Chapter 1626 Time to Go


    By the time Raeleigh went to see Jacky, he was able to sit up from his bed. His body was wrapped in


    bandages, just like Jepherson, and for a moment Raeleigh felt that they were kindred spirits.


    Nevertheless, she hadn''t expected it when Ste was found, how ignorant she was on the reason why


    Jacky was injured in the first ce.


    Raeleigh sat down and looked at him in concern, "Are you feeling better?"


    Jacky''s thoughtful look made him seem as if he had fallen into a doze. Deanna took care of him all this


    while, to the point where she prioritized him more than her own child. If anyone dared to utter a single


    protest, she would get confrontational with them until no one dared to bother her any longer. It was only


    when Raeleigh arrived that Deanna had rxed and returned slowly to her usual self.


    "Jacky, Raeleigh is talking to you."


    Deanna saw that Jacky had not replied and took the initiative to speak to him. Jacky looked at her and


    grasped her hand, before he looked towards Raeleigh, "I''m much better. Thank you foring to see


    me."


    Zorion sat to the side, here in his job scope as a specialized caretaker.

    "How did you end up like this?" Raeleigh questioned.


    "It''s my personal matters, it''s best that I don''t say."


    In the end, Jacky still chose to keep his silence. It wasn''t appropriate for Raeleigh to probe any further


    and even though she heard snippets about the matter with Logan, she knew nothing else.


    Raeleigh sat there a while before she stood up. She had got what she came for.


    However, just as Raeleigh was about to leave, Jacky called out to her. When she turned to look at him,


    he told her, "Tell Jepherson that I''ve found that person but wouldn''t be able to hand them over to him."


    Raeleigh regarded Jacky with an intent look, "If you have a grudge against the Doyle Family over this


    incident, I''m afraid the road ahead for you will not be easy."


    Jacky returned her gaze with his own. A cold light shed within his deep-set eyes and his mouth


    curled at the corners into a derisive smile. "Since I''ve already borne a grudge, I''m not going to let the


    Doyle family off the hook. A rotten apple will spoil the whole barrel. Even if the Doyle family doesn''t


    It was useless for Raeleigh to say anything more about the subject. Then a thought came to her and


    she asked, "Are you sure that the one you are looking for is Ste?"


    "I will probe further on this before taking actions, you can rest assured."


    Raeleigh contemted for but a moment. "I will keep it in mind."


    She finally turned around and left the room just as Jacky''s breathing became heavy from the pain his


    body was going through.


    Zorion kept an eye on Jacky''s condition but had yet to say a word.


    Deanna helped to shift Jacky down onto the bed. Although his gaze was cold, the hand that was still


    grasped over Deanna''s was warm.


    At this moment, Zorion had a feeling that things were about to change.


    Raeleigh left and went straight back to the Harvey family. Ste had been arrested, which made


    Raeleigh feel a little at ease. Now all that needed to be done was confirm whether Ste was truly


    Ste.


    Raeleigh took in her surroundings on her way back, her eyes shut in thought from time to time.


    The journey back was very peaceful without any surprise encounters. That meant that Ste was really


    caught by Jacky after all.


    Once back at the Harvey Family, Raeleigh went to see Jepherson. She told him everything; from the


    fact that Ste had been caught, to Jacky''s heavily injured state, the severe losses and how he refused


    to hand over Ste to Jepherson.


    Jepherson gazed at Raeleigh without saying a word. For a while he sat there, then moved to lie down.


    Then he closed his eyes to rest.


    Raeleigh walked over and sat beside him. People had feelings, especially people like Jepherson whose


    life was saved by Ste.


    Childhood memories had the deepest impact in one''s life, where as a child he had yet to be touched by


    the adult''s deceitful scheming ways. It was normal that he valued these feelings so much.


    Raeleigh said nothing this time and just sat by his side.


    For a length of time, everything outside was in turmoil. The people of Capital City constantly whispered


    underneath their breaths on whether Jepherson was really dead and how the Harvey Family''s


    if all of this wasn''t worth mentioning. His cid countenance, together with the time they spent with


    each other, every single moment was engraved in Raeleigh''s heart. It made her realize that the her


    thenpared to the her now, truly paled inparison with each other.


    Jared came over every day with some matters to report. During Jepherson''s recuperation period,


    Raeleigh saw no more than four people at most; Xanthus and Louisa among them, Jared included.


    But Jared''s face was stone cold, with a mouth that wielded words like des and he never gave any


    courtesy towards Raeleigh.


    Even so she didn''t mind this one bit, how he acted was his own business.


    The world will still turn, unaffected by the turmoil of men. What should be done next depended on the


    strength of one''s willpower.


    On that day, Raeleigh sat there with a book in hand when she had a sh of inspiration. She stood up


    and proceeded to design a unique car.


    Jared, who just so happened to be in the same room, nced over.


    Raeleigh hesitated a little at thest few strokes when Jared called her out, "You''re already at the end,


    why don''t you hurry up and finish it?"


    Raeleigh was then able to put the pencil to paper and sketched out the finishing touches. She turned


    around and nced at Jared in silence.


    Raeleigh had changed again into another pair of sses. Her fair face, paired with the thin frame of her


    sses, brought out the calm and refined air about her.


    Raeleigh put her hand down and turned once more to where Jepherson had been watching them the


    whole time. "You may leave," he said.


    Jared turned and did just that. Once the door was closed behind him, Raeleigh started to tidy up her


    design sketches.


    Jepherson''s gaze fell on Raeleigh''s abdomen, who had been pregnant for more than three months.


    Although it wasn''t prominent, he could tell that it was different from before.  A pregnant woman''s way of


    walking, in particr, was somewhat unique and unlike how anyone else normally walked.


    The corners of Jepherson''s mouth curled in self-derision. He couldn''t keep his own child, yet it was a


    good thing in his heart and he actually could look forward to the child''s birth.


    By the time Raeleigh tidied everything up, it was already two o''clock. Louisa dropped by again that day


    with her own protruding abdomen.


    "This will be myst visit this month. I''ll be giving birth soon." Louisa''s belly was indeed extremelyrge,


    with the estimated delivery time predicted to be in the next few days.


    Raeleigh stood by her side and said, "Sorry to have troubled you during this time, you''re pregnant and


    yet have to help me.


    "You don''t need to be so polite with me. Besides, I''m grateful that the Harvey family had taken us in."


    "..."


    Raeleigh said nothing. Louisa took the IV drip needle out from Santiago''s hand and put it in a sterilized


    bottle that contained disinfection alcohol.


    Raeleigh scrutinized the needle and then looked at Santiago lying on the bed, unable to say a word.


    It had been so long, yet he still refused to wake up. How long will it take?


    Did she really have to wait for a lifetime?


    Raeleigh stared at Jepherson who was lying in bed as well and turned to head outside


    A warm gust of wind blew through the open door.


    Raeleigh stood at the entrance and gazed at the blooming flowers in the Fragrance Garden. The


    weather at present was still warm. It had reached the highest point in their lives, why was he still not


    awake?


    There were many people standing in Fragrance Garden. When they noticed Raeleigh by the door, they


    gave her a smile in greeting.


    She returned their smiles and afterward found a quiet ce to sit.


    She wasn''t aware as to when Jepherson had came out, only when someone had shouted out a


    greeting did she realize that he was right behind her


    Raeleigh turned to look at him. He stood behind her in his dark purple pajamas as if nothing had


    happened. It was also an indication that it was time for her to leave.
