Chapter 1348


    After she was done with her preparations, Raeleigh went to the lobby of the hospital. Xanthos


    apanied her to wait for Jacky. Jacky stopped his car at the entrance and got out. He was


    slightly staggered when he saw Raeleigh. He hadn''t expected her to dress that way.


    After sizing her up, Jacky opened the car door of the backseat and gestured for Raeleigh to go in.


    Xanthus walked over. His gazended on Jacky and he said, "Sorry for the trouble."


    "I''m not doing it for you. That number you dialed is my private number which only a few people


    have. The fact that you called me meant that Santiago had told you toe to me in the event of


    any mishap. I''m doing it to help Santiago."


    Jacky stood aside, dressed in all- ck and looking entirelyposed. He radiated an aura of


    coldness, simr to Santiago.


    Raeleigh also stood there and gazed at them for a short while before she bent down to get into the


    car. Then, she peered at the two people outside the car, waiting for Jacky to close the door.


    Xanthus did not say anything else. He looked at Raeleigh and waved at her. "Take care. Call me


    when you''re free." "I got it."


    After Raeleigh replied to Xanthus, Jacky promptly got into the car as well. He closed the door and


    nced at Xanthus before driving away from the hospital.


    Sitting in the car, Raeleigh didn''t seem bothered about her own safety at all, as if she was


    completely worry-free when it came to that.


    Usually, Raeleigh was not such a person. However, when it came to Santiago, she somehow


    always put herselfst.


    Not long after the car left, Raeleigh observed their surroundings. There weren''t any suspicious cars


    stalking them. Only then did Raeleigh ask Jacky, "Where are we going?"


    "Flynt Moore''s car repair shop."


    "Does Flynt have anything to do with this matter?"


    Jacky nced at Raeleigh through the rearview mirror and answered, "Santiago suspected that


    Flynt was pulling some strings behind the scenes and colluding with someone to harm the Richards


    family."


    Raeleigh ruminated. "Things have been tranquil on Flynt''s side. So, you''ve been in charge of


    keeping an eye on him while Santiago went to look for some clues at the ces Flynt had gone to?"


    It was just a guess. Unexpectedly, it elicited a look of amazement in Jacky''s eyes.


    Jacky said, "It doesn''t seem to me that Santiago has told you."


    Raeleigh kept silent, not answering him. Of course, she hadn''t been told by Santiago. Instead, she


    deduced it using her rational mind.


    But, things were even more troublesome, it seemed.


    Raeleigh was really worried that Santiago was in deep trouble.


    Pursing her lips, Raeleigh said, "Drop me off at a ce where I can get a cab nearby Flynt''s store.


    I''ll hail a cab there. You can follow meter, or wait for me over there beforehand. We''d better not


    alert the enemy. I''ll visit Flynt first and see if I can extract some information from him."


    "That''s too dangerous."


    Jacky disagreed with Raeleigh''s idea.


    Raeleigh mulled over the n. "Since Flynt didn''t confront the Richards family directly, it betrays his


    misgivings about the Richards brothers. If he''s really scheming against the Richards family in such


    a despicable way, then he won''t do anything openly now. If I go inside the shop, then I''ll call


    Xanthus... to let him know where I am. If I get into a fix, then I don''t think Flynt will hurt me. It isn''t


    the time for his showdown yet." "This way, he''ll be fearful of being suspected."


    "Stay outside. If I''m in danger, then you will know it."


    Jacky didn''t have any way to refute that. He had no choice but to concur with her.


    After driving for a while, Jacky dropped Raeleigh off. When she emerged from the car, she did not


    even spare Jacky a nce. She walked to the roadside and waited for the other cars to pass by.


    There was a car repair shop nearby, meaning, there would not be a shortage of cars in the area.


    Soon, she got into a cab, with Jacky following close behind.


    When the taxi came to a halt, Raeleigh took out some money and paid the driver. As the driver left,


    she turned around to observe the building in front of her. A momentter, she walked towards


    Flynt''s store. Just as she reached the door, it so happened that Flynt came out. Raeleigh stood


    there, looking in his direction. Flynt hobbled out with a bandaged arm.


    The sun outside was still shining brightly. When Flynt pushed the door open as he exited, the


    dazzling sun made him raise his left hand to shield his eyes from the rays. Following that, he


    continued heading outside, but he stopped in his tracks after a few steps.


    Lifting his head, Flynt saw Raeleigh, who was standing under the sun in her grey sportswear and a


    pair of grey shoes. It was like a mirage.


    Flynt had a scraggly mustache on his face, and he looked haggard.


    The moment he came into her line of sight, Raeleigh began feeling conflicted. She did not expect


    that he would end up that way.


    Flynt slowly took a step after standing still momentarily. He walked with a limp.


    "What''s up with your leg?" Raeleigh approached him. There was a look of destion on his


    handsome face. Flynt replied, "It''s broken, but the doctor said it''ll heal."


    "What about your arm?"


    Raeleigh then fixed her gaze on his arm. Flynt thought for a moment and said, "It''ll heal too."


    Raeleigh looked around. "I snuck out. I might have to go back soon."


    Flynt was baffled. "Snuck out?"

    "Yes, you see, Stuart was met with some trouble. I''m with Xanthus now, but he has been detained in


    the hospital by the Richards brothers. I''m the same. I don''t know what''s been going on with the


    Richards family these two days. They didn''t check on me. So, I ran out when I was supposed to be


    exercising in the morning."


    While speaking, Raeleigh acted as though something hade to her mind. Then, she made a


    phone call.


    "Xanthus, I''m at Flynt''s ce to visit him."


    Xanthus was slightly astounded when he received the call, but he replied in the next moment, "I


    see. Be cautious ande back early."


    "I got it." Raeleigh hung up and turned around to look at Flynt while putting her phone away.


    "I didn''t know you had ended up this way. I thought you would be fine," Raeleigh exined.


    Cogitating, Flynt looked down at his foot before he said, "Come in."


    He turned around and limped into the store. Raeleigh followed him inside. Jacky watched them from


    afar with his binocrs briefly, before putting them down.


    When they entered the store, Flynt invited her to the living quarters where he had been staying.


    Raeleigh surveyed the ce. It was familiar to her. She had been here before.


    "Have some water." Flynt poured her a ss of water. Raeleigh looked at it and said, "I''ve been


    having hypoglycemiately. Because of that, I started consuming soft drinks. Do you have any?


    Earl Grey tea is fine by me too."


    Only then did Flynt get up to go to the refrigerator. Raeleigh felt much more relieved when she saw


    him take a sk of Earl Grey tea for her.


    The water could have been drugged. However, it wasn''t as easy to do so for packaged or canned


    drinks, especially not right in front of her. After all, Flynt had totally no idea that she wasing.


    Flynt gave her the sk of Earl Grey tea, and Raeleigh opened it to take a sip. She looked around


    the room before she focused her gaze on his arm. "Is it really not that severe?"


    Flynt nodded. He could not take his eyes off Raeleigh''s calm countenance.


    Raeleigh noticed that, of course. As they said, one''s eyes were the window to their soul.


    Raeleigh wondered why she could read everyone''s feelings just from looking at their eyes, except


    for the Richards brothers. How strange!
