Chapter 1190


    Scarlette neither told anybody that she was leaving, nor did she pack her clothes. She simply


    bought a flight ticket and was ready to disappear off the face of the Earth.


    Raeleigh saw her off at the airport, and she wept for a while. When it was time to board the ne,


    she turned around and left without any hesitation.


    Raeleigh stood still as she watched her leave. When she turned around, Jepherson and Stuart


    came into her sight and they walked up to her. Jepherson raised his head and looked around. His


    face fell when he realized she was there alone. He asked coldly, "Why are you out by yourself?


    What are you doing here?"


    Sweat formed on Stuart''s forehead. It seemed to him that Jepherson was about to blow a fuse.


    Looking at his exasperated expression, Raeleigh didn''t bother to exin herself. To her, they were


    strangers and had nothing to do with each other anymore since they had broken up.


    Hence, there was no need for her to exin herself. She didn''t want to exin either.


    She stared at Jepherson for a few seconds before saying, "I''m sorry, Mr. Richards. I have other


    things


    to do."


    After that, she sidestepped him and headed for the exit of the airport. Her indifferent attitude caused


    Jepherson to reel from shock. He turned around and gazed after her, who had already walked to the


    exit.


    Stuart held his breath. Raeleigh''s behavior was beyond Jepherson''s expectation. It seemed like he


    was going to have a hard time coaxing her.


    There was amon saying that people should get over a breakup and move on instead of


    dwelling on it or going back to it. Raeleigh''s attitude suggested that she held such a view.


    Jepherson looked at Raeleigh with a grim face. He then instructed Stuart, "Investigate what is going


    _ __ H on.


    Stuart was baffled for a moment before he asked, "Mr. Jepherson, aren''t we going abroad?"


    "No, I''ve changed my mind."


    Jepherson gnashed his teeth as he fixed his gaze on the airport exit.


    He wondered where she was going, and what she was doing at the airport.


    Stuart initially nned to remind him that they shouldn''t defer the decision to go abroad, but he


    chickened out when he saw Jepherson''s deepening frown.


    When she walked out of the airport, Raeleigh hailed a cab to go back. The driver asked her, "Is the


    car behind us following you?"


    She looked back to find that there was indeed a luxury car that was following them.


    "I don''t recognize it." Raeleigh turned around, and her eyes strayed to the driver. Deep lines were


    seen between his eyebrows as he frowned and wondered. "That''s weird. It seems like the Richards


    family''s car. Why are they following us?"


    The driver was distressed. He started to wonder if they were taking revenge on him because he


    might have unintentionally snatched their parking slot when he was waiting for customers at the


    airport.


    On second thought, he found it illogical since he had never heard of the Richards family bullying


    mere drivers like him.


    Through the rearview mirror, the driver stole a nce at Raeleigh, who was unfazed. She seemed


    somewhat familiar to him.


    The driver immediately guessed that the car that was following them must have been rted to her


    but she was unwilling to admit it. All he needed to do was just to drive her to her destination. He


    believed that the Richards family car would not cause further trouble to him.


    The driver collected the payment at the destination. Not only did he not ask for any tips, but he also


    refused to take the full amount and instead rounded off the charge down to the nearest tenth.


    Raeleigh stood outside the car and expressed her thanks. After that, she paid the driver and went


    into the hospital.


    Jepherson''s car was parked at the opposite side of the hospital, and he looked in the direction


    where Raeleigh was heading.


    "Why was Raeleigh alone?" There was a note of displeasure in Jepherson''s voice, although he


    sounded nonchnt. Stuart had worked for him for many years, and he had never seen him


    behaving as calm as he was then when he was in a fit of temper.


    "I''ll check it out right away." Stuart opened the car door and got out in a hurry, as though he was


    afraid that he couldn''t execute his order in time.


    After he got out of the car, Stuart began to call Scarlette. He wanted to ask for her whereabouts.


    However, he couldn''t get through, and he wondered where she went.


    Stuart kept his phone and entered the hospital. Shortly after he went upstairs, he saw Raeleigh,


    who was sitting outside of the intensive care unit, and Santiago, who was apanying Cynthia in


    the unit.


    Raeleigh stared at him without saying a word. Stuart hurriedly asked, "I''m looking for Scarlette.


    Madam Raeleigh, do you know where she is?"


    Raeleigh''s eyes were fixed on him, but she was not in the mood of talking to him at all. He clearly


    knew his intention ofing here. Looking for Scarlette was definitely not his primary purpose.


    Raeleigh gazed at him momentarily. She did not correct his way of addressing her. Instead, she


    said, "Scarlette said that she was not feeling well. So, she went back to rest first."


    "Is that so? Then, I shall take my leave," Stuart replied with a smile. He nced into the unit before


    he turned around and left hastily.


    Once he came out, he called Serra immediately to ask her if she had seen Scarlette. Serra shook


    her head and said that Scarlette had not returned since she left the house.


    Stuart put away his phone and went outside. He got into the car and told Jepherson, "Scarlette is


    missing. Perhaps, she had left."


    Jepherson looked up at Stuart, and his rage seemed to be pacified slightly. He then said, "Does it


    have anything to do with Hadrian?"


    "I think so. They had a falling out with each other recently. I heard that Hadrian wanted marriage,


    but Scarlette wanted to break up. Scarlette was responsible for what had happened to him. Even


    though she didn''t do it on purpose, she took advantage of the incident to flee from him."


    Jepherson fell silent briefly after Stuart had exined the situation. "Send someone to ensure her


    safety. Tell Hadrian to handle this himself when he gets out. Scarlette is peevish, and she will cause


    trouble sooner orter without anyone to look after her."


    "Yes, Mr. Jepherson."


    While Stuart was passing on the instructions to the subordinates, Jepherson gazed at the hospital.


    He was nning to leave, but he changed his mind, opened the door, and got out.


    "Mr. Jepherson."


    Stuart followed him and got out of the car as well. He lifted his hand to signal Stuart not to follow


    him before stepping into the hospital.


    Stuart stood behind him in defeat. Jepherson was reluctant to leave Raeleigh, but he was so


    stubborn. The lost child must have be a bugbear of his, to say nothing of Raeleigh''s identity.


    Jepherson walked into the hospital, entered the elevator, and went up. Stepping out of the elevator,


    he went around to the corridor and stopped when Raeleigh came into his sight.


    Raeleigh could sense that someone was staring at her from the side. It was a familiar feeling that


    could only be felt by intimate lovers. She turned around to look. Surely enough, she saw Jepherson


    standing around.


    Jepherson approached her. Raeleigh looked at him momentarily before she turned her face to look


    inside the intensive care unit. Cynthia had woken up, but her condition was still unstable. In


    addition, her immune system was weak, so she had to stay in the hospital for a couple more days,


    and she needed special care.


    She couldn''t be transferred out of the intensive care unit yet. Santiago was keeping herpany.


    Jepherson walked towards Raeleigh and stopped in front of her. He asked, "Did you go to the


    airport to see Scarlette off?"


    Raeleigh neither answered, nor did she turn to look at him.


    In her opinion, there was nothing left to be spoken between them.


    Jepherson furrowed his brow and said with a cold expression, "You''re not allowed to go out alone


    next time."


    Raeleigh remained silent. Finally, Jepherson''s gazed moved to Cynthia, and it then left after a


    nce at her.

    Never once did Raeleigh''s eye strayed towards him. She couldn''t care less about his departure, and


    she wished that he would disappear from her lifepletely.
