Chapter 1296
Raeleigh and the others knew how Deanna and Zorion felt about each other as siblings. There must
have been a reason for her to have said such things all of a sudden, but what was it?
"Deanna, let''s leave and talk elsewhere."
When Zorion approached her, she quickly hid from him. "I''m not going back. I''m going to Waverly
Vige. That''s where I want to go. You can leave. I''ll tell Dad and Mom about it."
"Deanna, let''s go home."
Zorion was only ever mild-tempered when he was with his younger sister. Deanna. However, he
didn''t appreciate it. Instead, she hid behind Jacky and refused to see him.
"No, I won''t."
"Deanna, you are way too unpredictable. You can spend time outside, but you should alwayse
back home. Do you understand?" Zorion attempted a conciliatory tone, but she couldn''t and refused
to understand him. She was very anxious and shouted at Zorion, "No, never! I will never go back
home."
"Deanna." Worried that something bad might happen to her, Jacky immediately wrapped his arm
around her shoulders. He didn''t want her to get too agitated. Otherwise, she might hurt the baby or
herself.
She felt terribly wronged and shrieked at Jacky, "Are you going back on your word? Do you intend
to hand me over to this horrible person? He wants to kill my baby! He''s a bad person!"
Deanna started screaming at the top of her lungs. Raeleigh and Scarlette were shocked at how
violent she had be. Hadrian suddenly stood up and pulled Scarlette close to him and said, "Go
back to the room."
With the baby still in its mother''s belly, it wasn''t good for her to see this. It wasn''t good for the baby.
Hadrian was very worried about this.
Scarlette didn''t want to leave, but Hadrian bent down and picked her up and went straight into their
room.
After watching them leave, Raeleigh looked at Deanna. Jacky slowly turned around and looked at
Zorion.
He knew that something must have happened. Deanna didn''t want to say it, but he didn''t expect her
to.
While glowering at Zorion, Jacky said, "She''s your younger sister." Zorion sneered. "I know she is,
but she''s only neen years old. Are you going to let her get pregnant even before she''s even
married?" "What do you want her to do then?"
Zorion shouted this at Jacky angrily. Jacky gritted his teeth. "The child in her belly is your nephew.
How can you be this way?"
"Why can''t I? She''s my sister. I can''t let my sister get pregnant before getting married. I can''t let her
marry a gangster who has nothing."
Zorion was furious. Jackyughed. "What''s wrong with being a gangster? Aren''t I human too?"
"A ruffian like you doesn''t deserve her."
"What a joke!"
Jacky''s face stiffened as he took a deep breath. "You will never touch her, and you can forget about
ever seeing my child. From today onwards, we''re sworn enemies."
"Oh, really? Do you seriously believe that you can take over the entirety of Capital City with
Santiago''s help? It''s not that easy."
"We won''t know if we don''t try. Zorion, I didn''t expect you to be this kind of person. Deanna is your
sister, yet you treat her like this..."
He let his sentence hang.
Silently, Jacky turned around and looked at Deanna. He then cupped her face with both of his
hands. "Don''t be afraid. I''ll protect you. No one will hurt our baby. Remember, no one is allowed to."
Jacky bent down and picked her up. He turned around and was about to head upstairs when Zorion
stepped towards them. Raeleigh saw that Jacky was acting aggressively and quickly tried to stop
him. However, she didn''t expect that Zorion would get so angry. Zorion jostled Raeleigh aside. She
fell and hit her head on the corner of the table. She fell onto the floor andy motionless. She had
fallen unconscious.
By the time Santiago ran over, Raeleigh had already fainted. Jacky turned around to look at her. He
froze for a moment before turning towards Zorion. Zorion''s face had turned pale as well. This whole
thing had turned into a terrible mess. Hadrian came out of his room. He took a deep breath and
immediately called Jepherson.
Raeleigh was sent to the hospital. Jepherson rushed over as soon as he heard the news.
He nced coldly at Zorion, but didn''t say anything to him. Instead, he walked over Santiago and
asked, "How is it going?"
"The doctor''s tending to her. She should have woken up by now." Santiago stood outside with a
grim look on his face. If it weren''t for Raeleigh''s sake, then he would have acted out by then.
Jepherson walked past everyone else and entered
Raeleigh''s room. He pushed the door open and stepped in.
Santiago was stunned. He looked around him and then sat down.
A nurse stopped Jepherson, who had just entered the room. "This is..."
When Jepherson saw Raeleigh, he calmed down and asked, "How is she?"
"She''s suffered a concussion and is in aa."
"I''m going to see her."
"Alright, follow me." The nurse turned around and brought Jepherson in. He was the first young
master of the Richards family. This hospital belonged to them. Wasn''t it obvious then that Jepherson
was a member of the family that they owed their jobs to? How many brave little nurses would dare
to deny him entry?
When they reached the operating theater, Jepherson saw a few medical personnel tending to
Raeleigh. They had to part her hair to operate on her injury. Xanthus was also present and
personally oversaw her operation.
Hearing his steady footsteps, Xanthus looked up at Santiago. He then lowered his head and
continued operating on Raeleigh''s wound.
Jepherson drew closer to Raeleigh''s head and looked at her. After confirming that there was a deep
gash, his face suddenly darkened.
"Will it leave a scar?"
"I don''t think so. Fortunately, it''s where her hair is. Otherwise, it would look quite ugly." Xanthus
neatly cut off some surgical sutures, ced down the scissors in his hand, and quickly sewed up
Raeleigh''s injury.
"That''ll do. Bring the patient to the ward." Xanthus breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he was
from the orthopedics department, he still had some suturing skills. He just felt really tired at the
moment.
Xanthus followed Raeleigh as she was wheeled out of the operating theater. Jepherson followed
closely.
Raeleigh was sent to the ward. Santiago and Jepherson entered while the others waited outside.
Xanthus changed his clothes, still looking sullen. He walked into the room, sat down beside
Raeleigh, and remained silent. He knew he couldn''t go on like this.
Jepherson had already arranged everything for Raeleigh. He sat down and looked at Xanthus. "This
was an ident. I think you should understand that."
Xanthus leaned on the chair while he watched
Raeleigh. He was toozy to say anything.
Fortunately, he had found Raeleigh. If he hadn''t, then they would have crushed her.
Xanthus didn''t reply. Jepherson found this immensely troubling.
"I''ll take responsibility for this. What do you want?" Jepherson already had his hands full with Ste.
He had no control over Raeleigh, so he knewpromise was in order.
However, what Xanthus sought wasn''t Jepherson''spromise. He wanted Raeleigh to be safe.
Xanthus kept silent, and the whole ward fell ufortably quiet because of this.
Standing by the window, Santiago put his hands into his pockets and closed his eyes. "It''s my fault
for not protecting her. It''s none of your business. I''ll tell Zorion..."
"That should put things to an end. I''ll look for Zorion. Scarlette is pregnant and Rossie is in poor
health. He''s been in a foul mood recently. Mr. Whalen may return as well."
Jepherson said all of this at once. Santiago sneered, "So, you''ll just let Raeleigh get hurt?"

"It wasn''t intentional. If you hadn''t taken Deanna away and brought her to Jacky, then this wouldn''t
have happened."
"So, you mean to say that this was all my fault?"
