Chapter 1609 Saving Lives


    As soon as Belle sat down, Raeleigh noticed her nervousness. Belle stared at Louisa as she held her


    hands tightly as if she was pRhysing for a miracle.


    "Auntie Belle, don''t worry. Louisa is skilled; she was able to cure Zorion''s gastric problem after several


    acupuncture sessions when none of the doctors could." Raeleigh went tofort Belle.


    Belle raised her head slowly and said to Raeleigh, "Thank you, Raeleigh. I''m really on the verge of


    breaking down. The doctors all told me he will never be able to wake up."


    "Those people were too cruel. How can they do that to him?"


    Raeleigh sat down, holding Belle''s hand as she said, "Santiago''s blessed, Auntie Belle. We can''t give

    up now. You can rest assured that it will be alright."


    "Raeleigh, I know he means a lot to you, and I''m grateful for that," Belle said with teary eyes.


    Raeleigh said, "This only happened to Santiago because he went looking for me. Otherwise, with his


    intelligence, he wouldn''t have fallen into the trap."


    "I''m responsible for what happened to him; I can''t walk away. This is what I should do. Trust me, Auntie


    Belle, I will wake him up; I refuse to believe he''s okay with parting from us."


    "Thank you, Raeleigh!"


    Raeleigh just smiled. She knew that the hardest thing for a mother was losing her child, unable to do


    anything for them.


    "Alright."


    Louisa moved away, wiped her hands, and tucked Santiago in. Belle immediately turned her gaze to


    Louisa as she walked toward Belle, saying, "His considerably alright. Although he isn''t showing any


    signs of waking up, I can still try."


    "Could you?" Belle didn''t want to plunge herself too deep into Santiago''s condition to the point that she


    would neglect everything else, but she really couldn''t focus on anything else.


    "A vegetative patient is not dead; they may wake up. We just need to find the right treatment. But it''s


    not a guarantee; I can only try."


    "Alright, do what you need to. If you need anything, tell Raeleigh. He''s in your hands."


    "Alright."


    Louisa turned back to look at Santiago for a while and began searching for treatments.


    Belle held Raeleigh''s hands and asked, "Raeleigh, can he really recover?"


    "I believe he wouldn''t leave without saying a word."


    Belle looked at Raeleigh. "I hope you''re right."


    Belle stayed over the entire day; she even stayed for dinner. It was only then she learned the details of


    Brooklyn''s death.


    "Brooklyn had been wise all his life; I didn''t expect this to be his ending. He left with regrets, didn''t he?"


    "Flynt won''t leave me be no matter what. We can only seek refuge in your ce now," Colston said,


    and Belle replied, "Don''t worry about it. There are plenty of rooms here; you can stay as long as you


    want. I''d like to see if that fellow has the guts to cross our gates."


    After dinner, Belle took a look at Santiago before following Raeleigh out of Fragrance Garden. When


    she arrived at the door, she talked with Raeleigh for a while and then left.


    Raeleigh was about to go back when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around only to be


    stumped by who she saw.


    Jepherson stood a few feet away from her, carrying a bag of fruits in his hand.


    Seeing Raeleigh, Jepherson said, "I came to see Santiago."


    "Come in then."


    Raeleigh walked toward Fragrance Garden, and Jepherson followed right behind.


    When they reached the courtyard, Jepherson paused for a moment and looked around. "Everything


    done?"


    "Yeah."


    Raeleigh wasn''t in the mood to talk.


    Jepherson followed her to Santiago''s room, still carrying the fruits. Entering the door, he saw Colston


    and Louisa standing inside.


    "Mr. Harvey."


    "Never mind me."


    Jepherson put the fruits down and looked at Santiago before turning to Louisa and asked, "How is it?"


    Stumped, Raeleigh was baffled that he knew Louisa was here to treat Santiago when she had never


    told him.


    She didn''t even tell Xanthus about it until they moved in.


    Xanthus entered the room and walked to Raeleigh, staring at Louisa. Everyone seemed to be waiting


    for Louisa''s answer.


    "I can try, but I can''t guarantee he''ll wake up."


    After all, Louisa had never met such a patient, and she could not guarantee what would happen.


    If it worked, he would wake up. But what if he didn''t?


    "Thank you."


    Jepherson thanked everybody and looked at Xanthus. "You''re helping too, aren''t you?"


    "I''ll be with Louisa during this period. After all, this is Santiago." In other words, Xanthus was here for


    Santiago and not him, and he didn''t need his thanks either.


    Jepherson didn''t say more but only directed his gaze at his brother. "I''ll leave the treatment to you


    guys; I''ll take care of my brother personally."


    After some thought, Raeleigh said, "You can stay, and you can take care of him, but you can''t bring


    anyone else with you."


    "Don''t worry. The ce is yours now, and I''m your guest; I''ll do as you say."


    With that, Jepherson left the room only to return a few minutester. The servants had brought his


    luggage over and ced them at the door; he brought it in himself and finished unpacking in no time.


    Raeleigh didn''t expect that Jepherson would move in so quickly and quietly.


    Raeleigh stayed by Louisa''s side the entire time. Louisa put a few acupuncture needles on Santiago to


    test his reaction, only to get no response from him.


    Raeleigh''s nervousness grew, and Louisa reminded, "Rx. You''re pregnant; it won''t do the baby well


    if you''re tense."


    "I''m just rxing his muscles and testing his nervous system. I''ll gradually increase the intensity. I don''t


    know how much he can bear yet, so I don''t dare to put too much pressure on him."


    Raeleigh gasped. "Are you saying he can feel pain?"


    "Yes and no. Some even believe that the dead could feel pain even after they stopped breathing.


    What''s more, he is a vegetable. It''s just that his brain is weakened, but he can still feel pain."


    As Louisa exined, Xanthus added, "It''s amon belief in the medical field. It''s just that the cranial


    nerves die when the person dies, and the person will no longer feel pain."


    "In this case, few people cared about whether the dead still felt pain."


    "When we talk about pain, we''re referring to human nerves."


    "The nerves in our body can survive for another four days even after we die."


    "There are even cases when the hair and nails of the dead would continue to grow after several days


    into their death. This is why there are stories about zombies."
