Chapter 1191


    After Cynthia got better, she was transferred to an ordinary ward. Scarlette was gone. Raeleigh


    immediately got a specialist to be in charge of taking care of Cynthia.


    On one hand, it was Cynthia who had been looking after Raeleigh after she had her miscarriage.


    On the other hand, it was indeed inconvenient for a man such as Santiago to take care of Cynthia


    himself.


    "Raeleigh, thank you. I''m sorry for causing trouble." Cynthia repeated this multiple times throughout


    her stay in the hospital. Raeleigh disregarded them all. Unlike Cynthia, she seldom spoke during


    her recovery from miscarriage. It was even more unlikely for her to say the things Cynthia had said


    during that period.


    However, Cynthia was different. She would repeatedly tell the same thing to Raeleigh.


    Raeleigh was ustomed to it. She thought Cynthia wouldn''t give up expressing her gratitude even


    if she told her not to.


    Cynthia had to stay in the ward and seldom get to go out. She also had nothing else to do to kill


    time, so she took it as a way for her to kill her boredom.


    Santiago came back with some food. Seeing that Santiago hade back, Raeleigh walked over


    and took the food from Santiago.


    Raeleigh was by her side all day long, which was pretty much the same for Cynthia. The only


    difference was that she could move around freely, whereas Cynthia could only lie or sit on the bed.


    "Xanthus is here. He''s parking the car outside," Santiago told Raeleigh after he came out of the


    washroom. Raeleigh turned around and shot a nce at him. "Oh?"


    She ced the food on the table and arranged it neatly. Then, she went to the door to wait for


    Xanthus.


    Cynthia could already sit up. Half a month had passed by in a sh. She heard that the weather


    was getting cold, and she looked out from time to time. She felt a sense of sadness whenever she


    watched the trees swaying in the wind. She didn''t expect that thete autumn would pass so soon.


    Xanthus brought a huge fruit basket with him. Raeleigh stretched out her hand to take it over, but


    Xanthus refused.


    "You don''t have to do this. Let me handle it." Xanthus put the fruit basket aside as soon as he


    entered the ward. After that, he stopped in front of Cyntha, and looked at her. "Are you feeling better


    now?"


    Cynthia nodded. "I''m much better. Thank you foring."


    "I should havee earlier, but there was a conflict in the school involving a few students. I was


    with them for the past few days, and Raeleigh''s grandmother needs someone to look after her.


    That''s why I am only here after so long."


    "Actually, my injury isn''t that severe. Raeleigh has exaggerated it." Cynthia shot a look at Raeleigh.


    asionally, she felt that Xanthus would make a better spouse than Jepherson but love was blind.


    Sometimes, only the person whom they chose at first sight could be their life partner. By h*ll or high


    water, it needed to be that person and no one else. No matter how excellent the others were, it


    would do nothing to alter their loves.


    Cynthia then nced at Santiago, who was sitting aside and waiting for breakfast. She couldn''t help


    but to feel that she was the prime example.


    "I wasn''t sure what you like, so I bought some fruits. I guess you guys haven''t had breakfast yet.


    Let''s have breakfast first."


    Xanthus sat aside as he spoke. Cynthia had misunderstood him, but he did not attempt to exin


    herself.


    Raeleigh sorted out breakfast before she asked


    Xanthus, "Have you had your breakfast?"


    Xanthus answered, "Yes, I have. Your grandmother'' s appetite has been great recently. We will go


    out for an excursion in the morning, and then go home to have breakfast."


    "Did she talk about me?" Raeleigh had not gone home for two weeks and she missed her.


    Xanthus smiled. "No, she didn''t."


    Raeleigh froze for a moment. It wasn''t that she was disappointed, but she did not expect for her


    grandmother to get along so well with Xanthus.


    Just when Raeleigh had prepared Cynthia''s food and was about to bring it to her, Xanthus stood up


    and went to the washroom, without closing the door, to wash his hands. By the time he came out,


    Raeleigh had sat down. He went over and took the bowl from Raeleigh. "Let me do it. You can have


    your breakfast."


    Raeleigh stood up. At first, she intended to refuse, but for some reason, she seemed to have


    understood something through Xanthus''s eyes, and she epted his suggestion.


    Xanthus walked up to Raeleigh''s original ce, prepared to feed Cynthia.


    "It''s alright, I can eat by myself." Cynthia wished that she could eat by herself, but Xanthus did not


    let go of his hand. Instead, he took a mouthful of food with the spoon and sent it to her mouth. "It''s


    even more awkward if you keep rejecting. It''s just a meal. Don''t worry."


    Hearing his words, Cynthia stole a nce at Santiago, who was having his breakfast with his head


    down. He did not look at her, which showed that he did not care about this, but...


    Cynthia hesitated for a moment before epting Xanthus''s offer, thinking that she shouldn''t cause


    trouble for others.


    However, it was an awkward breakfast for her. She was a vegetarian, who rarely consumed meat in


    her daily life, but Xanthus kept feeding her with meat. He fed her one mouthful after another


    incessantly. She didn''t want to appear like she was a picky eater, so she didn''t turn him down. She


    wasn''t a big eater, especially since she was hospitalized, her appetite had reduced further.


    However, she forced herself to finish the entire bowl. Xanthus filled up another half of the bowl after


    she had finished. Even though the portion was not big, it was difficult for her to finish it. Santiago


    wouldment every day that she ate like a bird.


    But right then...

    Her upbringing didn''t allow her to refuse Xanthus strongly, so her refusal was too subtle for him to


    take it seriously. As a result, she had to force herself to finish the extra portion.


    As she sat on the bed, she felt that she was so full that she couldn''t even swallow a mouthful of


    water.


    Xanthus got up and stood aside. "You can get out of bed now. Try toe down and do some


    exercises."


    Cynthia was thinking of doing that too. The doctor told her that it would be great if she could get out


    of bed and move around. It would help in her recovery.


    She got out of bed and felt that she was enervated. Xanthus approached her and supported her


    with his hand. Raeleigh frowned slightly as she watched...


    "Inhale, and then exhale. Take your time. You shouldn''t stay in bed all the time. If you don''t move


    around more, then your legs will be stiff in the future, and it''s bad for your blood cirction."


    Xanthus was a doctor, and he was sagacious when it came to treating patients. Everyone


    understood this except for Cynthia herself.


    Raeleigh cast a nce at Santiago, who got up to wash his hands after finishing his breakfast.


    Then, he came back and looked at Xanthus as he wiped his hands dry.


    Afterwards, Santiago walked over and took


    Cynthia''s hand from Xanthos. He held her hand with both of his hands to assist her. The two of


    them paced back and forth in the ward without caring for the presence of the others, as if they were


    dancing in their own world.


    Only then did Raeleigh bring Xanthos out of the room.


    They sat down outside of the ward. Raeleigh said, "The doctor said that it will take more than three


    months for her to recuperate, and she needs to be hospitalized for at least a month. It''s very


    troublesome."


    "Don''t worry about your grandmother. I will look after her." Xanthus knew Raeleigh''s concern, and


    he offered his help. Raeleigh nodded at his reply.
