson turned around and walked
outside. Xanthus looked at Raeleigh before going outside and closing the door behind him. They talked
in the corridor.
"Mr. Harvey, what do you want to talk about? I''m a little tired, I want to sleep Tristany."
Xanthus stood at one side and urged Jepherson.
"Raeleigh is not young anymore. She knows what she''s doing. I''m sure she knows whether she''s
happy with what she has."
Jepherson turned around, a cold glint shing in his eyes.
Xanthus frowned. "I am Raeleigh''s brother. I think I have the right to protect her."
"If you want to protect her, you should have done that long ago! Why are you only doing this now?
Raeleigh and I are in a rtionship. I want her to make her own decisions, not you!
Xanthus, I respect you because I regard you as my brother. I don''t want you toe between us, but if
you insist, I will take you down."
Jepherson''s expression was cold. Santiago was about to enter his room when he saw Jepherson and
Xanthus ring at each other. Santiago quickly walked towards Jepherson, but by then, Jepherson had
already stepped to one side.
Jepherson told Santiago, "Bring him to your room."
"Ok." Santiago turned around and looked at Xanthus. He took a few steps forward and reached out to
grab Xanthus''s wrist. Then, he pulled Xanthus to his room. He opened the door and pushed Xanthus
in. Xanthus wanted to leave but Santiago stopped him. He closed the door and tilted his head. "With
me around, you can forget about leaving this room."
Xanthusughed. "Do you know what you''re doing?"
"That''s my own business. You are going to bunk with me tonight." Santiago leaned against the door
and blocked the door. There were only two of them in the room. Santiago didn''t budge and Xanthus
had no way out.
When Xanthus realised that he wasn''t going to be able to leave this room, he turned around, lifted the
quilt, andy on the bed. He stared straight at the ceiling until Santiago got into bed with him.
Xanthusughed. "You love her too. Why aren''t you willing to fight for her?"
"He is my brother."
"But he''s not willing to let you have her." Xanthus looked at Santiago. Santiago pulled the quilt and
closed his eyes. "You won''t understand."
"I''m also an older brother. I will give Raeleigh the best."
Santiagoughed. "My brother has given me nothing but the best."
"Since he has already given you nothing but the best, why not give you Raeleigh as well?"
Santiago smirked.
Santiago opened his eyes and looked at Xanthus. "What I have is the best, but in your eyes, there is no
end to it. Don''t use your thoughts to measure our feelings, just like how you''re not giving Raeleigh a
chance to find happiness."
"I''ve never done that." Xanthus couldn''t help but feel sad when he heard what Santiago said. Raeleigh
was his sister. Of course he only wanted her to have the best.
