Chapter 1568 Stay Together
Zorion walked to the front of the car. Standing outside the car door, he looked at Jepherson who was
sitting in a daze. Then, Zorion asked, "Would you like toe down and take a walk?"
Jepherson lifted his gaze to look at Zorion and muttered, "Where did you find Raeleigh?"
"One kilometer away from Green House."
Jepherson was deep in thought, "Does that mean Raeleigh was sent to prison?"
Jepherson clenched his fists tightly as he spoke, his knuckles cracking with each word he spoke.
Zorion nced at Jepherson''s arm building with veins and reminded Jepherson, "Things might not be
as you think. We have yet made a thorough investigation."
"Yanora''s death was too quick. This matter isn''t that simple. We''ve been looking for Raeleigh for a

month, so the Cole family must know about it."
"Since they''ve decided to go all out, don''t me me for being ruthless."
Jepherson turned around and looked out the window before saying, "I want to meet the one in charge
of Green House."
Zorion stood still for a while before saying, "We don''t know anyone in there."
"Then how did Raeleigh get in?" Jepherson scoffed as he turned to look at Zorion with a slight grin on
his face. Zorion couldn''t help but feel worried when he saw the grin on Jepherson''s face. This was a
tactic often used by Jepherson to conceal his pain.
They say that a person at wits'' end was the most dangerous. At that very moment, Jepherson looked
desperate, which could signify his intent to do anything he wanted, even if it was taking someone else''s
life.
"Find a way to find out who the current warden is. I want to meet him."
Zorion stood outside and said nothing in response. It was obvious that Jepherson had already shut off
all other advice from others.
"I''ll try," Zorion closed the door for Jepherson and turned to walk towards his car.
All the while, Calvin didn''t get out of the car. Instead, he made a phone call to Zorion, who picked up
the phone and exined the situation. Belle was instantly at a loss.
"Let''s wait and see. He won''t listen to us right now, so we can only return home."
Ste was still at home waiting to be dealt with. Right then, Calvin''s top priority was to get rid of the
past grudges from the previous generation so as not to cause trouble for his sons.
After the couple had left, Zorion left the ce as well.
Waiting at the entrance of the vige, Jacky got out of the car to look for Jepherson once he had
arrived. Jepherson, however, did not wait for him to get to the front of the car and pushed the door
open to exit the car instead, informing Jacky, "I won''t return today. Thank you for your help."
Jacky was stunned. He stared at Jepherson, who seemed to have returned to normal. For a moment,
he was at a loss for words.
Jepherson checked the time and ordered, "Try contacting Santiago and tell him toe home as soon
as possible."
With that, he turned around and headed towards Raeleigh''s ce.
...
Raeleigh froze upon returning home to find that the house was empty with only piles of bare bricks and
tilesying in front of her. She looked around and noticed Xanthus emerging from somewhere hidden.
Xanthus walked over the moment he saw Raeleigh. He noticed how she was still in men''s clothing and
knew that something terrible must have happened, so he pulled Raeleigh into his arms.
"It''s good that you''re back."
Raeleigh embraced Xanthus back and murmured, "Sorry to have made you worry."
"It''s normal for me to worry, but it''s all because I didn''t take good care of you," Xanthus had been
ming himself for what had happened to Raeleigh. If it wasn''t because of his determination to seek
out Raeleigh, he would''ve still be bedridden with no life left in him to stand up.
"It''s not your fault," Raeleigh led Xanthus go and the siblings walked side by side for some time.
Raeleigh was of a few words as Austin was all she could think of. Xanthus asked, "Where have you
been these days?"
Raeleigh looked at Xanthus after a long time and sighed, "Give me some time before I''m ready to tell
you."
Xanthus nodded. He shouldn''t have asked.
Raeleigh entered the house. They had moved to a neighbouring house, which was ordinary but clean.
When she stepped into the living room through the door, Jazelle jolted up from the sofa and hurried
towards Raeleigh.
She then hugged Raeleigh tightly.
"My baby..."
Lamar turned to look at his daughter. His gaze was smeared withplex emotions.
It was rare and precious to regain what had been lost, but losing it once again was a heart-wrenching
pain no one could understand.
Yet, he had to experience it twice, so it was conceivable that he was in low spirits.
Raeleigh felt sorrowful, but she did not cry out loud. She held Jazelle for a long time before she let go
and wiped Jazelle''s tears away.
"I''m back. Mom, don''t cry," Raeleigh smiled. Jazelle raised her hand and stroked Raeleigh''s short hair
in between sobs, "Baby..."
"My hair was always a nuisance. Now that I cut it off, I feel much more liberated," Raeleigh grinned.
Jazelle was briefly stunned before hugging Raeleigh tighter and bursting into louder sobs.
It took a long time for Raeleigh to stop Jazelle from crying. After that, Raeleigh sat down on the sofa
with her family and requested a meal. Jazelle got up to cook while Lamar went to help her in the
kitchen.
Raeleigh fixed her eyes on the kitchen and felt sorry for her family.
In an effort to reassure Xanthus who was sitting opposite from her, she decided to say, "I''m fine. I
suffered a little and did some hard work."
"Don''t worry, I still have some unfinished business to deal with. When everything is settled, I will return
home and stay with Mom and Dad."
"You still need to continue your studies," Xanthus didn''t want Raeleigh to give up on pursuing her
education. However, Raeleigh shook her head, "I can study anywhere. I just don''t want to stay here
anymore."
"In addition, I will tell Jepherson that I will sign a contract with him and regrly send him designs from
abroad. In this way, we can still proceed with the agreement."
"Since you have already made up your mind, we will respect your choice."
Xanthus had recently lost a lot of weight. He was relieved as Raeleigh was back. As for what had
happened, Raeleigh didn''t want to let others know, so he couldn''t probe into it although he was her
elder brother.
"I want to get some rest. You should rest Tristany too after dinner."
Feeling exhausted, Xanthus got up and returned to his room. Raeleigh sat on the sofa and waited for
dinner. In fact, she was not hungry at all, but she could only ask for a meal to distract her parents.
Jazelle had cooked a bowl of noodles for Raeleigh. As she had not eaten noodles for a long time,
Raeleigh gobbled everything up and even drank up all the soup.
Jazelle tried to hold her tears back as she watched Raeleigh eat. How pitiful her daughter looked!
After she was full, Raeleigh suggested, "Dad, Mom, let''s all get some rest. We can talk about it
tomorrow."
"Alright," Jazelle answered. She stood up and went to the room with Raeleigh. After taking a few steps
forward, she heard someone knocking on the door, so she turned around to open it.
Standing outside the door, Jepherson annouced once he saw Raeleigh, "I won''t leave tonight. I''m
staying here."
Raeleigh paused momentarily before asking her parents for permission, "Do you have any rooms left?"
"Yes..."
"There''s no need to get me another spare room. Raeleigh and I are husband and wife, so we should
stay together."
With that, Jepherson entered the house. Raeleigh stood still in the doorway and did not close the door
until Jepherson appeared from the room after washing up. Only then did she close the door and turn
around.
