Chapter 1272


    After Raeleigh left the hospital, she nned to go back. Jepherson did not say that he would not


    allow her to go back. Later, the car arrived at the door of Xanthus''s residence. Raeleigh got out of


    the car and went straight to him. However...


    "Why are you also getting out of the car?" Hearing the footsteps following her, Raeleigh turned


    around and looked at Jepherson with a displeased face.


    "I am homeless now. Don''t you intend to take me in?" After saying that, Jepherson stepped towards


    Xanthus''s vi. Raeleigh stopped outside for a while, and she then followed him inside.


    After entering through the door, Raeleigh changed her shoes and looked into the vi. Xanthus had


    already prepared the food and was waiting for Raeleigh toe back to eat together. But the


    atmosphere was still a little strange. After all, Xanthus did not expect that it was Jepherson who


    came in first, and he had already gone inside.


    Raeleigh exined to Xanthus, "I will find a way to let him leave."


    "Are you able to do this?" Xanthus turned around and took a look at the room where Raeleigh was


    in. As soon as he cleared it, Xanthus came back.


    Xanthos was amused when he turned back.


    Raeleigh said, "There will be a way."


    "It''s good that there''s a way. The most worrisome way is if your ideas fail on him, then it will make


    him bolder." After saying that, Xanthus turned around to prepare the food. Raeleigh stood at the


    door for a while. She did understand Xanthos''s meaning, but Jepherson was indeed very difficult to


    deal with.


    Raeleigh returned after washing her hands. Xanthus had already ced the food. When they sat


    down and were about to eat, Jepherson came down from upstairs as if he had watched the time.


    Raeleigh raised her head to look at Jepherson, who had already changed his clothes. As soon as


    he saw her, he went straight to Raeleigh and sat down beside her. He held up her bowl and


    chopsticks, ready to eat, as if he was at home. Raeleigh fixed her eyes on the bowl in front of her,


    which was empty. It was her dinner.


    "Drink some soup first." Raeleigh''s rice was taken away. Xanthus immediately filled up another bowl


    of soup. Raeleigh took it over and lowered her head to drink the soup.


    "I have fallen out with my family and will live here from today onwards." Jepherson, who was having


    his meal, told Xanthus about his current situation.


    Raeleigh raised her head slowly to look at Jepherson. "You own a hotel outside, don''t you?"


    "The hotel is owned by the Richards family. I have nothing but you." After eating a mouthful of the


    rice, he turned around to see Raeleigh, who wore a nk look on her face. "What are you talking


    about?" she asked.


    "Isn''t that the case?"


    "It''s between you and your grandmother. I don''t want to talk to you. I''m also very confused now.


    Please stay away from me."


    "Now, you don''t need me. You want me to go. But you didn''t say that at the beginning. You still have


    my gift on your wrist. If you take it off unscathed, then I will promise to leave you. Otherwise, it''s


    impossible."


    "You are unreasonable."


    "Yeap, but what can you do to me?" he asked Raeleigh, while putting the rice into his mouth,


    chewing. He had an extraordinarily handsome face, but she was also very angry. Raeleigh said,


    "You are too much."


    "That''s right."


    Raeleigh was speechless and nced at Xanthus on the opposite side. Xanthus froze for a


    moment. Although he did not like Jepherson very much, he was almost amused by his


    shamelessness.


    "Let''s eat." Xanthus dipped some meat into Raeleigh''s bowl. "Eat more and you''ll feel better and


    stronger."


    Raeleigh blushed. Why did she need to be so strong? Did he want to fight? She thought.


    What was the point of being strong if she was unable to defeat a person like Jepherson?


    Raeleigh lowered her head and kept eating. She did not know who she was angry with. After eating,


    Raeleigh stood up and left. Then, she sat on the couch in the living room to watch the news.


    If Raeleigh didn''t watch the news, then she wouldn''t even know that such a big thing had happened


    to the Richards Group... Jepherson was reported missing!


    "Are you missing?" Raeleigh pointed at the TV and asked. He was walking towards Raeleigh with a


    cup of tea with honey and sat beside her.


    Jepherson sat down and blew on the water in the cup, replying to Raeleigh with his nose.


    "Are you crazy?" Raeleigh immediately became unhappy and looked pale. "You are missing. It is


    rted to a kidnapping case. Am I a kidnapper?"


    Raeleigh almost shouted out, while Jepherson sat on the couch casually with his legs crossed. He


    said in an astonishing tone, "If I won''t say that you''re a kidnapper, then who would dare to say that


    you''re one?"


    "The implication is that if I don''t take good care of you, then will I be a kidnapper?"


    Raeleigh was unhappy. Wasn''t that what he meant?


    Jephersonughed. "That''s what I meant."


    Raeleigh got up and went upstairs quietly withouting down for the rest of the day.


    When Xanthus knocked on Raeleigh''s door in the evening, the reporters had already surrounded


    Xanthus downstairs.


    Raeleigh looked out of the window and found that there was a circle of people around the vi, who


    were all looking over, waiting for Raeleigh.


    Raeleigh went to open the door but she did not go down. Instead, she let Xanthus in first and sat


    down. Xanthus was standing on the opposite side of the cab.


    "What are you going to do?"


    "What can I do? Now, everyone thinks that I kidnapped Jepherson, what can I do? Maybe the police


    wille to meter, arrest me, and take me to the police station."


    Raeleigh looked a little bad. She was in a mess and didn''t know what to do. Xanthos asked her


    what to do. How could she know?


    "Since you don''t know what to do..."


    "Don''t start on cranky thoughts. You need to rest. You don''t even know how pale your face is."Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    "I want to rest, too, but I can''t fall asleep. I''m always thinking about it."


    "Don''t bother about it. Just rest," Xanthus said and turned to the door. The door opened and he


    said, "I will talk to Jepherson about this and let him deal with it."


    Raeleigh looked at the door. "Will he listen to you?"


    Xanthus turned around and stared at Raeleigh. "It depends on who you are. Maybe it''s not enough


    if you''re just Dr. Osteen. But if you''re Raeleigh''s brother, then it''s another story."


    After Xanthus left, Raeleigh was stunned. After a while, shey on the bed and covered her face


    with her hands. It was a mess!


    Aftering out of Raeleigh''s room, Xanthus went to find Jepherson, who was watching TV


    downstairs. He heard footsteps and did not look back, but soon, Xanthus came to him and sat


    down.


    The casual posture showed Xanthus''s calmness at that time, which allowed Jepherson to


    understand that Xanthus was by no means an ordinary doctor.


    Crossing his legs, Xanthus watched the news on TV and said, "I don''t want Raeleigh to get hurt,


    and I don''t want her to be involved in anything. If you don''t even have the ability to keep her safe,


    then I can take her away from you. This is the best way to protect her. With my ability, it''s easy to


    take someone away."


    Jepherson looked over at him. "Are you threatening me?"


    "Yes." Xanthus stood up. "If you think I''m a threat, then you can try and see if you can persuade me


    like you persuaded Raeleigh."


    After that, Xanthus went back to his room and left Jepherson alone.
