Chapter 1627 Feed the Dogs


    Thinking of Santiago, Raeleigh slowly averted her gaze. Jepherson asked her, "Are you worried?"


    Raeleigh picked up a piece of garment and draped it over him. Their height difference was so striking,


    that Raeleigh had to lift herself onto her toes to be able to properly wrapped the garment around him


    "It may be warm outside, but you can''t be careless."


    Raeleigh sat back down, and yet Jepherson stood where he was, behind her with his hands sped


    behind his back.


    Amidst the garden these two figures were, during a season where flowers bloomed in bursts of colors,


    akin to a painting brought to life.


    Yet no one knew what had happened between them, nor why it had be the way it was now?


    Louisa came out from the couple''s room and stood at the doorway, her eyes on these two people.


    Louisa didn''t know what was going on with Raeleigh. She only felt that the Raeleigh before her now


    was really lonely.


    Everyone stayed in the yard until five to six o''clock in the afternoon, when Louisa suddenly had


    abdominal pains. They hurried to the hospital, tagged along by Raeleigh who took the initiative to invite


    Serra, who used to work for Santiago, and assigned her the role of caretaker to Louisa.


    The rest, together with Raeleigh, were ill at ease throughout the delivery, which helped to calm Serra a


    little.


    Louisa sessfully gave birth to a baby girl, whose gender everyone already knew, without any


    mishap.


    Raeleigh apanied Louisa in the hospital for two days. After that, once Louisa was given a clean


    bill of health, she returned to the Harvey family and settled down.


    "In a little while, I''ll be heading out to see Jacky."


    Jepherson was now fine and back at work. The first thing he did was not to return to thepany, but


    to go and visit Jacky.


    Raeleigh stood in the room and asked, "Are you going there to retrieve that person?"


    Jepherson''s gaze was deep and mysterious. "If I am, what would you think?"


    Raeleigh was silent for a moment, "Our standpoints are different. If it were my true thoughts, I hope that


    Jacky will take care of it. However, in terms of justice, if Jacky took care of this matter, it would be


    equivalent to digging his own grave.


    If you yourself couldn''t deal with the Doyle family, then Jacky would stand a lesser chance going


    against them.


    Whatsmore, you''re already the Doyle family''s enemy, you don''t have much care for this."


    Raeleigh''s words made Jepherson''s mouth twitch. "Why didn''t you mention that my intention was to


    save her?"


    Raeleigh asked back, "Are you?"


    He didn''t answer. He gazed at Raeleigh with his deep-set eyes that carried a faint trace of tenderness.


    Raeleigh turned away and walked towards the door, "I am going to change my clothes."


    Jepherson''s body turned, his gaze trained on her retreating figure. Once she was out of his line of


    sight, he turned back around to study the personid out on the bed.


    The most poisonous thing in this world was hatred. Jepherson gritted his teeth. How could he simply let


    go of the person who had harmed Santiago?


    Raeleigh changed her clothes and went out together with Jepherson.


    But when they arrived at the hospital, they found out that Jacky had already been discharged and


    returned to Waverly Vige. They had missed him by just a few seconds.


    Jepherson sent someone to the vige but when they reached the vige borders, none of them could


    go in.


    Raeleigh got out of the car in time to hear someone say, "Mr. Harvey, please go back. Jacky has said


    that he can''t do it and will not agree."


    The other party beared down on them with menace. They were unwilling to hand over the person to


    Jepherson, which already made their position clear.


    Jepherson looked at Raeleigh and said, "Raeleigh, you go."


    Raeleigh nodded. She looked over at Jared. "Let Jared apany me inside."


    "Jared, go with her."


    "As you wish."


    Jared followed Raeleigh into the vige. She was in no hurry to get in this time, but she was still quite


    surprised when she saw Ste.


    Ste was locked up in a dog cage, with her hair disheveled and her clothes unkempt.


    When Ste caught sight of her, she lunged towards Raeleigh with a roar of fury, as if she had done


    something treacherous for her to end up that way.


    Raeleigh stood in ce for a bit before she headed in her direction. She stopped a foot away from the


    cage and scrutinized her closely.


    "You can walk?"


    Steughed in contempt, "You think I''m unable to?"


    A thought came to light in her mind and Raeleigh suddenly asked, "You did it intentionally?"


    Steughed again, "You are the only ones who thought that my legs were really broken. I just wanted


    an opportunity to cut myself away from Stuart while he''s injured, but who knew that everyone of you


    with your pig brains actually believed it!."


    Raeleigh wasn''t happy when she heard this, but neither was she sad over the situation with Stuart.


    Many things had happened since then, she no longer ached over the past.


    Instead, she directed her gaze at Ste and said, "You reaped what you sow. These words are most


    suitable for you."


    Raeleigh turned around and looked at the crowd that was in the middle of preparing a funeral.


    Someone in the group wailed out their grief, an urn of cremated ashes in their embrace. Raeleigh


    looked down at her stomach and recalled from an elderly of Waverly Vige that pregnant women could


    not attend a burial as it would bring bad luck to the child.


    But then she thought of Logan, so Raeleigh slipped into the crowd of people that came to attend the


    funeral.


    It had already been two months and Jacky had almost fully recovered.


    Raeleigh stayed by Jacky''s side, and the people under Jacky intentionally made way for her in light of


    her well-being.


    Jacky wore an all ck ensemble. From top to toe, inside and out, it was as dark as the darkness


    found in the deepest gorge. The type of darkness that was unable to be prated by normal sight


    alone and sent chills down the spine.


    The only ssh of color to break the darkness was a white belt around his waist.


    Raeleigh murmured, "I''m sorry for your loss."


    Jacky continued to walk ahead as if he hadn''t seen her but this did not deter her. She continued to


    follow by his side.


    When they arrived at the burial site, Raeleigh stopped and watched as Jacky took the urn and ced it


    into the grave with his own hands. He then tossed a handful of dirt into the grave.


    Harvey knelt on the ground with heaving, agonized sobs. The people around them watched as his


    figure bent down in grief and secretly cried along with him.


    After Logan''s burial had beenpleted, Raeleigh calmly looked towards Jacky.


    Jacky ordered his men to leave while he remained in front of Logan''s tomb, his eyes on Harvey who


    was about to cry to the point of passing out.


    Raeleigh watched this scene in front and suddenly felt aggrieved.


    However, Jacky did not cry, neither did he shed a tear.


    Raeleigh stood there for a while and seized the opportunity to say, "I was called here by Jepherson.


    And I think you know why."


    Jackyughed mirthlessly, "I already said that I won''t give that person to him, did he already forget?"


    "Being an enemy of the Doyle family will not benefit you. Even if the Doyle family wants to punish


    Ste, they won''t allow you to interfere."

    "Raeleigh..."


    Jacky spoke slowly. Raeleigh raised her head and looked at Jacky''s cold, sharp face, "Mm."


    "What is our rtionship with each other?"


    Raeleigh answered, "We''re friends."


    "I don''t have many friends, Santiago is my friend. I don''t have any brothers, Logan is my brother. I don''t


    have a confidante, you are my confidante."


    Jacky turned to peer at her as she gave it some thought, "You..."


    "Ste hurt Santiago and even had Logan killed. She also tried to attack you..."


    Raeleigh looked at Logan''s tombstone, a little hesitant. "I understand. Do what you have to do. I won''t


    interfere." she relented.


    "Thank you!"


    Jacky immediately strode off, a passed out Harvey left behind.


    Once Raeleigh noticed that everyone had left, she asked Jared to carry Harvey to the hospital.


    Raeleigh hadn''te back for close to three months. The hospital had been renovated as well as


    updated since.


    Raeleigh came back amidst the final stages of the renovations, just to admit Harvey into the hospital.


    Just as Harvey wasid out on the hospital bed, Raeleigh also heard wind of the fact that Jacky was


    going to deal with Ste.


    Raeleigh came out of the hospital, and watched the hustle and bustle of passersby around the area.


    She did not join the crowd, just stood by the entrance of the hospital lost in thought.


    "Jared, make a call for me."


    Jared called and informed Jepherson. He immediately forced his way inside, but by then all that was


    left was a puddle of blood on the ground. Jacky sat on a chair, surrounded by a group of people. More


    than a dozen vicious looking dogs wandered around, and each one of them licked the ground.
