Chapter 1264
"I know very well that my disease is already beyond treatment. What''s more, cancer is not a
disease that you can cure with money. In that case, I don''t really see a reason to treat it. Whether
I''m going to be dead or alive, it''ll be up to fate." Lamarre got up from the bed, took two painkillers,
and put them in his mouth.
He did not swallow it with water. He lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Right then, he looked like a normal person again.
"I have been diagnosed with lung cancer. When my disease attacks, I will have a high fever and
have symptoms of a cold. Raeleigh saw that I had a high fever and thought that I was only having a
cold."
Jepherson looked at Lamarre and said, "You are an employee of thepany. I won''t let you get
sick. You have to be treated immediately. There is no room for negotiation."
"It''s impossible for you to control me." Lamarre stood by the side for a while. He opened the curtain
and looked at the sunset outside the window. He thought of Raeleigh''s sweet face. "Everybody
thinks that the sunset is beautiful because of its colors. But it is actually considered beautiful
because it waits for no one. If you miss it, then you''ll lose it forever."
Lamarre turned back to look at Jepherson. "Raeleigh is my apprentice. You''d better be smart and
love her. If you don''t, then please let her go as soon as possible."
Jepherson didn''t say a word. Lamarre continued and said, "I''m fine now. You can go back, so that
Raeleigh won''t worry about me. Keep this a secret.
I don''t want her to know about my condition."
Only then did Jepherson get up and turn to the door. Xanthus also followed him out.
Raeleigh was preparing some food at home. Lamarre called Raeleigh, "Come back. They are all
gone."
Raeleigh sent a message to Xanthus. She left home and went to Lamarre''s. On the way there, she
saw Jepherson''s car passing by and turned her face away from the window.
When she arrived at Lamarre''s ce, Raeleigh got out of the car and brought in the delicious food
she made. Lamarre opened the door and invited her toe in.
After the master and student had dinner, Lamarre asked Raeleigh to follow him to his room. Then,
he showed a room full of books to Raeleigh, and let her read peacefully inside. Lamarre then closed
the door as if nothing had happened.
"Where is she?"
When he did not see Raeleigh, Jepherson''s face turned dark. Xanthus also helped to find her, but
he could not find Raeleigh. He also tried calling her but he could not get through to her phone.
"No one answered."
Jepherson came out from the inside of his house and turned back to the car. He sat for a while and
asked the driver to send him to Lamarre''s ce.
Getting out of his car, Jepherson walked to the door and pushed it. The door was locked, so he
knocked on it. Lamarre came out to open the door and Jepherson immediately stepped in and
nced around.
"Where is she?"
He looked unhappy, as if he wanted to eat someone.
But in the end, Jepherson did not rummage through Lamarre''s room. He sat down on the couch
downstairs. After sitting down, he said that he was hungry and wanted to eat.
"Order some takeaway for yourself." He did not care about him.
Jepherson went into the kitchen to cook noodles for himself. He came out to finish his noodles and
waited until Raeleigh came downstairs, and was ready to go home.
"Lamarre..."
Raeleigh walked downstairs and saw Jepherson. He stood up and stared at Raeleigh.
Raeleigh looked at Lamarre. It must not have been Lamarre who asked him toe. He must have
come on his own.
"Are you going back now?" Seeing that Jepherson asked her as if nothing had happened, Raeleigh
stood there and thought for a while. They were a couple right then.
"Yup."
"I''ll walk you out."
Jepherson walked towards the door. Raeleigh looked at Lamarre and left with him.
When they were on their way back home, Jepherson was resting with his eyes closed while
Raeleigh was looking out of the window. Although he did not say anything, he was holding
Raeleigh''s hand.
Even though Raeleigh hated his touch, she did not
resist it.
After getting out of the car, Raeleigh did not invite Jepherson toe in. He looked at Raeleigh''s
back and said, "My parents are back. I have no ce to stay at home. So, I''ll be staying here
tonight."

After saying that, Jepherson stepped in and Raeleigh turned to look at him. "What did he say?" She
thought.
"The Richards family''s Mansion has no ce to stay?"
How could he say such a thing?
When Raeleigh came back to her senses, Jepherson was no longer in the living room. Only
Xanthus was sitting downstairs. When he saw Raeleigh, he told Raeleigh, "He''s upstairs."
Raeleigh then went upstairs to see Jepherson. When she went up, he had already taken a bath and
came out.
Raeleigh stood at the door. Wearing a bathrobe, the both of them exchanged silent stares that
lasted for a few seconds. Raeleigh then came out of the room and went downstairs to sit with
Xanthus. At ten o''clock, Xanthus got up and so did Raeleigh. She went to Xanthus''s room to rest,
while Xanthus offered to sleep in the guest room.
Jepherson waited for the whole night, eager for
her presence.
In the morning, Raeleigh left with Xanthus without having breakfast. She left Jepherson alone at
home. Stuart stood outside the door with a disconste look. As time went by, it was time to part.
In the morning, Jepherson received a phone call from Jenna, saying that she wanted him to go back
to have breakfast. Even without asking, he knew that it was Marissa''s nning.
So, he went back to have this breakfast without any objections.
Marissa''s face darkened the moment they met. She asked, "You didn''te back homest night.
Where did you go?"
"Outside."
"It''s too outrageous. Such a thing is not allowed to happen in the future. Sit down, I have something
to announce."
Marissa looked solemn. Jepherson nced at his father and sat down to eat.
Marissa watched him sit down and said, "You are the eldest son of the Richards family. Your father
is already married at your age. It''s time for you to get married."
"Previously, I thought that Deanna was the most suitable candidate, but in any case, she is still too
young."
"But Ste is different. Ste..."
"Grandma, why are you proposing to me again? I''ve always treated Jepherson as my older brother.
How can you..."
Ste looked unhappy, and Marissa immediately said, "There is no room for objection. I have
already told your grandmother. Today, I will announce that the two families will be inws."
"Grandma..."
"I disagree." Jepherson''s face darkened. Marissa snorted. "You have no choice but to agree.
Marriage is a matter that depends on a well-matched family. With Ste''s appearance, the two of
you would be the perfect match."
"Well, if you like her so much, then why don''t you marry her then!" Jepherson rose to leave. Marissa
mmed her palm on the table. "Hansen, are you going to step in?"
Jenna shrank back and looked at her husband. She didn''t need to voice up, and her husband would
solve it.
Hansen raised his hand and pressed his chest, with his face turning pale.
Jepherson went to his side, and Jenna also went to support him. "Hansen, don''t scare me."
"Hansen, what''s wrong?" Marissa was a little scared when he saw his son''s expression.
Jenna immediately exined, "The doctor said that Hansen''s heart is weak. He cannot stand the
pressure!"
Jenna came up with this story on the spot. Hansen''s eyes gleamed with pride. "The little fox has
be a spirit!"
"Pressure?" Marissa''s face was full of shock. She had never heard of his condition.
However, Hansen looked very ufortable at that time. Despite that, he supported his mother. He
looked at Jepherson angrily and said, "Sit down."
Jepherson turned his face away and looked elsewhere. Hansen asked loudly, "Did you hear me?"
Jepherson turned around and walked towards the door. Suddenly...
