Chapter 1346


    Santiago drove away. As he drove, he received a message. He gave it a cursory nce before


    heading towards his destination.


    When he emerged from the car, he looked around. There was nothing special there. Santiago


    proceeded to approach the entrance of a cafe and lingered there for a while. After surveying it from


    outside, he walked in.


    It was not veryrge. It was just a medium-sized cafe. After entering, Santiago found a seat where


    he could observe the other tables. Then, he sat down and ordered a cup of coffee.


    A waitress came over to serve it. Santiago tipped her and inquired, "When did you start working


    here?"


    The waitress was a beautiful girl. She was wearing a ck uniform, and her makeup was exquisite.


    The moment Santiago walked in, she noticed him.


    She was thrilled that Santiago asked her something. She replied, "I''ve worked here for more than


    half a year. Sir, is there something I can help you with?" "Nothing in particr. A pretty girl like you,


    do you have a boyfriend here?" "No, I don''t."


    The waitress soon warmed up to Santiago, who ordered more cups of coffee.


    "I want one of each type of coffee. Just leave them here. Tell your manager that it''s my treat for you.


    Sit down and keep mepany for as long as possible."


    The waitress seemed bashful, but she was internally on cloud nine. She thought that Santiago had


    even more beautiful features than most girls out there. At a single nce, one knew without a


    shadow of a doubt that he came from a rich family. If she became his girlfriend, then she wouldn''t


    have to work in the future.


    So, the waitress turned around and informed her manager about it. The manager was not a dolt.


    There was no way he would give up the chance to earn money. He agreed instantly.


    Sitting down, Santiago stirred a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. His head was slightly


    lowered as he asked, "Is this an old cafe?"


    "You could say that."


    The waitress was tickled pink to be able to chat with Santiago. Santiago asked her about some


    trivial things. Following that, he paid and left.


    The waitress ran out to ask Santiago if they could


    meet again.


    "Give me your hand," Santiago said. Without hesitation, the waitress did as he said. He wrote some


    words on her palm with a finger. "Don''t tell anyone. Call me if anything happens."


    The waitress immediately lowered her head and nodded sheepishly. Santiago let go of her hand


    and turned around to head back into his car.


    Most of the cars in the Richards family were luxury cars. Even the lousiest cars they had still turned


    hands. Santiago was driving Raeleigh''s Lanox that day.


    The waitress took a fancy to him right away. She called Santiago once she got back.


    As he drove, Santiago picked up the call. He smiled and chatted with the waitress while driving to


    his next destination.


    Throughout that day, Santiago met around five women and dropped by at quite a few familiar


    ces. However, it turned out exactly as Jacky had described. Santiago''s efforts were in vain.


    When he returned to the hospital, Santiago sat outside Stuart''s ward for a moment. Alvin, standing


    beside him, asked, "Are you really tired?"


    Santiago''s earphones were still plugged in. He was holding his phone andughed every so often. It


    seemed that he was talking to someone.


    When Alvin queried him, Santiagonguidly replied, "Mmm."


    Raeleigh came to visit Stuart, followed by Xanthus. Seeing that Santiago was lying on a chair


    outside the ward and chatting to someone else, Raeleigh approached him. Santiago pried his eyes


    open and looked at her.


    Raeleigh had a special fragrance to her. Santiago could tell that it was her even if his eyes were


    closed.


    "I''m hungry. Get me something to eat."


    He instructed her unceremoniously, as if he was ordering his Mom around.


    Raeleigh did not take offence to that attitude. She was holding a container of soup in her hand, from


    which she poured Santiago a bowl, before she went inside to see Stuart.


    "Have this first. I''ll prepare some porridge for youter." Afterwards, Raeleigh entered Stuart''s ward.


    Stuart had regained the ability to speak. The only reason he refused to speak was because he


    hadn''t seen Jepherson yet.


    Alvin fixed his gaze on Santiago and frowned. There was no one else outside the ward except


    them. Alvin said, "Raeleigh''s your sister-inw."


    Finishing the soup, Santiago set down the bowl. "So?"


    Alvin said no more.


    Raeleigh said a few brief things to Stuart before she went out and addressed Santiago again. "Let''s


    go. I''ll take you out for a meal."


    Santiago stood up from the chair wearily, as though he was on hisst bit of energy. While hauling


    himself to his feet, he said, "Sleep with me for a while."


    Raeleigh gazed at him. "Are you seriously ill again?"


    Santiago walked to her side and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. Raeleigh shrugged it off her


    shoulder, shooting daggers at him with her eyes. "If you do this again, then I''m going to..."


    Raeleigh looked back at the bystanders who were darting nces at them, turned around, and left


    quickly.


    Santiago was all smiles while following behind her.


    Raeleigh was infuriated to the point of madness by him.


    However, Santiago became unusually quietter. The silence made Raeleigh forget about his


    annoying behavior previously.


    When they arrived at Raeleigh''s house, Santiago pushed the door open and went in. Hey right


    down on Raeleigh''s bed.


    Raeleigh went to the opposite end of the house to prepare food for Santiago. After lying there for a


    while, Santiago got up in search of Raeleigh. When he entered the room, he was talking to a girl on


    the phone.


    There was a clean bed inside. Evidently, Raeleigh had changed the sheets.


    Santiagoid on it in the meantime and crossed his legs as he made a call. While chatting, he


    chuckled from time to time.


    Raeleigh stood aside, cooking. Santiago stoppedughing after some time. After a while more, he


    stopped talkingpletely. Raeleigh turned around to find that he had fallen asleep.


    Switching off the stove, Raeleigh took out a quilt from the opposite side of the room. Just as she


    was about to turn around, Santiago woke up and stood by the door. Raeleigh stepped aside and


    told him, "Sleep on the bed."


    Santiago walked over, turned off his phone, andy on the bed as he narrowed his eyes. "Stay in


    the room and apany me."


    With that, he turned onto his side and slept.


    Raeleigh stood there momentarily before going out to pack the food she had prepared in a thermos


    bowl. Subsequently, she sat down to read a book whereas Santiago was deep in slumber.


    It was already evening by the time Santiago woke up. He sat up and devoured the food Raeleigh


    had prepared for him. After finishing the meal, he wiped his mouth and stood up to leave.


    Raeleigh asked him, "What are you investigating?"


    He had been chatting with so many girls simultaneously. Raeleigh wanted to know whether it was


    something dangerous.


    Santiago had already reached the door when he turned to look at Raeleigh. "Don''t ask too many


    questions."


    "If I don''t, then nobody will know what has happened if you get into trouble. If you don''t tell me, then


    you might as well not eat my cooking in the future. I won''t keep youpany while you rest either."


    Raeleigh put on a strong disy of resolve. Santiago pondered over it, and he then said, "Give me


    a paper and a pen."


    Raeleigh went to get those items and handed them to him. Santiago cooperated and wrote down


    addresses on the piece of paper.


    "I''m going to these ces. Don''t call me. I will be back by the next morning, okay?"


    As Santiago spoke, Raeleigh had already carefully scrutinized the note he had given her. She put it


    away and looked up at him. "One is trying to show off, don''t you get it?"


    Santiago suddenly cracked a smile. "I''m aware. I won''t let my guard down."


    With that, he turned around and left. Raeleigh followed him to the elevator. "Be careful. Don''t push


    yourself beyond what you''re capable of."


    Santiago stepped into the elevator and said, "Go back."


    "Remember my words." Raeleigh''s worries did not subside. She warned him again and again.


    Santiago just smiled. He did not give an answer.


    When the elevator doors closed, Raeleigh called Jepherson at once, telling him that Santiago had


    gone to investigate something.


    From the other side of the line, Jepherson''s voice was calm. "I got it."


    Only then did Raeleigh feel a little relieved. She thought that with Jepherson''s protection, Santiago


    would be fine, but...


    Something still happened.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
