Chapter 899


    Raeleigh got up from the bed and put her phone under the pillow. Although Deanna had given her a


    new phone, she did not use it and kept it aside. She continued using her own phone.


    For the past few days, every night, Jepherson would send her a text message. It was the weekend.


    Jepherson had mentioned that he went to visit Novalie. Raeleigh was waiting for a text back.


    Raeleigh put down her phone and sat up, taking the water. "Thank you."


    "You''re wee." Zorion pulled a chair and sat face to face with her.


    There were four people in the ward. The other two seemed to be asleep, but in fact, they were all


    feigning it. No one was sleeping. They were just pretending to be asleep.


    Holding the cup, Raeleigh drank the water. Zorion leaned against the wall and asked, "You get text


    messages every day. Who is it?"


    "A friend." Raeleigh took a look at Deanna, who seemed to be sleeping. She would have to turn her


    phone off, or Deanna would find out about it the next day.


    Raeleigh was in a dilemma. Even though she knew that Deanna liked Jepherson, she was still


    entangled with him. She did not know whether Deanna would hate her if such a thing were


    exposed.


    For Raeleigh, it was torture.


    Was Zorion reminding her about a certain thing, by mentioning it deliberately at that time?


    "Your hand will be fine in two days. Let''s go to the hot springs," said Zorion.


    Raeleigh held onto the cup of water. She knew that it was not a malicious invitation from Zorion, but


    it was not offered out of kindness either. Since she was threatened in that fashion, it was definitely


    not goodwill.


    "Okay." Raeleigh had no choice. It was impossible for her to refuse.


    After drinking, Raeleigh set the cup aside. Then, shey on the bed. Zorion stood upright and bent


    down to cover Raeleigh with the quilt. The words which left Raeleigh were unnatural for her. "I don''t


    need your help. My hand has almost recovered. Thank you for your care."


    "I hope you get it in your head that I regard you as someone special." Zorion snatched his hand


    away and went back to his bed. He got out his phone and looked at it while lying on the bed. He


    sent a text message to Raeleigh. Raeleigh''s cell phone rang, and she got out her phone too.


    Although she thought it was Jepherson, she could not rule out the possibility that it was Zorion. She


    opened the phone and found that it was indeed a text from Zorion.


    "Stop texting Jepherson every night. I don''t like it." Though it was just a text message, Zorion''s


    overbearing tone betrayed what he was about to do. Raeleigh thought about it for a while and


    replied to the text, "It''s not what you think. Jepherson and I will clear things up, but it''s not because


    of you."


    "Do you want me to get up from the bed now?" Zorion replied. Raeleigh looked at him. He was also


    looking at her. Although it was dark in the ward, there was moonlight outside the window, bright


    enough for her to see his expression.


    Raeleigh read the text and typed, "You''re pushing it. I didn''t offend you. I told you it was a


    misunderstanding."


    Zorion received the text. He then got up and walked towards Raeleigh. He lowered his head to kiss


    her, making her tense up with fear. Her phone nearly fell to the ground.


    Zorion left her bedside and watched her. Raeleigh stared at him wide- eyed, as if she could not


    process what had just happened.


    "Are you... insane? How could you do that to me?" Raeleigh muttered in a trembling voice. Deanna


    opened her eyes wide and turned around, looking at Zorion.


    Scarlette was scared out of her wits. If Jepherson knew about thister, would he kill her?


    Scarlette shifted in her bed. Raeleigh turned slowly to look at the two who were eavesdropping,


    then faced Zorion and raised her hands to hit him. Zorion gripped her hands and warned, "Don''t do


    it again. If you don''t listen to me, the oue will only worsen. I can''t control what I''ll do. You


    should cooperate with me."


    "Lunatic." Raeleigh pushed Zorion away forcefully, got up and went to the bathroom with her phone.


    She squatted down inside.


    Zorion walked to the door of the washroom and waited for her. He knocked on the door and asked,


    "Are you not feeling well? I''m going in."


    Zorion twisted the door lock. It was then that Scarlette turned on the light in the room. She rubbed


    her eyes as she got out of the bed and walked toward the bathroom, looking at Zorion there. "Are


    you going to the bathroom, too?"


    Zorionughed out loud. "No, I''m waiting for Raeleigh. She''s inside."


    Scarlette''s heart was pounding wildly in her chest.


    She did not even dare to look directly into Zorion''s eyes. His eyes were even more terrifying than


    Jepherson''s.


    "Raeleigh is inside?" Scarlette looked back at Raeleigh''s bed. Then she turned back and said, while


    looking at Zorion, "Raeleigh."


    "I''ming out." Raeleigh opened the door from the inside. Seeing Raeleigh walk out, Scarlette


    immediately rushed in and mumbled, "Me first."


    The door closed, and Scarlette hurriedly patted her chest. It was too terrifying!


    Raeleigh took a look at Zorion. It was obvious that he had already washed his face.


    "It''s gettingte. Give me your phone." Zorion reached out. Raeleigh put the phone behind her and


    raised her head to stare at him. "I''m waiting for my grandmother''s call. Don''t be like this."


    Zorion retracted his hand and said, "Rest early."


    Zorion went back to his bed to lie down. When Scarlette came out of the bathroom, Raeleigh was


    already lying down. Deanna was facing elsewhere, not daring to interrupt Zorion''s pursuit of


    Raeleigh.


    Even though it was a bit hard to understand, Deanna was still quite happy. After all, there was some


    progress.

    Scarlette returned to her bed andy down. "Raeleigh, my heartbeat is erratic. Do you think that


    there''s a problem with my heart?"


    Raeleigh had shut her eyes and was about to fall asleep. She pried her eyes open and turned to


    Scarlette. "Are you really not feeling well?"


    Raeleigh was about to get up as she saw Scarlette nodding. Then, Scarlette added, "I''m just a little


    bit scared. Why don''t youe over and sleep with me?"


    Raeleigh sat up, got out of the bed, walked toward Scarlette''s bed.


    That time, Scarlette held onto Raeleigh''s waist as theyy down. As they were both rather slim girls,


    the bed was enough to amodate both of them. It was not a tight squeeze at all.


    Raeleigh knew that Scarlette was helping her, so she turned to hug Scarlette. Scarlette ced her


    arms around Raeleigh, so Raeleigh was in her embrace. That way, no one would notice that she


    was texting on her phone.


    Deanna sat up in a daze. She rubbed her eyes, turned back and looked at Zorion pitifully. "Zorion..."


    Her tone was soft. It seemed that Deanna was very aggrieved.


    Zorion looked at Deanna. "Yes?"


    "Look at Scarlette. What is she doing? I also want to sleep with Raeleigh." Deanna was secretly


    sulking. It was unfair that Scarlette was able to hug Raeleigh to sleep. It should be Zorion instead!


    Scarlette chimed in, "I''m scared I can''t sleep."


    "Go to sleep." Zorion got out of bed too. He tucked Deanna back in, covering her with the quilt. He


    patted her through the quilt. Deanna looked at her Zorion with sufferance. Zorion continued patting


    her and coaxed, "Go to sleep."


    Deanna held Zorion''s other hand and closed her eyes to sleep.


    Scarlette let out a weak breath. God! Save her!
