Chapter 1613 Dispute


    Raeleigh walked a distance away from Fragrance Garden to call Callis. It didn''t take long before he


    answered. Knowing he was mute, Raeleigh said, "Let''s text."


    With that, she hung up and began texting Callis as she sat on a bench outside of Fragrance Garden.


    Raeleigh said, "I went to the hospital a couple of days ago for a pregnancy check-up and met a


    pregnantdy who was about my age. I talked to her for a bit."


    "How''s your baby?" Callis asked. She smiled at his question and replied, "The baby''s doing very well."


    Raeleigh then continued to chat with Callis.


    "Thedy said she was sick."


    Raeleigh said nothing more after that. Callis asked what sickness thedy had, but she said she had


    forgotten.


    "Let''s talk about something else. Are you still in Waverly Vige?"


    Callis said he had left and was searching for a ce. He''s nning on doing something.


    "That''s good. Take care of yourself."


    ...


    She only ended their chat when it was time for dinner. She went to check on Santiago again after


    in advance.

    Jepherson was reading something on his phone when Raeleigh entered, and he locked it after she


    came in.


    "I came to check on Santiago. Louisa wille over after dinner."


    "Go ahead. I''m going to take a bath."


    With that, he made his way to the bathroom while Raeleigh went to sit down. When Jepherson reached


    the bathroom door, he turned back around to retrieve his phone. She looked up at him, feeling strange


    as she didn''t have the bad habit of looking into other people''s phones.


    Closing the bathroom door, Jepherson ced his phone in the cab by the bathroom door, took off


    his clothes, and stepped into the bath. Raeleigh subtly kept track of the time, worried because he had


    been in the bathroom for two, three hours.


    But then again, what could happen to a man like him?


    In the end, she still went to knock on the bathroom door.


    "I''ll be out," Jepherson said as he dried his hair. He then put on his bathrobe before emerging from the


    bathroom.


    Raeleigh stood at the door and noticed he looked a little pale.


    It was as if he had lost ayer of skin.


    "It''s time for dinner."


    With that, Raeleigh left the room, giving Jepherson the space to change.


    After dinner, Raeleigh and the others made their way to Santiago''s room. Louisa had her acupuncture


    needles ready. After disinfecting them, she brought them over to Santiago''s side and began sticking the


    needles between his nails and the nail beds. Raeleigh was a little nervous as it probably hurt a lot.


    However, after two needles, Santiago still didn''t react to the treatment.


    Louisa was beginning to sweat by then. She gently put down Santiago''s hand and said, "I''m not sure


    whether it''ll work; we can only wait and see."


    Raeleigh also knew Louisa had tried her best.


    "Thank you, Louisa. Get some rest after you''re done here."


    Raeleigh walked over to Santiago. She believed he would wake up eventually.


    Louisa waited for a while before she took the needles out of Santiago and left with Colston. Raeleigh


    sat by the side and apanied Santiago for a few more minutes before leaving; after all, it was not


    her room. She felt a little awkward being alone in the same room as Jepherson, although Santiago was


    also technically in the room.


    Raeleigh got up and tucked Santiago in. In actuality, she sometimes felt she was doing the


    unnecessary as Jepherson would do it even if she weren''t around, but she couldn''t help herself.


    "Good night."


    Raeleigh left the room and headed out. After feeling the breeze, she was more awake.


    Raeleigh took off her sses and made her way back to her room based solely on her memory. She


    was sure she could do it.


    In fact, Raeleigh didn''t need her sses if she only stayed in the vicinity. However, she knew all too


    well that some people wouldn''t let her have her peace and quiet.


    After making herselffortable in her room, Raeleigh put on her sses and picked up a book to


    read.


    A few momentster, Xanthus knocked on the door, bringing her a bowl of soup.


    Raeleigh caught the waft of the soup and lifted her head.  Xanthus gave it to her and said, "Drink it


    while it''s hot; it''s good for your health."


    Raeleigh did as she was told, but it didn''t take long for her to feel slumberous.


    Raeleigh began suspecting if the soup was spiked as she didn''t feel sleepy when she was reading and


    even more awake when she was making notes.


    However...


    As soon as she fell asleep, Xanthus picked her up and took her out the door.


    Just as he opened the door, Louisa and Colston appeared. Louisa put a throw on Raeleigh. It was


    apparent they were in on this.


    The servants didn''t look too good when they saw Raeleigh being carried out and wondered what was


    happening.


    Then, one of the servants immediately went to inform Jepherson.


    Jepherson felt very rxed after soaking in the bath for a couple of hours earlier. When the servants


    went to inform him, he was already lying down and preparing to sleep. When he heard a knock on the


    door, he got out of bed, put on his clothes, and opened the door. Jepherson glumed when he answered


    the door, "What is it?"


    "Dr. Osteen has taken Miss Raeleigh away. We didn''t dare stop him, but it seems that Miss Raeleigh


    was fast asleep."


    "She''s asleep?" Jepherson''s face sunk as anger welled up in his chest. Xanthus couldn''t do that even if


    he was her brother.


    The servant then added, "She seems to be unconscious."


    "Unconscious?"


    Hearing that, Jepherson strode out hurriedly. The servant was afraid that he might have


    misunderstood, so she caught up to him and said, "We saw Dr. Osteen bringing a bowl of soup into


    Miss Raeleigh''s room. Not long after, he came out carrying Miss Raeleigh."


    "What?"


    Anger rose in Jepherson like a tide. The servant was so frightened that she retreated.


    It had nothing to do with them!


    Jepherson nced at the servant before heading out the door to stop Xanthus.


    "Get out of my way."


    Xanthus wanted to take Raeleigh to the hospital for a check-up. He couldn''t rest until he knew what


    was going on with Raeleigh.


    Jepherson stood in their way, looking grim, his gaze even more fierce.


    He nced at Colston and Louisa. "You two go back in. I need to talk to Xanthus."


    Since Raeleigh had fallen asleep, Jepherson did not want to disturb her. He also believed Xanthus


    would not harm his sister. It was only a little bit of drug; he trusted that he knew what he was doing.


    "I''m done talking. Raeleigh needs to seek treatment immediately. She''s beginning to show signs of


    visual impairment; if it continues, the results will be unimaginable."


    "Have you ever thought about Raeleigh? You''ll hurt her if you do this. I''m sure you''re aware of how


    stubborn she is."


    "I don''t care; I need to save her."


    "I do too, but not like this. Raeleigh wants to keep the baby; she needs time."


    "Get out of the way. I''m done listening to you." Xanthus insisted on leaving, but Jepherson wouldn''t let


    him, and the two locked horns until Belle and Calvin arrived.
