Chapter 1189


    "Scarlette, calm down. I''ll call and ask if there''s any updates. You can save your worries forter if


    something has happened to her."


    Raeleigh called Zorion to inquire about Deanna. Zorion ignored her and hung up immediately.


    When she heard the beeping sound on the phone, Raeleigh understood that he was implying that


    she was being too nosy. In other words, it indicated that Deanna was safe and sound.


    "Deanna is fine." Raeleigh''s eyesnded on Scarlette, who was on tenterhooks. She was surprised


    to hear what she had said.


    "What did he say on the phone?" Scarlette asked. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "Nothing. The


    fact that he did not say a word meant that she was alright."


    To Scarlette, her words somehow made sense but she wanted more reassurance. She got up and


    went to Deanna''s house to look for her.


    After waiting for a long time, she finally saw Deanne walking out of the vi with a new phone in her


    hand.


    "Deanna, why didn''t you tell me that you are back?


    You''ve scared me out of my wits!" Scarlette stood at the door unhappily. That was her first time


    going to someone''s house to ensure their safety. She felt very silly for doing this.


    Deanna looked around. "Scarlette, hurry and get Raeleigh to find a way to get me out of here. I''ve


    been grounded by my brother."


    Scarlette was rather dubious about her idea. If she was allowed to roam around freely, then nobody


    could guarantee her safety.


    Scarlette thought to herself, "Don''t even think about it."


    "I will let Raeleigh know about it right now so that she cane up with a solution to save you."


    However, she didn''t mention it to Raeleigh in reality. It wasn''t until Deanna called Raeleigh that she


    knew about it.


    She put her phone away and did not ask Scarlette regarding the matter as she too thought that they


    should not meddle in this matter.


    Zorion had his own way of taking care of problems. He disliked intervention by others.


    Scarlette remained silent while she waited for Raeleigh to ask her about it. However, Raeleigh


    never once spoke about the matter.


    As a result, Scarlette started to feel restless and decided to approach Raeleigh herself.


    "Don''t you want to ask me something?" Scarlette initiated the question. Raeleigh looked at her.


    "Zorion will handle Deanna''s affair, we should stay out of their business."


    Scarlette was at a loss for words. "Raeleigh, is there something you know?"


    "I don''t know anything." Raeleigh turned her face and gazed at Cynthia, who had note around


    yet. The doctor said that she should regain her consciousness the day before, but she was still


    asleep until that day.


    Raeleigh was not in the mood to inquire about other matters. She felt guilty about Cynthia''s


    ident. If she had not moved out of the house the previous day, then Cynthia might not have


    ended up like this.


    Cynthia must have known something before the ident happened. That was why she didn''t inform


    Santiago about her departure, and she even told Scarlette to follow Raeleigh.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Cynthia was an intelligent woman. She understood Scarlette''s temperament very well, and she was


    aware that Scarlette would furtively stalk Raeleigh without showing herself. That way, Scarlette


    would buy her some time without knowing the truth. Cynthia didn''t need too much time. An hour


    would probably suffice.


    Raeleigh furrowed her brow. Cynthia did all this with the determination to die. If that was the case,


    then she would not regain consciousness even if her body had recovered.


    If a person had given up on the will to live, then it would be impossible for the person to be brought


    back to life no matter how advanced the treatment was.


    Raeleigh looked at her from the outside before standing up. "I want to go in and see her."


    She said to Santiago. Only then did Santiago open his eyes and take a look at her. He didn''t say


    anything, which she took as tacit permission.


    Then, Raeleigh followed the doctor and went to the disinfecting room to disinfect herself of germs


    and put on a protective suit before she entered the intensive care unit.


    After entering it, she sat down beside Cynthia and held her hand.


    "I know you can hear what I''m saying. I only want to tell you that when a person is not even afraid of


    death, what''s there to be scared of when he or she is alive? If you die, then you will forget the


    person you want to remember. There will be nothing left."


    Then, Raeleigh withdrew her hands, ced Cynthia''s hand back beside her, and stood up.


    She gazed at Cynthia momentarily before she came out of the ICU. Just as she left, Cynthia slowly


    opened her eyes. Santiago, who had been sitting outside with his eyes fixed at Cynthia saw her


    open her eyes, and look in his direction. In response to that, he stood up and headed for the door of


    the ICU. Raeleigh, who just got out, bumped into him and watched him walk inside.


    Raeleigh turned around to look. Santiago walked in and stopped in front of Cynthia before cing


    his hand on her face.


    It appeared like they were having a conversation, and Cynthia couldn''t help but to sob. From


    Raeleigh''s point of view, she must have been filled with regret.


    "Raeleigh, you are amazing." Scarlette got up and approached Raeleigh. She threw a nce at her


    without uttering a word and continued staring into the ICU. Their rtionship was perhaps


    iprehensible by many people who had never experienced hardship in their rtionship. To


    them, even if they are deprived of all the materialistic items, they couldn''t be deprived of each other


    because of the intimacy they shared with each other.


    "Let''s take a rest. He mighte out in a while." As Raeleigh spoke, she moved towards one side


    and sat down while gazing into the ICU.


    She stared nkly and Scarlette gave her a


    strange look.


    "Raeleigh, are you into Mr. Santiago?" Cynthia was ill, and her boyfriend was talking to her inside.


    She wondered why Raeleigh was ogling at him with rapt attention?


    Raeleigh shot daggers at her. "When you''re quiet, you''re very lovable. When you speak, you''re


    so..."


    "What?" Scarlette raised her eyebrow, but Raeleigh did not answer. Instead, she stared nkly at


    the lovebirds who were in the ICU. Many couples may not love each other initially but they ended up


    happier than most people.


    While Scarlette bbered next to her, Raeleigh focused her attention on the ICU. Scarlette finally


    stopped talking when she noticed that Raeleigh was not paying attention to her. Seeing as Santiago


    was still inside the room, she quickly told her, "Raeleigh, I am leaving. Take care of yourself."


    Only then did Raeleigh turn around and gape at Scarlette. She then lowered her head slightly and


    continued, "I can''t stay here. I cannot stay with Hadrian."


    Raeleigh knitted her brow. "Hadrian likes you."


    "So what? He likes himself more. I''m just a toy in the room. You will never understand," she said


    with a helpless look on her face, and Raeleigh remained silent. She only had a simple thought.


    Since Scarlette had made up her mind, the only thing she could do was to support her. Yet,


    Raeleigh couldn''t bring herself to wish her good luck for the next chapter in her life.


    The choice was in Scarlette''s hands. She had to decide her own fate.


    Therefore, Raeleigh neither begged for her to stay, nor could she wish her all the best.


    At the thought of Hadrian''s aggressiveness, Raeleigh wondered what he would do when he found


    out that Scarlette had left.
